Situated at Mile Marker 92 on the gulf side, strategically Mangrove Marina is a well-positioned facility and the largest full service marina in the upper keys. The asset currently consists of 103 wet slips, 22 transient slips, 96 dry rack spaces, 40 yard storage spaces, boat ramp, boat launch, fueling facilities, ships store, parts and service bays, laundry, bath house, and a working yard. More importantly, Mangrove Marina is currently one of only two marinas which offers plentiful transient dockage along the Florida Keys inside route, from south of Jewfish Creek to Islamorada. And with all that the Florida Keys have to offer by way of their unparalleled sunsets, deep history, abundance of marine life and natural wonders, Mangrove Marina offers the full package of unlimited opportunity. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Mangrove Marina is located at 200 Florida Avenue Tavernier, Florida, less than a mile away from Tavernier Park Airport. It is a fully operational marina site with various accessory improvements that occupy an upland site. The subject site consists of four separate land parcels with total land area of approximately 14.15 acres. Of the total land area, 167,468 square feet (3.84 acres, or 27.14%) is indicated to be upland, and 478,724 square feet (10.99 acres, or 77.64%) is indicated to be submerged. The subject is zoned MU, Mixed Use and NA, Nature Area by Monroe County. Improvements consist of an 880-sq. ft office, a 1,680-sq. ft. storage building, a 1,232-sq. ft. bath & laundry building, and a 1,538-sq. ft. elevated CBS recreation building, for a total gross building area of 5,530-sq. ft. Off the busy highway and Intracoastal, the marina is quiet and enjoys sunset views, and therefore is attractive to liveaboard boaters. Sheltered within "Community Harbor", Mangrove truly is a hidden paradise in the upper Keys. The hearty mangrove trees surrounding the marina protect but also provide a quite environment for the liveaboard tenants. What's more, because of the perceived safety of its protected location, this area is considered a “hurricane hole”; the last major hurricane, Hurricane Wilma, which occurred in 2005 caused no serious damage to the marina. In fact, the last time the marina experienced any significant hurricane damage was in the 1960’s.

Mangrove Marina TAVERNIER, FL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION INVESTMENT OVERVIEW THE OPPORTUNITY The marina has significant upside due to its upper keys and gulfside location, and the full arena of marina services it offers, which include storage, fuel, boatyard, and liveaboard - all great attributes to the boating community. There are also 22 transient slips with no power heads that rent to small boats, and also get used at the launch and gas dock. This gives Mangrove Marina the greater advantage of capitalizing on the majority of the transient boating traffic traveling through Key Largo and Tavernier, as well as liveaboards, and should enhance both the occupancy and the sale of boat slips as the market returns. And given the fact that the state only grants a limited number of approvals for liveaboard marinas, especially large marinas like the subject, and the rules to obtain such approvals are restrictive and difficult to come buy, Mangrove's marina operations are protected by significant barriers to entry. Finally, Mangrove has a captive market, and positions well to double its income over the next three years across the following income sources: fuel, boatyard operations, additional annual lease contracts, and commercial space leases.

    STATE OF THE COUNTY 2017/18 HOME OF THE FABULOUS FLORIDA KEYS: ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY & RESILIENCE 2 Monroe County | monroecounty-fl.gov Monroe County – and all its citizens – have been through a lot these past few months. Our island paradise was hit by the strongest and largest storm to make landfall in the Keys in more than half a century. Hurricane Irma and her Category 4 winds and storm surge struck with fury. From Ocean Reef to Key West, no part of the Keys was spared her wrath. Some of our citizens lost their homes. Some of our citizens lost their businesses. Some areas were hit much worse than others. All of us saw our tropical island chain and blue waters transformed into a mess of barren trees, sunken boats and scattered debris. Nearly a week before the storm struck on Sept. 10, 2017, Monroe County and its Emergency Management Team began preparing specifically for Irma. We worked simultaneously to help our visitors and citizens evacu- ate to safe locations and shelters for Hurricane Irma, while also preparing to respond to whatever the storm left in her wake. As soon as the hurricane passed, Monroe County’s MESSAGE FROM Emergency Response was in high gear with help staged and ready to mobilize. It was a coordinated effort with COUNTY our five municipalities and many other responding federal, state and local entities – as well as a small ADMINISTRATOR army of volunteers who came from around the country to lend support. And, of course in the Keys, neighbors ROMAN GASTESI helped neighbors.

    BISCAYNE BAY - CARD SOUND LOBSTER SANCTUARY THE TAKING OF LOBSTER IS PROHIBITED AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR in Biscayne Bay-Card Sound Lobster Sanctuary. The sanctuary boundary extends from the northern edge of Matheson Hammock Park east to the southern tip of Cape Florida (Key Biscayne). From Cape Florida it runs south to Soldier Key then along the eastern high water line of Soldier Key, the Ragged Keys, Boca Chita Key, Sands Key, Elliott Key, Old Rhodes Key, Swan Key, Palo Alto Key, and Angelfish Key to the southern edge of Pumpkin Creek. It turns north and then south, running along the high water line of Key Largo, following the western shore of Pumpkin Creek, the southern shores of Angelfish Creek and Little Pumpkin Creek, and the eastern edge of Card Sound to the Card Sound Bridge. From the Card Sound Bridge it runs north along the western high water lines of Little Card Sound, Card Sound, and Biscayne Bay to the northern boundary of Matheson Hammock Park. All natural, artificial, and tidal creeks between the islands and along the mainland are included in the Sanctuary and are closed to lobstering. Lobsters may be taken east of the islands during the legal seasons, except in the Legare Anchorage (see map) where swimming, snorkeling, or diving is prohibited year round. Legally taken lobsters may be transported through the Sanctuary as long as no one from the boat is overboard (in the water) while inside the Sanctuary. Florida State laws pertaining to the harvesting of spiny lobster apply to all areas within Biscayne National Park.
