The best places to tie up in North America in 2014.

You’ve booked the time off. You’ve got the boat prepped and ready to go. The galley is packed, the gear is stowed, and the tanks are topped off. Now comes the important part—where are you going to go? We wanted to know where the best places to tie up were, so we reached out to our readers, friends on social media, and Marinalife, our partner in crime when it comes to cruising, to find out where we should be docking next time we cruise.

What we found were 25 marinas suited for all types of cruisers. Whether you’re looking for a place to have a quiet weekend with the family, a jumping-off point for your trip down the ICW, a home base for a fishing jaunt, or just a new place to tie up, we’re sure you’ll find it in our list of the best marinas in North America.
