Marina Boats Dock Harbor Pleasure Moored Securely Facilities

word marina
definition A dock or harbor where pleasure boats can be moored securely, often with facilities offering supplies or repairs.
eg_sentence The coast of Florida has marinas all along it for the use of anything from flimsy sailboats to enormous yachts.
explanation Marina comes straight from Latin, where it means simply “of the sea.” At a modern marina, sailors can acquire whatever they need for their next excursion, or they can tie up their boats until the next weekend comes along. Some even imitate John D. MacDonald's famous detective hero Travis McGee, who lives on his boat in Miami and rarely leaves the marina
