Port Canaveral is located on the east coast of sunny central Florida. The surrounding area offers many exciting attractions, dining options and entertainment. With more recreational opportunities than all of Florida’s 13 other seaports combined, you’re sure to find something you love.

The Port itself features three public parks for beaches, marinas, fishing piers, bike trails, campgrounds, and much more. Grab a bite at one of the area’s many restaurants and lounges, where you’ll find everything from quick snacks to full-course meals. Waterfront dining is really a treat, and seafood is always the specialty.

When the sun goes down, be sure to hit The Cove at Port Canaveral, a waterfront destination for locals and tourists to enjoy a variety of restaurants, charter boats, shops and live entertainment. Take a seat at one of the outdoor tables at the many tiki bars and enjoy the cool ocean breeze, or dance the night away to DJs, live bands and karaoke.

Nearby in Brevard County, Florida’s Space Coast comes alive. Check out the Kennedy Space Center, soak up some rays at Cocoa Beach, or paint the town at one of the area’s many nightclubs. From shopping and museums to a wildlife preserve and airboat rides, there’s plenty to see and do.

SunCruz Casinos was one of many cruise lines that offered 'cruises to nowhere,' legally transporting passengers into international waters beyond the reach of federal and state gambling laws.

Four ships operated out of four ports including Jacksonville (SunCruz VII), Key Largo (SunCruz I), Myrtle Beach (SunCruz VIII), and Port Canaveral (SunCruz XII).^[1]

On December 16, 2009, SunCruz Casinos was reported to be closing amid reports of owing $300,000 to the Canaveral Port Authority.^[2] Parent company Ocean Casino Cruises filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy December 28.^[3]

At the time of the filing of bankruptcy, there were about 300 full-time and part-time employees.^[4]

History[edit]

In 1994 Gus Boulis, already a multi-millionaire by founding the Miami Subs sandwich shop franchise, bought a number of luxury yachts. He remodeled the yachts as casinos, and began to operate his 'cruises to nowhere,' sailing three miles from the Florida coast into what was then considered international waters.^[5] There, out on the sea, passengers would gamble on poker, blackjack and slot machines. Boulis called his fleet of 11 ships the SunCruz Casino line. By the time he sold the company in 2000, SunCruz Casinos was earning tens of millions of dollars in annual profits, and employed over 2,000 people.

In September 2007, SunCruz discontinued operation at Palm Beach.^[6] Service was subsequently discontinued at Daytona and Treasure Island.

Investigation[edit]

In the 2000s, lobbyists such as Jack Abramoff became involved illegally with the sale of the line. Boulis was murdered in 2001.
