At $400 a month it looks like a great deal. Not a lot of detail on the website other than they are inspected and serviced twice a year and serviced by the city pumpout boat. Can't tell if there are other onshore services like showers or fresh water, but otherwise still seems like a great idea if you want to spend time there. Wonder what the availability is like?

Interesting ... always looking for additional places down there. Can you share the web site url, please.
Are these separate/different than the city run Garrison Bight Field? Where is this new field located?

I live on the hook in Key West and I'm not aware of any new mornings that have been installed in the last year. There are plans to install Additional moorings but I think it still Some time away

Not according to this:
Located north of City Marina, in the area between Fleming Key and Sigsbee Park, is Garrison Bight Mooring Field. The mooring field began with 81 moorings which were increased this year to 149 Moorings thanks to grant from Monroe County's Department of Marine Resources.
These moorings host a mix of full-time live aboard as well as transient boaters. Each mooring system is inspected, top to bottom, every 180 days. Buoy systems with any sign of wear or damage are replaced. Interim inspections and damage is taken care of by the Mooring Field Dock Master.

Date of web page referenced?
Well, that would be great, doesn't look like there were boats out there when I was down last week, but maybe I just had a bad angle.
The only thing I wonder about that web page, is when was it last updated? Like too many pages on the web there is no 'last updated' or 'good as of' date. I wonder if it's dated, and the '... increased this year ...' maybe from a year, several years in the past?

After expressing my own observations I checked with the dockmaster results....., no new moorings have been installed at the Is Garrison bight mooring field in the last year here. That report you posted is erroneous
