Does active captain or other online cruiseware have a way to find grocery stores near marinas? Many time where to stop may be determined by ease of resupply.
 
Not that I know of unless it is mentioned in the "Amenities" or "Reviews" section of the Marina information which it often is. But as direct data, I don't think so.

Have you considered centering a Google Map on the marina of interest and searching for Grocery Stores. You should get a visual display of all the grocery stores close to the marina.

Bruce you surprise me.
Take a few Fishing pole's, Crab Pot's Shrimp Pots and a Casting net. Maybe a Shovel for clams.
Salt from the Sea, and be sure you have some Tony's in the cupboard.
You needed something else?

William: I find walmart reference under settings but no services tab on left, 5 tabs. is some thing missing?
 
Thuddie: My fishing is dome from menus or stores. I find I eat more regularly that way. Hummm maybe I should revert to fishing.
 
Hi, Bruce,
Glad to help. Clicking on a marina (red tab) leads to that marina's default "General" tab//page. There are six tabs at the top of that page. "Services" is second from right (on my display at least). Clicking on that tab opens the Services page, which shows whether that marina has services like pets, pumpout, ice, trash, etc. Using the slider bar on the right, scroll down to find Grocery.

At least that's how I see it on my end.

Regards,
 
I have an Ipad with Navionics loaded ...menu for marine & outdoor shop..also restaurant guide and marine repair to name a few.
It will tell ya how far the store is away from where you are located.
 
The better guide books have that info, and/or just calling the marina takes 1-2 minutes to verify. along with courtesy car info, etc. As a result, we found this to be a total non-issue in our travels up and down the east coast. No computing device required.
 
If you have an iphone, there's a pretty neat app called "Around Me" that can be used to find grocery stores, hardware, etc. You can also search by name, i.r. Sam's Club, etc. It will bring up a list showing the distance from your current location, and from that list you can choose one and it will give you phone number, address and location on a map. I also use it a lot when driving to find the local Cracker Barrels.

The GPS from your car will do the same thing.
