BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Marinas, LLC has subleased to, or otherwise authorized use of the building located at 4380
Carraway Place by, a company named Cabana Live of Sanford, LLC (“Cabana Live”). Ithas come
to the attention of the Port Authority that Cabana Live has been operating as an event venue with
parties going until late at night (or early the following morning). The parties have been so large
that the Seminole County Sherif?s Office office has reported that vehicles are overflowing the
parking lot, Included with this letter is a call log from the Seminole County Sheriffs Office. In
addition, multiple people were shot at this weekend's event. The Port Authority has also been
notified by Seminole County that Cabana Live has been exceeding its permitted occupancy limit.
There may be a host of other problems associated with this business operations, but the foregoing
information are the facts that the Port Authority is currently aware of.
BASIS FOR DEFAULT:
Marinas, LLC is in breach of the following provisions of the Lease:
ARTICLE ONE, Section B: States, in pertinent part, as follows:
This Lease is made subject to:
2. Zoning ordinances of the County of Seminole, State of Florida, now
existing or which may hereafter exist by reason of any legal authority, during the
term of this lease.
ARTICLE TEN, Section C: States, in pertinent part, as follows:
“Lessee covenants that during the Primary Term and any renewal term hereof it
will conform to and observe, and at its sole expense, comply with all laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations of the United States, State of Florida and County
of Seminole...”
The actions of Cabanas Live in operating these large parties/events and likely exceeding
occupancy limits is a violation of Seminole County regulations, Additionally, the nighttime
operations that result in fights, shootings, and other illegal activities constitute a nuisance, as that
term is defined by Section 832.05, Florida Statutes. There may be a host of other regulations that
are violated by virtue of these activities, and nothing in this notice should be deemed to mean that
the specifically listed violations are the only laws or regulations being violated by the actions of
Cabanas Live.Seminole County

However, this default can be cured in less than forty-five (45) days and it is imperative that the
parties or other events being hosted at Cabanas Live stop immediately.
Sincerely,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 30, 2024
Media contact: Andrew Van Gaale 407-322-4798 / avg@portofsanford.org
The Seminole County Port Authority was established by the Florida Legislature in
1965 to operate the Port of Sanford including both the maritime and land based
industrial facilities. For decades, a bar/restaurant business has operated without any
significant incident at the Seminole County Port Authority. In November of 2022,
the marina operator, which is a tenant of the Port Authority, had a new restaurant
operator sublease the restaurant, Cabana Live. While that operator obtained all the
proper licenses and permits for its bar/restaurant, unbeknownst to the Port Authority,
the operator began conducting late-night parties in 2023. In response, the Port
Authority issued on April 30, 2024, a default notice to its tenant, the marina operator,
as is legally required under the terms of its lease. The marina operator has advised
the Port that these late-night events will no longer take place, and that the
restaurant/bar will operate as a family friendly establishment appropriate to a marina
operation. The horrible crime that occurred at the Port this past weekend should have
never happened, and the Seminole County Port Authority is taking the necessary
steps to ensure it never does again.
