Is there a marina equivalent to that while cruising the ICW?
Or do you always have to reserve a mooring/berth?

It depends on the time of year and how big your boat is. Spring and
fall (May and October) are very busy on the ICW and reservations at
least a day in advance are a good idea, especially for larger boats.
