The Exciting Reopening of Port 32 Palm Beach Gardens
In time for the bustling winter season, Palm Beach County is set to welcome back a cherished destination for boating enthusiasts: the transformed former PGA Marina, now known as Port 32 Palm Beach Gardens. This site not only honors its legacy but also fills a significant gap by offering much-needed amenities to both local residents and visitors.
Milestone Achievement: The Topping-Out Ceremony
On June 4, an important milestone was marked at the marina with the topping-out ceremony, celebrating the completion of the last structural beam in the new constructions. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as multiple contractors and development executives signed the beam, a tradition that signifies good fortune for the project. The property will feature three new buildings, with two designated for dry stowage, office spaces, and boat sales showrooms, while the third will house a ship’s store and a fuel dock. This development arrives about 15 months after the old, weather-worn building of the PGA Marina was demolished.
A New Vision for Boating
Once construction is complete, Port 32 Palm Beach Gardens will boast 471 slips, including 20 wet slips designed to accommodate yachts and modest-size megayachts up to 112 feet (34 meters). The remaining 451 dry stowage slips cater to the high demand from residents and visitors who own tenders and small powerboats. This new setup promises to create a vibrant community of boating enthusiasts, eager to explore the pristine waters of South Florida.
Prime Location and Concierge Services
Situated conveniently along PGA Boulevard, the marina is adjacent to a popular restaurant and offers direct access to both the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. This prime location is not just about view and accessibility; it’s also about the experience. Port 32 promises a range of concierge-style services, making life easier for boat owners and their crews. Services like provisioning, on-site repairs and maintenance, and haul-out and launch for stored boats will be readily available, ensuring a seamless boating experience.
Cutting-Edge Facilities
Among notable features, Port 32 will host the largest marina forklifts in the country, capable of lifting 75,000 pounds. This capability will ensure that even the most substantial vessels can be accommodated effortlessly. Additionally, the marina is engineered to withstand 180-mph winds, equivalent to Category 5 hurricane conditions, making it a unique safety haven in Palm Beach County.
Booking and Information
As anticipation builds for its official reopening, Port 32 is actively taking slip-lease bookings. This presents an exciting opportunity for boat owners seeking a new home for their vessels in a state-of-the-art facility designed with their needs in mind.
