Palm Harbor Marina Dock Expansion
Palm Harbor Marina has expanded its facility to accommodate more yachts. The project has added about 1,000 feet of dockage with finger piers off its southern E-dock. The new piers will be able to accommodate six yachts up to 160 feet and will add to the current 200 slips available at the marina. The E-Dock expansion was scheduled for completion by the end of 2015. Palm Harbor Marina is located in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach, Fla., and is the premier destination for boaters cruising the ICW. The marina amenities include a luxurious private clubhouse with lounge, fitness center, business center and game room, along with high-speed diesel and gasoline fuel pumps, high-speed internet, secured parking and gated access. Palm Harbor also offers a concierge desk that can help all visitors plan arrangements for restaurants, entertainment and golfing excursions along with any boat maintenance and repairs.
