PORT 32 Breaks Ground On Upland Side of Fort Lauderdale Marina

PORT 32 Marinas, LLC, owner, operator, developer and acquirer of Class A coastal marinas, has broken ground on the upland phase of its marina development project, PORT 32 Fort Lauderdale, located just west of I-95 on the north side of the New River, across from Lauderdale Marine Center and Marina Mile Yachting Center. This upland phase will consist of a new drystack containing approximately 700 slips capable of accommodating boats up to 55 feet. PORT 32 Fort Lauderdale will also include a service boatyard with a 150 metric ton travel lift with the ability to haul vessels up to 120 feet, along with enclosed and climate controlled commercial service and office bays available for lease to marine contractors and vendors.

PORT 32’s state-of-the art dry rack systems will be built to sustain wind loads of up to 175 mph and will be fully equipped with a fire suppression system. The drystack is being built with an emphasis on storing large vessels and is designed to exceed current industry standards. The facility will be full-service, with numerous vendors on-site catering to the needs of its drystack customers and their boats. There will also be new and used boat sales and brokerage services available.  Additional amenities include 24-hour security, an on-site fuel dock, and access to the PORT 32 proprietary mobile app for a convenient and streamlined reservation experience.

Previously completed at PORT 32 Fort Lauderdale was a yacht service basin, featuring in-water slips for yachts up to 150 feet. Additionally, the project’s new fuel dock, with high-speed pumps and offering both gas and diesel fuel, is the only fuel dock located along the New River. The upland phase will add amenities for the yacht basin, to include a yacht captain/crew lounge featuring a computer bar, media and recreation area, fitness center, shower facilities, and grilling area.

With this acquisition and following its redevelopments in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach Gardens, PORT 32 will own and operate approximately 4,100 dry and wet slips and over 140,000 square feet of commercial space.
