The one and only public marina in Palm Beach completed a $40 million transformation of the old Town Docks in 2021 with a brilliant new master plan that works in harmony with the Town’s ethos, style, and quality of life.
The world-class yacht center provides 84 state-of-the-art, expanded, and enlarged superyacht slips and welcomes vessels from 60 to 294' along four docks — Brazilian, Australian, Peruvian, and Royal Palm. The marina features an improved layout with Bellingham concrete floating docks and upgraded shore power.
