🛥 South Florida’s luxury real estate story is expanding beyond penthouses and waterfront estates. Marinas are becoming some of the most sought-after real estate amenities in the region.
As more high-net-worth residents choose to live in South Florida year-round, demand for dockage—particularly for larger yachts—is putting pressure on existing marina capacity.
Here’s what’s happening across Miami-Dade:
✨ 55,200 recreational vessels are docked in Miami-Dade.
✨ Public marinas in Miami and Miami Beach are being upgraded to accommodate yachts ranging from 80 to 200+ feet.
✨ Miami Beach Marina is pursuing a major redevelopment designed to better accommodate larger yachts.
✨ Haulover Park Marina recently completed a $13.8 million renovation, while improvements at Pelican Harbor Marina are also underway.
✨ Rickenbacker Marina & Miami Marine Stadium are the subject of a proposed $80 million redevelopment by Suntex Marinas, with the proposal subject to voter approval.
✨ Miami Beach is also seeing private investment in dockage. A proposed private nine-slip marina on Terminal Island has received approval, with plans that also include a helipad.
