New Floating Docks Unveiled at Fort Lauderdale Yachting Center

Marina Bay Yachting Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida has upgraded four new floating docks, each of which can accommodate vessels up to 150 feet.

The new floating docks were manufactured by Florida’s own AccuDock. Each dock is 170 feet in length, comprised of aluminum finished with PVC Wolf decking, and equipped with custom built chain brackets for anchoring purposes due to the deep water of the Marina Bay basin.

Keeping It Local

“These are locally manufactured, high-quality docks that we believe our valuable customers deserve,” said John Connor, Marina Bay Yachting Center’s General Manager. “Each will offer expanded electrical service capable of handling all large yachts including European electrical systems, single or dual 50 amp, single or dual 100 amp single phase (240 volt), and single or dual 100 amp three-phase (480 volt).”

“AccuDock was excited to be a part of such a large dock project right in our backyard. It was a pleasure working with John Connor and his crew, all of whom are extremely knowledgeable in the marina business. Successfully completing a project of this size and nature proves AccuDock belongs in discussions for new docks at any marina,” said Jason Harrison, Owner, AccuDock.

An Impressive Fort Lauderdale Facility

Regarded as one of the finest marinas in the world, Marina Bay Yachting Center is rated among the top 100 mega yacht marinas by Showboats International. A four-star luxury marina, it has 168 slips on all floating docks. It features an amenity-rich environment that includes a 10,000 square foot clubhouse with a crystal-blue resort pool, state-of-the-art fitness and tennis facilities, private theater, hand ball court, business center and a complete Captain’s Lounge. The complex has easy access to local boatyards, as well as major marine manufacturers and suppliers.

Additionally, the complex includes the 150-room TRYP by Wyndham Maritime Fort Lauderdale, which recently celebrated its first anniversary.

Noted Florida real estate developer, Jack Taplin, created Marina Bay Yachting Center. In the 1970’s and 1980’s, Marina Bay was the playground of the rich and famous, with Alfred Bloomingdale and Bill McComas heading a private club with a roster of 6,000 names including such famous members as Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman, Kenny Rogers and Evel Knievel, among others.

With more than 30 years of real estate development experience, Taplin is considered a visionary among his peers for creating lifestyle developments.
