Renovations At Pier Sixty-Six Include SF Marina Docks

Tavistock Development Company has begun a major transformation of Pier Sixty-Six Hotel and Marina in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, starting with a new state-of-the-art SF Marina floating concrete superyacht dock for its Pier South location.

As visiting superyachts became ever larger over the years, the existing fixed dock located south of the 17th Street Bridge became problematic. Its curved, narrow design limited the size of vessels that could tie-up.

For the first phase of the Pier South renovation, Ebsary Foundation Company installed 440′ of SF Marina Type 2060 floating pontoons. Their 20′ width and 36″ freeboard accommodate superyachts up to 350′ on the main berth. The structure is secured with 30″ diameter steel piles within HDPE sleeves, offset to enable two-way golf cart traffic on the dock. Other superyacht-oriented features include a double row of composite timber rub rails and oversized 15- and 25-ton ship bollards.
