Rising Demand for Private Marinas in Luxury Markets
As boating grows in popularity, luxury homebuyers are seeking private marinas for convenience and safety. Developers are meeting the demand.
MIAMI — As boating increases in popularity, a growing number of buyers are seeking private marinas at their luxury homes for convenience and safety.
Private marinas provide flexibility for homeowners for unplanned outings and add to the high-end experience luxury owners are seeking. Developers are including more custom-build private docks and marinas into their residential projects to meet demand. Homes in areas that include Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach pitch private dock and marina amenities during the listing process.
Boat lifts and lighting systems require a certain knowledge and tool for maintenance and repairs, but there are businesses to address those needs. South Florida has a vast system of rivers, as well as mild temperatures, making it an ideal location for a private marina.
