Port 32 Marinas has started pre-leasing for its $80 million overhaul of the former PGA Marina in Palm Beach Gardens, opening the books well ahead of the project’s planned debut in December 2026. The new Port 32 Palm Beach Gardens is set to replace the aging 50-year-old metal-barn facility with taller, fully enclosed boat storage, upgraded fueling, and modern service infrastructure.
Construction Progress and Timeline
The old metal barn came down in March 2025, clearing the way for a full reset of the waterfront site. Since then, crews have been busy on foundation, utility, and seawall work, with a steel frame next in line, according to a company release. In a press release via PORT 32, the company says steel erection is the next major milestone and the project remains on schedule for a December 2026 opening.
What the Marina Will Offer
When the dust finally settles, the redeveloped marina is expected to deliver 471 slips, broken out as 451 fully enclosed dry storage spaces and 20 wet slips, according to project documents. The plan also calls for two dry storage buildings rising to 83 feet.
As reported by CBS12, the site will feature a 5,000-square-foot ship’s store with fueling stations that let boats pull right up to the building. The equipment package is designed to handle larger vessels and more severe storms, signaling a move toward heavier-duty operations on this stretch of the Intracoastal.
