Legacy Harbour Marina Announces May 2026 Reopening Following $15 Million Waterfront Redevelopment

By March 14, 2026April 14th, 2026No Comments

Legacy Harbour Marina will officially reopen in May 2026, following a complete redevelopment of its 13-acre downtown Fort Myers waterfront property. The approximately $15 million waterfront transformation includes the marina, harbor master building and on-site amenities. Located along the Caloosahatchee River at 2044 West First Street, the marina was extensively damaged during Hurricane Ian in 2022 and has since undergone a full rebuild. The rebuilt facility features 131 slips ranging from 40 to 150 feet, advanced dock systems, enhanced utility services and modern marine infrastructure designed for long-term coastal durability and performance.

The new dock system features Bellingham Marine’s Unifloat® concrete wave attenuation system supported by 70-foot steel piles. Interior slips utilize aluminum frame dock systems with synthetic decking engineered for durability in Florida’s marine environment. Slips are equipped with potable water, in-slip pump-out, fire suppression, fiberglass dock boxes and both single- and three-phase power.

“This marina has long served as a homeport for boaters traveling Florida’s west coast,” said Rick Budd, CEO of AIRN Management. “The May 2026 reopening represents a significant reinvestment in Fort Myers’ waterfront and a long-term commitment to the local boating community.”

Legacy Harbour offers direct Gulf access via the Caloosahatchee River and is within walking distance of Fort Myers’ River District, providing convenient access to downtown restaurants, retail and services.

At this time, prospective boaters may join the marina’s waitlist via Dockwa as management prepares for opening. Slip reservations will formally launch once a definitive opening date is confirmed.

Transient slips will be available upon reopening, with capacity determined by annual and monthly occupancy.

Legacy Harbour Marina has engaged Coastal Marina Management as its Management Partner. Coastal Marina Management will oversee day-to-day marina operations, dock staff management and customer service.

The redevelopment began in early 2025 and includes modernized utilities, structural enhancements and infrastructure improvements designed for long-term durability. In addition, the marina will implement an updated hurricane preparedness and response plan as part of its enhanced storm-resiliency measures.

Spanning approximately 13 acres of riverfront, Legacy Harbour offers direct access to the Gulf of Mexico and walkable proximity to downtown Fort Myers. The reopening restores critical slip capacity to the region’s waterfront inventory following Hurricane Ian and reinforces the River District as an active marine corridor.

Boaters may request a slip by visiting fmlegacyharbour.com and selecting “Request a Slip,” or by reserving directly through Dockwa. The newly updated website also provides detailed information on slip sizes, marina amenities, redevelopment highlights and project updates as Legacy Harbour returns to service May 1.

Five Things That Need to be in Your Resume or Cover Letter

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire, help us help you. As we sift through the paperwork, here’s what we are looking for:

1. What you love to do and why.

In PR, you may love writing, editing, interviewing, pitching the media, researching, coordinating events, networking, posting to social media … whew! While we would love it if you had a passion for it all, we’d never believe you if you said as much.

What part of this zany, crazy, whirlwind, yet meticulous, tedious, detail-oriented, profession calls to you and why? Help us make the connection as to how PR is really for you, and call it your Professional Summary.

2. Something you did that changed something or someone else.

If you never showed up to your last job, what wouldn’t have happened? That’s right. Erase yourself. Now which clients disappeared with you? Which articles just fade away? What press releases cease to exist? How much social media did NOT get liked?

We are just meeting you. So take a moment to spell out your impact, and it will be easier for us to see what you can do for the clients of Durée & Company. Share this under your Job Responsibilities.

3. Anything you created.

Feeling humble? Well, stop it. This is the part where you brag. If you craft a delightful blog, master a mind-blowing website, shoot crazy video or direct wonderful events, show us.

Then tell us a bit of how you did it, so we trust that it was your brilliance and not the intern’s. Let’s dub this Your Portfolio.

4. An indication of why you belong here.

At PR firm Durée & Company, we have a culture. Really, all companies do. To learn about ours, do some legwork. At this point, if you’re on our blog, you are in the right spot to begin learning. Hate pink? Not good with women? Live in Kansas? Low energy? Then you might want to reconsider applying. However, if we resemble a group that you’d like to hang out with, share why. You can do that in the Cover Letter.

5. Correctly spelled words – all of them.

Do more than hit spell check. Know how to spell or ask someone to proofread. Correctly spelled words work everywhere, all the time. Consider them the Little Black Dresses of resumes.

So consider these five tips – we’ve just given you a “cheat sheet” about what we’re watching out for. Even if our position may not be for you, feel free to use our advice for another – it may just get you the job!
