PORT 32 Marinas, LLC (PORT 32) – a leading owner, operator, developer, and acquirer of a growing collection of irreplaceable marina assets in premier markets, is proud to announce that PORT 32 Jacksonville has successfully completed a comprehensive dredging project. The project deepened marina slips to an average of five feet at mean low water and opened previously inaccessible berths closer to shore.
Set at the intersection of the St. Johns and Ortega Rivers, PORT 32 Jacksonville occupies one of the most strategically positioned waterfront sites in Northeast Florida. Located 25 miles from the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, the marina sits close to downtown Jacksonville and within walking distance of a wide range of dining and shopping destinations.
Completed in just over three months, the project removed more than 5,700 cubic yards of sediment, deepening marina slips to an average of five feet at mean low water. The result: previously limited near-shore berths are now fully operational, increasing usable capacity and allowing for a broader range of vessels across the property.
With the dredging project now complete, near-shore slips that were previously limited by sediment depth are fully operational, expanding the marina’s overall capacity and improving the experience for both current members and prospective slip holders.
The dredging effort required the temporary relocation of more than 130 vessels to allow crews full access to the affected slips. For members who were not present to move their boats, PORT 32 Jacksonville coordinated directly with the local TowBoatUS franchise to provide professional relocation assistance, ensuring continuity of service and minimizing disruption throughout the project.
“Completing this dredging project is a direct investment in our members and in the long-term quality of PORT 32 Jacksonville,” said CEO of PORT 32 Marinas, Austin Schell. “Removing more than 5,700 cubic yards of material and reopening slips closer to shore means more access, more flexibility, and a more enjoyable experience on the water.”
The partnership with TowBoatUS reflects the marina’s commitment to member support as an operational standard. By arranging third-party assistance for absent members, PORT 32 Jacksonville maintained the level of attentive, concierge-style service that defines the PORT 32 experience across its network of properties.
PORT 32 Jacksonville offers members more than a slip. It delivers a full boating lifestyle anchored in community, comfort, and convenience. Members gather for organized events, enjoy the marina’s picturesque river views, and take advantage of social spaces designed for connection on and off the water.
The marina’s amenities support that lifestyle at every level. Facilities include a heated pool, pool deck and hot tub, a modern clubhouse, hurricane hole and storm protection, key card dock access, elite dockhand service, and a complimentary laundry facility.
Additional on-property features include outdoor grills and a picnic area, spotless bathrooms, private shower rooms, individual slip-side pump-out service, and reliable Wi-Fi throughout the marina, infrastructure built to match the expectations of discerning boaters.
