Haulover Marine Center, North Miami Beach, Florida

Improvements are coming to a South Florida marina

Westrec Marinas Haulover Marine Center in North Miami Beach, Florida, has been getting a major makeover that is set for completion by spring 2016. Haulover Marine Center on the ICW at Bakers-Haulover Inlet is nestled between Sunny Isles and Bal Harbor, directly across from South Florida’s popular inland sandbar and one of Miami-Dade County’s nicest beaches.

Split into two sites—Haulover Marine Center on the northern end and Haulover Point at the southern end—the center, which provides dry storage for boats and personal watercraft, is getting a bevy of enhancements to its already long list of amenities.

To enhance and modernize Haulover Marine Center, Westrec is adding nearly double the dry storage with a new building slated to withstand a category 5 hurricane and offers 500 racks. The new five-rack-high dry storage building is designed to hold larger multi-outboard engine boats in the 30 to 50-foot range that are popular today and too cumbersome to trailer. The center will also have a new office, retail store and bathhouse.

Amenities:

  • Bait and tackle shop
  • Boat launching ramps
  • Boat rentals
  • Boat wash-down facilities
  • Charter fishing
  • Commercial slips
  • Electric maximum 50 amps
  • Fish cleaning area
  • Freshwater hookups
  • Gas and Diesel Fuel
  • Marine store
  • Pump out
  • In/out dry storage
  • Restrooms
  • Showers

Dania Beach Marina, FL

Just south of Port Everglades on the Intracoastal Waterway, the Dania Beach Marina reopened on June 24th after a two-year, $7.5 million renovation project, with Westrec Marinas operating as interim management during the reconstruction period.

With 120 wet slips for vessels up to 65 feet, every accommodation is brand new and promotes competitive prices. Water, electricity, Wi-Fi, and pump-out are all available, and seven free public day docks are first to come, first serve. Dania Beach Marina provides laundry, shower and restroom facilities, a cruisers lounge, and a covered pavilion for picnics and gatherings. Barbeque grills and a fish cleaning station allow anglers to conveniently prepare their catch. The Quarterdeck Restaurant offers a delicious daily special and the Chicago-Style hot dog at the Dania Beach Bar & Grill always hit the spot.

Stretch your legs and take a stroll down the beautifully landscaped promenade that house gazebos with gorgeous views of the ocean and pier. Nature enthusiasts can explore the nearby Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park and catch a glimpse of the local wildlife. The marina is also very close to the beach.

Dania Beach Marina is also the site of the Annual Plywood Regatta, a boatbuilding and racing competition for area schools hosted by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida. The marina is also host to the annual chamber of commerce and Kiwanis Club fishing tournaments. A bait and tackle shop is in the works to be located opposite of the marina.

According to John Louis, Regional Manager of Westrec Marinas, spaces are expected to fill up fast. “The level of interest in the new facility continues to grow since its completion, with many new customers coming on board since the grand opening.”

  • 120 wet slips for vessels up to 65′ (no dry storage)
