Old Port Cove Marinas
The North Palm Beach's Hottest Marina Destinations

Old Port Cove Holdings is the umbrella company that owns and operates Old Port Cove Marina, New Port Cove Marine Center, and North Palm Beach Marina, all in northern Palm Beach County, Florida. The three complexes have undergone large-scale renovations in the past few years, demonstrating the parent company's commitment to main- taining and upgrading its facilities. "We want to provide the best dockage and accommodations for our clients, for literally every boat size,' says Rick Morgan, president and C.O.O. of Old Port Cove Holdings. "And we want to make it possible for the mega-yacht owner to access and enjoy the elegance of the Palm Beach lifestyle."

The three individual properties are each close to the Palm Beach-Lake Worth Inlet. Since there are no drawbridges to the inlet, it's easy to get to the ocean for sport fishing and island hopping. The marinas' locations are also convenient to I-95, Florida's turnpike, Palm Beach International Airport, and various private airfields. Before the recent refurbishments, the Palm Beach area could only accommodate a few mega-yachts at a time. Old Port Cove Holdings redrew their properties' footprints, creating ample space for yachts up to 190 feet.

Nearby Palm Beach Gardens and the PGA Corridor, adjacent to North Palm Beach, have been substantially refreshed and now offer upscale shopping centers and more than 90 restaurants, cafes and bars. The neighborhood has become trendy but is still low-key, and is a terrific alternative to the hustle and bustle of Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Old Port Cove Marina
Set on a 60-acre peninsula in the heart of North Palm Beach, Old Port Cove Marina completed $7 million in renovations in November 2007, and nearly $23 million in work in November 2008. All existing docks, piers, and pilings were torn out, and a beautiful new state-of-the-art hardwood decked floating-dock system installed. The marina now features new power pedestals with 100-amp single and 3-phase electric, plus cable, phone, and WiFi hook-ups, and in-slip pump-out. The bulkheads have been lushly relandscaped and new lighting illuminates the walkways. The fuel dock has been upgraded with new top-of-the-line equipment. Old Port Cove Marinas, Palm Beach, FLThe next phase of work will reopen the marina's waterfront restaurant and bar.

North Palm Beach Marina
Located on the Intracoastal Water way between the north end of Lake Worth and the Parker Bridge on U.S. Highway 1, North Palm Beach has the latest in floating docks: a sheltered, secure harbor, a ship store, and diesel fuel and more than 100 slips for vessels from 35-150 feet.

New Port Cove Marine Center
The 45-slip marina sits on the mainland just west of Peanut Island and the Lake Worth Inlet. Completely rebuilt in 2005, the complex accommodates vessels to 65 feet and has one of the best dr y-storage facilities in the region: room for 280 craft up to 40 feet maneuvered around with the help of two custom-built fork lifts.
