REGINA ROSS
In the heart of Florida’s glittering coastline, Palm Beach emerges as a beacon of quiet luxury and refined living. This prestigious enclave, known for its discerning residents and visitors, offers a lifestyle that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Amidst this setting, the Palm Beach Marina, the town’s sole public marina, stands as a testament to the area’s commitment to excellence and harmony with its surrounding ethos.
The transformation of the old Town Docks, completed in 2021, represents a $40 million masterstroke of design and functionality. This world-class yacht center, embodying the very essence of Palm Beach’s style and quality of life, has been expanded and enhanced to accommodate the needs of the most luxurious superyachts. With 84 state-of-the-art slips, the marina is equipped to welcome vessels ranging from 60 to an impressive 295 feet along its four distinguished docks — Brazilian, Australian, Peruvian, and Royal Palm.
This transformation is not just about size; it’s about an enhanced experience. The marina boasts an improved layout with Bellingham concrete floating docks and upgraded shore power facilities, ensuring that every need of the boating elite is met with the utmost attention to detail.
Gail L. Coniglio, Former Mayor of Palm Beach, aptly captures the essence of this maritime jewel: “Nothing beats a first-class slip in the heart of Palm Beach.” This statement resonates with those who understand the value of location, luxury, and service, making the Palm Beach Marina a coveted destination for yacht owners worldwide.
As the Florida warmth softens and the social calendar reawakens, Palm Beach’s allure is at its peak. This period is the perfect time to experience the quiet luxury that defines the town, from its chic boutiques and gourmet dining to the serene beauty of its oceanfront setting.
The Palm Beach Colony Hotel, freshly reinvigorated and featuring a partnership with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand, exemplifies the town’s luxurious yet understated appeal. Local luminaries like Nick Hissom and Kameron Ramirez, who have transitioned from visitors to residents, are embodiments of the lifestyle that Palm Beach offers. Through their engagement with the community and support of local initiatives, they showcase the depth and richness of this exclusive enclave.
Palm Beach Marina’s new campaign, #IYKYK (If You Know, You Know), invites the discerning to explore its hidden treasures. From upscale local businesses to historic sites, the town beckons those who appreciate the subtleties of a well-lived life.
In essence, Palm Beach is not just a destination; it’s an experience. It’s where the natural beauty of Florida’s coast meets the sophistication of luxury living. For those seeking a world where elegance and exclusivity are the norms, Palm Beach, with its newly transformed marina and vibrant community, stands ready to offer a haven of quiet luxury and world-class yachting.
