The 10 Best Private-Marina & Yacht-Slip New Developments in South Florida

As of September 2026, at least ten South Florida new-construction condominiums include private marinas or resident boat slips. Pier Sixty-Six Residences in Fort Lauderdale leads on capacity (164 slips, yachts to 400 feet, delivered 2025), the St. Regis Bahia Mar will berth yachts to 350 feet by late 2029, and entry pricing runs from $1.7 million to $17 million-plus.

For a certain buyer, the boat decides the address — which is why the small group of South Florida new developmentswith private marinas or genuine resident slip access trade at a premium and sell early. This guide ranks the ten strongest as of September 2026, with slip counts, maximum vessel length (LOA), cost structures, and delivery dates — and closes with the question too few buyers ask before signing: is the slip deeded, leased, or licensed?

Which new developments in Miami and South Florida include private boat slips?

The genuine marina projects cluster in four zones. In Fort Lauderdale, two megaprojects anchor the category: the delivered Pier Sixty-Six Residences on its 164-slip superyacht marina, and the $2 billion St. Regis Resort & Residences Bahia Mar, whose rebuilt marina will take yachts up to 350 feet, per plans reported by Florida YIMBY in October 2024. Our St. Regis Bahia Mar buyer’s guide has the tower-by-tower breakdown.

In Miami-Dade, the standouts are The Residences at Six Fisher Island (deep-water dockage for yachts to 250 feet), the Bay Harbor Islands boutique cluster (Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club, La Maré), Vita at Grove Isle’s 85-slip island marina, and Pagani Residences in North Bay Village. In Hallandale Beach, The Residences at Shell Bay pairs a 48-slip marina with an Auberge-run club. In West Palm Beach, Olara and Alba Palm Beach put resident dockage on the Intracoastal near the Safe Harbor Rybovich superyacht yard.

What does a private slip add to the price?

Slip economics are the least transparent part of any waterfront deal. Where slips are leased rather than sold, South Florida marina rates run roughly $40 to $60-plus per foot per month for larger vessels as of 2026, according to marina-industry guide MarinaSeeker — so an 80-foot slip can run $38,000 to $58,000 per year before electricity and surcharges. At Pier Sixty-Six, residents get priority access to slips, which are leased separately from the residence, according to project sales material summarized by Manhattan Miami as of 2026.

Where dockage is bundled — Fisher Island’s club structure, Shell Bay’s yacht club, Bay Harbor boutiques that assign slips to units — the cost is capitalized into the purchase price or membership instead. Deeded-slip resale pricing in new buildings is thinly reported [VERIFY: recent deeded slip sale comps in new South Florida condo marinas]. Model the slip alongside carrying costs; our breakdown of what a $5M new-development condo really costs per year shows how fast dockage, dues, and insurance stack.

The 10 best private-marina new developments, ranked

1. Pier Sixty-Six Residences, Fort Lauderdale. The benchmark. Tavistock Development Company delivered 122 residences across four buildings in September 2025, wrapped around a 164-slip marina handling yachts up to 400 feet.

2. The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale. The Related Group, Tate Capital, and Rok Acquisitions are rebuilding the 40-acre Bahia Mar Yachting Center — home of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show — into a Monaco-styled district: slips for yachts to 350 feet, a 197-key St. Regis hotel, and roughly 160 phase-one condominiums from $4.4 million (hotel residences from $2 million), per Florida YIMBY and Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

How do you verify whether a slip is deeded, leased, or licensed?

This is where slip deals go wrong. The three structures look identical from the dock and behave differently at resale:

Deeded slips are real property. You receive a separate legal description — or a limited common element permanently assigned to your unit in the declaration of condominium — you pay taxes on it, and it transfers when you sell. Verify by ordering the recorded declaration from the county and finding the slip in the exhibit, not the brochure.

Leased slips give you a term, not title. Pier Sixty-Six’s structure — residence purchase plus separate marina lease — is the common model at commercial-grade superyacht marinas. Ask for the rate card, the renewal mechanics, and whether resident priority is contractual or a courtesy.

Licensed slips are the weakest form: a revocable right to use a space, often first-come, sometimes bundled into club membership. Fine for a day boat; risky as a value assumption on a $10 million purchase.

One more layer: who owns the land under the water. Bahia Mar sits on land the City of Fort Lauderdale owns and leases long-term to the developer [VERIFY: exact ground-lease term and expiry]; submerged land often involves state sovereignty leases as well. None of this is disqualifying — it simply must be priced. Have counsel confirm the structure before the deposit schedule hardens, and note that the rules in our guide to assigning a pre-construction contract in Floridaapply to slip rights only if the contract says so.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Miami new construction condos come with boat slips?

As of September 2026, Miami-area new developments with resident boat slips include Vita at Grove Isle (85 slips), The Residences at Six Fisher Island (island marinas, yachts to 250 feet), Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club (6 slips), La Maré Signature Collection (17 slips), and Pagani Residences in North Bay Village, which plans a resident-exclusive marina for vessels over 100 feet.

Which new development has the largest private marina in South Florida?

Pier Sixty-Six Residences in Fort Lauderdale, delivered September 2025, sits on a 164-slip marina accommodating superyachts up to 400 feet — the largest vessel capacity of any residential project in South Florida as of September 2026. The rebuilt Bahia Mar marina at the St. Regis project will handle yachts to 350 feet when it completes around late 2029.

How much does a boat slip cost at a South Florida condo?

Where slips are leased, South Florida marina rates run roughly $40 to $60-plus per foot per month for larger vessels as of 2026, per industry guide MarinaSeeker — about $38,000 to $58,000 a year for an 80-foot slip. Deeded or club-bundled slips are capitalized into the purchase price or membership instead.

What is the difference between a deeded and a leased boat slip?

A deeded slip is real property: it is recorded in the condominium declaration or as a separate parcel, is taxable, and transfers with a sale. A leased slip is a contractual right for a term at a rate that can reset. A licensed slip is a revocable use right only. Always confirm the structure in the recorded documents, not marketing material.

Does the St. Regis Bahia Mar include a marina for residents?

Yes. The $2 billion St. Regis Resort & Residences Bahia Mar redevelopment in Fort Lauderdale rebuilds the Bahia Mar Yachting Center with slips for yachts up to 350 feet, per plans reported in 2024. Phase-one condominiums start at $4.4 million and completion is targeted for late 2029. The land is leased long-term from the City of Fort Lauderdale.

Are there new condos with private marinas in West Palm Beach?

Yes. Olara, on the Intracoastal at 300 Butler Street, includes a private marina with residences from $1.7 million and completion expected 2028. Alba Palm Beach, a 55-residence boutique on North Flagler Drive from $2.5 million, has a private dock with resident-only slips. Both sit near the Safe Harbor Rybovich superyacht facility.

Is Shell Bay’s marina open to non-residents?

The Residences at Shell Bay in Hallandale Beach includes a 48-slip private marina with direct Intracoastal access, operated within the Auberge-managed Shell Bay Club. Access runs through the club structure rather than public rental. The 108-unit tower topped out in March 2026 and is planned for 2027 delivery, priced from about $2 million.
