Ocean Port Superyacht Marina
Master Plan
Port Canaveral, Florida USA
Pre-development entitlement, planning and design work in connection with proposed joint venture in Ocean Port Marina. Work included overall market support evaluation, financial projections and investment analysis, and first steps in entitlement process. Ocean Port was envisioned as a super yacht anchorage and water- front entertainment village.
The anchorage was designed to feature more than 70 slips sized for super yachts, making Ocean Port the largest such super yacht marina in the world. Ocean Port would include a waterfront entertainment village, a destination quality town center and recreation complex for visitors and the residents of surrounding communities of Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral.
Ocean Port would meet the worldwide demand for luxury yacht and larger super-yacht slips, which will soon far outpace in-place inventory. Ocean Port will exist within Port Canaveral, the busiest cruise port in the Western Hemisphere. Port Canaveral has emerged since its dedication in 1953 as a major deepwater port of entry with first-class berthing facilities, a thriving marine commercial park and foreign trade zone, and successful cruise and cargo industries. Port Canaveral, where Ocean Port is situated, is a deepwater port that provides the channel depths required by super-yachts.
