INNOVATION MEETS ELEGANCE
Located on Florida’s east coast, Riviera Beach lies just north of West Palm Beach in iconic Palm Beach County – an area renowned for its luxury, elegance, and coastal charm. With pristine beaches, vibrant marine life, and close proximity to world-famous Palm Beach, Riviera Beach offers a unique blend of natural beauty and sophistication. Steeped in history and surrounded by opulent estates, this area has been a playground for the rich and famous for over a century. Notable residents, including President Donald Trump, have contributed to Palm Beach’s legacy of affluence and influence. With its sun-soaked coastline, world-class golf courses, and thriving boating culture, Palm Beach County remains one of the most sought-after destinations in the world.
Safe Harbor, the world’s largest owner and operator of marinas, has transformed over 130 properties by upgrading aging docks and infrastructure, and creating world-class destinations for boaters. At Safe Harbor Rybovich – Berth One in Riviera Beach, well-known for its deep-water Atlantic access, the company partnered with SF Marina to design and construct a state-of-the-art floating dock. Installed in 2024, the dock measures 119 metres in length, 6 metres in width, and features a 0.9 metre freeboard. Built with six durable pontoons engineered for exceptional stability and longevity, the L-shaped dock comprises a 43-metre section extending perpendicular to the shore and a 76-metre section facing the Port of Palm Beach. The dock is anchored by twelve 76-centimetre steel piles arranged in an offset pattern to accommodate small vehicles. These piles are fitted with SF Marina’s innovative guides, incorporating safety covers and cushion block technology to ensure silent movement during tidal changes. Manufactured in Sweden, the 150 metric tonnes of dock pontoons were transported by ship to Florida for installation.
