At the intersection of the St. Johns and Ortega rivers, PORT 32 Jacksonville completed a dredging project in just over three months to deepen marina slips to an average of five feet at mean low water. Now, near-shore berths that were previously limited by sediment depth are fully operational.

“Completing this dredging project is a direct investment in our members and in the long-term quality of PORT 32 Jacksonville,” says Austin Schell, CEO of PORT 32 Marinas. “Removing more than 5,700 cubic yards of material and reopening slips closer to shore means more access, more flexibility, and a more enjoyable experience on the water.”

The marina’s amenities include a modern clubhouse, hurricane hole and storm protection, elite dockhand service, and individual slip-side pump-out service.
