America’s Cup Harbor in San Diego, California, is home to a completely renovated boating complex. Sun Harbor Marina now boasts a new Unifloat concrete floating dock system designed, manufactured and installed by Bellingham Marine.
This 94-slip, ADA-compliant, turnkey project included the rehabilitation of approximately 100 slips and construction of a new public taxi dock with pump-out facility. Each slip has full services, as well as its own pump-out hydrant, and the Unifloat docks feature a special aggregate finish with unique coloring and stamped wave pattern. In addition to its new marina, Sun Harbor has utilized the latest innovations in green building technologies to offer its visitors five-star service in a new restaurant, shopping area and office spaces.
Sun Harbor hopes to become the first ever, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified marina. The buildings have been designed to have minimal impact on the environment and take utmost advantage of natural light.

The Royal Motor Yacht Club Broken Bay in Newport Beach, New South Wales, now offers world-class amenities to members and visitors alike. Bellingham Marine Australia (BMA) has completed the design/build contract for its Unifloat concrete floating docks, wave attenuator and related services. The project involved removal of the existing, fixed timber docks, which had inherent safety problems and splintering decks and provided difficult access to the boats, particularly at LOW tide.
Bellingham constructed 148 slips, featuring the company’s ultra-stable walkways and berthing fingers. This system handles craft up to 80′, and provides sideties for vessels up to 100′. Thanks to the 1,000′ wave attenuator, which incorporates extra-deep draft floats to support a new “fast-flow” fuel facility, boaters can access their craft through all tidal ranges and weather conditions.
The marina also offers swing moorings for 50 vessels. RMYC-Broken Bay is located north of Sydney and has direct access to some of the finest beaches, bays and cruising and sailing waters. The Club fits into its natural surroundings, with sandstone hills and homes on one side and Kurling Gai Chase National Park on the other. -2- RMYC-Broken Bay facilities include a bistro, restaurant, heated pool, playground, laundry, showers, fishing club and junior sailing club. Services are rendered by a marine engineer, shipwrights, electrician and boat broker.

A truly unique venue in Barcelona, Spain, the Forum, will soon boast a state-of-the-art marina—the Port Forum Marina. Bellingham Marine Europe, based in the UK, has been contracted by Premia Marinas of Barcelona to design and build a Unifloat concrete floating dock system.
The turnkey project began in July 2004 and is targeted for completion in April of 2005. Port Forum Marina will consist of 190 slips in two basins ranging in size from 10m to 80m, and will include a Drystack dry storage building to accommodate 250 boats. Bellingham will also supply all the necessary amenities, including electricity, potable water, sewer pumpout, lighting and aluminum gangways.
The project will provide slips in a phased handover manner, allowing slip sales to be completed as work progresses. Construction of the Bellingham Unifloat system follows the conclusion of the Forum Barcelona 2004, a gathering where the citizens of the world can come together to debate the most urgent issues of the 21st century. The Barcelona city council, the Catalan Autonomous Government and the Spanish government unanimously approved the Statement of Principles and Values, which is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and United Nations program principles.
This specially constructed harbor features the world’s largest solar panel and many other unique and environmentally friendly attractions. Points of interest include a circus facility, tourist ferries from the Port of Barcelona, a children’s’ Peace Camp and many areas where people can view the Mediterranean or simply enjoy each other’s company.

Formerly a quiet, fishing and farming community in subtropical Australia, Redland Bay in Queensland is now a growing, suburban township that boasts direct access to the beautiful islands in Moreton Bay. To help the ferries shuttle residents and visitors to and from the islands, Bellingham Marine Australia was contracted to design and build a state-of-the-art dock system.
The project included six Unifloat concrete floating docks for 60′ commuter ferries, featuring hardwood walers, double thru-rods and complete roofs over the gangways, walkway and fingers for protection from sun and rain. The walkway is a generous 18′ wide, and the fingers measure 9′ wide. To make boarding and exit easy and safe, the system has 3′ 6″ of freeboard. Bellingham also installed emergency, solar-cell lighting to be used in the event of a power blackout.
Redland Bay forms part of Moreton Bay, approximately 25 miles east of Brisbane, the capital of the Australian state of Queensland. Although it’s not the laid back farming community it used to be, Redland Bay is still renowned for its cool breezes, relaxed lifestyle and spectacular vistas of the bay.
