In addition to scenic beaches and outstanding sportfishing, Marco Island, Florida, is home to The Esplanade, a new, high-end condominium and retail development. Complimenting the property is a 77-slip, state-of-the-art marina designed and installed by Bellingham Marine Industries.

Situated on more than 1,100′ of waterfront on Smokehouse Bay, the marina consists of 19,045 square feet of Unifloat concrete floating docks. Slips range in length from 35′ to 70′, with T-head slips for boats up to 100′, and feature electrical, plumbing and fire suppression systems. The marina also features dock entrance/observation platforms and special walkway lighting to enhance the waterfront appeal of the project.

A large platform constructed in the center of the facility allows shoreside entertainment events to be held in a beautiful marina setting. Besides incorporating full-length finger piers and utility connections via the locker boxes, The Esplanade was built to withstand hurricane force storms and is a safe haven for the seasonal owner.

Condo and retail project completion is expected in the Fall of 2003.

Bellingham Marine designs, manufactures and installs Unifloat® floating dock systems, Unideck® freshwater dock systems and Unistack® dry storage buildings for marinas and boat service facilities worldwide.
