The newly renovated Palm Harbor Marina, West Palm Beach, Fla., will have a booth at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which will be held Oct. 29-Nov. 2.

Slated to open in November, the marina now offers docks specially designed to provide a stable and safe platform for vessels ranging from 50 to 250 feet. Modern features include concrete floating docks with extra-wide gangways, color-coordinated railing systems, in-slip pumpouts, and complimentary Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet. The marina can hold 200 vessels and offers around the clock security.

Visitors to the booth will also receive a complimentary gift. The Palm Harbor Marina display will be located at Booth 900A.
