Bluewater’s South Florida Location at Safe Harbor Old Port Cove

Oct 31, 2024 | Magazine | 0 comments

Location is everything in real estate and the principle applies ten-fold to marinas: proximity to major inlets, service yards and popular waterfront destinations are crucial to offering the convenience and accommodations yacht owners value and expect.

Safe Harbor Old Port Cove, the site of Bluewater’s South Florida office, is situated in the heart of the region’s boating community and provides convenient access to a comprehensive selection of local businesses and attractions. Bluewater Yacht Sales is fortunate to have a sales office on-site and be able to leverage the five-star amenities, state-of-the-art facility and professional staff.

The location is also situated near many other properties in the Safe Harbor network, including the North Palm Beach, Rybovich and New Port Cove marinas. It’s also just thirty minutes from the Harborage Yacht Club in Stuart, another popular Safe Harbor location situated in the “sailfish capital of the world.”

Sales Professional Matt Serafin anchors Bluewater’s South Florida brokerage office full-time, while many team members utilize it as they travel back and forth in alignment with their customer’s seasonal boating movements. Bluewater Sales Professional and Captain Neil Woolfolk is also based out of the South Florida office but spends much of his time captaining a large private sportfish convertible. Clark Sneed, Harvey Shiflet and many others on our Mid-Atlantic sales team regularly pop in to support customers traveling south or staging trips to and from The Bahamas and Caribbean.

Serafin explains that the Safe Harbor Old Port Cove staff have decades of experience, a friendly demeanor, and a penchant for hosting top-notch events, such as regular cooking classes, yoga, painting, and floral arrangement seminars, in addition to celebrating holidays and special occasions together. All Safe Harbor Members are welcome to join in on these activities, in addition to regular breakfasts and happy hours. Another unique membership perk is the inter-marina fishing tournament: an opportunity to officially earn bragging rights among the Safe Harbor network!

In addition to the first-class marina and boater’s lounge, Safe Harbor Old Port Cove boasts the highly acclaimed Belle’s Restaurant on site, featuring locally sourced seafood served in a New England-inspired style. Professional chefs from both the restaurant and outside companies have led many of the member cooking classes, which have included pasta, salsa and sushi making experiences.

Perfectly lending itself as a hub to stage a hop to or from The Bahamas, or as part of an East Coast intracoastal cruise, Safe Harbor Old Port Cove is a valuable and popular stop for transient vessels in addition to long-term dockage. For sales operations, Serafin explains that Bluewater’s South Florida sales office is much more than a place to list your boat. “We schedule service, perform light maintenance and check on customers’ boats all the time,” he says. It’s all part of the Bluewater team’s commitment to going above and beyond for our customers.

Next time you plan to be in the Palm Beach area, be sure to book your stay in the marina, or make an appointment with one of our sales professionals, and see for yourself why Safe Harbor Old Port Cove is truly one of the premiere marina locations in all of South Florida, and the perfect home base for our operations in the state.
