FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Phase one of The Marina at Emerald Bay opened Nov. 4 with 47 slips receiving vessels from 35 feet to 175 feet in length and up to 225 feet transient berth at the fuel dock with a controlling depth of 14 feet.

Phase two of the Marina Village will include completion of the remaining 103 slips, Dry Storage Building, Private Yacht Clubhouse, Members Exclusive Beach Club, Cabana Spa and Fitness Center with an infinity pool and Greg Norman Golf Course, which is currently ready to play.

The temporary Harbourmaster's office is outfitted with a crew lounge, billiards, restrooms, laundry facilities and shuttle service to the private beach club, pool and the Four Seasons Resort. Wahoo's Waterfront Restaurant, open to the public, is located next to the marina services building in a screen-enclosed structure while awaiting the permanent restaurant's completion in 2007.
