First phase of Tarpon Point Marina dock system in Cape Coral complete

Fort Myers-based Golden Marine Systems has completed the first phase of a new dock system at Tarpon Point Marina in Cape Coral.

The project, according to a statement, marks “a major step forward in the waterfront property's hurricane-resilient redevelopment.” The project, the release adds, comes in response to the “failure of the marina’s previous concrete dock system, which proved too rigid to endure the wind and wave energy from recent storm events.” 

Company officials didn’t disclose a cost for the project in a statement. Phase two of the Tarpon Point Marina redevelopment is scheduled to begin shortly after the new year.

The new system features Golden’s 950 Series Double Track Aluminum Dock System, topped with brick paver decking — a “combination that offers both stability and standout aesthetics,” the company says. The brick paver decking adds substantial mass for improved stability, while enhancing the overall appearance of the marina.

“We’re proud to complete Phase One of this important project,” Golden Marine Systems Michael Shanley says in the statement. “This design reflects the perfect balance between performance and presentation. With hurricane resilience and high-end finishes, the new docks set a new standard for coastal marina infrastructure.”

Golden Marine Systems builds high-performance floating docks, gangways and accessories that are built, it says. “to withstand the harshest coastal environments.”
