Golden Marine Systems helping restore Salty Sam’s Marina on Fort Myers Beach

By Staff | Sep 6, 2024

Golden Marine Systems, in conjunction with Gorman Marine Construction, is making significant progress in the restoration of Salty Sam’s Marina on Fort Myers Beach, following the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. The hurricane’s destructive force left the marina in ruins, but Golden Marine Systems, known for its high-quality dock systems, has been instrumental in bringing the marina back to life.

Recently, Golden Marine Systems completed the installation of the new D-Dock, featuring their innovative 850 Series dock system. The dock is equipped with Endeck Ashwood decking, known for its durability and low maintenance. The system also includes 12-inch adjustable cleats, pile guides and finger piers, all designed to provide a robust and versatile docking solution. This state-of-the-art system is built to withstand harsh marine conditions while providing a safe and user-friendly environment for boaters.

 With D-Dock now installed, work on C-Dock is underway. The ongoing efforts at Salty Sam’s Marina represent another step in the broader restoration of the marina and the Fort Myers Beach area. The project is part of a larger initiative to rebuild and enhance the region’s waterfront infrastructure, making it more resilient against future storms.

 Golden Marine Systems’ involvement in the restoration underscores its commitment to supporting communities affected by natural disasters. The work at Salty Sam’s Marina is not only about rebuilding but also about strengthening the local boating community and fostering a sense of renewal and hope in the wake of Hurricane Ian.

Mike Shanley, president of Golden Marine Systems, stated that the company is very proud to have been chosen to replace the marina and looks forward to the completion of the project, and while the marina restaurant and activities remain open during construction, the resumption of public boating activities at this landmark marina.

Golden Marine Systems is located in North Fort Myers at 17611 East St. For more information about the company and its comprehensive range of marine solutions, please visit www.goldenmarinesystems.com or call 239-337-4141
