Golden Marine Systems has successfully completed Phase One of the new dock system at Tarpon Point Marina in Cape Coral, FL marking a major step forward in the waterfront property’s hurricane-resilient redevelopment. The project 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.
Golden was selected for the project based on its proven track record of survivability in hurricane conditions. 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 previous concrete docks couldn’t flex with the wave action, and as a result, they suffered significant damage. Golden’s system offers the flexibility and strength needed to protect the marinas investment and provide peace of mind during storm season.
Golden’s aluminum-framed 950 Series provides critical flexibility under load, helping the system move with storm-driven water instead of resisting it. 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,” said Michael Shanley, President of Golden Marine Systems. “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.”
Phase Two of the Tarpon Point Marina redevelopment is scheduled to begin shortly after the new year.
