Boating

After a brutal winter, ice-damaged docks across the Hamptons are driving demand for East End Dockwatch, a new dock oversight and repair service.

In response to the dock shortage, Olara in West Palm Beach is planning a private marina that will dock space and much more. Plus, a townhome flips for an extra $2.35M in nine months.

It’s no surprise that boating in Florida is popular. Demand for docks is at an all-time high, particularly in West Palm Beach and the folks behind Olara are responding to the demand.

A custom-built home on the Shinnecock Bay in East Quogue comes with two slips at a nearby protected marina, a plus for any mariner.

Though their numbers have dwindled, there are still boat builders on Long Island who are creating popular watercraft.
