Hull Cleaning on Palm Beach Gardens's waterways
In Palm Beach Gardens our divers clean the hull in the water, where the boat is kept along the Intracoastal near the PGA Boulevard and Donald Ross bridges.
Palm Beach Gardens sits on the Intracoastal with access to both the Jupiter and Lake Worth inlets. Two marinas mark this stretch: Soverel Harbour Marina, just northwest of the PGA Boulevard bridge, and Loggerhead Marina Palm Beach Gardens, just south of the Donald Ross Bridge.
Soverel Harbour has 146 slips on fixed and floating docks, with slip sizes from 30 to 75 feet. Loggerhead occupies a harbor off the west side of the Intracoastal, about 100 yards south of Donald Ross Bridge. Its fixed docks, boat lifts and fuel dock give this part of the Gardens a second place for boats to berth and prepare for a trip through either inlet.
The PGA Boulevard and Donald Ross Road drawbridges sit near the two marinas. The federal rule gives both bridges regular openings on the hour and half-hour. PGA Boulevard is at Intracoastal mile 1012.6; Donald Ross is farther north at mile 1009.3. Those are separate crossings on a trip along the waterway, even though their regular opening times match.
FWC's map shows a year-round slow-speed shoreline buffer from the PGA Boulevard bridge south to Blue Heron Boulevard. That 300-foot buffer excludes the main marked Intracoastal channel. The map also marks slow-speed backwaters and canals off Lake Worth Creek. These are specific zones, so follow the signs on the water for the part of the route you are using.

Palm Beach Gardens questions
Which marinas are on this stretch of Palm Beach Gardens?
Soverel Harbour Marina sits northwest of the PGA Boulevard bridge. Loggerhead Marina Palm Beach Gardens is farther north, just south of Donald Ross Bridge. Both connect to the Intracoastal between Jupiter and Lake Worth inlets.
How often should a boat kept in Palm Beach Gardens have its hull cleaned?
The interval depends on the boat, where it sits and its bottom paint. Most boats we look after are cleaned every two to three weeks in summer and every three to four weeks in winter. Tell us where your boat is berthed and the condition of its bottom paint when arranging cleaning.
Is the entire Intracoastal from PGA Boulevard to Blue Heron Boulevard a slow-speed zone?
FWC's map identifies a year-round 300-foot shoreline buffer along this stretch and excludes the main marked Intracoastal channel from that buffer. Other marked zones also apply, so check the posted signs along your route.
