The development company that holds the lease on the Bahia Mar Resort and Yachting Center — the main venue of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show — has withdrawn its application to redevelop the property.
The Bahia Mar is a full-service marina with a 50-ton Travelift, a working boatyard, and large dry storage, located on the Bayou Chico Channel.
Expect yacht captains to breathe more easily with three or four additional feet of water under their keels as they make their way up the Intracoastal Waterway to the Bahia Mar and Las Olas marinas.
