Responding to increased demand for marina and boat-storage facilities in Florida’s Hernando County, Hernando Beach Marina invested more than $2 million to expand its rack storage and improve the on-site restaurant.
The facility can now accommodate boats to 43 feet and added a forklift to decrease wait times for launching. Also, the existing storage buildings were upgraded with high-velocity fire-sprinkler systems, and all buildings were structurally improved to withstand a Category 5 hurricane.
Racks were customized to accommodate boats such as pontoons and tri-toons, which require specific bunk configurations. The ship’s store was updated and the inventory expanded. The marina also rents pontoon boats and is home to a charter-fishing fleet.
Hernando Beach Marina offers full service on Suzuki, Yamaha and Mercury and sterndrives, as well as other engines. It also offers propeller service, fiberglass repair and canvas work.
