Bahia Mar is the 15 ft basin with 220 ft of width and a 300 ft turning circle — the catalog control, recommended to 250 ft LOA. The 17th Street Causeway at 55 ft closed is the air gate, and Port Everglades is a straight shot. It is also a public marina: tariff, event calendar, and face-dock privacy are not Harbor Beach residential. If a vessel cannot sit here, it will not sit in this city. Owners who want a backyard seawall instead of a marina take one canal west and give up 3 ft of depth and 60 ft of beam room.
