There are nearly 830,000 registered vessels, and 400,000 visiting vessels annually operating in Florida, says Seven Kings Holdings, Inc. Chairman, JC Solomon, II. We feel that the coming of this project is great news because of the estimated $42 billion dollars worth of property damage done to Florida in the 2004 hurricanes, including damage to many of the marinas and docks in South Florida. Loggerhead Club & MarinaRiviera Beach is of importance as one of the first completely new marina and boat storage facilities to be underway for the public since the impact of the four hurricanes hitting Florida in 2004.
The Marine Industry Association reports that the positive fiscal impact of Florida's recreational boating industry is twice as great as the citrus industry, with a total economic output of seven billion dollars more than the citrus industry.
