Some projects take time to come to life, and the Savannah Harbor Marina is a perfect example. For over two decades, this development has been in the works, with Island Global Yachting (IGY), involved for more than six years. Now, thanks to a joint venture with Savannah Harbor Partners, this highly anticipated mixed-use development is finally taking shape.
A Complex but Rewarding Undertaking
The project was anything but simple. With Chatham County leasing the land and investing $10 million, coordination was required at every level—state, county, city, and even the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. There were many moving parts, but the opportunity to build a world-class marina just a stone’s throw from downtown Savannah was worth the effort.
This new marina is set to meet high demand, serving both locals and transient boaters. With its prime location in a thriving city, it will be a key stop for boaters looking to explore Savannah’s charm. Additionally, the marina will fill a critical gap in IGY’s network, providing another premier destination for boaters along the coast.
Meeco Sullivan: The Right Partner for the Job
The Savannah Harbor Marina project went through a competitive bid process; Meeco Sullivan emerged as the manufacturer of choice. Meeco Sullivan’s team was highly responsive and excited about the opportunity, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.
One of the project’s key priorities was keeping production local. Meeco Sullivan’s aluminum docks were manufactured in Georgia, just a few hours from Savannah Harbor. The team worked closely with all stakeholders, quickly addressing any challenges that arose. The result? A marina built with stable, durable docks—designed to withstand the demands of a busy waterway while providing the best value among all bidders.
A Bright Future for Savannah Boaters
As this project nears completion, the excitement continues to build. This Xtreme aluminum marina will not only enhance Savannah’s waterfront but also provide a much-needed docking destination in a rapidly growing area. With its unbeatable location, strong infrastructure, and commitment to quality, the Savannah Harbor Marina is set to be a game-changer for boaters and the local community alike.
