The construction project includes two phases, and it is expected to be fully completed in August 2026. Most of Phase 1 of the project has been completed, which included the demolition and rebuilding of the west side of the marina. Tourism boating operations are now in their new slips along Coronado Drive. The fishing fleet and dinner boats are currently in temporary locations, but continue to be fully operational and accessible along the floating docks. The new fuel dock is not operational at this time.

Clearwater Beach Parking

The construction project has decreased the amount of parking available in the marina parking lot. Parking for marina patrons can still be found at the marina parking lot as well as other parking lots and garages located on Clearwater Beach. A temporary parking lot has been added along the Memorial Causeway for construction crews and marina employees.
