Legendary Marina and Yacht Club hosted a celebration on Oct. 13 to mark the completion of its structural framework as its opening comes closer to a reality.

The 26-acre property, which is set to open in early 2024, will include restaurants, shops, a pool and clubhouse.

Peter Bos, founder, surprised the audience by announcing that Margaritaville, the late Jimmy Buffet's restaurant chain, will be among the restaurants offered on the property.

"We are thrilled to celebrate this pivotal moment in the construction of the marina," said Rodney Chamberlain, vice president of marina development. "This project has been a true collaboration, reflecting the dedication and commitment of everyone involved. The topping off party allows us to pause and acknowledge the progress we've made as we look forward to the next stages of development."

Among the attendees was Gulf Shores Mayor Robert Craft and Mayor Pro Tempore Phillip Harris, who also took the stage to make remarks regarding the marina development.

"We're really proud about having water access in our city that we've never had before as we work to make Gulf Shores the best it can be," Craft said.
