It's Champagne and Roses for Florida's Latest Marina Now Open to The Public

The Loggerhead Club & Marina marina group, with nine Florida marinas and more than 2,500 slips open to the public, provides a club atmosphere, service, marina amenities and reciprocal usage of all marinas without an extra charge to belong. New South Lantana, Florida marina now open with slips available.

JUPITER, FL (PRWEB) February 17, 2006 -- Seven Kings Holdings, Inc., the premier South Florida marina development and holdings company, announces the first Loggerhead Club & Marina members at the new Loggerhead Club & Marina, South Lantana, at 401 Moorings Drive, Lantana, FL. The Loggerhead Club & Marina marina group, with nine Florida marinas and over 2,500 slips open to the public, provides a club atmosphere, service, marina amenities and reciprocal usage of all marinas without extra charges to belong.

“Loggerhead Club & Marina, South Lantana is a New Year’s gift to Florida’s boaters a brand new public access marina, never before opened. Many owners of waterfront marina properties have stopped renting slips to the public, only offering slips to condo owners, or those who can afford expensive yacht club memberships,” says Ray Graziotto, co-owner of the Loggerhead Club & Marina brand. “Loggerhead Club & Marina properties are open to everyone.”

At the recent opening launch and ribbon cutting ceremony, staff welcomed newest members, Bob and Cathy Barrett to the club. With champagne flowing and balloons waving on waterfront breezes, the honored guests gathered on the deck of their 40 foot SeaRay, the Atlantique.

"We'd like people to know that this marina is open to the public," says Raymond Graziotto, co-owner of the marina brand. "Don't be fooled by the fact that this marina sits on the waterway of one of the finest new condominiums in the South Florida area. We've got slips and we're here for everyone's boating enjoyment."

The launch party included a ribbon cutting ceremony and welcome gifts including a Welcome Aboard Loggerhead Club & Marina gift pack with benefits kit, branded club merchandise, keychain, hat, visor, insulated beverage holders, and a Loggerhead Club & Marina burgee, a special flag denoting club membership.

“We are bowled away with this spectacular brand new marina and the nicest people in the industry,” says member Bob Barrett. “We love the newness of the marina. This is truly the boating life that belongs with the Florida lifestyle – we stroll out and find our boat ready for us, assisted by smiling staff who know us by name.”

The Barrett’s have lived in Florida for 55 years, and consider themselves Floridians. With former executive careers in real estate and the hotel resort industries, the Barrett’s now enjoy Florida as their primary focus. Enjoying Intracoastal cruises with friends, exploring surrounding areas, stopping to picnic or at one of the many restaurants along the way – all are considered key activities.

“We enjoy welcoming those who lease at our marinas and giving all the benefits of a club without club prices and exclusions,” says Graziotto. “Our branded marinas are open to the public and are founded upon the highest level of service in the industry. We want to be known for friendly, attentive service, and to cement our philosophy, we’re training our people with the Dale Carnegie Institute methods based upon the famous book, How to Win Friends and Influence People.”

This is the ninth marina under the Loggerhead Club & Marina brand. With 70 wet slips, this new property brings the total to more than 2,000 slips from Miami north to Vero Beach open to the public under the brand.
