Derecktor Shipyards is in the process of making a large repair yard for megayachts at the Fort Pierce port. The inlet there is straight and deep providing easy access. We have been watching as their gigantic travel lift has been assembled over the past month or so. Rumor has it that it is the largest in the world and is rated for vessels up to1500 tons and can haul a vessel up to a total length of 250ft. There are eight huge wheels at the base of each leg, which equals 32 total. It is so big that it took a giant crane to build it and a smaller crane to disassemble the bigger crane for transport.
We look forward to seeing how things progress and to watch the megayachts start arriving and getting worked on next season. It will be like the Palm Beach of the Treasure Coast.
