Gulf Star Marina is the world’s first “Smart Marina,” using ASAR technology provided in partnership with GCM Contracting.

By removing the traditional forklift and adding a hydraulic, diesel-free, electric-powered, automated storage and retrieval system, Gulf Star Marina can deliver a vessel from rack to water faster than any other lift system in the marine industry. The building was completed in late 2020, an indoor valet car parking service, refueling services, a ship store, open spaces, and a bait shop. Because the building was built with concrete panels, instead of metal sheeting, it can withstand 200 MPH+ wind speeds, meaning that your boat will be safe from a storm or named hurricane.
