Big game sport fishing came to Palm Beach County in the early 1900's, initially in the form of small skiffs rowed from the surf. Later the first cabin cruisers arrived on the scene, as Palm Beach boat builders designed the first sport fishing boats made especially for offshore trophy fishing.

In the late 1940's a dock for the area's burgeoning charter fleet was constructed just north of the inlet. The dock was known first as Roy's Dock; then as Bills Marina, after long time owner Bill Bachstedt. Even to this day, there are still many old timers who frequent our establishment and refer to the Marina as "Bill's" as they share fish stories from the past. Old photographs of the marina in those days can be seen on the wall next to our main entrance.

In 1977, the marina was purchased by Palm Beach inventor and entrepreneur Alex Dreyfoos.

Immediately south of Bill's Marina was another large dock, originally called Bahia Mar, and later, the Sailfish Center (located where our dining room now stands). Dreyfoos acquired this business as well in 1977 and combined the two to form The Sailfish Marina & Resort.

For a quarter century, the business was under Dreyfoos ownership. During this time the Sailfish Marina & Resort became synonymous with big game sport fishing in the Palm Beaches and gained a national reputation as the "Yankee Stadium" of the sport.

In July 200, the property was sold to American Financial INC, who have been thoroughly dedicated to keeping what is now called Sailfish Marina Resort a beautiful destination for all to enjoy.

The captains, mates and the men and women who operate our charter fleet are our colleagues and, most importantly, our friends. If you take the opportunity to walk our Charter Dock (nearest the Ship's Store), you may hear some of those now famous fish stories and learn more about our history and the excitement of catching a trophy fish.

Today, Sailfish Marina Resort offers unique guest accommodations, Ship's Store, sport fishing, sailing, dockside restaurant, private catering facilities and narrated sightseeing tours via water taxi. Our crystal clear waters provide fun and entertainment for those feeding the tropical fish along the seawall.

As the closest marina to the Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet and only 45 miles from the Bahamas, Sailfish Marina Resort is a favorite docking in the Palm Beaches. Whether you are looking for a slip for the day or dockage for the year, we will welcome your boat on one of our three docks. Many boats crossing to the Bahamas use us as their jumping off place. Our docks can accommodate 94 vessels ranging in size from 25' to 110'. Each slip has full power, cable, water and telephone connections. Diesel boats can be fueled in their slips from two of the three docks.

Indulge in waterfront dining at its finest with daily features from our Executive Chef Bryan Cheney. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Sailfish Marina Restaurant, where fresh local seafood is the true star of the menu.
