Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina is a public facility maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry. The marina is managed by Golden Nugget. This Atlantic City marina has 630 floating docks and can accommodate boats up to 300 feet in length. The marina has some history behind it and saw a lot of innovations throughout the decades.
History
of Farley State Marina
The Marina was
initially constructed in the late 1950s to aid Atlantic City's resurgence of
the pleasure boat sector. It was a cooperative effort between the state and
Atlantic City and quickly rose to prominence as the East Coast's premier
marina.
When it finished
acquiring the Trump hotel-casino in 2011, Landry's, the gaming, restaurant, and
entertainment company that owns the Golden Nugget casino hotels in Nevada and
New Jersey, also received the lease for the Sen. Frank S. Farley State Marina.
The marina has been
in decay for years, with the wood docks crumbling and weeds growing. It's a
vast improvement over the late 1980s and early 1990s. But, after the
acquisition, it became one of the best places to visit in Atlantic City.
