Sarasota's oldest marina to receive a facelift

The Sarasota Yacht Center, a 1920s era, nine acre downtown marina on Whitaker Bayou is about to undergo a face lift that will include a four-level, 45 foot high storage facility for boats up to 45 feet long, a gas station, a three story 132 room hotel and a 5,500 sq. foot restaurant. Another added bonus for residents of the many new condos recently built nearby.
