Loggerhead Club & Marina is a collection of branded marinas located throughout Florida. Headquartered in Jupiter, Florida, all facilities are open to the public and have wet and dry storage. Locations (from North to South): Daytona Beach, St. Petersburg, Vero beach, Stuart, Lake Okeechobee, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Riviera Beach, Lantana, South Lantana, Hollywood, Aventura and South Miami.
Loggerhead Club & Marina maintains strict adherence to Florida's environmental standards by seeking to secure the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Clean Marina status. On October 20, 2001, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Southeast District designated the Frenchman's Marina, now Loggerhead Club & Marina - Palm Beach Gardens, as a Clean Marina, the first such designation in the state of Florida.
The Clean Marina Program was developed by a partnership that includes the DEP, Marine Industries Association, the Florida Sea Grant Program, and the United States Coast Guard. All 13 Loggerhead Club & Marina branded marinas are currently designated as Clean Marina facilities.
In 2006, Loggerhead Club & Marina made a near seven-figure contribution to the Loggerhead MarineLife Center for the construction of a new 13,000-square-foot (1,200 m2) campus in Juno Beach, Florida. The Loggerhead MarineLife Center is a marine hospital and rehabilitation center whose mission is to assist in injured sea life, especially sea turtles, and educate the public about conservation of our waterways.
Loggerhead MarineLife Center is a nonprofit education and conservation facility dedicated "to promote conservation of marine life through education, research and rehabilitation, with a focus on threatened and endangered sea turtles." The facility began through the dedicated efforts of interested locals, drawing the interest and support of scientific and environmental communities and volunteers.
