Haul-out infrastructure
Yacht Haul-Out Facilities in Palm Beach
Lift capacity in this market ranges from a 660-ton hoist and a floating dry dock at the top end down to a compact DIY-friendly yard. Lift specifications, dockage limits and general facility capabilities are kept strictly apart below.
Safe Harbor Rybovich
4200 N Flagler Dr, West Palm Beach, FL 33407
The dominant large-yacht refit and haul-out address in the market, on the West Palm Beach side of the Intracoastal. It is both a shipyard and a substantial marina, which is precisely why the two datasets below must not be read as one.

The 80–450 ft figure is a dockage range. It describes what can berth here, and says nothing about what the hoist can lift.
The crane figures are crane figures. They are not haul-out capacity and should never be read as a lift limit.
Viking Yacht Service Center, Riviera Beach
Riviera Beach, Florida — Intracoastal opposite Peanut Island
A brand-dedicated service facility with substantial travelift capacity close to Lake Worth Inlet. Its brand focus matters commercially: it is not a general-access yard for any hull that turns up.

Cracker Boy Boat Works, Riviera Beach
1124 Avenue C, Riviera Beach, FL 33404
A working DIY-and-full-service yard near the Port of Palm Beach — the practical option at the smaller end of this market, and the kind of yard where a straightforward short survey haul is routine.

We deliberately show no tonnage for this lift. Inferring capacity from a manufacturer's model number is exactly the kind of assumption that puts a yacht in the wrong sling.
Safe Harbor North Palm Beach
1037 Marina Drive, North Palm Beach, FL 33408
Included here for a specific reason: it holds significant lifting equipment that is not haul-out capability. The distinction matters when a broker tells a buyer the marina 'has lifts'.

Four-post slip lifts hold a boat at its berth. They are not travelifts and do not put a yacht ashore on stands for an out-of-water survey inspection.
Market notes
This market splits cleanly: very large capability concentrated at one West Palm Beach shipyard, and smaller general-access capacity clustered in Riviera Beach near the inlet.
Two facilities in the area publish lifting equipment that is not haul-out equipment — cranes and slip-side four-post lifts. Neither replaces a travelift for an out-of-water survey.
Some capacity figures here come from trade press and directories rather than the yards' own sites. They are labelled third-party, and should be confirmed with the yard before a haul is booked.
