FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-Stiles Corp. picked an experienced marina-marketing expert to run its new yacht center at the Sunrise Harbor mixed-use residential community on the city’s Intracoastal Waterway.

The locally based commercial developer hired Richard Graves to operate a marina that offers 2,500 linear feet of parallel docking space that is capable of storing 22 yachts that average from 70 feet to 140 feet in length. Scheduled to partially open March 1, the marina is part of a mixed-use community that includes 355 luxury rental apartments, retail shops and guest suites.

An hotelier by profession, Richard Graves is no stranger to the Fort Lauderdale marina industry. Back in the mid-1980s, Graves worked first as director of marketing and then as senior vice president at the 300-room Bahia Mar hotel and marina in downtown Fort Lauderdale. It was during that assignment when he applied some new concepts to hotel marina operations.
