About Marina

On behalf of the management and staff, we would like to welcome you to North Cove Marina at Brookfield Place. The marina was completely renovated in 2016 and the previous infrastructure has been replaced with new floating docks and additional amenities.

Ideally located in the heart of one of the most famous cities in the world, and in the shadow of the Freedom Tower, the marina offers more than just a place to berth your boat. Its unparalleled location is ideal for exploring New York City and taking advantage of all that this vibrant city has to offer.

The marina itself is conveniently nestled within Brookfield Place, which has been extensively refurbished and is now one of New York’s premier shopping and dining destinations offering an unbeatable retail experience.

Do not be afraid to ask if there is anything that we can do to make your stay with us more memorable. We hope you enjoy the marina and all that New York City has to offer.

Yours Sincerely,

Michael Revier – Marina General Manager

Arrival Information Details

Advanced reservations are strongly recommended at North Cove Marina at Brookfield Place. Slips are not guaranteed without a confirmed reservation. We ask that you provide advanced notice, when feasible, of your approximate arrival time so we can be fully prepared for your arrival and minimize any inconvenience to you.

Please Note: Captains and his/her assignee must check-in/check-out with the marina office for each stay unless otherwise arranged with marina management.

When feasible, we request an estimated time of arrival 24hr in advance so we can be fully prepared for your arrival and minimize any inconvenience.

Upon approach, please contact the marina office on VHF Channel 16 to obtain directions to the slip assignment. A skilled dock attendant will report to the slip to assist with docking, line handling, and connections. Once comfortably settled, we ask that you visit our marina office to check-in. The staff will answer any questions you have.

Upon departure, we request you contact the marina office 1-2 hours prior to departure to ensure all items are in order. A receipt can be provided at the marina office or emailed upon request to the email address provided at the time of check-in. If all items are in order, please hail the marina office on VHF Channel 16 if you would like assistance with disconnection and lines.

Early Check-in / Late Check-out

If a slip is occupied after 12:00 pm on the day of your scheduled departure, an additional night’s dockage will be charged to your account.

We will do our absolute best to accommodate your requests whenever possible. In most cases, if your slip is available prior to 11:00 am on the day of your arrival, or after 12:00 pm on the day of your departure, we will allow you to remain in the slip at no additional charge. Prior arrangements must be made with the marina office for early arrival or delayed departure in order to avoid unnecessary charges.

Temporary Slips

In the event an early check-in and/or late check-out is unable to be accommodated in your currently slip, we will try to accommodate by making another slip available until such time your slip is available or you are ready to depart the marina.

In the event a temporary slip is made available to you, and you do not relocate the vessel, the marina reserves the right to charge you two times (2x’s) the original daily rate for each night you occupy the temporary slip.

This is necessary as at times, the marina operates at full occupancy and failure to relocate the vessel could negatively affect other guests.

• Reservations cancelled 59-14 days prior to arrival shall receive 50% refund of initial deposit.

Inspire Giving through You – June 9, 2018

North Cove Marina at Brookfield Place worked with FoodBank2Go in order to help pack boxes of food to be distributed by FoodBank2Go trucks. Boxes were packed in the sailing school classroom allowing for crew who couldn’t commit to a day long event, but could come help pack on their lunch breaks or in between charters. Teams competed to see who could pack the most boxes. 4000 meals worth of food in 400 boxes were packed and delivered to community centers in the Bronx in one day!

Inspire Giving through You – June 10, 2017

Coalition for the homeless: camp homeward bound.

Thank you to all volunteers that participated in the “2017 Inspire Giving through You”. For 2017, North Cove Marina at Brookfield Place, Newport Yacht Club and Marina, and the IGY Corporate team in New York, worked with Camp Homeward Bound . The team was very excited to work with the counselors to prepare the camp grounds, cabins, and activities for the campers arrival!

Camp Homeward Bound is the nation’s first summer sleep-away camp designed specifically for homeless kids.The camp site is located at Harriman State Park in Upstate New York.

Every summer, Camp Homeward Bound holds three 16-day sessions with 100 campers per session. Campers range in age from seven to 15, with older kids able to return as Counselors-in-Training and Junior Counselors.

Camp seamlessly blends engaging activities that foster literacy, problem-solving and critical thinking skills with active, recreational fun like hiking, swimming, sports, dance and so much more.

Goals for this year:

• Clean-up & set up of the camp
• Organize materials & supplies
• Minor upgrades & repairs around the facility

IGY Marina staff and volunteers donated their time in helping get the camp ready for the campers. This has been a fun team building activity for staff and is also of course a very rewarding experience for all who participated.

If you were unable to attend our day of community service, but would still like to help, please feel free to donate directly to the organization. Monetary donations can be provided through the Coalition for the Homeless’ Donations Page and food and clothing donations can be sent to: 129 Fulton Street, New York, NY 10038.

North Cove Marina Rules

To make your stay with us more enjoyable, the following set of guidelines should be followed. These are merely suggested rules of etiquette and regulations to make the Marina and its facilities more enjoyable for all customers.

• Do not leave garbage on the docks or common areas to be picked up. Garbage should be bagged and tied and then properly placed in designated receptacles, or be placed in the garbage truck, not loosely scattered or abandoned.
• Oils and fuels should be disposed of properly and not in Marina trash cans. Please ask for assistance when disposing of oils, fuels, or chemicals. Your concern for the environment helps.
• Try not to introduce any effluents into the Marina lagoon. Use holding tanks if possible.
• Do not attempt to turn on your own water and electricity. Please have a dock attendant provide the service. Using pliers or screwdrivers will damage the equipment and you will be charged. It is suggested that you read meters (if applicable) along with our dock attendant to ensure accuracy.
• Anyone caught taking water from another yacht’s tap shall be responsible for the entire water cost of the metered yacht. Please use your own water.
• Keep power cords and water hoses in a neat and orderly fashion so that no one will trip in the dark or while carrying objects.
• Please wash sails on lawn areas where water outlets and drying spaces are available, or do it aboard your yacht.
• When marking anchor chains with paint, use paper or cardboard beneath your chain to keep wet paint off the docks and other customers’ shoes.
• When cleaning dinghies, make sure you rinse debris and growth off of the docks when finished.
• Lock the vessel when leaving it unattended.
• Lock your dinghies and outboard at night.
• Try to keep excessive noise down after 10:00 pm.
• Do not utilize power sanders or grinders while completing minor vessel repairs.
• Barbecue and cooking on the docks is prohibited. Barbecue and cooking should be done on board in suitable equipment and self contained. Any other way is dangerous and frowned upon. Kindly clean up after yourself when finished. Charcoal ash and debris are not to be disposed of into the lagoon.
• If bright deck lights or spot lights are to be used at night, avoid pointing them at nearby boats, especially down or into their cabins.
• Pets need to be kept on a leash or in an acceptable carrying case. Please be sure to clean up after your pets. Owners will be responsible for any damages caused by unattended pets.

YACHT JUSTINE

YACHT JULIETTE

Testimonials

I have attended several events on the Yacht Justine. The plush furnishings and careful interior layout produce an atmosphere that is both elegant and intimate. Clean, comfortable, and spacious. A truly memorable way to experience the New York harbor.

Mike Mallner

We spent the first night of our honeymoon on Yacht Justine. It was the ten year anniversary of 9/11, and the tour around lower Manhattan was sobering and reflective, but also heart-stoppingly beautiful. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate our country and one of its greatest cities, and made the first day of our marriage magic and memorable. The accommodations were also very chic and comfortable, preparing us for the five-star resorts we had booked for the rest of our honeymoon. On top of spending the night in luxurious accommodations, we got a kick out of the novelty of knowing we were on a boat. All in all, it was a cherished experience, and one we would recommend to anyone looking for a truly special night.

Rachel Darwin , Communications Manager at Taft and Partners

Justine is beautiful, outside and in; and her crew is tremendous. I have been on many leisure trips on New York waterways on all types of boats from rustic sailboats to cruise ships, and can say that the aesthetic and ethos of one's immediate surroundings greatly impacts the experience. The elegant look of Justine, and the friendly unpretentious feel of her crew has been the number one factor in my enjoyment.

Sidney Oolongo , Events Coordinator

I had the great pleasure of coming aboard Yacht Justine for a cruise on NYE. Justine is a beautiful vessel and the staff was extremely accommodating and nice. I was very impressed by how attentive the staff was and all their efforts to make sure that I enjoyed my time aboard Justine. I will definitely book another cruise in the near future. If you are looking for a classy retreat from the city in the company of an incredible staff, this is where you want to be.

YACHT CHARTERS

Q What is different about your company?

Although everything that floats in New York City is marketed as a "luxury private yacht," Zenith actually owns and operates high-end, beautifully maintained yachts. Our photos, videos, and TV clips are accurate. For ten years, Zenith has served a global elite of CEOs, celebrities, and VIPs from the highest echelons of power. We are the top of the market. We encourage you to visit and see the yachts you are interested in yourselves, and compare. Please ask any local charter agent about our reputation.

Q Who will be on the yacht with us?

All cruises will have a minimum of three crewmembers aboard to assure your safe and enjoyable cruise. A Captain will helm the yacht at all times. All of our captains bring a lifetime of experience and are happy to answer questions and share stories. Two mates will assure safe docking and while aboard will assist guests with comfort, food, and beverages. Cruises booked with a private chef, bartender, or NYC tourguide will have these in addition.

Q Justine is a huge yacht! What is up with the 12 guest limit??

It's the law! The Justine is a private yacht. Under federal regulations any private boat taking paying passengers is only allowed SIX GUESTS, or TWELVE GUESTS for much larger boats – like the Justine - generally over 80 ft long. There are no exceptions; no passenger can be a "friend" or "crewmember" other than paid staff such as your event photographer, tourguide, or wedding officiant. Children do count as passengers. Our company is fully licensed and insured to take guests in a safe and compliant manner. We have been in business over 10 years. Charterers should be VERY wary of any operator telling you to put down excess passengers as "crew" or offering a "bareboat" contract in which the guests claim to be hiring the crew and taking liability for the cruise. None of that is legal nor insured. The Juliette is a unique vessel in NYC - an actual private luxury yacht which has been upgraded to meet Coast Guard commercial standards and legal for up to 40 guests. It still offers a private yacht look and feel.

Q I represent a client who has special security and privacy concerns.

We have broad experience in handling these concerns. All of our guests are entitled to 100% privacy and discretion. We never share any guest information. Crew do not carry phones or cameras. Private and diplomatic security personnel are welcome to travel with guests. Please contact us with any specific concerns or NDA's.

Q What can I bring?

Comfortable shoes and clothing and non-spray sunscreen. Cameras, phones, chargers. We will have towels, ice, and nonalcoholic beverages for every cruise. High heels and shoes with hard black soles are not allowed. Please do not bring any pollution hazards such as confetti, glitter, or streamers; fire hazards such as sparklers. hookahs, fireworks, or sternos; messy food items such as stews, soups, curries, chicken wings, ice cream cakes, bloody mary's, etc.

Q Can we bring children?

Yes, you are welcome to bring your children - HOWEVER they must be under constant adult supervision. We highly recommend bringing your nanny.

Q Can we bring pets?

We do not permit any pets aboard, other than authorized service animals assisting guests with a disability. We love furry guests but keep in mind they get scared, confused, and seasick on yachts.

Q Is there Wi-Fi?

No, but cell phones and streaming data will work throughout all of our routes.

Q What is the music situation?

Both yachts have speakers on all decks. Stereo systems play XM/Sirius radio or guests can Bluetooth their favorite music. You can bring a DJ with their own equipment as well.

Q Do I have to remove shoes aboard?

We do allow guests to wear their shoes aboard. We recommend comfortable options such as sandals or sneakers. High heels and mens' dress shoes with hard black soles are not permitted.

Q Are any parts of the yacht off-limits?

Guests are not allowed into the engine room or other clearly-marked restricted areas. However, anyone who wants an educational tour of the engines and machinery of the yacht is welcome to request this of the captain before or after a cruise. Staterooms with attached bathrooms are available on both yachts for private conversations, changing, hair/makeup, etc.

Q Where do you sail from? Where do you go?

Our home dock is Newport a private and upscale marina in the heart of the Jersey City Waterfront. It is located directly across the Holland Tunnel from Manhattan with PATH Train and garage parking onsite. We can pickup and dropoff guests at Chelsea Piers, North Cove (World Financial District), Dyckman Marina in uptown Manahttan, Liberty State Park (Jersey City), and One15 downtown Brooklyn Marina for varying fees. We can also serve the Hudson River Valley, Long Island, Connecticut and the Hamptons. Our typical 3 cruise covers all of Manhattan's iconic skyline, including the Empire State Building, Freedom Tower, Intrepid, Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island, and a close-up at the Statue of Liberty. Full day cruises can explore the Northern Hudson Valley, Sandy Hook, or Long Island Sound. The Hamptons, Montauk, Mystic, Newport RI, and Block Island require multiday bookings.

Q Which times/dates are available or recommended?

All of our cruises are custom and yachts are available any time, any day. Holidays and weekends are generally booked early. Some guests prefer spending all day under the sun, others prefer watching the city lights from the comfort of a private yacht at night. The most popular option is to book during sunset, 6-9pm or 7-10pm to experience daylight, sunset, and a bit of NYC after dark.

Q What if the weather is bad?

If the weather is unsafe to sail, we offer a no-fee rescheduling or if no mutually agreeable date is available, full refund. If the weather is not perfect but not unsafe (i.e. rain) we do our best to accommodate all guest requests. It is our goal to provide the best experience possible and in these situations we will try to work with you and see if better times/dates are available. The yacht interior is climate controlled and we do sail in rain. The contract does not provide for no-fee rescheduling or refund for inclement weather but we try to work with everyone to come up with mutually agreeable solutions.

Q I see the same boats listed everywhere? Where should I book this?

Our pricing is standardized and you should feel comfortable booking with any authorized agent or broker, or directly. Online "Airbnb"-style booking services may levy additional fees.

Q How do we pay for a cruise?

We take deposits on credit cards to reserve dates and expect the balance to be paid online via Zelle/ACH/"E-check". We also accept wires, bitcoin, cash, and company or bank checks.

Q What discounts do you offer?

Our pricing is based upon the substantial overhead costs of maintaining and professionally staffing multimillion dollar private yachts. We cut no corners and provide luxury service. Generally speaking, we do not offer discounts. We offer an experience which is often less expensive yet vastly superior to private service at exclusive Manhattan landside venues.

Q What is a customary tip?

Tips for hardworking crew are not included unless specifically added in advance. Tipping is appreciated and customary at the end of your cruise for an amazing experience. One tip for the entire crew, recommended at 18% of total charter fee, can be handed to the Captain and will be split evenly among the crew. Cash is preferred but credit cards, Zelle, and Venmo are also accepted.

Q I am an influencer! Please give me a free cruise so I can post photos of your yacht and get you tons of business!

Thank you but pass.

Q Are we allowed to swim from the yacht?

New York Harbor and the Hudson River have fast currents and heavy boat traffic and are NOT safe for swimming. We do permit swimming from the Justine yacht only, as part of full-day or overnight cruises. We will take you to a more protected area such as Croton, Coney Island, Manhasset Bay, or Sandy Hook. There is no swimming from the Juliette yacht, or as part of any half-day cruise.

Q Can I fly my drone?

We allow guests who wish to take a drone photo or video to do so from a dock only, either before or after the cruise. Any aerial videography from a moving yacht MUST be discussed and cleared with management well in advance (not during boarding). We must discuss homepoint settings, EMF interference, and have insurance and a damage deposit on file.

Q Are there any kayaks, jetskis, etc?

We operate primarily in New York Harbor, which is not a safe place for kayaking, wakeboarding, etc. We can bring water toys upon request for overnight or fullday charters leaving the metro area. Any jetskis require coordination with a third party rental company, which requires advanced planning.

Q Can we film aboard?

You are welcome to photograph/film and share whatever you like. Commercial film and photo shoots should be aware that we do not require permits to film aboard but marinas and docks will require permits for dockside filming. Our crew can help with layouts, positioning, and recommend locations and angles. All commercial film and photoshoots are subject to a $1250/hr flat fee, 4 hour minimum, with a credit card on file for overtime. We can assist with chase boats. Staterooms are available for monitors, hair/makeup/wardrobe, etc.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Q What are your policies regarding masks and the Coronavirus?

We will fully comply with state and federal regulations which apply. Our guests are not currently required to mask and social distance aboard during the 2023 season.

Q Am I allowed to smoke on the yacht?

Smoking and Vaping is permitted on outside decks only. Ashtrays will be provided. Guests are not allowed to bring any smoking device with hot coals, such as hookahs, which present a fire hazard.

Q Are you Handicap-accessible?

No , these yachts are not ADA-compliant. All guests must ascend stairs to board and to access the top deck. However, we have hosted many guests with limited mobility, who board with the assistance of crew and family members. Please contact us with any specific concerns or requirements.

Q Will I be seasick?

New York Harbor generally is fairly calm although waves can be made by criss-crossing ferries. If you are prone to seasickness we recommend taking an over-the-counter medication such as Dramamine one hour in advance, not drinking alcohol, and spending time on outside decks. Crew cannot dispense medications.

Beautiful views, good food at the bar/ grille across the water. Literally EVERYONE says hello or greets you when you’re coming in & leaving. That’s nice. Makes it feel “homey”.

If you’re looking for a great time great relaxation and you just want to be on the water come out and have some fun and relaxation.

Fortress takes back Fort Lauderdale marina, RV park in $86M deed in lieu of foreclosure

Investors Gary Cioffi and Christopher Hein lose 20-acre property after capital improvements

The investors in a Fort Lauderdale RV park and marina surrendered the property to the lender through a deed in lieu of foreclosure valued at $85.8 million. 

Gary Cioffi and Christopher Hein handed back the keys to the 20.2-acre Yacht Haven Park & Marina at 2295 and 2323 West State Road 84 to Fortress Investment Group, according to records and real estate database Vizzda. 

In a deed in lieu of foreclosure , borrowers in trouble with debt obligations come to an agreement with lenders that avoids a foreclosure suit. The borrower hands over the keys of the property to the lender in exchange for a guarantee that the lender won’t pursue legal action or further payments.

South Florida commercial real estate thrived over the past four years due to an influx of residents and businesses, but the market has felt the sting of economic headwinds more recently. Higher interest rates, coupled with skyrocketing property insurance, have dented investors’ cash flow and made it difficult to refinance. 

Cioffi and Hein, through their Fort Lauderdale Motorcoach Resort and Yacht Club entity, bought the RV park and marina for $58.1 million in 2021, taking out an $81.7 million loan from New York-based Fortress, records show. The financing was for the purchase and renovation of Yacht Haven.  

Cioffi and Hein planned to pump over $20 million of the financing into renovations. The investors started the work, reconfiguring the RV sites to make them more spacious, and reducing the number of pads from 265 to 222. Yacht Haven also has a pool and 55 side-tie boat slips that can accommodate up to 150-foot yachts, a property brochure shows. 

Distress has manifested across South Florida property types, though most prominently in office buildings, followed by multifamily developments. This month, Bridge Investment Group sold a Sunrise office complex for $49 million , marking a 34 percent price cut from five years ago, while Nuveen Real Estate sold a 197-unit Plantation apartment complex for $49.4 million , marking a 5 percent discount from a decade ago.

Fortress Takes Control of Fort Lauderdale Yacht and RV Park in $86M Deal

By julia echikson july 19, 2024 1:46 pm.

Lender Fortress Investment Group took control of a yacht and RV park in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as part of a $85.8 million deal, property records.

Called Yacht Haven Park & Marina , the property features 4,800 lineal feet of marina dockage and 255 motorcoach sites at 2295 West State Road 84 , just west of Interstate 95. From the park, boats can travel along local waterways to where the Stranahan River spills into the Atlantic Ocean near Fort Lauderdale’s Harbordale and Port Everglades neighborhoods. 

The previous owner — Fort Lauderdale Motorcoach Resort and Yacht Club , managed by Gary Cioffi — transferred ownership of the 20-acre property through a “deed in lieu of foreclosure” transaction, according to documents filed to Broward County.

The newly recorded deed amount is just $4.1 million more than the loan that Fortress Credit Corporation provided in 2021. The mortgage came in tandem with Fort Lauderdale Motorcoach Resort and Yacht Club’s $58.1 million purchase of the complex, which was completed in 1970.  

With the loan, Cioffi planned $26 million worth of renovations. These included redesigning the pool, updating the dockage, and adding a fitness center, dog park and on-site concierge services.

During the height of the pandemic, boating surged in popularity as an easy outdoor activity for social distancing with recreational boating growing by 35 percent to $170 million in annual economic activity between 2018 and 2023, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association .

The reason for the foreclosure remains unclear. Representatives for Fort Lauderdale Motorcoach Resort and Yacht Club and Fortress Investment Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Two SoCal Golf Clubs Trade for $122M to Undisclosed Buyer

Donald, Melania, Barron Trump live at Mar-a-Lago. Where do Don Jr., Ivanka live in Florida?

Besides mar-a-lago, the trump family lives in exclusive neighborhoods like admirals cove in jupiter and indian creek village aka billionaire bunker..

Everybody seems to know Donald and Melania Trump live at Trump’s private club Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. What about the rest of the Trump family?

Long known as a New Yorker, Donald Trump announced on X , the social platform formerly known as Twitter, that he would permanently leave New York for Florida on Oct. 31, 2019: "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House, is the place I have come to love and will stay for, hopefully, another 5 years as we MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, but my family and I will be making Palm Beach, Florida, our Permanent Residence. ..."

When he was president of the United States, Donald Trump dubbed Mar-a-Lago the “Southern White House.”

From Manhattan to Mar-a-Lago, the former president, former first lady Melania Trump and their only son, Barron Trump, moved from Trump Tower to his private estate after he lost the 2020 presidential election. Soon, Donald Trump’s adult children followed suit. Here’s a roundup of where in Florida the Trump families call home.

Where do Donald Trump, Melania Trump and their son Barron Trump live?

Donald, Melania and Barron Trump have called Mar-a-Lago , which means “Sea to Lake” in Spanish, home since 2019.

In 1985, Donald Trump paid $10 million for the estate, which featured 33 bathrooms, three bomb shelters and a nine-hole golf course. Ten years later, he converted it to a private club with a spa, tennis and croquet courts, a new ballroom and beach club.

Mar-a-Lago is 17 acres. It sounds like a lot for an estate, but there's a lot going on there. The private club has 500 members. We don't know the exact size of the living quarters of Mar-a-Lago — but it is speculated to be somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet.

Will Barron Trump still live in Florida when he attends college in fall 2024?

Barron Trump spent much of his childhood at Trump Tower in Manhattan — until his father was sworn in as the 45th president in early 2017. Donald and Melania Trump permanently relocated to Florida from New York in 2019.

As of Monday, July 22, it is not known which university Barron Trump will attend , though his father said college was the next step for his youngest son during a rally July 9, 2024, in Doral. Fall 2024 classes for most universities start in late August.

Where do Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle live in Florida ?

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle purchased a $9.7 million home in Jupiter, Florida, in March 2021. The  celebrity couple live in Admirals Cove , an exclusive gated community about 20 miles north of Mar-a-Lago.

7 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms: Details about Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle's $9.7 million house in Florida

Trump Jr. (son of Donald Trump and Ivana Trump) and former Fox News host Guilfoyle, who have been a couple since 2018, own the two-story, seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom home at 492 Mariner Drive, which features a wine room, theater, elevator, chef's kitchen, guest wings, a pool and private dock.

The ultra-luxury  Admirals Cove  waterfront community has 888 homes. Features include a spa, 45 holes of golf, pickleball and tennis courts, fitness center, two clubhouses, two driving ranges and four restaurants. There's also a marina for mega-yachts and a 30-room hotel — The Inn — atop a clubhouse for guests of members.

Residents who buy a home at Admirals Cove must buy a membership in the club, which costs $195,000 to join, the Palm Beach Post reported at the time.

The move enabled Trump Jr. to spend more time with his five children from his ex-wife, Vanessa, who lives nearby in the  Jupiter Country Club .

Where do Eric Trump and Lara Trump live in Florida?

Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump and Ivana Trump, and his wife, Lara Trump, moved to Jupiter, Florida, in May 2021 from Westchester, New York. The couple bought a $3.2 million home in the gated community of Trump National Golf Club.

Donald Trump's Florida operations include Trump National, Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, and Trump National Doral in Miami-Dade County.

Both Trump sons,  Donald Trump Jr.  and  Eric Trump,  executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, work out of the Jupiter club offices, according to the company's website. Both men also live in Jupiter. Eric Trump lives in the Trump National residential community, and Donald Trump Jr. lives in the nearby  Admirals Cove enclave .

$15 million pricetag? Trump plans office complex at his Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida

Where do Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner live in Florida ?

Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner call  Billionaire Bunker home . In 2020, the couple reportedly paid $32 million for an empty waterfront lot  on the island from singer Julio Iglesias, Enrique Iglesias' father, according to  Business Insider .

The proper name for  Billionaire Bunker, a private island near Miami  Beach, Florida, is Indian Creek Village. And it's one of the most elite properties in Florida, and the world, given its residential list. The "island" is home to one of the  world's richest people, the former First Daughter  and the GOAT of football (who is not actually a billionaire), to name a few. The 300-acre island in Biscayne Bay has about 30 homes, an ultra-exclusive country club and golf course. The mansions and Indian Creek Country Club are connected to the mainland via the Surfside Bridge over Indian Creek. The area has its own law enforcement,  Indian Creek Village Police Department .

Where do Tiffany Trump and husband Michael Boulos live in Florida?

News reports show Tiffany Trump, the youngest daughter of Donald Trump and second wife Marla Maples, and her husband, billionaire Michael Boulos, have lived in Miami since Tiffany Trump graduated from Georgetown University in 2020. The couple, who were engaged on Donald Trump's last day of office, got married in November 2022 at Mar-a-Lago.
