Miami Floating Padel Court
Paddling to padel
Yntegra Group
In early December 2024, during Miami Art Week, the world’s first floating padel court was unveiled and anchored off the coast of Fisher Island.
This spectacle raises the question: What’s the point?
Padel
Padel is a game related to tennis that is widely played in the USA, Spain and South America and is also becoming increasingly popular in Europe, especially in Germany.
A special kind of padel court has now anchored in the port of Miami: the Miami Floating Padel Court.
Flagship
The planner and investor of the project is the Yntegra Group, a private investment company based in Miami. The Miami Floating Padel Court is intended to promote another investor project, namely the construction of luxury residences and resorts in the Bahamas, where the court will be anchored around 2028 following the completion of the superyacht harbor there.
Popular sport is different, but that’s not the point here. This is about “unique, unconventional experiences”, and not everyone will be able to afford them.
Figures
The Miami Floating Padel Court cost 1 million dollars to build. It is made of recycled steel from old shipyard materials.
The whole thing is more like a boat than a ship. At least it manages without an engine and battery and can be towed from one location to the next as required. The Court measures around 5 meters in width, 11 meters in length and 21 meters in height. The entire construction weighs around 84 tons.
Conclusion
The Court is now docked in the port of Miami until May 2025. Its next destinations are still unclear, but its destination port will be the island of Exuma in the Bahamas – as a luxurious additional offer.
The ball catching devices are important.
