The City of Jacksonville is considering an Economic Development Grant Agreement with Jax Yacht Charter, Inc. This agreement would provide a $70,000 reimbursement grant for inspections and necessary repairs to the Royal Princess vessel. These improvements are required for the vessel to meet U.S. Coast Guard inspection approvals. The work must be completed by November 30, 2026. This item is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The project involves site preparation for vessel repairs, potential structural work, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and final outfitting to meet safety standards. Contractors specializing in marine repair, vessel maintenance, and related trades may find opportunities. Early engagement could be beneficial as plans and specific requirements are still being finalized.
