The newly revitalized Pier Sixty-Six has teamed up with Absolut Elyx to debut the area\u2019s first floating pickleball court, where you have the chance to show off your skills out on the marina!<\/p>\n<p>Available seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., the all-new court will float against a backdrop of the largest marina on the Eastern Seaboard.<\/p>\n<p>Locals, residents and hotel guests alike can get their game on with one-hour rentals for up to four people. Reservations include pickleball equipment and a complimentary bottled water and chilled oshibori towel per guest.<\/p>\n<p>When signing up, a waiver is required to play and guests 13 and older may participate without supervision, while 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.<\/p>\n<p>Players can also round out their experience with a stop by The Elyx Lounge at the Sotogrande Patio for some pre- or post-match cocktails alongside tasty bites.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking to pick up a new hobby or have been a champ for years and want to try something different that involves Intracoastal Waterway views, this is the perfect spot to smack some pickleballs!
