Florida’s Best Boating Condos Setting the Standard for Marina-Front Living

View Gallery

When it comes to luxury living in Florida, where the demand for water access and private boat slips far exceeds supply, developers are racing to include marinas in their condo projects. In a state where boating is a lifestyle, few amenities compare to the allure of state-of-the-art marinas. Marina-front living, often seen as the new beachfront living, offers a unique blend of convenience, luxury, and accessibility that appeals to both avid boaters and those who simply appreciate the serenity of waterfront views.

Living in front of a marina provides residents with more than just a place to dock their boats—it offers an entire lifestyle. The ability to step out of your front door and onto your boat, without the hassle of driving to a distant dock, is a major draw for those who enjoy spontaneous outings on the water. Moreover, marinas often come with additional services and amenities, such as boat maintenance, fueling stations, and even concierge services, making boating as effortless as possible.

Additionally, the proximity to water can have a calming effect, offering residents a daily escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The gentle sound of waves lapping against the hulls of boats, the sight of seabirds gliding over the water, and the ever-changing play of light on the water’s surface contribute to a tranquil and rejuvenating environment. This connection to nature, combined with the convenience of modern amenities, makes marina-front living an attractive option for those seeking a blend of luxury and lifestyle.

From the opening of Pier Sixty-Six, a $1B redevelopment project in the debuting in Yachting Capital of the World and the tranquility of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay, to the boutique elegance of Boca Beach Residences and the iconic stature of The St. Regis Residences, Miami, these are Florida’s best boating condos, setting the gold standard for waterfront living:

  • Set to debut this fall, Pier Sixty-Six sits on 32 waterfront acres along Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal Waterway and will introduce 325-room resort, one of the largest superyacht marinas on the eastern seaboard and 92 private residences starting at $3 million across two, 11-story condo buildings and two, four-story resort residence buildings. Located in the Yachting Capital of the World, the $1B redevelopment will feature a 13,500 square foot spa with the region’s first snow room, pools and 12 food + beverage offerings including the return of the rotating Pier Top Bar, which recently became a historic landmark.  This legendary destination on the Florida coast includes an intimate new collection of just 92 exquisite residences set along the eastern seaboard’s largest marina, Pier Sixty-Six Marina, home to the world’s largest boat show, Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.  As the original fuel dock for Phillips 66 Petroleum over 50 years ago.

 

  • The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay, nestled within the coastal village of Saltleaf on Estero Bay in Southwest Florida’s idyllic Bonita Springs offers homeowners and boaters unrivaled access to both world-class amenities and breathtaking natural beauty. Situated within 500 acres of lush lands and adjacent to the state’s oldest aquatic preserve—abundant with mangroves, dolphins and spectacular wildlife—the residences are steps away from the state-of-the-art Saltleaf Marina, a 72-slip facility accommodating vessels up to 30 feet in length. The marina provides direct access to Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, allowing residents to seamlessly indulge in aquatic adventures. Ritz-Carlton level of service further enhances the marina-front living experience, with The Experience Studio ready to arrange everything from fishing expeditions and kayaking outings to stocking your boat with your favorite snacks and beverages, ensuring that every excursion is tailored to perfection. Consisting of two 22-story towers and 112 distinguished condominium homes, the property sets a new standard for coastal living in Southwest Florida.
  • Located in east Boca Raton, Boca Beach Residences offers 32 exclusive flow-through residences on one of the last waterfront parcels in the city. The centerpiece of this boutique community is its private 18-slip marina, providing residents with direct access to Boca Raton’s pristine waters—a testament to the value of waterfront living, as evidenced by the project’s complete sellout before completion. Complemented by luxurious amenities like a fitness center, spa, and pool, Boca Beach Residences, developed by Integra Investments and Key International, stands as a pinnacle of refined coastal living.

 

  • Soaring 50 stories along the South Brickell corridor, The St. Regis Residences, Miami, sets a new standard for luxury living with its prime waterfront location and iconic design. The development spans three acres along Biscayne Bay, offering residents breathtaking views and seamless connectivity to Miami’s most vibrant districts.

Coupled with St. Regis’ legendary hospitality and premium amenities—including a 31st-floor sky lounge and cognac room—this project, co-developed by Integra Investments and Related Group, perfectly blends luxury and waterfront living, with an expected completion in 2027.
