A Boater’s Guide to Real Estate in the Upper Keys

What Boat Owners Should Look for When Buying a Home

If your lifestyle revolves around boating, the Upper Keys offer some of the best opportunities in Florida. Choosing the right waterfront home ensures you enjoy easy access and long term satisfaction.

Canal Width and Depth

Wide and deep canals make boating easier and safer. These canals also add value to your property. Tidal influence can affect access, so knowing the average depth matters when purchasing.

Bridge Clearance

Some canals have fixed bridges that limit boat height. Understanding the exact clearance can make a major difference in choosing the right home.

Ocean or Bay Access

Ocean side homes offer quick runs to offshore waters. Bay side homes provide calm access to the backcountry and some of the best sunset views in the Keys.

Final Thoughts

Selecting a boating friendly home requires an expert who knows the waterways. I help buyers match the right home with their boating lifestyle so every day feels like a getaway.
