I am St. Petersburg’s Sailboat Waterfront Specialist with practical information that will benefit you in making RIGHT decisions when Buying a home on Central Florida’s Gulf Coast. My knowledge of Deep Draft Sailboat Waterfront Real Estate in our area is extensive with regard to Bridges, Tides, Winds, Seawalls, Boat Slips, local Marinas and great Anchorages. If you want to know the MLW for your draft, I’ll find out by measurement before we ever visit a home. I’m a cruising Sailor and years ago found that the Gulf Coast of Florida is the perfect place to live and enjoy all that life has to offer.

St. Petersburg and the surrounding towns in this Gulf Coast area, including Tampa Bay, gives us small town charm with big city amenities and the best cruising water in the state. I specialize in finding luxury and fixer-upper homes, condos, townhomes, villas, Waterfront Lots (a rare find) and Boat Slips for folks who want Protected, Deep Water Canals or Open Water with spectacular views, Gulf access locations with NO Fixed Bridges for you and your boat at a price that you are comfortable with. For those who prefer a non-waterfront home but still want a home for their boat, I will research the local marinas for available slips. After input from you and careful research, I show only those homes that satisfy the criteria. No Wild Goose Chases. I cover costal areas from Bradenton to Tarpon Springs with all of Pinellas County and Manatee County in between. Great deep waterfront areas are Tierra Verde, St. Pete Beach, St. Petersburg, Pass a Grill, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, and Gulfport, Cortez, Anna Marie Island among others.
