NEW SMYRNA HARBOUR CLUB
Full service boat slips heating up real estate market
There is a hot, new real estate devleopment heating up Florida's coastlines that has more to do with water than dry land. The steady, growing demand for private boat slips is creating a new category in the real estate market that is adding fuel to an otherwiise sluggish market and revealing a new brand of customer: the real estate investor.
Boat slips are being offered up as the new real estate hot spot, an alternative in a slow market according to a recent article in The Palm Beach Post.
As the growing demand for boat slips fuels marina sales, investors and boaters are hopping on board for permanent ownership of waterway access. At local forefront of this boom is the New Smyrna Harbour Club (NSHC), A franchise of the yacht Clubs of the Americas (YCOA) which boasts a network of luxury clubs featuring Dry Rackominiums and Wet Dockominiums for purchase with five-star concierge service.
With waterfront property and boat storage at high demand with limited commodity, NSHC brings welcome relief to the more than one million registered boaters in Florida as well as potential investors.
The scarcity of marinas and slips has them fetching top dollar in investment circles. According to state-certified general appraisers, wet and dry slips appreciated an average of 35% per year for the past eight years.
ABC Action News reported that even in the boom of 2005, premier wet slips bucked appreciation trends of traditional single family homes. As demand continues to our pace supply, NSHC ownership allows for building of equity in a rapidly dwindling resouce. In addition, owners benefit from the unparalleled amenities of a yacht club atmosphere, which features a martini/cigar lounge, waterfront cocktail bar, tiki hut barbeque, spa, fitness center, swimming pool, sauna, gourmet deli and coffee lounge.
It's this caliber of treatment that has attracted celebrities such as Mike Alstott of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who is a YCOA slip owner and member. "YCOA makes boating easy to enjoy as every amenity I could ever imagine is right at my finger tips" says Alstott.
With increasing pressures on time many executives are looking to NSHC to take the workload out of boating. USA Today reports that boaters from inland cities spend abour $147 on fuel, food and lodging each time they drive to a waterfront city to use their boat. In addition, about three hours is wasted on the work necessary to get the boat in and out of the water.
With one call to NSHC dock master, owners can have their boat waiting dockside and stocked with the requested meals and drinks prepared specially by the resident chef. Owners can also enjoy wholesale pricing on their fuel, food and beverages and as a result members typically save up to 50 cents per gallon on gas.
NSHC ownership also entitles members to recirocal privieges at YCOA's growing network of properties in popular ports-of-call including Key West, Ft. Meyers, Sanibel, Naples, Tampa, Stuart, Ft. George (Jacksonville) and Grand Bahamas.
With so many amenities and so little time to invest, only one question remains: how many slips can I purchase?
