[Palm Beach](https://www.townofpalmbeach.com/ "Learn more about The Palm Beaches - Opens in new tab") and its surrounding area has long been recognized as one of the most coveted spots for golfing and boating enthusiasts.

However, the soaring demand for Palm Beach living has attracted more residents than ever before. Private club communities are grappling with this surge, leading to limited housing availability and lengthy golf waitlists. Many are discovering that they don’t need to reside in Palm Beach to enjoy golf, ocean access, and a private lifestyle all in one location. As a result, an increasing number of people are looking northward to find their new home port. ![aerial of Hutchinson Island](/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/sailfish-coastal-secret-blog-061224-hutchinson-island-min.jpg)## Indulge in Tranquility on a Secluded Barrier Island Located just north of Palm Beach, Hutchinson Island is a serene barrier nestled between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. This charming locale offers a quaint small-town feel while being conveniently close to the vibrant attractions of South Florida. From sunrise to sunset, the natural beauty of mangroves and unspoiled beaches creates a haven for kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating enthusiasts. The area’s wildlife, including sea turtles, great blue herons, manatees, dolphins, and pelicans, provides a daily spectacle. Hutchinson Island also boasts a rich history to explore, captured in historic sites like the [Elliott Museum](https://hsmc-fl.com/elliott-museum/ "Discover the Museum - Opens in new tab"), [House of Refuge](https://hsmc-fl.com/house-of-refuge/ "Learn more about the house of refuge - opens in new tab"), and the [Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center](https://www.floridaocean.org/ "More details about the center - Opens in new tab"). With its rich history and picturesque environment, it is no surprise that Hutchinson Island is South Florida’s hidden gem of the Treasure Coast. ![boat in sailfish point marina](/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/sailfish-point-unique-lifestyle-blog-boating-092022-min.jpg)## The Epitome of Private Florida Living Hutchinson Island is also home to a rare private country club community that could never be replicated. Sailfish Point, situated on the island’s southernmost tip, offers 520 distinctive homes and a one-of-a-kind oceanfront, marina, and golf lifestyle.

That recognition reflects more than a single standout year. In 2024, [Stuart claimed the No. 1 spot as America’s Best Coastal Small Town](https://sailfishpoint.com/see-why-usa-today-named-this-small-town-the-best-coastal-town-in-america/ "Stuart claimed the No. 1 spot as America’s Best Coastal Small Town"), with reasons behind that recognition easy to see day-to-day. From dining at locally owned restaurants and enjoying live music along the water to exploring art galleries and attending performances at a historic theater, much of Stuart’s character comes to life in and around downtown. ![Sailfish Point Stuart Steve Martine](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2-sailfish-point-stuart-steve-martine-1.webp)*Photo Credit: Steven Martine* # Historic Downtown Stuart: Small-Town Florida on the Treasure Coast For those considering living in Stuart, Florida, [Historic Downtown Stuart](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/ "Historic Downtown Stuart") offers a window into the character of this beloved Treasure Coast community. Its main streets date to the late 1800s, when the area developed around pineapple farming and the railroad, and that Old Florida history remains visible today. More than a century later, downtown has evolved into a walkable district of locally owned restaurants, shops, galleries, cultural attractions, community events, and waterfront spaces. Sundays provide a particularly good sense of what everyday life in Downtown Stuart can look like. Market on Main brings local growers, artists, crafters, and other creators to Flagler Park each week, giving residents a year-round community market in the heart of downtown. By afternoon, Rock’n Riverwalk brings free live music to the waterfront stage. Between the two, residents can explore independent businesses, walk along the waterfront, or learn more about the community at Stuart Heritage Museum. [Dining makes it easy for an afternoon in Downtown Stuart](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/dining-shopping/ "Dining makes it easy for an afternoon in Downtown Stuart") to continue well into the evening. Located on Flagler Avenue**,** The Gafford brings a locally rooted approach to seafood, steaks and seasonal chef specials, while The Black Marlin adds a piece of history to the dining scene. Open since 1993, The Black Marlin occupies the former site of Stuart’s oldest tavern – a space that has welcomed locals and visitors since the early 1900s under names including Dirr’s Bar, Horseshoe Bar and Jerry’s Bar. Today, its fresh seafood, American fare and craft cocktails continue that long tradition of gathering downtown. Nearby, Sailor’s Return shifts the setting to the waterfront, pairing dining with views of Sunset Bay Marina and offering another way to experience Stuart’s close connection to the water. ![Sailfish Point Stuart Lyric Theatre](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/3-sailfish-point-stuart-lyric-theatre-1.webp)# Arts, History and Culture Add Another Side of Stuart Stuart’s small-town character extends into an arts and cultural scene that reaches beyond its historic downtown. Just south of Downtown Stuart, The Creek District is a designated arts and entertainment district centered around Colorado Avenue and the surrounding streets. It brings together galleries, creative businesses, public art and local events. On the first Friday of select months, the district’s First Friday Art Walks bring artists and artisans together with live music and local businesses, giving residents another way to experience Stuart’s creative community. That arts presence continues nearby at MartinArts, Martin County’s local arts agency. Based in the historic Courthouse Cultural Center, Stuart’s first courthouse, MartinArts is a nonprofit organization that presents rotating gallery exhibitions and programs and events. Each February, its annual ArtsFest expands the experience into Memorial Park, bringing together visual art, music, performances and other creative experiences for one of the area’s signature arts celebrations. For live entertainment, [The Lyric Theatre anchors the performing arts in Downtown Stuart](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/arts-entertainment/ "The Lyric Theatre anchors the performing arts in Downtown Stuart"). The historic theater hosts concerts, comedy and other performances throughout the year, adding another dimension to an evening spent dining or exploring downtown. [Stuart’s cultural attractions also extend toward Hutchinson Island.](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/hutchinson-island/ "Stuart’s cultural attractions also extend toward Hutchinson Island.") The Elliott Museum explores an eclectic mix of automobiles, baseball, inventions, art and regional history through permanent collections, exhibitions and educational programming. Lectures, workshops and special events offer additional reasons for residents to return rather than treating the museum as a one-time stop. ![Sailfish Point Stuart Fountain](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/4-sailfish-point-stuart-fountain-1.webp)# Stuart Is the “Sailfish Capital of the World” Stuart’s celebrated sportfishing reputation has shaped the city’s identity for generations and continues to influence the way people experience life throughout the area. That connection extends into private communities such as Sailfish Point, where a private marina, proximity to the St. Lucie Inlet, and direct access to surrounding waterways support a lifestyle closely tied to boating, fishing, and the water. In January 1938, Stuart News editor Ernie Lyons invited prominent sportswriters to experience the area’s fishing with the local Whiticar fleet. An extraordinary stretch of sailfish activity helped spread Stuart’s reputation throughout sportfishing circles, and the “[Sailfish Capital of the World](https://sailfishpoint.com/a-boating-fishing-guide-to-the-sailfish-capital-of-the-world/ "Sailfish Capital of the World")” identity became closely associated with the area. By 1957, Stuart had formally adopted the moniker, cementing the sailfish as an enduring symbol of the community and its relationship with the Atlantic Ocean. ![Sailfish Point Stuart Sports Fishing](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/5-sailfish-point-stuart-sports-fishing-1.webp)Today, offshore and inshore fishing remain central to Stuart’s coastal character. The surrounding waters support sailfish, marlin, tarpon, snook, redfish, grouper, and many other species. Martin County also promotes more than 800 species of fish and 100 artificial reef systems throughout the region. That fishing tradition comes to life through events that bring anglers and spectators together. The Pirate’s Cove Sailfish Classic draws competitive anglers to nearby waters and serves as the first tournament in the Treasure Coast Sailfish Championship series. Stuart’s marine culture reaches beyond fishing tournaments as well. Each winter, the Stuart Boat Show brings hundreds of boats and more than 205 marine exhibitors to the Treasure Coast. Fishing culture remains visible in tournaments, charter fleets, marinas, tackle shops, waterfront businesses, and the sailfish imagery found throughout Stuart. This heritage continues to shape the area’s identity and creates an especially [meaningful connection for those who value easy access to the water](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "meaningful connection for those who value easy access to the water") and the traditions surrounding it. ![Sailfish Point Stuart Beach](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/6-sailfish-point-stuart-beach-1.webp)# The Water Offers Something to Explore Every Day The St. Lucie River, Indian River Lagoon, and nearby Atlantic Ocean influence daily life throughout the Stuart area. Those waterways create experiences well beyond boating and fishing. At the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center on Hutchinson Island, visitors can learn about the ecosystems just beyond their doorstep through marine-life encounters, aquariums, nature trails and educational programs featuring animals such as stingrays, sea turtles, sharks and gamefish. The experience connects a day out with a deeper understanding of the environment that gives Stuart so much of its identity. The beaches of Hutchinson Island offer another easy option for an afternoon outdoors, while the St. Lucie River provides a backdrop for walking, dining and community gatherings closer to downtown. A day here can move easily from coffee and shopping to the river, from the beach to a museum, or from time offshore to dinner overlooking the water. ![Sailfish Point Stuart Marina](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/7-sailfish-point-stuart-marina-1.webp)The area’s relationship with the water also extends into the communities surrounding Stuart. Sailfish Point, located at the southern tip of Hutchinson Island, is one example of a private residential community designed around that setting. Its [private marina sits at the entrance to the St. Lucie Inlet](https://sailfishpoint.com/florida-private-marina-community/ "private marina sits at the entrance to the St. Lucie Inlet"), giving residents direct access to the inlet and nearby Atlantic waters for boating, fishing, and time on the water. # Traditions and Events Give People Reasons to Return Part of Stuart’s appeal comes from experiences that repeat weekly, seasonally and annually. Market on Main and Rock’n Riverwalk can become Sunday traditions. The Creek District’s art walks, changing exhibitions at local galleries and museums, and The Lyric’s performance calendar continually refresh what there is to do. Larger signature events add another dimension. The [Stuart Air Show brings a multi-day aviation event to Witham Field](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/arts-entertainment/ "Stuart Air Show brings a multi-day aviation event to Witham Field"), beginning with Friday evening programming and continuing through full show days on Saturday and Sunday. The event has become one of the Treasure Coast’s anticipated community gatherings and another date that can bring residents, visiting friends and family back into the city. [Fishing tournaments, the Stuart Boat Show,](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/boating-fishing/ "Fishing tournaments, the Stuart Boat Show,") ArtsFest and seasonal community programming add still more reasons to mark the calendar. That combination helps explain Stuart’s four consecutive years of national recognition. Its appeal lies as much in the details of an ordinary week as in its signature attractions: a Sunday market by the river, dinner at a favorite local restaurant, live music downtown, an afternoon by the ocean, a fishing trip, a gallery opening, or an evening performance. ![Sailfish Point Stuart Homes](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/8-sailfish-point-stuart-homes-1.webp)# Sailfish Point Brings the Stuart Lifestyle Home At the [southern tip of Hutchinson Island, Sailfish Point offers its own perspective](https://sailfishpoint.com/hutchinson-island-waterfront-homes/ "southern tip of Hutchinson Island, Sailfish Point offers its own perspective") on the qualities that have helped make Stuart one of America’s most recognized coastal small towns. The private residential community sits where the Atlantic Ocean, St. Lucie Inlet, and Indian River Lagoon converge, creating an unusual setting surrounded by water on three sides. Oceanfront estates, waterfront homes, condominiums, townhomes, and villas are complemented by a private Atlantic beach, a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and a marina positioned for direct access to the St. Lucie Inlet and open ocean. Within Sailfish Point, days can take a different course – Walking the beach in the morning, heading out from the marina, playing golf along the water, or gathering with friends at the Club. It is a private setting that remains closely connected to the broader Stuart community and the coastal lifestyle that defines this part of Florida. [Four years of national recognition may have introduced more people to Stuart](https://sailfishpoint.com/see-how-locals-make-the-most-of-summer-in-this-coastal-florida-town/ "Four years of national recognition may have introduced more people to Stuart"), but the experiences behind those rankings are what give the city its staying power. Historic downtown streets, local restaurants and arts, renowned fishing, beaches, waterways, and a strong sense of community offer reasons to keep exploring long after a first visit. For those considering making Stuart home, Sailfish Point brings those experiences close while offering a distinctive waterfront setting of its own, one shaped by the same natural surroundings that make this corner of Florida’s Treasure Coast so memorable.

For many people arriving from the Northeast, a season in Florida begins with familiar expectations: warm weather, more time outside, mornings on the golf course, and a welcome break from winter. But after a few months living on the water, they realize the experience feels very different from a typical Florida season. Along Florida’s Treasure Coast, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the St. Lucie Inlet and the Indian River Lagoon, the water becomes part of everyday life. Here is Sailfish Point, located on the southernmost tip of [Hutchinson Island](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/hutchinson-island/ "Hutchinson Island") in Stuart, Florida, where residents experience a[ lifestyle](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/boating-fishing/ " lifestyle") where golf, boating, fishing, beach walks, and private club living exist within one connected coastal environment. The private community includes approximately 520 residences ranging from waterfront condominiums to expansive oceanfront estates exceeding 16,000 square feet. Residents also enjoy access to a private beach along the Atlantic Ocean, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and a [full-service marina.](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "full-service marina.") But beyond the amenities themselves, there are certain things people only begin to appreciate after spending an entire season here – the small shifts in routine, perspective, and daily life that come from living so closely connected to the water. Read below to discover the five things that seasonal residents come to understand after spending time in this unmatched coastal area. ![Sailfish Point Boat Docks](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2-sailfish-point-boat-docks.webp)## 1. Your Mornings Start to Revolve Around the Water There’s a greater appeal to live directly along the coast rather than simply near it. One of the first things many residents notice after spending time on [Hutchinson Island](https://sailfishpoint.com/hutchinson-island-waterfront-homes/ "Waterfront Living on Hutchinson Island") is how naturally the water becomes part your morning routine. Mornings often begin outdoors before the rest of the day fully starts. Along the Atlantic shoreline, the beach is quiet except for the sound of the surf and the steady movement of the tide. Residents walk the sand as the sun rises over the ocean, while boats begin moving slowly through the St. Lucie Inlet. Unlike many seasonal destinations where the waterfront feels separate from daily routines, at Sailfish Point, the surrounding geography reinforces that connection constantly. The community is bordered by three distinct bodies of water: - The Atlantic Ocean - The St. Lucie Inlet - The Indian River Lagoon For many residents, that connection to the natural environment becomes one of the most meaningful parts of spending a season here. ![Reeling in a sailfish. ](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2-sailfish-boating-fishing-052926.webp)## 2. Boating and Fishing Become Part of the Weekly Routine Stuart has earned the nickname “Sailfish Capital of the World” because of its exceptional [offshore fishing](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "offshore fishing") and direct access to the Gulf Stream. The waters just offshore from the St. Lucie Inlet are known for sailfish, mahi, kingfish, and other sportfish species, especially during the winter season where you see anglers travel from across the country. For residents living inside a [private marina community](https://sailfishpoint.com/florida-private-marina-community/ "Private Marina Living at Sailfish Point") like Sailfish Point, getting out on the water feels remarkably easy compared to many other coastal communities. Sitting directly beside the inlet, it allows movement from the dock to open Atlantic waters within minutes. Its [marina](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "marina") includes 84 slips capable of accommodating vessels up to 100 feet in length, along with dry storage for smaller boats. For residents who enjoy offshore fishing, cruising, or day trips to the Bahamas, that level of immediate ocean access becomes a major advantage. That proximity changes boating from something that requires planning into something that feels spontaneous and natural. A calm morning offshore, a quick afternoon cruise through the Indian River Lagoon, or an early fishing trip before lunch can easily become part of the weekly routine. ![Sailfish Point Golf 14Th Hole](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/4-sailfish-point-golf-14th-hole.webp)## 3. Golf Stops Feeling Like a Scheduled Activity Florida is home to many respected private golf communities, but the experience at Sailfish Point feels noticeably different. The [Jack Nicklaus Signature course](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Jack Nicklaus Signature course") is woven into daily life in a way that feels easy and unforced. With no tee times and a smaller membership, residents often play when the mood strikes, whether it’s an early morning round before breakfast, a few holes in the late afternoon, or a casual game with neighbors after lunch at the [Clubhouse](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Clubhouse"). Ocean breezes and changing conditions along the fairways make the course play differently from one day to the next, which keeps the experience engaging even for longtime golfers. The recent multi-million-dollar renovation introduced expanded tee configurations and improved playability for a wide range of skill levels, while still preserving the character of the original design. Over time, golf at Sailfish Point stops feeling like something that needs to be planned and starts becoming part of the natural flow of the day. ![Sailfish Point Sportboat At Dusk](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/5-sailfish-point-sportboat-at-dusk.webp)## 4. You Realize Privacy and Community Can Coexist One of the things many residents notice after spending a season at Sailfish Point is how naturally relationships begin to form throughout the [community](https://sailfishpoint.com/community/ "community"). Part of that comes from its lower-density setting, creating a more familiar and relaxed atmosphere than many larger [private club communities](https://sailfishpoint.com/private-club-community-in-stuart/ "Private Club Living at Sailfish Point") in South Florida. That balance between privacy, boating access, golf, and genuine social connection is one of the reasons many residents return season after season. ## 5. You Start Looking Forward to the Smaller Moments It might be coffee on the terrace before the marina fully wakes up. Watching boats move through the St. Lucie Inlet at first light. An impromptu dinner at the Clubhouse after an afternoon on the golf course. A quiet ride through the Indian River Lagoon as the sun begins to set. By the end of the season, many residents realize the moments they remember most are rarely the ones they planned. Over time, the pace here begins to feel different from larger destinations. There is less pressure to fill the calendar and more appreciation for the simplicity of being near the water, spending time outdoors, and enjoying the company of people who return year after year. That shift is part of what makes a season at Sailfish Point stay with people long after they leave. For many residents, that feeling becomes difficult to replicate elsewhere. ![Sailfish Point Aerial View](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/6-sailfish-point-aerial-view.webp)## Discover a Season at Florida’s Premier Private Club Lifestyle From condominiums to expansive single-family homes, Sailfish Point offers [a variety of residential options](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/ "a variety of residential options") for those who want to spend their season in a private waterfront setting, with the convenience of being close to a [private aviation gateway](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/ "private aviation gateway") in nearby Stuart.

Water surrounds daily life here. It shapes the views, the breezes, the boating, the golf, the homes, and the community’s way of living. That geography is the foundation of Sailfish Point’s appeal. This is a [private coastal community](https://sailfishpoint.com/florida-private-marina-community/ "Florida Private Marina Community") where residents can walk along the Atlantic beach in the morning, leave from the private marina for the open ocean within minutes, play a [Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course") surrounded by island scenery, gather at the Clubhouse for dining and events, and return home to residences designed around the water, golf, and natural landscape. For buyers searching for a complete coastal lifestyle in Stuart, Florida, Sailfish Point brings beach, boating, golf, club life, wellness, recreation, and real estate together in one private, low-density setting. ## **A Private Coastal Community Shaped by Its Location** Sailfish Point is located in [Martin County](http://martin.fl.us/ "Martin County") on the southernmost end of [Hutchinson Island](https://sailfishpoint.com/hutchinson-island-waterfront-homes/ "Hutchinson Island Waterfront Homes with Ocean"), where the land meets the St. Lucie Inlet and opens toward the Atlantic Ocean. This end-of-island position creates a sense of privacy and separation that is unusual along Florida’s east coast. There is no through traffic beyond the community, and the surrounding water gives Sailfish Point a distinct island-like character. The community’s unique location creates multiple ways to enjoy the water. Along the eastern edge, residents have access to a private Atlantic Ocean beach. To the south, the [St. Lucie Inlet](https://www.martin.fl.us/st-lucie-inlet "St. Lucie Inlet") provides a direct connection to offshore boating and fishing. To the west, the [Indian River Lagoon](https://www.indianriver.gov/services/natural_resources/indian_river_lagoon/index.php "Indian River Lagoon") creates calmer water views and access to one of Florida’s most recognizable coastal estuary environments. Many coastal communities offer individual lifestyle amenities, but Sailfish Point brings them together in a way that feels seamless. Residents can move from the beach to the marina, from the golf course to the Clubhouse, without leaving the community or planning their day around multiple destinations. That convenience shapes everyday life. A morning walk along the Atlantic shoreline can be followed by time on the water, an afternoon round of golf, or dinner with friends at the Clubhouse. Rather than existing as separate experiences, these amenities work together to create a lifestyle that feels connected, effortless, and distinctly coastal. ![Sailfish Point Coastal Golf Course](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-sailfish-point-coastal-golf-course.webp)## **Beach, Marina, Golf, and Club Life in One Place** Sailfish Point is a private beach, marina, golf, and club community designed for residents who want coastal living to feel complete. The Atlantic beach gives residents a place for walking, swimming, shell collecting, and quiet time beside the water. Because the beach is directly connected to the private community, it remains closely tied to the residential experience. [The Sailfish Point Clubhouse](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/ "The Sailfish Point Clubhouse") serves as the social center of the community, with multiple dining venues, indoor and outdoor gathering areas, event spaces, and lounges. Dining can feel casual and coastal or more refined, depending on the occasion. Residents gather for lunches, dinners, celebrations, and member events, making the Clubhouse a consistent part of community life. The community also includes wellness facilities, racquet sports, swimming pools, walking paths, and year-round programming. Fitness classes, social gatherings, golf tournaments, boating events, holiday celebrations, and club dinners all contribute to a dynamic lifestyle without feeling overprogrammed. What distinguishes Sailfish Point is the way these amenities work together. A day can move from a beach walk to a round of golf, from the marina to dinner, or from a fitness class to an evening with neighbors. The result is a lifestyle built around ease, movement, and connection. “Many buyers begin their search focused on a particular feature, whether that’s boating, golf, or beachfront living. What often changes their perspective when they visit Sailfish Point is realizing they don’t have to choose between those priorities. The community brings those experiences together in a way that’s increasingly difficult to find.” — [Martin Conroy, Broker/Managing Partner, Sailfish Point Realty](https://sailfishpoint.com/martin-conroy/ "Martin Conroy, Broker/Managing Partner, Sailfish Point Realty") ![Sailfish Point Man Fishing Inlet](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/3-sailfish-point-man-fishing-inlet.webp)## **A Marina Lifestyle with Immediate Inlet Access** For boaters and anglers, the Sailfish Point Marina is one of the community’s defining features. Located just minutes from the St. Lucie Inlet, the full-service private marina provides direct access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, placing some of Florida’s most sought-after fishing and cruising waters within easy reach. The marina includes approximately [84 boat slips accommodating vessels up to 100 feet](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "84 boat slips accommodating vessels up to 100 feet"), along with 45 dry slips for boats up to 25 feet. For many residents, that convenience means spending less time coordinating a day on the water and more time enjoying it. The waters surrounding Stuart have long been recognized for their [year-round fishing opportunities](https://stuartbiggame.com/ "year-round fishing opportunities"). Sailfish are especially popular during the winter months, when offshore anglers target the species that [helped inspire the community’s name](https://www.stuartsailfishclub.com/ "helped inspire the community's name"). Spring and summer bring opportunities for mahi-mahi, kingfish, and wahoo offshore, while snook, tarpon, redfish, and spotted seatrout attract anglers throughout the estuary waters of the Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie River. Whether residents enjoy offshore sportfishing, inshore angling, cruising to waterfront destinations, or simply exploring the coastline by boat, the location supports a wide range of interests. That connection to the inlet is part of what makes Sailfish Point distinctive. Rather than treating boating as an occasional activity, the community is designed around immediate access to the water, allowing residents to take advantage of favorable weather, seasonal fishing runs, and spontaneous days on the boat with minimal planning. ![Sailfish Point Eighteenth Hole](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/4-sailfish-point-eighteenth-hole.webp)## **Golf, Wellness, and Recreation in a Coastal Setting** Sailfish Point’s golf experience is equally tied to the land and water around it. Designed by [Jack Nicklaus](https://www.pgatour.com/player/01869/jack-nicklaus "Jack Nicklaus"), whose 18 major championship victories remain the benchmark in professional golf, the community’s 18-hole Signature course opened in 1981 and is woven into the island landscape, with views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian River Lagoon, and the surrounding coastal environment. The course underwent a $7 million renovation that introduced new forward tees on all 18 holes and created ten playing combinations, with tee options ranging from 5,001 to 7,081 yards. The course also offers a full practice facility, professional instruction, tournament programming, and no tee times, supporting a private golf experience that can fit naturally into a resident’s day. ![Sailfish Point Recreation Coastal](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/5-sailfish-point-recreation-coastal.webp)Beyond golf, Sailfish Point supports a wide range of active pursuits. The community includes 8 HydroGrid tennis courts and 4 pickleball courts, with opportunities for clinics, private instruction, competitive play, and social matches. Fitness and wellness facilities offer modern exercise equipment, group classes, personal training, and wellness programming. Swimming pools and walking paths add to the community’s outdoor lifestyle. The setting makes these activities feel especially connected to place. Recreation at Sailfish Point does not happen in isolation from the coast. It happens amid ocean breezes, water views, native vegetation, and the relaxed atmosphere of a private barrier island community. ![Sailfish Point Southeast Dune Drive](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/6-sailfish-point-southeast-dune-drive.webp)## **Homes That Keep the Lifestyle Close** With [approximately 520 residences](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/ "approximately 520 residences"), the community is established and defined by a diverse collection of privately owned homes and condominiums. The residential experience reflects the variety of the surrounding landscape. Oceanfront estates line stretches of the Atlantic shoreline, while waterfront homes take advantage of the community’s waterways and proximity to the marina. Golf course residences offer views of fairways, greens, and lakes, placing homeowners close to one of the community’s signature recreational amenities. Many homes feature expansive outdoor living spaces, private pools, and designs that embrace South Florida’s year-round climate. Condominiums, townhomes, and villas provide additional ways to experience life within the community. Many [condominium residences](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/condominiums/ "condominium residences") are positioned near the beach and feature spacious terraces, panoramic ocean views, and convenient access to club amenities[. Townhomes and villas](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/townhomes/ ". Townhomes and villas") appeal to those seeking a lower-maintenance lifestyle while remaining close to the golf course, marina, dining venues, wellness facilities, and social spaces that bring residents together. Whether drawn to an oceanfront estate, a waterfront property, a golf course residence, or a condominium overlooking the Atlantic, homeowners can choose a setting that complements their interests while remaining connected to the beach, boating, golf, and club experiences that define the community. ## **Why a Visit Matters** The variety of residences reflects the flexibility of the Sailfish Point lifestyle. Whether homeowners are drawn to ocean views, golf course settings, waterfront access, or low-maintenance condominium living, each residence provides a different way to experience the community. Still, the full impression of Sailfish Point is best understood in person. The relationship between the marina and the inlet is clearer from the docks. The private beach feels different when reached from inside the community. The golf course reveals its coastal setting as it moves through the island landscape. The Clubhouse shows how dining, events, and member connection support the social rhythm of the community. Just as important, a visit reveals how residents experience the community beyond its amenities. Time spent at the Clubhouse, on the golf course, at the marina, or during community events highlights the connections that develop through shared interests and active participation in club life. Those experiences help illustrate what makes Sailfish Point stand out: a coastal lifestyle where recreation, social engagement, and everyday living are thoughtfully integrated within one private setting. The best way to understand what makes this coastal community unique is to experience it firsthand. Whether you’re exploring available residences or simply [learning more](https://sailfishpoint.com/faq/ "Frequently Asked Questions") about life on the southern tip of Hutchinson Island, a visit offers valuable perspective on the setting, amenities, and lifestyle.

At Sailfish Point, that distance is measured in minutes. Located at the southern tip of [Hutchinson Island in Stuart, Florida,](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/hutchinson-island/ "Hutchinson Island in Stuart, Florida,") Sailfish Point sits where the [Atlantic Ocean, St. Lucie Inlet, and Indian River Lagoon meet](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/interactive-map/ "Atlantic Ocean, St. Lucie Inlet, and Indian River Lagoon meet"). This rare coastal position gives residents a private marina with immediate inlet access, a private Atlantic beach, a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and the ease of a gated private club community designed for seasonal living. For buyers who split time between Florida and homes in the Northeast or Midwest, Sailfish Point answers a specific question: where can boating, privacy, security, beach access, golf, wellness, [dining](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/dining-experiences/ "dining"), and social life all come together in one place? ![Sailfish Point Hutchinson Island](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/2-sailfish-point-hutchinson-island.webp)## **Why Location Matters for Seasonal Boaters** Many Florida waterfront communities offer views. Fewer offer the kind of access that changes how often residents actually get on the water. Sailfish Point occupies the southernmost end of Hutchinson Island, creating an end-of-island setting with water on three sides. The Atlantic Ocean lies to the east, the St. Lucie Inlet to the south, and the Indian River Lagoon to the west. Because the community is positioned at the inlet, [boating](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/boating-fishing/ "boating") is not removed from daily life or dependent on a long ride before the real journey begins. That geography matters most to owners who plan their time around the water. A morning offshore, an afternoon cruise, or a spontaneous run toward open Atlantic waters becomes easier when the marina sits so close to the inlet. The location also gives [Sailfish Point](https://sailfishpoint.com/ "Sailfish Point") a sense of separation that many seasonal buyers value. There is no sense of passing through on the way to somewhere else. The land narrows, the water opens, and the community settles into a place defined by arrival. For buyers coming from New York, Boston, Chicago, or other northern markets, that distinction is practical as well as beautiful. Sailfish Point offers a Florida base where the marine environment is immediate, visible, and part of everyday life. ![Sailfish Point Community](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/3-sailfish-point-community.webp)## **How the Private Marina Supports Daily Boating** The Sailfish Point Marina is [a full-service private marina](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "a full-service private marina") located near the entrance to the St. Lucie Inlet. It offers approximately 84 boat slips that can accommodate vessels up to 100 feet in length, along with 45 dry slips for boats up to 25 feet. Those numbers matter because they speak to more than capacity. They show that boating is built into the fabric of the community. Residents can keep boats within Sailfish Point, access the inlet quickly, and enjoy the Atlantic Ocean seamlessly together. For [offshore boating and fishing enthusiasts,](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "offshore boating and fishing enthusiasts,") the St. Lucie Inlet is one of Sailfish Point’s most important advantages. Instead of navigating long idle zones or extended Intracoastal routes before reaching open water, residents can move from the marina toward the Atlantic within minutes. That kind of access can turn boating from an occasional plan into a regular part of the season. The marina also strengthens the community’s social connection. Boating becomes part of conversation, planning, and shared experience among neighbors who appreciate the water in similar ways. For seasonal residents, that makes the return to Florida feel more like re-entering a familiar coastal life. ![Sailfish Point Boater Seasonal](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/4-sailfish-point-boater-seasonal.webp)## **Why Sailfish Point Works for Seasonal Residents** A seasonal Florida home has to do more than look appealing in winter. It has to function well when owners are there, and it has to feel manageable when they are away. Sailfish Point’s gated setting supports privacy and security for residents who travel often or maintain multiple homes. Its established private club structure adds another layer of ease, giving seasonal owners access to recreation, dining, wellness, and social connection without leaving the community for every part of daily life. This is especially important for buyers who want boating to be central, but not singular. A boat may be the reason they start looking closely at Sailfish Point. The decision often becomes stronger when they see how many other parts of the lifestyle are already in place. The community includes a [range of residence types](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/ "range of residence types"), [including condominiums,](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/condominiums/ "including condominiums,") [townhomes,](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/townhomes/ "townhomes,") villas, golf course residences, waterfront homes, and oceanfront estates. For seasonal buyers, that variety allows different levels of maintenance, privacy, and waterfront orientation without separating the owner from the broader Sailfish Point experience. Location also plays a role. Sailfish Point is in Stuart, on Florida’s Treasure Coast, with convenient access to destinations such as Palm Beach and Jupiter while maintaining a quieter, lower-density coastal setting. For many, that balance is part of the appeal: close enough to connect, private enough to relax. ![Sailfish Point Jack Nicklaus Golf Course](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/5-sailfish-point-jack-nicklaus-golf-course.webp)## **What Supports the Lifestyle Beyond the Marina** The marina may be the most direct answer for boaters, but Sailfish Point’s larger strength is that the rest of the community supports life when residents step off the boat. The private Atlantic beach gives residents direct access to sand, surf, sunrise walks, shell collecting, swimming, and the quiet pleasure of having the ocean close to home. The [Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course") winds through the island landscape, adding another daily outlet for recreation in a setting shaped by all water views. [The Sailfish Point Club anchors the social life](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/ "The Sailfish Point Club anchors the social life") of the community with dining venues, gathering spaces, wellness facilities, and year-round programming. Tennis, pickleball, pool facilities, walking and cycling paths, fitness programming, member events, and informal gatherings all contribute to an all-in-one lifestyle shaped however you want it to be. That balance is critical for seasonal residents. When time in Florida is limited, the most valuable communities provide endless ways to enjoy the season. Residents can boat in the morning, walk the beach in the afternoon, meet friends for dinner at the club, or spend a quiet evening overlooking the water without ever having to leave their community. The atmosphere at Sailfish Point is as compelling as the lifestyle itself – private and refined, yet warm, inviting, and naturally comfortable. For buyers who have already owned significant homes and belonged to private clubs, that tone can be as meaningful as the amenities themselves. ![Sailfish Point Marina Club](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/6-sailfish-point-marina-club.webp)## **How Seasonal Buyers Should Evaluate Sailfish Point** For boaters comparing seasonal homes in Florida, the right questions go beyond whether a community has a marina: How quickly can residents reach open water? Is the marina private and integrated into the community? Does the location support offshore boating and fishing without unnecessary travel time? Is there a full lifestyle available on days when boating is not the plan? Does the community feel secure, welcoming, and easy to return to season after season? Sailfish Point is built to answer those questions through geography first. Its [position at the southern tip of Hutchinson Island,](https://sailfishpoint.com/hutchinson-island-waterfront-homes/ "position at the southern tip of Hutchinson Island,") beside the St. Lucie Inlet, gives the community a marine advantage that cannot be recreated by adding amenities elsewhere. The marina, private beach, golf course, clubhouse, wellness facilities, and social programming then build on that natural foundation. For seasonal buyers from the Northeast and Midwest, the result is a Florida home base where boating is immediate, privacy is built in, and the complete club lifestyle is evident.

This small Treasure Coast town is where scenic beauty isn’t found just along the shoreline – it’s woven into the fabric of daily life. From picturesque streetscapes to peaceful waterways, Stuart is filled with moments that invite you to pause, take in the view, and savor the setting. Here are the top photo spots Members at [Sailfish Point](https://sailfishpoint.com/ "Sailfish Point Homepage") enjoy capturing. ![Stuart Sailfish Fountain](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-fountain-min.jpg) ## 1. Sailfish Fountain Arriving in Stuart, visitors are welcomed by the Sailfish Fountain. This 19-foot-tall bronze sculpture by Geoffrey C. Smith pays tribute to the city’s title as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.” The fountain is best captured during the golden hour when soft sunlight highlights the sculpture’s incredible details. ![Stuart Florida Downtown Riverwalk](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-riverwalk-min.jpg)## 2. The Stuart Riverwalk Situated along the St. Lucie River, the Stuart Riverwalk offers one of the most picturesque waterfront strolls in Stuart. Panoramic sailboat views, charming boardwalks, and occasional dolphins make it ideal for golden-hour photos or a quiet morning walk with a camera. The Stuart Riverwalk stage is also a hub for events, including the weekly [Rock’n Riverwalk](https://www.rocknriverwalk.com/ "more about the Rock’n Riverwalk - opens in new tab") concert series. ![The Rosevelt Bridge Stuart FL](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-bridge-min.jpg)## 3. Roosevelt Bridge From the Riverwalk, you’ll also be able to see the Roosevelt Bridge. Its sweeping curves across the St. Lucie River are a highlight of the city’s skyline. The most captivating photo spot, however, is beneath the bridge near the riverbank, where reflections on the water and nighttime illumination create striking contrasts. ![Stuart FL Mural](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-downtown-mural-min.jpg)## 4. Downtown Stuart Murals and Mosaics Downtown Stuart’s impressive collection of locally crafted public art made it a notable stop on the [Florida Mural Trail](https://www.visitflorida.com/travel-ideas/articles/florida-murals-trail-statewide-tour/ "Florida Mural Trail details - opens in new tab"). Eighteen murals and mosaics scattered around the city capture the area’s rich history, from its beginnings as a pineapple farming hub to its vibrant maritime legacy. ![Stuart Florida Lyric Theatre](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-lyric-min.jpg)## 5. The Lyric Theatre Opened in 1926 as a silent movie house, the Lyric Theatre’s vintage exterior offers a striking photo opportunity. Its classic architecture and warm evening lights create an inviting scene that reflects the town’s cultural heart. After capturing the magic, be sure to explore its rich event lineup of concerts, plays, and musicals. ![St. Lucie Inlet - FLorida](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-inlet-min.jpg) ## 6. St. Lucie Inlet At the southern end of Hutchinson Island, the St. Lucie Inlet offers a dramatic meeting point between the river and the ocean. With shifting tides, rugged shorelines, and sweeping coastal views, it’s a favorite for photographers seeking raw, unfiltered beauty. Sunrise here is especially striking, as soft light highlights the natural contours of this coastal landscape. ![Aerial of Florida Hutchinson Island](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/sailfish-winter-fl-views-blog-021525-aerial-min.jpg)## 7. Sailfish Point Beach Also situated at the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island is the private club community of [Sailfish Point](https://sailfishpoint.com/ "Sailfish Point Homepage"). With a wide shoreline reserved just for Members, it’s an ideal setting for capturing the untouched elegance of Florida’s coast. Gentle waves and panoramic Atlantic views make this beach a favorite for peaceful sunrise photography and quiet moments by the sea. ![Stuart FL Johnathan Dickinson State Park](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-jonathan-dickinson-min.jpg) ## 8. Jonathan Dickinson State Park Located just south of Stuart in Hobe Sound, [Jonathan Dickinson State Park](https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/jonathan-dickinson-state-park "more about the park - opens in new tab") offers a natural escape with miles of scenic trails, waterways, and native wildlife. The highlight for photographers is the observation tower, Hobe Mountain, which rises 86 feet high. Its views of the Indian River and surrounding wilderness are ideal for capturing sunset photos in golden light. ![House of Refuge - Stuart FL](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-house-of-refuge-min.jpg)Photo Credit: Martin County Office of Tourism & Marketing ## 9. The House of Refuge For a blend of history and coastal beauty, venture just south of Stuart Beach to the House of Refuge. As Florida’s oldest surviving building on the east coast, its weathered brick façade and classic architecture stand in striking contrast to the shimmering Atlantic. The rocky shoreline also makes for a stunning spot to capture sunrise photographs. ![Florida Waterfront Golf Course sunset](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sailfish-nickalaus-course-blog-031125-sunset-min.jpg)## 10. Nicklaus Signature Golf Course The 18th hole of Sailfish Point’s [Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Learn more about the golf course") is the true showstopper. Nicknamed the “Window to the Sea,” this par 4 frames the Atlantic perfectly behind the green. With waves in the distance and sea breezes in the air, it’s a favorite spot for golfers and photographers alike. ## Sophisticated Living Just Minutes from Downtown Stuart Beyond golf, Sailfish Point elevates its lifestyle with exceptional amenities. Its private marina, one of Florida’s largest, offers 84 slips for vessels up to 125 feet, plus 45 dry slips. The 60,000-square-foot [Oceanfront Clubhouse](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/ "Discover the Oceanfront Club at Sailfish Point") is the social hub, featuring dining, a pool, seven HydroGrid tennis courts, and four pickleball courts. The Fitness Center caters to all levels with expert trainers available. For ultimate relaxation, the spa offers massages, facials, and Salt Therapy—all with serene Atlantic views. A collection of [520 homes](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/#listings-search "Start your Sailfish Home Search") provides an astounding array of living possibilities.

But for those paying closer attention, the most compelling version of that lifestyle is no longer happening at its center—it’s taking shape just up the coast. As buyers begin to look beyond the density and pace of the Palm Beaches, Florida’s Treasure Coast has emerged as a more refined alternative. Less crowded, more intentional, and deeply connected to the surrounding environment, it offers a different kind of private club experience—one that feels both elevated and unforced. At the southern tip of Hutchinson Island in Stuart, Sailfish Point sits at the center of that shift. ![Pelican floating on rippled blue water with its reflection visible below.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/sailfish-point-pelican-floating-blue-water-04012026.webp) ## A Private Club Experience in a Rare Setting What separates Sailfish Point from most private golf communities in Florida isn’t simply the course—it’s where it exists. Positioned at the end of Hutchinson Island, the community is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lucie Inlet, and the Indian River Lagoon. It’s a setting that creates a sense of complete separation, while still remaining accessible from Palm Beach and Jupiter. That geography shapes daily life in ways that go beyond traditional country club living. Light changes across the water throughout the day. Boats move in and out of the inlet. The landscape feels active, not static. “You can go anywhere in Florida and have golf, and you can go anywhere on the coast and have the ocean,” says member Louise Price. “But it’s hard to find a place where you’re surrounded on all sides by water like this.” Within the community, homes take full advantage of that positioning—ranging from oceanfront estates to golf course residences and properties overlooking the inlet or lagoon. Each offers a different perspective, but all remain connected by the same defining element: proximity to the water. ![Elevated view of a golf fairway curving around a water hazard with palm trees, bunkers, and houses.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/sailfish-point-golf-fairway-curving-around-04012026.webp) ## The Jack Nicklaus Golf Experience [Golf](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Sailfish Point Golf Club | Oceanfront Championship Golf on Hutchinson Island") has always been central to Sailfish Point, but what exists today is a refined version of its original vision. Designed by Jack Nicklaus in the early 1980s, the course was recently reimagined through a $7 million renovation led by the [Nicklaus design team](https://nicklausdesign.com/ "Nicklaus Design | World-Class Golf Course Architecture by Jack Nicklaus"). The updates preserved the character of the layout while introducing new greens, modernized bunkering, improved irrigation, and expanded tee options. The result is a course that remains challenging, but far more playable across a range of skill levels. “The course is beautiful aesthetically. It’s challenging to play, yet still very playable,” says member David Lusk. “Nicklaus really pulled off something special with the redesign.” What distinguishes the experience, however, is not just the design—but its relationship to the surrounding environment. Water is a constant presence throughout the round, with several holes opening to expansive views of the inlet and Atlantic. As an [Audubon Certified Sanctuary](https://www.auduboninternational.org/audubon-cooperative-sanctuary-program "Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program | Environmental Stewardship for Golf Courses"), the course also preserves the natural landscape in a way that feels integrated rather than imposed. ![Oceanfront golf green with white sand bunkers, palm trees, and a blue sea horizon.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/sailfish-point-oceanfront-golf-green-sand-bunkers-04012026.webp) ## A Culture Built Around the Game While many private clubs in Florida emphasize access, Sailfish Point places equal importance on how the game is experienced. One of its defining characteristics is a longstanding tradition of operating without tee times. Members can decide to play and simply walk onto the course—a rarity in today’s private club landscape. “You wake up one morning and say, ‘I want to play golf,’” says member Bob Price. “You don’t have to have a tee time. You just go play.” This approach is made possible by intentionally limited membership, ensuring the course never feels crowded. The result is a more relaxed, more personal version of golf—one that prioritizes enjoyment over structure. It’s a subtle shift, but one that significantly changes the rhythm of the experience. ![Aerial view of a marina with boats, docks, canals, waterfront homes, and the ocean beyond.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/sailfish-point-marina-coastal-homes-04012026.webp) ## Where Golf and Boating Truly Intersect What ultimately sets Sailfish Point apart is something few communities are able to offer in a meaningful way: the seamless integration of golf and boating. Here, access to the water is not secondary to the course—it’s equally central. The private [marina](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "Sailfish Point Marina | Private Deepwater Dockage & Ocean Access") sits directly along the St. Lucie Inlet, providing immediate access to the Atlantic. Residents can leave the dock and be in open water within minutes, making boating a natural extension of daily life rather than a planned activity. “We wanted a place where we could indulge both our passions, which is golf and boating,” says resident Donna Boyd. “This absolutely affords that.” It’s not uncommon for a day to begin on the course and end on the water—or the reverse. Few private golf communities in Florida offer that level of integration, and fewer still do so within such a contained, walkable setting. ## A Different Pace on Florida’s Treasure Coast The appeal of the Treasure Coast lies not only in what it offers, but in what it avoids. Less than an hour north of Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter, the transition is immediate. Traffic gives way to open roads. Development becomes less dense. The pace slows without sacrificing access to the amenities buyers expect. At Sailfish Point, that shift is reflected in everyday life—morning walks along the beach, afternoons on the course, evenings overlooking the inlet as boats pass through. Nearby, Stuart adds another layer to the experience, with waterfront dining and a more understated coastal charm that complements the community. It’s a rhythm that feels intentional, shaped as much by the environment as by the lifestyle itself. ![Aerial view of an oceanfront clubhouse with beach waves, golf course, palm trees, and inland lagoons.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/sailfish-point-oceanfront-clubhouse-04012026.webp) ## Discovering Sailfish Point For those exploring private golf club communities in Florida, Sailfish Point represents a distinct alternative to more established markets further south. It offers championship golf, immediate boating access, and a coastal setting that is difficult to replicate—all within a private, limited community. The real estate reflects that range, with a collection of oceanfront homes, golf residences, and condominiums. Resale opportunities typically begin around $2 million and extend beyond $30 million for expansive oceanfront properties. Those interested in learning more about available homes can visit [SailfishPoint.com](https://sailfishpoint.com/ "Sailfish Point | Private Oceanfront Club Community in Stuart, Florida") or contact Sailfish Point Realty at [772-225-6200](tel:+17722256200 "Contact Us") to schedule a private tour. **Categories:** news --- ### [How a Golf Icon Reshaped Florida's Oceanfront Game](https://sailfishpoint.com/how-a-golf-icon-reshaped-floridas-oceanfront-game/) **Published:** July 2, 2025 **Author:** Alexis Saez **Content:** The “Golden Bear” Jack Nicklaus, with 18 major championship wins to his name, secured his place among golf’s all-time greats. Yet, he didn’t stop at mastering the game. He set out to design it, too, with more than 425 courses bearing his signature around the world. Among his most unique is at Sailfish Point, a private club community on Florida’s Treasure Coast. First built in 1981, the [oceanfront golf course](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Learn more about the golf course") has remained untouched by any other architect. Let’s explore how it’s become inseparable from the community’s identity. ![Hutchinson Island Florida](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/sf-oceanfront-golf-blog-071425-aerial-min.jpg)## A Setting Shaped by the Florida Sea Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, Sailfish Point is one of the few courses in Florida located on a true barrier island. Jack Nicklaus and his team embraced the natural terrain of elevated dunes and sandy native areas to shape a layout that feels both challenging and organic. Water in view from nearly every hole, sea breezes and shifting conditions make playing here challenging and one-of-a-kind. ![Florida Waterfront Golf Course sunset](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sailfish-nickalaus-course-blog-031125-sunset-min.jpg)## Jack Nicklaus’ Iconic Design Philosophy Jack Nicklaus has long believed that great golf design should engage both the mind and the senses. Working with the island’s natural contours, the [Nicklaus Design team](https://nicklausdesign.com/course/sailfishpoint/ "Learn more about the design - opens in new tab") used high-flashed bunkers, native vegetation, and TifEagle Bermuda grass to enhance the course’s aesthetic. The water views become more dramatic as players make their way through the course, culminating at the 18th hole, where a panoramic ocean vista, aptly named “Window to the Sea,” offers a memorable finish. ![aerial of the golf course](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/sf-oceanfront-golf-blog-071425-golf-min.jpg)## Oceanfront Golf That Welcomes Every Swing The Sailfish Point golf course continues to reflect the vision of Jack Nicklaus nearly 45 years after its debut. While the setting remains as striking as ever, the course has evolved to meet the needs of today’s players. The [2021 redesign](https://sailfishpoint.com/see-the-multi-million-dollar-jack-nicklaus-renovation-at-this-exclusive-florida-club/ "learn more about the redesign") introduced the most significant updates to date. Led by the Nicklaus Design Team, the renovation’s key addition of five sets of tees enhanced strategy and playability. The front tees at 4,986 yards provide a more approachable round, while the back tees stretching to 7,081 yards offer a test for competitive players and PGA sectional events. ![Wildlife Sailfish Bird](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/sf-oceanfront-golf-blog-071425-bird-min.jpg)## Golf Without the Rush With no tee times and a limited membership, Sailfish Point golfers enjoy the rare freedom to head out whenever the moment feels right. This unhurried rhythm also invites golfers to take in more than just the oceanfront golf course. As a [Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary](https://www.auduboninternational.org/acsp-for-golf "learn more about Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary - opens in new tab"), the course is home to a diverse array of local wildlife and native plants. Members often spot herons, ospreys, and butterflies along the fairways, with five dedicated butterfly gardens and on-site beehives supporting vital pollinator habitats. Honey from the beehives can even be purchased at the Golf Pro Shop. ![Sailfish Point Aerial of Amenity Center](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/sf-oceanfront-golf-blog-071425-amenities-min.jpg)## A Private World of Oceanfront Amenities Beyond the course, Sailfish Point offers an array of amenities that reflect the community’s elevated, coastal lifestyle. The full-service marina—one of the largest privately owned in Florida—features 84 slips for vessels up to 125 feet, along with 45 dry slips. At the heart of it all is the 60,000-square-foot [Oceanfront Clubhouse](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/ "Learn more about the club"), home to dining venues, a resort-style pool, seven HydroGrid tennis courts, and four pickleball courts. The Fitness Center supports every level of training, with top-tier equipment and personal guidance available. For those seeking relaxation, the Spa offers massages, facials, and Salt Therapy, just steps from the Atlantic shoreline. From spacious beachfront estates and oceanfront condominiums to golf course villas and townhomes with private docks, Sailfish Point is home to a diverse range of living options.

But just north of Palm Beach, there is a version of that lifestyle shaped less by formality and more by geography—by open water, immediate ocean access, and a setting that feels distinctly apart from the more crowded patterns of South Florida. At the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island in Stuart, [Sailfish Point](https://sailfishpoint.com/ "Sailfish Point Homepage") offers a particularly clear example. Set where the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lucie Inlet, and the Indian River Lagoon converge, the community is surrounded by water on nearly every side. That rare positioning does more than create views. It shapes everyday life, from mornings along the beach to afternoons on the water and evenings at the Club. Below is a closer look at what private club living here really looks like—and why communities with this combination of oceanfront setting, inlet access, marina life, and championship golf are so difficult to replicate. ## Why does location matter so much in a private club community? In many private club communities, the setting supports the lifestyle. At Sailfish Point, the setting defines it. The community spans [532 acres](https://sailfishpoint.com/community/ "More about the community") on a narrow barrier island at the entrance to the St. Lucie Inlet. From this position, residents are able to experience three distinct waterfront environments in the course of a single day: the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the calmer waters of the Indian River Lagoon to the west, and the inlet itself to the south. It creates a kind of daily ease. A beach walk, a round of golf, lunch overlooking the ocean, and a late-afternoon boat ride are not separate excursions. They are simply part of living here. ![oceanfront dining at Sailfish point](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/sailfish-point-oceanfront-club-dining-experiences-min.jpg)## What makes Sailfish Point feel different from other private club communities? There are private golf communities. There are waterfront communities. There are clubs with marinas. What is less common is finding all of those elements together on a true island setting. The marina is positioned directly at an inlet. An oceanfront clubhouse, a private stretch of Atlantic beach, and a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course are woven through the landscape. The community’s limited residential footprint also contributes to that feeling. With [approximately 520 residences](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/#listings-search "Learn more about the listings"), Sailfish Point remains intimate enough to feel private and residential rather than sprawling. ## How does the oceanfront setting shape daily life? One of the clearest differences at Sailfish Point is that the community’s relationship to the ocean is immediate. The Club is anchored by a [60,000-square-foot Oceanfront Clubhouse](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/ "more about the oceanfront club"), positioned directly along a private mile-and-a-half stretch of beach. That changes the experience of club life in a very literal way. Dining, gatherings, wellness, and social events are not simply taking place near the water; they unfold beside it, with the Atlantic as a constant presence. The beach itself is part of daily life rather than a distant amenity. Residents can walk directly onto the sand, spend time by the water without crowds, and experience a shoreline that remains closely tied to the community’s quieter pace. Mangroves, marine life, sea turtles, and other coastal wildlife are ever-present in this protected setting. ![boat docked at sailfish point marina](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/sailfish-point-boat-at-marina-blog-062122-min.jpg)## Why is the marina such a defining part of the lifestyle? At Sailfish Point, boating is unusually easy. The [private marina](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "learn more about the marina") sits at the mouth of the St. Lucie Inlet, which means residents can move from dock to open Atlantic water within minutes. That proximity matters. In many coastal communities, getting offshore requires a longer inland route before the boating day truly begins. Here, the inlet is directly adjacent, making fishing, cruising, and spontaneous time on the water feel much more natural and immediate. The marina includes approximately 84 slips and supports vessels up to 100 feet, with additional dry storage for smaller boats. From this location, residents have direct access to offshore fishing waters, the Gulf Stream, the Intracoastal Waterway, and even the Bahamas within day range. For those who spend time on the water, that proximity naturally shapes how often and how easily they use it. ![18 holes golf course in Sailfish Point Hutchinson Island](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/18-holes-blog-20231227-social-min.jpg)## How does golf fit into life at Sailfish Point? Golf remains one of the central pillars of private club living here. [The Jack Nicklaus Signature course](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "learn more about the golf") moves through the island landscape with water visible throughout much of the round. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Indian River, and St. Lucie Inlet, the course is shaped by coastal breezes and shifting light. That sense of exposure to the landscape distinguishes it from more inland club environments. The course is also one of the earlier Nicklaus Signature designs and has been thoughtfully updated over time, with multiple tee combinations that support a range of skill levels. A no-tee-time policy contributes to a more relaxed pace of play. ## What kinds of amenities define the club experience? Private club living today extends well beyond golf. In addition to the Oceanfront Clubhouse, the community includes multiple dining venues, fitness and wellness facilities, spa services, tennis and pickleball, pools, and year-round social programming. These amenities support a lifestyle that can be active, social, or quiet depending on the day. Oceanfront dining, wellness programming, racquet sports, boating events, and seasonal gatherings all contribute to a community that encourages connection without feeling overly structured or formal. ## What types of homes are available within the community? One of the defining characteristics of Sailfish Point is the [variety of residences](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/#listings-search "learn roe about the listings") positioned across the island. The community includes oceanfront estates, waterfront homes, golf course residences, condominiums, townhomes, and villas. Some homes sit directly along the Atlantic shoreline, others face the inlet or lagoon, and others are placed along the fairways or interior waterways. That range gives buyers different ways to experience the same overall lifestyle—whether they are drawn most to boating, the beach, golf, or a lower-maintenance lock-and-leave residence. ![Golf green with sand bunkers surrounded by water and palm trees](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/private-club-living-blog032526.webp)## Why do Palm Beach-area buyers respond to a place like this? For some buyers, the appeal of Sailfish Point lies in the fact that it offers proximity to Palm Beach without mirroring it. Palm Beach, Jupiter, and other South Florida destinations remain easily accessible, but the day-to-day atmosphere here is quieter. Hutchinson Island, in particular, feels more secluded and defined by its natural setting. ## A more complete picture of private club living Private club living on Florida’s east coast can mean many things. At Sailfish Point, it is defined by a very specific combination of conditions: a true island setting, a private Atlantic beach, a marina directly adjacent to the St. Lucie Inlet, a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and a club culture that feels established, welcoming, and understated. That combination is what gives the community its distinct character. Not louder. Not busier. Simply more shaped by the water, more connected to the landscape, and more difficult to duplicate than many people expect until they see it in person.

While the Palm Beaches remain a cultural and social hub, private aviation access in the region is often shaped by seasonal airspace considerations that require additional planning during peak months. As a result, many private flyers are choosing to land north of the [Palm Beaches in Stuart](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/#stuart-florida "Stuart location"), where access remains more predictable while still offering easy proximity to everything the region has to offer. This strategic shift allows travelers to enjoy South Florida on their own terms — without sacrificing convenience, privacy, or connection. ![Aerial view of a coastal peninsula community surrounded by blue water](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sailfish-private-caostal-community-blog011526-aerial.webp)## Why Landing North of the Palm Beaches Makes Sense for Private Flyers Private aviation is built around control and flexibility. For experienced flyers, the appeal of landing north of the Palm Beaches lies in the ability to maintain that control year-round. Seasonal temporary flight restrictions tied to federal security operations in Palm Beach County are a well-known consideration within the private aviation community. While these measures are routine, they can introduce additional layers of coordination for flights arriving farther south. ## A Strategic Private Aviation Gateway in Stuart Just inland from the coast, [Witham Field (SUA) in Stuart](https://www.martin.fl.us/Airport "more about the airport - opens in new tab"), Florida plays a key role in this shift. Positioned outside the Palm Beach airspace corridor, Witham Field offers private and charter aviation access that remains reliably operational throughout the season. ![Private jet parked on a runway with boarding stairs](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sailfish-private-caostal-community-blog011526-jet.webp)Witham Field also features on-site U.S. Customs and Border Protection, allowing international travelers to clear customs locally rather than routing through larger, more congested airports. This capability supports flexible itineraries and simplifies international travel planning. ## Proximity to the Palm Beaches Without the Complications Landing north of the Palm Beaches does not mean being disconnected from them. In fact, this location offers a unique balance. ![Lighthouse on a shoreline with trees, docks, and calm water](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sailfish-private-caostal-community-blog011526-lighthouse.webp)Jupiter and the greater Palm Beach region are within easy reach, making it simple to enjoy waterfront dining, golf, cultural events, and private clubs. Residents and visitors can participate fully in the Palm Beach lifestyle — then return to a setting that feels calmer, more private, and distinctly residential. This combination of proximity and separation is a defining advantage for those who value access without constant congestion. ## A Private Coastal Community Positioned for Seamless Access Less than 15 minutes from Witham Field is a private club community located at the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island — surrounded by three bodies of water: the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the St. Lucie River. This rare geography shapes everyday life within the community. More than two-thirds of the residences enjoy water views, as does the clubhouse, reinforcing a constant connection to the surrounding environment. Residents have access to an exceptional suite of private amenities, including: - one of Florida’s largest [privately owned marinas](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "more about the marina"), with 84 slips accommodating yachts up to 100 feet - a Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course, highlighted by the signature 18th hole, Window to the Sea - a 60,000-square-foot [oceanfront clubhouse](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/ "more about the club") with dining, fitness, social spaces, and a full-service spa - seven HydroGrid tennis courts, four pickleball courts, and a comprehensive wellness and recreation program Access throughout the community is reserved exclusively for residents and their guests, reinforcing a sense of privacy that aligns with the expectations of private aviation users. aerial beach ## A Range of Residences for Seasonal Living From condominiums to expansive single-family homes, Sailfish Point offers a [variety of residential options](https://sailfishpoint.com/properties/#listings-search "Start your home search") for those who want to spend their season in a private waterfront setting — with the ease of being close to a private aviation gateway in Stuart.

In South Florida, that experience is often defined by congestion. Commercial airports, seasonal traffic, and the logistics of getting in and out of major markets can shape how frequently and how easily a property is used. For those who travel frequently or maintain multiple residences, ease of access becomes more than a convenience. It becomes a defining factor in where and how they choose to live. ## When Getting There Matters as Much as Being There Private aviation has changed expectations around travel, but not every destination supports it equally well. While Palm Beach International Airport remains a strong regional hub, it is still subject to the pressures of a high-volume market. Delays, traffic, and the distance between airport and residence can all impact the overall experience. By contrast, the Treasure Coast offers something fundamentally different. Sailfish Point is located just minutes from [Witham Field](https://www.martin.fl.us/Airport "Witham Field – Martin County Airport"), a private aviation airport in Stuart that allows for efficient arrivals and departures without the congestion typically associated with South Florida travel. The difference is not simply convenience. It changes how often residents choose to come and go, and how seamlessly travel integrates into their daily lives. ![Oceanfront pool terrace with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and palm trees overlooking the water](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sailfish-arrival-blog-040826-pool.webp) ## What Today’s Buyer Values More For today’s high-net-worth buyer, priorities have shifted in a meaningful way. Access alone is no longer the defining factor. Instead, there is a growing emphasis on how easily and seamlessly daily life unfolds. Convenience is no longer measured by proximity to a single destination, but by how much can be experienced without leaving the immediate environment. This shift is especially apparent among seasonal residents who spend winters in South Florida. As they leave for the summer, many reflect not just on where they stayed, but on how they lived while they were there. Increasingly, the question becomes whether their environment supported a more complete and effortless way of living. ![Center console boat with people cruising across open water under a bright sky.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sailfish-arrival-blog-040826-boat.webp)## A More Complete Approach to Coastal Living There are very few places that address that question directly. Sailfish Point is one of them. Positioned on the southernmost tip of [Hutchinson Island](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/hutchinson-island/ "Hutchinson Island – Sailfish Point"), the community occupies a rare geographic setting where the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lucie Inlet, and the Indian River Lagoon converge. This creates an environment surrounded by water on nearly every side, where views, access, and natural surroundings are not occasional features but constant elements of daily life. This distinction is not simply visual. It fundamentally changes how residents interact with their surroundings. ![Waterfront mansion with private dock and yacht along a coastal canal.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sailfish-arrival-blog-040826-home-aerial.webp)## Water Access That Is Immediate and Practical The community’s barrier island location provides direct access to multiple waterfront experiences. Residents can move easily between ocean, inlet, and river without leaving the community. The [private marina](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "Sailfish Point Private Marina") accommodates large vessels and offers immediate access to the Atlantic, allowing boating to become a natural extension of daily life rather than a planned excursion. ![Aerial view of coastal golf course with greens, water features, and palm trees](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sailfish-arrival-blog-040826-golf.webp) ## Golf That Is Integrated Into the Environment The [Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course – Sailfish Point") is not separate from the community. It is part of the landscape itself, with views of both ocean and river incorporated throughout play. The course has also undergone a comprehensive renovation, ensuring that it reflects modern standards while maintaining its original design intent. ## A Lifestyle That Functions as One Environment Dining, wellness, social life, and recreation are all anchored within the community. [The clubhouse](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/ "Sailfish Point Oceanfront Clubhouse"), beach, marina, and golf course are not distinct destinations requiring travel between them. They exist within a unified setting that allows residents to move through their day without interruption. It is this level of integration that creates a more complete living experience, something that is notably difficult to replicate in more densely developed markets. As Sailfish Point’s General Manager, Shane Krige, explains: “Most of our owners can live anywhere but choose to live at Sailfish Point because of the boating, golfing, tennis and five-star resort-style Clubhouse paired with a private mile and a half of beach. It’s impossible to find all of those things together anywhere on the east coast.” ## Palm Beach, Reconsidered None of this diminishes what Palm Beach offers. Its cultural significance, dining, and social scene remain highly attractive and continue to play an important role in the broader South Florida experience. However, for many residents of Sailfish Point, Palm Beach becomes something that is accessed rather than navigated daily. The proximity allows for easy access to its amenities when desired, while the living experience itself remains more private, less congested, and more cohesive. This distinction allows residents to benefit from both environments without being limited by either. ![private dock and boat at sunset along a coastal canal.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sailfish-arrival-blog-040826-aerial-yacht.webp)## What Comes Next For buyers who already understand Palm Beach, the question is no longer whether it delivers a high level of lifestyle. The question is whether it delivers a complete one. For a growing number of individuals, the answer leads them to consider environments that offer greater privacy, stronger integration of amenities, and a more seamless daily experience. Sailfish Point represents that next step. It is not positioned as an alternative to Palm Beach, but as a more complete way to experience coastal living in South Florida.

These interconnected bodies of water not only offer a plethora of excursions for boaters, but also serve as a haven for fishing enthusiasts worldwide. With one of the world’s densest populations of sailfish, Stuart, Florida, has earned its title as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.” Yet the coastal waters of this charming town offer much more than sailfish. Let’s delve into some of the area’s most prized catches and explore the favored destinations cherished by [Sailfish Point Members](/ "Click here for Sailfish Point Homepage"). ## Fishing in the Sailfish Capital of the World Anglers of all skill levels can explore a diverse range of offshore and inshore opportunities in Stuart. For those seeking a challenge, the Atlantic Ocean is a haven for sports fishermen, featuring game fish such as mackerel, sailfish, and mahi-mahi. Regular fishing tournaments, offering prizes for both young sportsmen and avid anglers, add to the excitement. The St. Lucie Inlet’s deep waters and strong currents make it ideal for catching snapper, grouper, kingfish, and tarpon. Along the Indian River Lagoon, anglers have the option to cast their line from shore, a boat, or ample fishing piers, targeting snook, tarpon, and redfish. For a more laidback experience, navigating Sailfish Flats in a boat or kayak reveals shallower estuary waters teeming with redfish, snook, tarpon, and trout. ![Aerial of Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/sailfish-point-boating-guide-blog-12624-boating-crossroads-min.jpg)## The Boating Crossroads of Florida Fishing is not the sole means of exploring these waterways. Whether heading north to Fort Pierce or south to Jupiter/Tequesta, boaters have endless options for family fun. The sandbars just inside the St. Lucie Inlet are a favored spot, where families idle up to the shore, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, or relish the Florida sunshine from the sand. If a weekend getaway is on the agenda, the Okeechobee Waterway, a protected inland passage spanning the entire state from Stuart to Fort Myers, offers an exciting adventure for families. The West End of The Bahamas is also only 55 nautical miles away, with authentic island experiences and tropical destinations waiting to be explored. ![Options of aqua sports offered at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/sailfish-point-boating-guide-blog-12624-aqua-sports-min.jpg)## Aqua Sports Galore While many residents of the Treasure Coast spend their weekends boating or fishing, a growing number have found their love for stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking. The saltwater flats between the Intracoastal Waterway and Hutchinson Island are protected by a series of spoil islands, creating a safe environment for exploring. Martin County is also home to 37.7 miles of paddling trails that span two river systems – the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie River. St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park is a favored local starting point, meandering through mangrove estuaries and maritime hammocks to provide a sightseeing adventure. ![Marina and oceanfront view at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/sailfish-point-boating-guide-blog-12624-bulkhead-marinas-min.jpg)## One of Florida’s Largest Bulkhead Marinas Whether it’s high-sea sportfishing adventures or a relaxing afternoon kayak, Members know that there are no more enviable locations to launch from than the [Sailfish Point Marina](/marina/ "Click here to learn about Sailfish Point's Marina"). The protected harbor is one of Florida’s largest privately owned, full-service marinas, with 84 water slips that can accommodate vessels up to 125 feet in length, along with an additional 45 dry slips. Sitting at the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island at the mouth of the St. Lucie Inlet, residents have direct access to a wide world of waterfront possibilities. A full team of professional staff is on hand to arrange charters, private cruises, day trips, fishing tournaments, and more. ![Couple enjoying view of Sailfish Point marina](/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/sailfish-point-boating-guide-blog-12624-yacht-club-min.jpg)## No Boat Needed for This Private Yacht Club The Sailfish Point Marina serves not only as a launch point for a diverse range of activities but also as a vibrant social hub that unites boat enthusiasts of all ages. With membership at the Sailfish Point Yacht Club requiring no boat ownership, over 50 percent of the private club community actively participates, relishing in the boundless social activities and camaraderie it offers. The calendar is brimming with events, including numerous inshore and offshore fishing tournaments, day cruises to The Bahamas, instructional seminars, sailing adventures and overnight excursions to world-class boating destinations. Beyond these, the rising popularity of paddle sports among Members has led to monthly group trips for kayaking and paddleboarding, exploring local waters or venturing to destinations like Jupiter, Fort Pierce, and beyond. ![Renovated golf courses at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/sailfish-point-boating-guide-blog-12624-waterfront-club-min.jpg)## Florida’s Premier Waterfront Club Community From an active and involved membership to its luxurious setting on the tip of Hutchinson Island, Sailfish Point is truly a one-of-a-kind community. With a wide range of amenities including tennis facilities with eight HydroGrid® courts and four pickleball courts, residents have everything they need without leaving the comfort of their homes. As the epicenter of activity, the Oceanfront Club includes dining venues, a pool, and a spa. On the [Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course](/golf/ "Click here to learn about Jack Nicklaus signature course"), lush Bermuda grass fairways and greens blend with bold, high-flashed bunkers to ultimately lead to the signature 18th hole, nicknamed the “Window to the Sea” for its breathtaking ocean view. Sailfish Point also benefits from a private helipad, along with Stuart’s Witham Field and the Palm Beach International Airport to the south for seamless transportation in and out of the area. 520 distinctive [homes](/properties/ "Click here to learn about Sailfish Point's properties") provide an astounding array of living possibilities, including spacious beachfront properties, oceanfront condos, link-side villas, and townhomes with private boat docks.

There are parts of Florida where the coastline feels continuous, and then there are places where the land begins to give way to water in a more dramatic way. On the southern end of Hutchinson Island, the terrain narrows until it reaches a point where the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lucie Inlet, and the Indian River Lagoon meet. The horizon opens in multiple directions, and the experience of being there is defined as much by movement on the water as it is by anything built on land. It is a setting that feels distinctly removed from the more familiar stretches of South Florida, and it offers a useful lens for thinking about where and how to spend time in the state. ![Stuart Florida Lyric Theatre](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sailfish-stuart-photo-blog-061025-lyric-min.jpg)## Why the Treasure Coast Is One of the Best Places to Live in Florida The Treasure Coast has long existed in the shadow of its more publicized neighbors, but that has never been a reflection of its quality. Stretching along the Atlantic through [Martin County](https://discovermartin.com/ "Learn more about Martin County on the Treasure Coast") and beyond, the region offers a coastal environment that feels more connected to the landscape and less shaped by density. In Stuart, that distinction becomes clear almost immediately. The town has built its reputation not through scale, but through character. Downtown Stuart is compact and walkable, anchored by independent restaurants, galleries, and gathering spaces that feel locally rooted rather than manufactured. An evening might begin at [The Gafford](https://thegafford.com/ "Visit The Gafford restaurant in downtown Stuart, Florida"), where the menu leans into elevated American cuisine in a setting that feels refined but never formal. A short walk leads to the Lyric Theatre, a restored historic venue that hosts concerts, performances, and touring productions throughout the year. On another night, [Riverwalk Café & Oyster Bar](https://riverwalkoysterbar.com/ "Visit Riverwalk Café and Oyster Bar in Stuart, Florida") offers a more intimate dining experience, known for its seafood and long-standing presence in the community. Cultural life extends beyond downtown. [The Elliott Museum](https://hsmc-fl.com/ "Explore The Elliott Museum on Hutchinson Island") on Hutchinson Island brings together art, history, and design, while the Court House Cultural Center, operated by [MartinArts](https://www.martinarts.org/ "Learn more about MartinArts and community programming"), rotates exhibitions and community programming. For those who spend time outdoors, nearby destinations like the St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park and Blowing Rocks Preserve offer access to protected shoreline, dunes, and coastal ecosystems that remain largely untouched. What defines the area is not a single attraction, but the way these elements come together without the congestion that often accompanies coastal living further south. It is possible to access excellent dining, cultural programming, and natural beauty without feeling as though every experience requires planning around traffic, crowds, or overdevelopment. ![Hutchinson Island Florida](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/sf-oceanfront-golf-blog-071425-aerial-min.jpg)## Why Location Matters When Choosing Where to Winter or Retire in Florida For buyers evaluating where to spend the winter season or establish a more permanent home, [geography](https://sailfishpoint.com/location/ "Explore the location of Sailfish Point on Hutchinson Island in Stuart, Florida") is taking on renewed importance. Not just proximity to the water, but how that water shapes the experience of living there. Most coastal communities are oriented around a single edge, whether oceanfront or Intracoastal. What makes the southern end of Hutchinson Island different is that the land itself begins to narrow, eventually giving way to a setting where water surrounds you from nearly every direction. At that point, the experience changes. The views shift throughout the day. The light moves differently across the horizon. The connection to boating, to the beach, and to the landscape becomes immediate rather than occasional. It is here, at the southernmost tip of the island, that Sailfish Point is located. ## Sailfish Point, A Rare Waterfront Community in Stuart Florida Sailfish Point occupies a position that is difficult to replicate anywhere along Florida’s east coast. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the St. Lucie Inlet to the south, and the Indian River Lagoon to the west, the community exists within a convergence of water that shapes nearly every aspect of life there. For residents, this is not a distant backdrop. It is visible from morning to evening, whether walking along the private stretch of beach at sunrise, watching boats move through the inlet during the day, or looking west across the river as the sun sets. Martin Conroy, who has spent years working within the Sailfish Point community, often points to this geography as the defining factor. “It’s important to differentiate ocean-view from oceanfront,” he explains. “Our location on the tip of a sandy barrier island provides several advantages. You would be hard-pressed to find another destination with five miles of beachfront, a [Jack Nicklaus Signature Course](https://sailfishpoint.com/golf/ "Learn about the Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course at Sailfish Point"), an unparalleled boating culture, and world-class racquet facilities, all within a secure and safe environment.” That combination is not easily assembled elsewhere, because it depends on the land itself as much as the amenities built upon it. ![Aerial view of golf course near water with palm trees.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sailfish-point-blog-042226-golf-course.webp)## Golf, Boating, and Beach Living in One Private Florida Community What distinguishes Sailfish Point is not simply the presence of golf, boating, and club amenities, but how seamlessly they connect. The Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course moves through the island landscape with views that extend toward both the ocean and the river. The design is integrated into its surroundings rather than set apart from them, allowing the experience of playing to feel tied to the broader environment. At the [marina](https://sailfishpoint.com/marina/ "Explore the Sailfish Point marina and its direct access to the St. Lucie Inlet"), the relationship to the water becomes even more immediate. Located directly at the St. Lucie Inlet, it allows residents to move from dock to open Atlantic waters within minutes, a rare advantage for those who value time on the water. Offshore fishing grounds, the Gulf Stream, and even the Bahamas are all within reach without the extended transit required in many other communities. [The club](https://sailfishpoint.com/oceanfront-club/ "Discover the oceanfront club amenities at Sailfish Point") itself serves as a central point for gathering, with dining venues that range from casual waterfront settings to more refined spaces. Fitness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, and a full calendar of events support an active lifestyle, but the experience never feels over-programmed. Much of life here unfolds through simple routines, time spent outdoors, and informal gatherings among neighbors. ## Why Waterfront Real Estate in Stuart Florida Continues to Hold Value In a broader Florida market that has begun to stabilize after a period of rapid growth, Sailfish Point has remained notably consistent. Transactions continue at a steady pace, and values have shown resilience that reflects the underlying appeal of the community. Buyers who arrive often recognize that the qualities driving demand are not easily duplicated. The location cannot be recreated, and the combination of privacy, water access, and integrated amenities is increasingly difficult to find in a single setting. As Conroy notes, the Treasure Coast itself has become more compelling for this reason. “In some ways, the Treasure Coast is a throwback to South Florida from decades ago,” he says. “While Stuart may not have the scale of Palm Beach, it also doesn’t have the same traffic and construction that come with it.” That balance between access and separation has become one of the region’s defining advantages. ![Guests dining in restaurant with ocean view through large windows.](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/sailfish-point-blog-042226-dining.webp)## Where to Spend the Winter in Florida for Privacy, Water Access, and Lifestyle For those considering where to spend more time in Florida, the decision often comes down to more than proximity or name recognition. It is about finding a place that continues to feel right once daily life settles in. There are communities that offer access, and others that offer prestige. Fewer offer a sense of place that holds its appeal over time. Sailfish Point is one of those places. It is shaped by its surroundings in a way that feels both rare and enduring, offering a version of Florida that remains connected to the water, to the landscape, and to a way of living that does not rely on excess to feel complete. For those considering what comes next, it is worth experiencing firsthand.

Along with the Window of the Sea only steps from shore, watching the sunset from the 14th green has resulted in many Memberships at Sailfish Point.” ![golf course hole and sandtrap at sailfish point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/sailfish-point-golf-course-blog-020923-sandtrap-min.jpg)## 40 Years of Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Since the course’s inception, internationally acclaimed golfer [Jack Nicklaus](https://www.nicklausdesign.com/ "Visit the Nicklaus Design homepage - opens in new tab") has remained the only architect for Sailfish Point’s course.

The “reimagination” led once again by Nicklaus resulted in major changes that added additional playability and strategy. Five new sets of forward tees ranging from 5,001 to 7,081 yards ensures enjoyment for players of varying ages, abilities, and ambitions. Additionally, the Practice Areas were transformed to include two driving areas on the north and south ends, including innovative Trackman technology to further assist Members in their gameplay. The course reopened to rave reviews in December 2021. “Our operations and agronomy teams work hard to maintain this course to championship standards, and the Nicklaus team’s design has truly withstood the test of time,” shared Tortorici. “Every blade of glass was replaced during the $7 million renovation by Jack Nicklaus of his course that he debuted back when a gallon of gas cost less than a dollar.” ![members playing tennis at sailfish point courts](/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/sailfish-point-golf-course-blog-020923-courts-min.jpg)## An Unmatched Florida Community Championship golf, however, is just the beginning of the innovative amenities this 532-acre waterfront community utilizes to create an unmatched Member experience.

Sailfish Point, a prestigious private community located along Florida’s Treasure Coast, has recently garnered attention as a prime real estate destination. *If the housing market over the past three years was a golf scorecard, it would read something like birdie, eagle, bogey, and double bogey. As for the remainder of 2023 and beyond, the only thing the experts tend to agree on is that we won’t be anywhere near the birdie-eagle run of 2021. We need economic experts for many things, but this prediction isn’t exactly a revelation. But hey, we’re talking golf in this space. So good news always awaits. Here are four golf real estate markets that should fare just fine, no matter how the balance of 2023 shakes out.* When golfers think of Southeast Florida, their minds typically drift to the hotbeds of Palm Beach Gardens, home of PGA National Resort and Spa, and Hobe Sound, where dozens of PGA professionals reside.

This private club community on the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island provides a dramatic golf experience from every hole as it stretches along the Atlantic Ocean. With five sets of tees ranging from 5,001 to 7,081 yards, this “island within an island” beckons residents of all skill levels to test their swing on the greens. Hear from four Members who share personal glimpses from their days on the course, providing insight into what makes this oceanfront course a hole-in-one experience like no other. ![Championship Golf sunset in florida](/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sailfish-foursome-win-blog-101723-sun-min.jpg)## Championship Golf with a Window to the Sea Sailfish Point’s greens are surrounded by almost every thinkable coastal landscape; the Atlantic Ocean provides a unique juxtaposition to the St. Lucie and the Indian Rivers for Members. Lush Bermuda grass fairways and greens blend with bold, high-flashed bunkers to ultimately lead to the signature 18th hole, nicknamed “Window to the Sea” for its view of the Atlantic Ocean. While the beautifully manicured course captures much attention on its own, Golf Director Victor Tortorici explains just exactly what it’s like from a [personal birds-eye view](/photo-gallery/ "Sailfish Photo Gallery"). “When you come up onto the 14th green, you get a beautiful view of the inlet, the Atlantic Ocean, and it’s just spectacular,” Tortorici exclaims. “Where Sailfish Point is located- on the tip of Hutchinson Island at this little point- the combined scenery and the wind create a different golf course almost every day you play it.” ![Audubon-Certified Sanctuary bird in water](/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sailfish-foursome-win-blog-101723-bird-min.jpg)## An Audubon-Certified Sanctuary for All Members For Member Nancy Zappala, it was the natural beauty that drew her to Sailfish Point. On this Audubon-certified course, there are many sights of egrets, herons, and wood storks- just to name a few. She and her husband remarked on the time they had to stop golfing and start taking pictures because there were about 200 ibis and ducks diving into the water. ![Sailfish Point Member, Nancy Zappala](/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sailfish-foursome-win-blog-101723-nancy-min.jpg)*Sailfish Point Member, Nancy Zappala* “All of the plantings around the ponds are done with native plants that will bring even more wildlife,” says Zappala. “Your experience when you’re golfing is really a part of the natural wildlife environment. It’s just so beautiful. Water, birds, fish, turtles. It was like being in one of the most incredible nature preserves you’ve ever seen.” ![aerial of the sailfish point florida golf course](/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sailfish-foursome-win-blog-101723-golf-min.jpg)## A Course That’s Ready When Members Are Sailfish Point values not only the aesthetic experiences of outdoor activities but also the accessibility and ease with which they exist for Members. No tee times mean no problems with getting out on the green whenever the mood strikes. If the ocean breeze is just right when Members get out of bed, no scheduling stress will deter friends and family from a quick putt. ![Sailfish Point Member, David Lusk](/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sailfish-foursome-win-blog-101723-david-min.jpg)*Sailfish Point Member, David Lusk* Sailfish Point Member David Lusk cannot help but admit that this is a huge perk when it comes to private golf courses. “It’s the first time I’ve been at a club that didn’t have tee times”, Lusk points out. “I’ve belonged to several golf clubs and didn’t understand what it meant at first, but I absolutely love it. We accommodate group play organized with the pro shop at the same time. Almost any Member at any time can walk up to that tee box and get on the course almost immediately. It’s managed very effectively.” ![Jack Nicklaus at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sailfish-foursome-win-blog-101723-golf-waterway-min.jpg)## Picturesque Oceanfront Playground for All Ages Golf is just the beginning of the resort-style amenities that Sailfish Point offers. Members agree that life within this 532-acre waterfront community seems like a tropical vacation that never ends. As the center of activity, the [Oceanfront Club](/oceanfront-club/ "Discover the Sailfish Oceanfront Club") includes dining venues, a pool, a spa, and seven HydroGrid tennis courts. As pickleball continues to grow in popularity, the Club in a truly innovative fashion transformed one of its tennis courts to make room for four new pickleball courts. Sailfish Point’s Marina and Yacht Club is also one of the largest privately owned marinas in Florida. It offers 84 slips that can accommodate vessels up to 125 feet in length with an additional 45 dry slips. Member Dan Dreisbach finds great enjoyment in sharing his home here at Sailfish Point with his children and grandchildren when they come to visit. “Our kids cannot wait to be here,” says Dreisbach. “My daughter just loves to come down- she will be coming to play with my wife in the nine-hole invitational.” Though they are all spread throughout the state, his family is often brought together on the course. With four full-time teaching professionals, Sailfish Point facilitates lessons not only for residents but also for their families. ## Florida’s Premier Private Oceanfront Community With a strong sense of community and an endless array of activities, it’s hard not to see why Members are calling Sailfish Point their private piece of paradise. This Florida sanctuary’s luxurious, quiet setting just off Hutchinson Island is something that cannot be replicated. Just a short drive away from historic Downtown Stuart, residents are close to a plethora of local boutiques, restaurants, and events to explore year-round. Sailfish Point also benefits from its own private helipad, along with Stuart’s Witham Field and the Palm Beach International Airport to the south.

By the time spring arrives, many find themselves wondering why the experience feels so hard to leave behind. Residents of the Treasure Coast and those at communities like [Sailfish Point](/ "Sailfish Point Homepage") understand the appeal well. Life along this stretch of coastline has a way of turning a seasonal visit into something people begin thinking about long before they return home. ## The Waterfront Lifestyle That Defines the Treasure Coast Part of the draw is the water itself. [Florida’s Treasure Coast](/location/ "Discover the location") sits along one of the most dynamic stretches of shoreline in the state, where barrier island beaches, wide estuaries, and offshore fishing waters create a setting that invites people outdoors nearly every day. Whether it’s an early morning walk along the sand, a boat ride through the Indian River Lagoon, or an afternoon spent watching the tide move through the St. Lucie Inlet, the presence of the water shapes daily life in subtle but meaningful ways. Many seasonal residents discover quickly that the experience feels different from other parts of Florida. ![large boat going deep sea fishing near hutchinson island](/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/locals-guide-to-hutchinson-island-blog-010923-boating-min.jpg)## Boating and Sportfishing in the Sailfish Capital of the World Boating is central to that lifestyle. Stuart, the coastal town just north of Hutchinson Island, is widely known as the [Sailfish Capital of the World](/a-boating-fishing-guide-to-the-sailfish-capital-of-the-world/ "More about the fishing guide"), and for good reason. Anglers regularly head offshore in search of sailfish, mahi, and other prized catches, while others prefer slower afternoons cruising the Intracoastal Waterway or exploring the calm waters of the lagoon. At Sailfish Point, a private club community on Hutchinson Island, the ability to leave the dock and reach open ocean within minutes becomes part of the appeal. The community is home to a [private marina along the St. Lucie Inlet](/marina/ "Learn more about the marina"), with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. It allows boating to feel like a natural extension of everyday life rather than something reserved for special occasions. ## Discovering the Hutchinson Island Coastal Lifestyle Hutchinson Island itself remains one of the quieter stretches of coastline in Florida. Unlike the denser areas found farther south, the island retains a relaxed character defined by open beaches, coastal vegetation, and neighborhoods that feel comfortably connected to the surrounding environment. The pace of life here often follows the tides rather than the calendar. Residents spend mornings walking the shoreline, afternoons on the water, and evenings watching the sun fall behind the Indian River. It offers a sense of calm that can be difficult to find in more crowded coastal destinations. ![Jack Nicklaus Golf Couse](/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sailfish-nickalaus-course-blog-031125-featured-min.jpg) ## Golf Along Florida’s Waterfront Landscapes Golf is another part of the lifestyle that draws visitors back year after year. Along the Treasure Coast, courses are often designed to take advantage of the surrounding landscape, weaving through waterways and along the edges of the river. The [Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course](/golf/ "Explore the golf course") at Sailfish Point is known for offering water views from nearly every hole. As players move through the course, the ocean, river, and coastal terrain remain part of the experience, reinforcing the sense that golf here is closely connected to the island environment. ![Aerial view of a coastal peninsula community surrounded by blue water](/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/sailfish-private-caostal-community-blog011526-aerial.webp)## Where Golf, Boating, and the Beach Come Together What makes the Treasure Coast especially appealing is the way these experiences intersect. In many destinations, golf, boating, and beach life exist separately, requiring residents to travel between locations to enjoy them. On Hutchinson Island, those elements often come together within the same community. Sailfish Point is a notable example, positioned at the southern tip of the island where the Atlantic Ocean, St. Lucie Inlet, and Indian River Lagoon meet. Residents can walk the beach at sunrise, play golf overlooking the water, and leave the private marina for an afternoon on the ocean, all within the same neighborhood. ## Why Many Seasonal Visitors Eventually Stay For many visitors, discovering that combination changes how they think about the area. “People often come here for a season and realize there’s a lot more to the lifestyle than they expected,” says Martin Conroy, Broker and Managing Partner at [Sailfish Point Realty](/properties/properties-all-listings/ "Start your home search"). “They may have come down for the winter, but once they experience the boating, the fishing, and the sense of community that exists here, they start thinking about how they could spend more time on the Treasure Coast.” The appeal isn’t only about recreation. Communities like Sailfish Point have developed a reputation for offering a social atmosphere that feels welcoming and relaxed. Residents gather for dinners at the club, meet neighbors for a morning round of golf, or spend quiet evenings overlooking the water. Conroy says that sense of community often leaves a lasting impression. “Many of our residents have traveled widely and owned homes in different places,” he explains. “What they often tell us is that Sailfish Point feels different because it combines a spectacular setting with a community of people who genuinely enjoy spending time together.” ![Marina and oceanfront view at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sailfish-marina-oceanfront-20231227-min.jpg)## A Lifestyle That Extends Beyond the Season As spring approaches and seasonal visitors begin preparing for their return north, it’s common to hear conversations about the places that left the strongest impression during the winter months. For many who spent time on the Treasure Coast, those memories often center on the water — mornings at the marina, afternoons along the beach, and the quiet beauty of Hutchinson Island. Those experiences are part of what keeps people returning year after year. For some, the visits eventually lead to something more permanent. Within Sailfish Point, buyers can choose from a [wide range of residential options](/properties/#listings-search "Search the homes"), including oceanfront estates, waterfront homes along the river and inlet, golf course residences, and low-rise condominiums throughout the community. Each offers its own perspective on the island environment while providing access to the private club, marina, golf course, and beaches that define life here.

Recently, however, as density increases across South Florida and West Palm Beach, attention has begun shifting north. Located less than an hour above West Palm, Stuart and Hutchinson Island are seeing increased interest from homebuyers seeking a coastal lifestyle paired with greater privacy and a less congested daily environment. ## Geographic Advantages Shape Buyer Interest What distinguishes Stuart and Hutchinson Island for many migrating buyers is as much geography as lifestyle. The region is defined by its relationship to water—the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the St. Lucie River—placing boating, fishing, and beach access at the center of daily life. Accessibility has also evolved. [Witham Field](https://www.martin.fl.us/Airport "Martin County Airport & Witham Field") (SUA), Stuart’s local airport, now offers on-site U.S. Customs and Border Protection, allowing private flyers to arrive directly without navigating congestion or periodic airspace restrictions common at larger airports to the south. At the same time, Stuart remains within easy driving distance of destinations such as West Palm Beach and Jupiter, preserving connectivity without sacrificing pace. Together, these factors have contributed to growing interest from empty nesters transitioning away from higher-density coastal markets. ![Aerial view of golf course beside waterfront lagoon](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/sailfish-point-golf-course-waterfront-02102026-300x200.webp) ## A Case Study in Water-Centric Living Situated at the southernmost tip of [Hutchinson Island](/location/ "Coastal Florida Location Guide"), Sailfish Point reflects many of the characteristics drawing attention to the area. The private residential community features direct oceanfront homes, one of Florida’s largest privately owned marinas, and a Jack Nicklaus–designed championship [golf course](/golf/ "Golf at Sailfish Point – Championship Course"), all within a gated, resident-only setting. Martin Conroy, Broker and Managing Partner at Sailfish Point Realty, says the shift has become increasingly visible. “While we’ve always worked with buyers coming from northern markets,” Conroy said, “we’re also seeing growing interest from buyers already familiar with Florida’s coastal lifestyle who are looking for more privacy and less congestion. Stuart offers that balance in a way that resonates with them.” ## Market Activity Reflects Momentum That balance is increasingly reflected in real estate activity within the community. Over the past twelve months, Sailfish Point’s collection of approximately [520 homes](/properties/ "Explore Properties at Sailfish Point") has recorded 27 closed sales, for a total of $95.67 million, including a recent transaction at $9.45 million. Current inventory ranges from luxury condominiums priced around $1.9 million to custom oceanfront estates approaching $35 million. “What’s changing is the profile of the buyer,” Conroy added. “Sailfish Point is seeing seasoned homeowners who know exactly what they want—and recognize that this type of lifestyle is becoming more difficult to find elsewhere.” ![Wooden pier extending into water at sunset](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/sailfish-point-house-of-refuge-pier-at-sunset-02102026-300x200.webp) ## Lifestyle Factors Driving Migration Long recognized as the “Sailfish Capital of the World,” Stuart has deep roots in sportfishing and maritime culture. For many years, it functioned more as a pass-through town than a destination. Recent investments and additions, however, have expanded its appeal. Hutchinson Island’s 21 miles of beaches remain a draw, complemented by cultural institutions such as the Elliott Museum, the House of Refuge, and the Lyric Theatre. [Downtown Stuart’s](https://downtownstuartflorida.com/ "Downtown Stuart Florida – Shopping, Dining & Culture") Riverwalk and Main Street offer a walkable mix of local shops, dining, and community events, including regular waterfront performances that contribute to the town’s year-round rhythm. ![Aerial view of tennis and pickleball courts near the ocean](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/sailfish-point-tennis-and-pickleball-courts-aerial-02102026.webp) ## A Market Defined by Balance Market indicators suggest the Stuart area continues to support balanced inventory levels, offering buyers choice without the urgency seen in more competitive metro markets. Longer average days on market reflect a measured pace that aligns with retirement and second-home purchasing decisions. As migration patterns across Florida continue to evolve, Stuart and Hutchinson Island are increasingly being viewed not as alternatives, but as intentional choices—defined by access to water, privacy, and a lifestyle shaped by scale rather than speed. ## About Sailfish Point Located on the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island, Sailfish Point is a private club community where the water is a part of everyday life. More than two-thirds of the homes boast views of either the Atlantic Ocean, St. Lucie River, or Indian River Lagoon. Residences are complemented by an oceanfront clubhouse, racquet courts, a Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course, and one of the state’s largest private marinas. Situated within a 532-acre community, Sailfish Point is home only 520 residences, from single-family homes to condominiums.

The landscape at [Sailfish Point](/ "Sailfish Point Homepage") is defined by water and wind, and the course sits at the edge of it all, exposed in a way that gives the season its own coastal character. For Members of this private Florida golf community, winter isn’t a dramatic shift. It’s a quieter one, marked by steady sunshine, dependable playability, and the coastal beauty that influences every round. ![Aerial shot of Sailfish Point fairways stretching toward the coastline under soft clouds.](/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/sailfishpoint-winter-golf-course-aerial-blog120225.webp")## Winter on the Coast of a Private Florida Golf Community [Jack Nicklaus designed](https://nicklausdesign.com/course/sailfishpoint/ "learn more about the course designed by Jack - opens in new tab") the championship course at Sailfish Point with a deep understanding of its waterfront surroundings. This Jack Nicklaus Signature layout moves with the island’s contours, shaped to embrace the breeze and the shoreline. The 2021 renovation sharpened greens, tees, and bunkers while protecting the welcoming, member-friendly environment that defines the best private golf communities in Florida. Member David Lusk describes the balance: “Single digit players found the course more challenging, and higher handicap players found it more playable. Nicklaus pulled off the impossible and left us with a wonderful asset.” Each hole reflects that philosophy — strategic without being punishing, naturally integrated into the land, and memorable in every season. ![Treasure Coast Golf on the Edge of the Ocean](/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sailfish-point-port-blog-10062025-ocean-island-min.jpg)## How Island Conditions Shape Winter Golf in Florida [Winter golf](/golf/ "Learn more about the golf course") at Sailfish Point is shaped by the water before anything else. The Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lucie Inlet, and the Indian River surround the course on three sides — close enough that golfers feel the conditions shift as they move from hole to hole. Member Louise Price shared: “I think you would be hard challenged to find a place with golf in a setting like this. We are surrounded on all sides by water. No place has that.” In the cooler months, breezes shift more noticeably. Mornings may bring ocean air; afternoons may welcome river winds. Wildlife patterns change. Light moves differently across dunes and fairways. Former Director of Golf Victor Tortorici shared, “In the winter the wind might come from the north one day and the south the next. It becomes a different golf course almost every day you play.” ## A Culture of Playing When the Day Invites It Winter highlights one of the private golf community’s most distinctive habits: playing without a tee time. Members head out when the light looks appealing, when the breeze drops, or simply when the moment feels right. Some rounds begin early and end before lunch; others drift into the soft late-afternoon glow. Member Bob Price summed it up: “You can go play almost any time you want. You wake up and decide to play golf, and you play golf. That is part of our culture.” ![Waterfront golf hole at Sailfish Point with bright greens and turquoise shoreline.](/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/sailfishpoint-winter-golf-course-waterfront.webp)## Holes That Capture the Spirit of This Coastal Private Golf Community ### Hole 14 — Toward the Inlet Playing toward the St. Lucie Inlet, winter light turns the approach into something almost cinematic. Boats drift through the channel, the water brightens, and a cool marine breeze lifts off the shoreline. Member Donna Boyd once described it as a reward at the end of the hole. And David Lusk added, “Every time I drive that corner toward the green, I am so pleased that I live here. It is just so pretty that it is hard to beat.” ![Sunrise over Sailfish Point’s oceanside green with soft light on bunkers and fairway.](/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/sailfishpoint-winter-golf-sunrise-blog120225.webp)### Hole 18 — The Window to the Sea The finishing hole climbs gently toward the Atlantic, and in winter the reveal feels even more immediate. The horizon opens. The ocean air meets you as you crest the rise. It’s not dramatic — just quietly unforgettable. Member Alison McMahon described the feeling: “You get to the top of the hill, see the ocean, and it just makes you feel alive.” ## Where a Round Becomes the Start of the Day Winter rounds here rarely end at the eighteen green. Many Members continue their day with short-game practice, a TrackMan session, or enjoying the full array of luxury coastal amenities. The [private marina](/marina/ "Learn more about the marina") includes 84 slips for yachts up to 125 feet plus 45 dry slips, creating unmatched access to the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon. The 60,000-square-foot [Oceanfront Clubhouse](/oceanfront-club/ "more about the club") anchors the social scene, complemented by seven HydroGrid tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a modern Fitness Center with expert trainers, and a serene spa against sweeping ocean views. ![Aerial view of luxury waterfront homes and marina near the Sailfish Point course.](/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/sailfishpoint-winter-golf-homes-blog120225.webp) ## Explore Life in One of the Premier Private Golf Communities in Florida To live this experience year-round, residents can choose from [520 homes](/properties/#listings-search "Start your home search"), including beachfront estates, oceanfront condominiums, link-side villas, and townhomes with private boat docks.

But few oceanfront communities can match the singular setting where the shoreline narrows to a point framed by three distinct waterways. At the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island, [Sailfish Point](/ "Sailfish Point Homepage") blends the beauty of this natural landscape with an uncommon sense of peace and privacy. Let’s take a closer look inside this Florida private club. ![aerial of Hutchinson Island and Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/sailfish-point-home-port-blog-080323-social-min.jpg)## A Landscape Defined by Water Reaching Sailfish Point means following the road on Hutchinson Island south until there’s simply no farther to go. The 520-acre peninsula forms the entire southernmost tip of the island. To the west lies the tranquil Indian River Lagoon; to the east, the Atlantic rolls in; and just to the south, the St. Lucie Inlet draws a dynamic line between river and ocean. “When you see Sailfish Point from the air, it’s really unlike anything else in Florida,” shared Sailfish Point Member Michael Boyd. “It feels almost like an island unto itself. The way everything’s laid out, from the homes to the golf course, takes full advantage of those views.” ![Pelican in the Water](/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/sailfish-point-hutchinson-island-golf-blog-101424-pelican-min.jpg)## Living Alongside Nature’s Neighbors The water surrounding this oceanfront community is also the lifeblood for a thriving ecosystem. Designated as a [Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary](https://www.auduboninternational.org/acsp-for-golf "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary what it means - opens in new tab"), Sailfish Point is committed to protecting its natural neighbors. Sea turtles nest undisturbed along the beaches, herons and osprey sweep across the skies, and the native landscape is preserved in ways that allow nature to take the lead. “We are a zero-discharge community and reuse all of our water,” shared Member David Lusk. “Those are just a few of the efforts that make wildlife plentiful here. The bird population is fantastic — wood storks, herons, egrets, spoonbills, eagles, and more. And if you’re lucky on the course, you might even spot a dolphin from holes 13, 14 and 18.” ## Available Residences Along the Water’s Edge Surrounded by water and wildlife, Sailfish Point’s 520 residences are designed to embrace this rare setting. Thoughtfully planned with low density, more than two-thirds of the homes capture views of the ocean, river, or lagoon. Here are a few of the current listings available: ![5 Bed | 5 Bath | 2 Half Bath | 4,599 AC Sq.

This historic waterfront town affectionally known as the “Sailfish Point Capital of the World” offers a charming counterpoint to the seclusion of Sailfish Point. Its walkable streets are lined with locally owned shops, breezy cafés, and galleries that fuel a thriving arts scene. Members relish picking up fresh seafood for dinner, lingering over coffee with friends, or browsing the weekend markets. Sailfish Point’s [private marina](/marina/ "Learn more about the marina") — one of the largest bulkhead marinas in Florida — is a gateway to adventures well beyond the Treasure Coast. “You can walk out your back door, step onto your boat, and be in the Bahamas’ West End in just two and a half hours,” shared Member Bob Price. “That’s another one of the rare experiences you can have here at Sailfish Point.” ![aerial of the sailfish point marina in stuart florida](/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/sailfish-point-blog-082625-marina-min.jpg) ![Sailfish Point Aerial of Amenity Center](/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/sf-oceanfront-golf-blog-071425-amenities-min.jpg)## Sophisticated Florida Private Club Living Beyond the marina, Sailfish Point elevates its lifestyle with exceptional amenities. The 60,000-square-foot [Oceanfront Clubhouse](/oceanfront-club/ "More about the clubhouse") is the social hub, featuring dining, a pool, seven HydroGrid tennis courts, and four pickleball courts. The Fitness Center caters to all levels with expert trainers available. For ultimate relaxation, the spa offers massages and facials with Atlantic views. With its unmatched setting, Sailfish Point stands among Florida’s most coveted oceanfront communities.

At Sailfish Point on the Treasure Coast, fairways meander towards the ocean, and every hole tells a story of sand, sea, and sanctuary. Take the tour and see why this coastal masterpiece is elevated far beyond the game. On Florida’s Treasure Coast, the [Jack Nicklaus Signature Course](/golf/ "Jack Nicklaus Signature Course") at Sailfish Point offers more than postcard-worthy views — it asks golfers to think. From the opening tee shot framed by the Atlantic breeze to greens guarded by water and bunkers, strategy is always part of the round. What makes the experience stand out, though, is its balance. Let’s step inside this private Florida golf lifestyle. ![Treasure Coast Golf](/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sailfish-point-port-blog-10062025-ocean-island-min.jpg) ## Treasure Coast Golf on the Edge of the Ocean At Sailfish Point, nature is as much a playing partner as the clubs in a golfer’s bag. The Atlantic Ocean, St. Lucie Inlet, and Indian River wrap the layout on three sides, giving nearly every hole a panoramic backdrop. The breeze off the ocean shifts with the day, sometimes helping, sometimes hurting, but always asking golfers to adjust their approach. “I think you’d be hard challenged to find a place that has golf in a setting like this,” shared Sailfish Point Member Ann Louise Price. “We are surrounded by water on all sides – the huge ocean on one side, the inlet, and then the wide Intracoastal. No place has that.” ![The South Florida PGA Professional Championship](/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sailfish-point-blog-10062025-golf-course-min.jpg) ## Tournament-Caliber Demands Low-handicap players will find a thoughtful challenge on a course that has hosted the South Florida PGA Professional Championship. From the back tees, approaches are asked to carry to well-protected greens, and fairways framed by water and bunkers demand accuracy over power. Nicklaus’s trademark high-flashed bunkers add both visual drama and strategic weight, forcing careful shot placement across the layout. Underfoot, the TifEagle Bermuda grass provides a smooth, reliable surface that keeps the course playing true in every season. ![Oceanfront Golf Course](/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/ailfish-point-blog-10062025-golf-course-2-min.jpg) ## A Friendly Side of Nicklaus’ Design While the back tees bring out the course’s bite, five sets of tees ensure Sailfish Point remains approachable for all levels of play. From the forward markers, the layout stretches just under 5,000 yards. Here, the focus shifts to enjoying the rhythm of the game against a backdrop of dunes, mangroves, and shoreline that seem to follow every swing. For Sailfish Point Member David Lusk, hole 14 has one of the best views. “It’s one of the more difficult holes, but there is a short drive as you leave your third shot around to the green,” said Lusk. “It takes you out to the Intracoastal, then out to the St. Lucie Inlet, and then around by the ocean. Every time I’ve driven that corner, I am so pleased that I live at Sailfish Point.” ![Sailfish Bird](/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sailfish-point-blog-1006205-bird-min.jpg) ## Fairways Where Wildlife Joins the Round The Nicklaus Course at Sailfish Point not only stands out for its design but also for its integration with nature. Careful maintenance practices have earned the layout recognition as a [Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary](https://www.auduboninternational.org/acsp-for-golf "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary"). Yet, golfers will notice it less in labels and more in the way the land feels alive. Egrets lift from the mangroves, herons trace the edges of lagoons, and wood storks patrol the shoreline. There’s even an apiary program with bees along the course that helps sustain the environment. The result is a setting where the natural rhythm of the Treasure Coast becomes inseparable from the rhythm of the game. “We have things that you just don’t see,” shared Sailfish Point Member Alison McMahon. “I’m from New Jersey, so we have shore birds, but we don’t have the spoonbills, herons, or egrets. It’s all the wildlife, plus the beauty of the course and plantings itself. They take such good care of it here.” ![Oceanfront Clubhouse](/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sailfish-point-blog-10062025-raquect-center-amenity-min.jpg) ## An Irreplicable Florida Golf Lifestyle Beyond the course, Sailfish Point offers an array of amenities that reflect the community’s elevated, coastal lifestyle. The [full-service marina—one](/marina/ "Sailfish Point offers an array of amenities that reflect the community’s elevated, coastal lifestyle") of the largest privately owned in Florida—features 84 slips for vessels up to 100 feet, along with 45 dry slips.

But on Florida’s Treasure Coast, the light seems to linger a little longer. [Sailfish Point Members](/ "Sailfish Point Homepage") greet the season with oceanfront mornings, golden afternoons on the course, and evenings that still glow beneath pastel skies. While the rest of the country turns inward, life at this private club community remains unhurried, open, and full of warmth. Let’s explore what “Florida Fall” really means. ![Private marina with yachts at golden hour in calm fall weather at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/sailfish-point-marina-florida-fall-sunshine-blog-2025-11-12-inline-wide-1200x675-1.webp)## Sailing Florida’s Treasure Coast Waters With the Atlantic Ocean, St. Lucie Inlet, and Indian River Lagoon surrounding Sailfish Point, life drifts toward the water.

Many Members set out early from the private [Sailfish Point Marina](/marina/ "learn more about the Marina"), a world-class harbor offering 84 slips accommodating vessels up to 100 feet.

Stretching 7,088 yards, the par-72 layout showcases water views on nearly every hole.

As an [Audubon Certified Sanctuary](https://www.auduboninternational.org/acsp-for-golf "Audubon Certified Sanctuary - opens in new tab"), herons, wood storks, and other coastal wildlife often become part of the day’s round. ![Aerial view of tennis and pickleball courts near the ocean at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/sailfish-point-racquet-sports-center-florida-fall-sunshine-blog-2025-11-12-inline-wide-1200x675-1.webp)## Tennis, Pickleball, and Sunshine Play For those who prefer their sunshine served with movement, Sailfish Point offers countless ways to stay active. The Tennis Center buzzes with energy across eight HydroGrid® courts and four pickleball courts, where Members gather for clinics, round robins, and matches arranged by full-time professionals. Nearby, the Fitness Center provides everything from state-of-the-art equipment and personal training to a full schedule of group classes. ![Evening glow on the Oceanfront Clubhouse and pool terrace overlooking the Atlantic](/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/sailfish-point-oceanfront-clubhouse-florida-fall-sunshine-blog-2025-11-12-inline-wide-1200x675-1.webp)## Savoring Florida Fall at the Oceanfront Clubhouse Just steps from the sand, [the Oceanfront Club](/oceanfront-club/ "more about the club") is the heart of the community.

However, with President Trump’s residence nearby, navigating Palm Beach International Airport has become more complex. Fortunately, just 40 miles north, Witham Field (SUA) in [Stuart](/location/#stuart-florida "Learn more about the city of Stuart") offers a convenient alternative for those seeking a smoother travel experience. Let’s explore what this Florida airport provides. ![United States of America Airplane](/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sailfish-stuart-airport-blog-040725-president-min.jpg)## Navigating Palm Beach During Air Force One’s Arrival With President Trump’s primary estate, Mar-a-Lago, located in Palm Beach, the frequent arrival of Air Force One brings certain challenges. Airspace and road closures as the President travels to his residence are common in cities where they reside. While these safety protocols are crucial, they can lead to some inconveniences for both travelers and locals. Flight delays, missed connections, and heightened traffic can create a sense of unpredictability at Palm Beach International Airport, especially during busy travel times. ## Streamlined Travel at Stuart’s Witham Field Amid the congestion of Palm Beach, many are seeking smaller airports that provide a more seamless experience. Stuart’s Witham Field has become a popular choice for its more relaxed environment and personalized services.

Sailfish Point Harbor Master, Captain Ray Reganato, has been captaining boats and managing marinas since 1989 and is a renowned industry expert. Although he often shares his technical tips and boating industry secrets with Members at Sailfish Point, he is now sharing his unique perspective with us on what makes a great private marina. ![aerial of the sailfish point marina in stuart florida](https://sailfishpoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sail-fish-point-boats-on-the-water-221220-min.jpg)## Protection While Docked When selecting a marina, it’s important to take note of how your vessel will be protected when not in use. Top private marinas take on-site security seriously, with gated premises, round-the-clock personnel, and video cameras providing an added layer of security. Even more critical is the protection of the harbor in case of a storm. This isn’t just a consideration in the event of hurricanes but everyday weather events. The design of the marina should minimize wave action and incorporate piling designs that ensure the ability to secure the vessel to combat the rise and fall of the water level. “Choosing the right marina is a lot like buying a house,” said Reganato. “You not only have to be sure the slip is right for your particular boat, but also have to check out the neighborhood and explore the marina’s security measures. When purchasing a slip, take a few moments to study the accessibility of the docks–the direction of the prevailing winds, strength of the current, and overall depth of the water.” ## On-Site Amenities and Conveniences Getting out on the water quickly and returning home with ease have a real impact on the quality time spent enjoying your marina lifestyle. Ensuring that the facility’s amenities are plentiful and meet expectations should also be pivotal in the decision-making process. Create a list of facilities that are most important for your family’s needs and take note of where they are located in comparison to your slip. Certain amenities are a must-have, including electrical hookups and fuel and pump-out services. More luxury marinas may also include on-site dining and shopping options, Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, and more. Having a Ship’s Store to shop for essentials like drinking water and food as well as live bait and tackle is also highly desirable. “At Sailfish Point, Members have full access to all the services they need whenever they need them,” said Reganato. “The Yacht Club serves complimentary coffee each morning. The Chandlery, our ship’s store, is filled with kayak and paddleboard rentals, fishing and snorkeling gear, live bait and tackle, boating safety equipment, and anything else Members would need to enjoy a day out on the water.” ![residents boating on the sailfish point coastline](/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sail-fish-point-couple-in-the-boat-221220-min.jpg)## Marina Staff Ready to Assist A sign of a great marina is often its team of trusted and well-trained staff. From helping tie up and launch a vessel to guiding on the area’s fishing hot spots, these experts are always willing to lend an extra hand and offer valuable advice. Additionally, when a boat needs routine maintenance, take note of the nearest service station. If the marina staff have the qualifications and training to repair and maintain boats on-site, boaters can avoid time-consuming and costly transfers to a better-equipped harbor. “The marina team should be just as active and engaged with the boating world as its patrons,” said Reganato. “They should be prepared to not only assist with maintenance and technical needs, but also provide a wealth of information about the local hotspots for boating.” ## Find Your Second Family Perhaps the most important, consideration is the comradery amongst boaters at the marina itself. Many in the boating community are social and friendly, and marinas can bring these groups of individuals with shared passions together. Choose a facility that organizes regular gatherings like boat shows, fishing tournaments, or group day trips. Many private marinas also have dedicated social clubs with meetings for specific types of boating and watersport enthusiasts. “A marina is your home away from home,” said Reganato. “It should be more than just a place to tie up your boat. Many make long-term friends through their marinas and build a lively community. Plus, it’s nice to be able to help each other with docking from time to time.” ![A Glimpse Inside the Sailfish Point Lifestyle](/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/sail-fish-point-marina-221220-min.jpg)## The Largest Private Marina in Florida At Sailfish Point, residents enjoy a full-service marina that is truly in a league of its own.

It may be the curve of the shoreline, the rhythm of the tides, or the stillness that settles in just before sunset. In coastal Florida destinations, there are stretches that feel less like a vacation and more like a return to something familiar. [Sailfish Point](/ "Sailfish Point Homepage"), an oceanfront, gated community north of Palm Beach, captures that feeling with quiet confidence. Its connection to the water, paired with the ease of a private club lifestyle, leaves an impression that’s hard for Members to forget. Here’s a closer look at why. ![Aerial of Florida Hutchinson Island](/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/sailfish-winter-fl-views-blog-021525-aerial-min.jpg)## A Coastal Florida Setting Shaped by the Sea Situated at the southernmost tip of [Hutchinson Island](/location/hutchinson-island/ "Discover the location"), Sailfish Point sits quietly surrounded by water on three sides – the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lucie Inlet, and the Indian River.

Whether enjoying the ocean breezes on the golf course or an al fresco dinner on a terrace overlooking the inlet, nature is always in view. ![Florida Waterfront Golf Course sunset](/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sailfish-nickalaus-course-blog-031125-sunset-min.jpg) ## Championship Golf Nowhere is this natural beauty more pronounced than on the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.

Is it the design, the challenge, or the natural beauty that surrounds it? The most memorable courses combine all three, leaving players with a lasting impression long after the final putt. That’s precisely what PGA legend Jack Nicklaus set out to achieve when he designed the course at [Sailfish Point](/ "Sailfish Point Homepage"). This private, Member-owned golf club on Florida’s Treasure Coast features a Nicklaus Course that offers a dramatic experience at every hole. Let’s explore why golfers of all skill levels find it so captivating. ![Florida Waterfront Golf Course sunset](/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sailfish-nickalaus-course-blog-031125-sunset-min.jpg)## A Nicklaus Course Wrapped in Natural Wonders Surrounded by three bodies of water, Sailfish Point’s location contributes to the rare beauty that defines the course. The [Nicklaus Course](/golf/ "More about the golf course") feels like a natural extension of the surroundings, with green fairways providing a contrast to the deep blue waters that frame it. Islands of swaying palms and vibrant foliage seem to float above the undulating terrain. While many holes offer water views, the 14th hole – a 575-yard par-5 – stands out with its views of the St. Lucie Inlet, especially at sunset. The 18th hole, nicknamed the “Window to the Sea,” provides a perfect conclusion to the round. This 448-yard par-4 offers an unforgettable ocean view that tempts Members to linger. ![Hutchinson Island Golf Course](/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sailfish-nickalaus-course-blog-031125-waterfront-golf-min.jpg)## The Perfect Balance of Challenge and Craft As Jack Nicklaus’s [ninth Signature Course](https://nicklausdesign.com/course/sailfishpoint/ "More about Nicklaus' design - opens in new tab"), Sailfish Point is a masterclass in design, featuring some of his most intricately crafted holes. His signature high-flashed bunkers not only enhance the course’s aesthetic but also test precision and strategy on nearly every hole. The TifEagle Bermuda grass adds an extra layer of performance, providing consistent speed and a smooth, fast surface that plays true throughout the year. Five sets of tees cater to all skill levels, rewarding good play without intimidating higher handicappers. The front tees at 4,986 yards provide a more approachable round, while the back tees stretch to 7,081 yards, offering a true test for competitive players and PGA sectional events. With each round, the Gulf Stream breezes subtly shift the course’s character, giving golfers at Sailfish Point a unique experience every time they tee off. ## Attention to Detail Creates an Audubon Sanctuary The Nicklaus Course at Sailfish Point not only stands out for its design but also for its integration with nature. It’s not uncommon to share a round with local wildlife like egrets, herons, and wood storks, thanks to the course’s careful environmental stewardship. Under the guidance of Director of Golf Course Operations, Schott MacPhee, efforts to reduce chemical use, conserve water, and create natural buffer zones between the course and waterways have earned the course “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” status from [Audubon International](https://www.auduboninternational.org/ "More about the Audubon - opens in new tab"). This commitment to both course excellence and environmental preservation enhances the experience for both golfers and the surrounding ecosystem. ![Aerial of Florida Hutchinson Island](/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/sailfish-winter-fl-views-blog-021525-aerial-min.jpg)## Waterfront Private Club and Marina Amenities In addition to golf, Sailfish Point offers a comprehensive array of amenities designed to enrich the lifestyles of its Members.

Stuart, Florida is known as the [Sailfish Capital of the World](https://discovermartin.com/sailfish-capital-world/ "Discover the Sailfish Point Capital of the World"). The surrounding waters are teeming with large, lively, and fast fish that are relatively easy to hook.

When hooked, they can sky, or leap, ten feet into the air, displaying a magnificent body of iridescent blue, purple, silver, and black. Sailfish can be caught year-round [off the Stuart coast](https://discovermartin.com/sailfish-alley-treasure-coasts-waters-serve-sails-galore/ "To learn more about Sailfishing on the Treasure Coast"), but the best time is mid-November through mid-February.

Should you try for the shallows, snook, permit, and bonefish — one of the most challenging game fish — abound. The surrounding reefs host snapper, grouper, and more. A lifetime of fishing can be found in the waters that surround Hutchinson Island. Many locals will tell you that there are more saltwater and freshwater species within a ten-mile radius of Stuart than anywhere else in the country. And many of those same locals are fishing enthusiasts who begin their days pulling baitfish from the waters between the shore and the Gulf Stream.

No longer is it solely about challenges that only professionals can conquer. Rather, there’s been a notable shift towards accommodating players of all skill levels, highlighting a commitment to inclusivity in the sport. This evolving philosophy inspired the redesign of the [golf course at Sailfish Point](/golf/ "Learn more about the Golf Course"), located on a barrier island along Florida’s east coast. The 2021 renovation of this Jack Nicklaus-designed course introduced new tees and features that strike a captivating balance between challenge and enjoyment. Let’s take a closer look. ## A Fully Reimagined Florida Golf Course Managed by the [Nicklaus Design Team](https://nicklausdesign.com/course/sailfishpoint/ "More about the Golf course designed by Nicklaus - opens in new tab"), no blade of grass was left unturned during the renovations to the Sailfish Point golf course. A key change was the reduction of formal sand areas by 15%, allowing for a more fluid game while still showcasing the iconic high-flashed bunkers that define the course. To address the area’s windy conditions, advanced bunker liners were introduced for stability and consistency. An upgraded irrigation system nourishes the new TifEagle Bermuda grass, celebrated for its superior speed and consistency. The renovations also introduced five sets of tees ranging from 4,986 yards at the forward tees to 7,081 yards at the back. Sailfish Point member and avid golfer David Lusk remarked, “Surprisingly, after the reconstruction, single-digit handicap players found the course even more challenging and enjoyed it. At the same time, higher-handicap players discovered it much more playable. Nicklaus left us with a wonderful asset here. The course is visually stunning, challenging to play, yet still very enjoyable for everyone.” ![Hutchinson Island Golf Course - Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/sailfish-point-golf-course-blog-020923-ocean-min.jpg)## A Canvas of Greens and Blues The redesign of this Florida golf course highlights the vibrant greens that beautifully contrast with the blue hues of the three surrounding bodies of water. Players weave through palm trees, lush foliage, and undulating fairways, with each hole unveiling increasingly dramatic water views. The 18th hole, aptly named “Window to the Sea” by Nicklaus, offers a breathtaking view of the ocean, providing a stunning finale to the round. Member Michael Boyd agrees, “My favorite hole is definitely number 18. The approach shot to the green offers a view of the ocean, which is spectacular. It’s also a great finishing hole when there are bets on the line. It presents a challenge, and plenty can happen, whether good or bad.” ![Sailfish Natural wildlife birds](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/sailfish-golf-handicap-blog-111524-birds-min.jpg)## A Shared Sanctuary for Wildlife These natural features have transformed the Sailfish Point golf course into a haven for local flora and fauna.

They have established five butterfly gardens and an apiary program featuring beehives throughout the course, creating essential habitats for pollinators. Members can even purchase the harvested honey at the Golf Pro Shop. Nancy Zappala and her husband remarked on the time they had to pause and admire the wildlife on the course. “We were on the third hole and had to start taking pictures because there were about 200 ibis and ducks diving into the water,” shared Zappala. “It was like being in the most incredible nature reserve you’ve ever seen.” ![Couple on golf course at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sailfish-no-tee-time-20231227-min.jpg)## Golf Events Tailored to All Skill Levels Expert golf professionals also create a calendar of golf events on the course to cater to all skill levels.

The private Florida Club’s par-72 championship course stretches along the waterfront, with Bermuda grass fairways, high-flashed bunkers, and signature oceanside holes that create a memorable round for golfers of all skill levels. In 2021, the course underwent a comprehensive renovation that forever changed how it’s played. Let’s take a closer look. ![aerial of the Intracoastal waterways](/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/sailfish-point-jack-nicklaus-reno-blog-062223-intracoastal-min.jpg)## The Jack Nicklaus Legacy For the past four decades, Sailfish Point’s golf course has been exclusively designed and renovated by the acclaimed [Nicklaus Design Team](https://www.nicklausdesign.com/about/our-team/ "Learn more about the design team - Opens in new tab"). First built in 1981, this was Nicklaus’ ninth Signature Course ever composed by the team. In 2007, the course underwent a renovation that involved recontouring the areas surrounding the greens and repaving the cart paths with aggregate cement. However, as Sailfish Point commemorated its 40th anniversary in the spring of 2021, the golf course experienced its most significant transformation to date. Spearheaded by the Nicklaus Design Team, this “reimagination” brought about substantial changes that enhanced playability and strategy. The course reopened to widespread acclaim in December 2021, presenting an eminently playable layout that caters to players of varying ages, abilities, and ambitions. As Sailfish Point’s Director of Golf, Victor Tortorici agrees that the Nicklaus design is unlike any other. “Our operations and agronomy teams work hard to maintain this course to championship standards, and the Nicklaus team’s design has truly withstood the test of time,” shared Tortorici. “Every blade of grass was replaced during the $7 million renovation by Jack Nicklaus of his course that he debuted back when a gallon of gas cost less than a dollar.” ![aerial of the Jack Nicklaus Renovation Golf course at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/sailfish-point-jack-nicklaus-reno-blog-062223-fairway-min.jpg)## No Blade of Grass Was Left Unturned The renovations to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course ensured both aesthetic appeal and enhanced playability for players of all skill levels. One significant change was the reduction of formal sand areas by 15%, while still preserving the distinct high-flashed bunkers that define the course’s character. To address windy conditions, advanced-tech bunker liners have been introduced to effectively stabilize the sand. Furthermore, the putting surfaces on multiple greens were expanded to their original dimensions, creating opportunities for a variety of new pin positions and increasing receptivity to well-struck approach shots. An upgraded irrigation system was also installed to nourish the new TifEagle Bermuda grass, renowned for its superior speed and consistency. With a no-tee-time policy, Sailfish Point Member Michael Boyd cherishes the ease of getting his friends together for a round on the course. “My favorite hole the finishing hole, number 18,” shared Michael. “I had the opportunity to be involved in the implementation committee when we redid the course and we substantially changed 18 to elevate the fairway. Your approach shot into the green now has a spectacular view of the ocean. It’s still a challenging hole, and a lot can happen in a good or bad way.” ![waterfront golf course by Jack Nicklaus at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/sailfish-point-jack-nicklaus-reno-blog-062223-waterfront-golf-course-min.jpg) ## New Tees for All Skill Levels Among the enhancements was the installation of new forward tees on all 18 holes, creating a 5,001-yard layout that optimizes playability for those with slower swing speeds. With these new tees, Members will have increased opportunities to reach the greens in regulation, leading to an improved pace of play and a heightened sense of enjoyment for all players. In total, the course now features five sets of tees, catering to a diverse range of players. At the other end, the back tees extend to an impressive 7,081 yards, ensuring that Sailfish Point can continue to host completive Member events and PGA sectional tournaments. ![waterfront Jack Nicklaus golf course at Sailfish Point](/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/sailfish-point-jack-nicklaus-reno-blog-062223-riverfront-golf-course-min.jpg)## An Expanded Golf Practice Area The expanded golf practice area established itself as one of the leading game improvement facilities in Southeast Florida. The range will feature new target greens that provide the look and feel of a Par 4, helping golfers visualize and refine their shorts. The practice putting green has been re-contoured and expanded from 6,500 to 10,000 square feet, providing ample space for players to hone their putting skills. The practice areas also now boast two driving areas on the north and south ends, all incorporating cutting-edge Trackman technology. This innovation provides valuable insights and data analysis that empower Members to optimize their gameplay. Sailfish Point Member Donna Boyd is appreciative of how welcoming the course and practice areas are to players of all skill levels. “Every level of golf is accommodated and welcomed here,” shared Donna. “We have a lot of scrambles and events that just take the pressure off, so people have fun. Our golf pro is always reminding us ‘You’re doing this for fun. Don’t worry about it.’ It’s a fantastic way to meet people, and there’s no judgment.” ## A Florida Club on the Leading Edge of Innovations The renovations made to the [Nicklaus Signature Golf Course](/golf/ "Discover the Sailfish Point Golf Course") are not the only changes coming to [Sailfish Point](https://landing.sailfishpoint.com/ "Register for a Sailfish Point Magazine"). This 532-acre waterfront community is constantly renovating its innovative amenities to create an unmatched Member experience. As the center of activity, the [Oceanfront Club](/oceanfront-club/ "Explore the Oceanfront Club Lifestyle") includes dining venues, a pool, a spa, and seven HydroGrid tennis courts. As pickleball continues to grow in popularity, the Club in a truly innovative fashion transformed one of its tennis courts to make room for four new pickleball courts. Sailfish Point’s Marina and Yacht Club is also in a league of its own. As one of the largest privately-owned marinas in Florida, it offers 84 slips that can accommodate vessels up to 125 feet in length with an additional 45 dry slips. With a prime location at the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island and a luxurious set of innovative amenities, life at this enviable beachfront property is irresistible. From spacious beachfront properties and oceanfront condos to link side villas and townhomes with private boat docks, the [520 distinctive homes](/properties/ "Find your Sailfish Point Home") offer an astounding array of living possibilities.

With a breathtaking setting to call home, Members of this private oceanfront community are devoted to preserving its natural way of life. See how Sailfish Point has embraced and celebrated its natural setting to entice both inhabitants and wildlife alike. ![Audubon Sanctuary where wildlife comes to explore - pink bird](/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/sailfish-point-environmental-stewards-blog-051223-bird-min.jpg) ## 1. Golf in a Designated Audubon Sanctuary Sailfish Point’s [Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course](/golf/ "Explore the Sailfish Point Golf Course") boasts dramatic, jaw-dropping ocean and river views from every hole. With five sets of tees ranging from 5,001 to 7,081 yards, the nationally acclaimed par-72 course is not only beautiful in design but also a sanctuary for nearby wildlife. Director of Golf Course Operations Schott MacPhee has made great strides in environmental conservation on the course by reducing chemical use, stepping up water conservation efforts, and creating natural buffer zones between the golf course and the waterways. Thanks to MacPhee’s efforts, the course was designated as a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” by [Audubon International](https://auduboninternational.org/ "Learn more about the Audubon - Opens in new tab") and he received recognition for Environmental Stewardship. ![aerial of Sailfish Point Community](/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/sailfish-point-environmental-stewards-blog-051223-aerial-golf-course-min.jpg)## 2. A Zero Discharge Community Sailfish Point has also installed an innovative, self-sufficient water system that ensures no stormwater or wastewater enters the ocean or rivers surrounding the community. An on-site water treatment plant provides water for both golf course irrigation and residential use. The golf course irrigation systems are equipped with a reverse osmosis treatment to lower salinity levels in the soil and promote healthier turf and landscapes. The treatment plant also provides water for Members to use in their homes, with levels that meet and exceed federal and state drinking water standards. ## 3. Environmental Stewardship Committee Members at Sailfish Point have also banded together to take the lead in the community’s environmental initiatives. The Environmental Stewardship Committee has worked with Scott MacPhee and his team to establish five butterfly gardens around the golf course that not only add visual appeal but also serve as a crucial habitat for pollinators. Another noteworthy initiative of the committee is the apiary program of beehives nestled in secluded spots along the course. The groundskeepers diligently monitor the hives daily for activity, and the harvested honey is made available for purchase by Members at the Spa and Golf Pro Shop. These are just a few of the initiatives the Environmental Stewardship Committee has coordinated across Sailfish Point. ![oceanfront community featuring beautiful golf course](/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/sailfish-point-environmental-stewards-blog-051223-committee-min.jpg) ![This Oceanfront Community is filled with beautiful nature and wildlife](/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/sailfish-point-environmental-stewards-blog-051223-nature-min.jpg)## 4. Inspiring Future Stewards of Nature The Environmental Stewardship Committee is also active in hosting numerous events each year that promote environmental education and awareness in the community. From nature photo contests and scavenger hunts to guest activist speakers and field trips, events are designed for all ages and interests. Bird watching is another popular activity, and Members are taken on a water taxi to Bird Island to observe the nesting of wood storks, herons, and spoonbills. One of the most popular monthly events is the monthly beach cleanup walk, ensuring the pristine beauty of Sailfish Points 1.5 miles of shoreline remains a priority. ![homes at this Oceanfront community](/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/sailfish-point-environmental-stewards-blog-051223-community-min.jpg)## Florida’s Premier Private Oceanfront Community From an active and involved Membership to its luxurious setting on the tip of Hutchinson Island, Sailfish Point is truly a one-of-a-kind community.

From cherished historic landmarks to eclectic downtowns, these sites are not only an integral part of the community culture but also showcase the area’s natural Florida charm. Here are just a few of the cultural hotspots Members at [Sailfish Point](/ "Visit the Sailfish Point homepage") love to visit. ![exterior of house of refuge and beach](/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/sailfish-point-cultural-hotspots-blog-022123-house-of-refuge-min.jpg)## 1. House of Refuge Just outside the gates of Sailfish Point, the [House of Refuge](https://hsmc-fl.com/house-of-refuge/ "Learn more about the House of Refuge - opens in new tab") at Gilbert’s Bar is the oldest structure in Martin County. The building is the sole remaining of ten original houses built along Florida’s east coast to provide shelter for shipwreck survivors.

Elliott Museum Founded in 1960, the [Elliott Museum](https://hsmc-fl.com/elliott-museum/ "Learn more about the Elliott Museum - opens in new tab") was created to showcase the genius of local Stuart inventor Sterling Elliott. The museum features installments and exhibits dedicated to inspiring creativity through history, art, and community culture for the people who live in and visit the Treasure Coast. From the most comprehensive assemblage of Model A trucks in the world to one of the largest collections of signed baseball-related items, the museum is filled with something for everyone to enjoy. ![water view of performance at rock n riverwalk](/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/sailfish-point-cultural-hotspots-blog-022123-riverwalk-min.jpg)## 4. Downtown Stuart Riverwalk Located directly off the St. Lucie River, [Downtown Stuart](https://downtownstuartflorida.com/ "Visit the Downtown Stuart Website - opens in new tab") is always a hub of activity. This walkable outdoor streetscape offers over 50 locally owned shops and boutiques to peruse.

Art Galleries Abound With a beautiful natural setting to call home, it comes as no surprise that Martin County is a hub for artists from around the world. From beautiful murals incorporated in the Florida Mural Trail to endless arts festivals and exhibitions, art in Martin County comes in all shapes, sizes, and mediums. Downtown Stuart is home to numerous art galleries for every interest, including [Geoffrey C. Smith’s](https://www.geoffreycsmith.com/ "Discover more about Geoffrey Smith - opens in new tab") bronze sculptures, [Rare Earth Gallery’s](https://store.rareearthgallery.com/ "View the Rare Earth Gallery website - opens in new tab") ceramic and glass sculptures, and [Gallery 36’s](https://gallery-36.com/ "Discover Gallery 36 - opens in new tab") photography and fine art paintings.

The coastal town of Stuart is an angler’s paradise, and proudly bills itself (no pun intended) as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.” Yet it’s also a haven for families in search of a livable community with top notch public and private schools, as well as a hotspot for retirees fleeing colder temps and higher taxes for a tropical climate and maritime setting. Incorporated in 1914, Stuart is situated on the southern end of Florida’s underrated, and underexposed, Treasure Coast. The region running from Indian River County south to Martin County is a throwback to the Sunshine State’s unspoiled coastal landscapes of the 50s and 60s. Our 532-acre private golf community is just minutes away from what Oprah Winfrey just ranked as the [sixth most charming town in America](https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/2020/01/24/oprah-winfrey-magazine-stuart-visit-asap/4566933002/ "read the article about Oprah Winfrey magazine list - opens in new tab"). Stuart has racked up numerous awards and accolades over the years, not the least of which was being named America’s “Happiest Seaside Town” by Coastal Living. Sound like the sort of place you where you might want to park your flip flops for a long while? Well, here are five things our Sailfish Point residents love about living near Stuart. ## 1. Downtown Historic without being stuffy, downtown Stuart claimed the 7th annual “Great Places in Florida” award hosted by the state’s chapter of the American Planning Association, a professional organization of city and urban planners. With its location between the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon, downtown is a haven for kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, wind surfing and other waters spots. Residents also love to simply relax and catch a sunset at Shepherd Park with the Shepard Park Drum Circle playing in the background. Restaurants abound downtown, with a plethora of delicious seafood joints ranging from hole-in-the-wall to upscale. [The Boathouse](https://www.stuartboathouse.com/ "learn more about the restaurant here - opens in new tab") lands somewhere in the middle, and its setting right on the water draws big crowds on the weekends. ![downtown stuart florida streetscape](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/downtown-stuart-love-stuart-sailfish-blog-min.jpg)## 2. Cleveland Clinic Proximity to health care and medical facilities is a major factor when it comes to retirement and relocation. And Sailfish Point is the beneficiary of the famed Cleveland Clinic’s newest Florida branch, the Cleveland Clinic Family Health Center. The $36 million, 87,000-square-foot one-stop shop for elite medical care opened in in October 2019, forever changing the face of the county’s healthcare industry. It joined Cleveland Clinic Martin North and South to create one of the state’s best regional hospital networks. With the Cleveland Clinic Martin Health, Sailfish Point residents have the best of both words – a secluded-yet-spacious island lifestyle and convenient access to the world’s best medical care just minutes away. ![exterior or stuart cleveland clinic](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/cleveland-clinic-love-stuart-sailfish-blog-min.jpg)## 3. Martin County Airport Sailfish Point residents can easily make their way south to Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) for commercial flights. But private aviation is becoming more affordable and accessible in response to high-net-worth individuals’ desire to travel safely and efficiently amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Martin County Airport, Witham Field in Stuart, Fla. is a 726-acre facility home to more than 200 private and business aircraft. Once operated by the U.S. Navy for flying fighters and light bombers, it’s considered one of the state’s premier fixed base operations. Living near Stuart provides easy access to the Bahamas, Bermuda and several Caribbean Islands, and is part of the appeal of living in this maritime paradise. But with international travel comes re-entry into the U.S., and with re-entry comes U.S. Customs. And not every non-commercial airport has a Customs Facility. Martin County Airport, Witham Field, however, does. And uniquely, it can process travelers arriving via both aircraft and marine vessels. The procedure for pilots is incredibly efficient: taxi up to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Facility at Taxiway A2, proceed to the processing area, pay the fee ($30 to $500 depending on aircraft) and head back to your aircraft. ![stuart jet center plane](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/stuart-jet-center-love-stuart-sailfish-blog-min.jpg)## 4. Extensive Waterways Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway is a labyrinth-like network of hundreds of miles of coastal bays, inlets and rivers running along the entirety of the state’s Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Stuart is one of its hubs and offers unrivaled motorized and non-motorized boating activities and adventures. For a taste of Old Florida, it’s hard to beat kayaking the South Fork of the St. Lucie River. The trip entails paddling upstream (south) starting at Hosford Park at 7474 S.W. Gaines Ave. Kayakers will quickly find themselves surrounded by live oaks draped in Spanish moss while navigating through numerous mangrove islands. After a relaxing paddle south, the river meanders by the landing at Halpatiokee Regional Park, a great spot for pulling kayaks, canoes or paddle boards onshore for lunch and a little exploring by foot. For boating and yachting enthusiasts, the options around Stuart are almost endless. But a favorite among Sailfish Point’s tried-and-true mariners is the [Okeechobee Waterway](https://southernboating.com/destinations/us-inland/okeechobee-waterway/ "to learn more about the waterway - opens in a new tab"), a protected inland passage across the entire state from Stuart to Punta Rassa near Fort Myers. ![trees over the st lucie river waterway stuart florida](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/st-lucie-river-love-stuart-sailfish-blog-min.jpg)## 5. Family Fun Niche.com named Stuart as one of the best places in Florida to raise a family. And while the majority of Sailfish Point residents are Baby Boomers, many have children with grandchildren who have either moved, or are considering relocating, to be closer as a family. Stuart’s proximity to amazing beaches provides countless hours of entertainment for young families. It’s also home to the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast, Elliott Museum and the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center. ![florida oceanographic coastal center with manatees florida](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/florida-oceanographic-coastal-center-love-stuart-blog-min.jpg)And for multi-generational fun, downtown is a hotbed of weekend festivals, including the ever-popular Craft Festival, typically held in October. The Riverwalk, Stuart’s waterfront boardwalk along the St. Lucie River, is a popular spot for strolling and picnics and is also the home of Rock’n Riverwalk, a year-round weekly outdoor (and free) concert.

Now more than ever, that discrepancy is under a microscope. With remote workers and satellite offices quickly becoming the norm, tens of thousands of Americans who were bound to certain cities and states due to office jobs have been freed of their geographic obligation. And if Google Search trends are any indication (hint: they are), they’re home shopping online using a variety of keywords and phrases related to tax savings. But relying on property and income tax data simplifies the equation to the point that comparisons between states become ineffective at best and irrelevant at worst. For example … Many states offer additional tax incentives, especially for retirees, and “homestead” exemptions for year-round residents. On the flip side, some low tax states have obscure tariffs that aren’t accounted for by those looking to relocate, such as property taxes levied on vehicles. Recently, financial website WalletHub developed a “Tax Burden” metric measuring the proportion of total personal income that residents pay toward a range of state and local taxes. To determine the residents with the biggest tax burdens, WalletHub compared the 50 states across property taxes, individual income taxes and sales and excise taxes — as a share of total personal income in the state. ## The Results: Florida and Sailfish Point are Winners All 50 states were ranked from highest to lowest with “1” being the highest with respect to taxes. Florida came in at No. 46, trailing only Alaska, Wyoming, Tennessee and Delaware. With no state income tax, the Sunshine State tied for first in the individual income tax burden category. States that are the leading sources of in-migration to Martin County, Fla. (generally) and to Sailfish Point (specifically) happen to have the highest tax burdens. For example, New York ranks No. 1, with a total tax burden of 12.28%, Connecticut sixth (9.99%) and New Jersey seventh (9.88%). Coincidence? Correlation? More like causality. Over the past few years, Sailfish Point has also seen an uptick in new residents from the Midwest. Little wonder: Minnesota has the fifth largest tax burden, and Illinois and Ohio are ninth and 12th, respectively. ## Not to Pile on New York, But … A New York couple filing jointly with $5 million in taxable income would save $394,931 in state income taxes by moving to Florida, according to BDO USA, an accounting firm that provides tax services and financial advice. ![map of U.S NY to FL](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/us-map-moving-from-new-york-to-florida-sailfish-tax-burden-blog-min.jpg)Adding fuel to the fire, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 limits deductions on state and local taxes (SALT), as well as mortgage interest deductions on federal tax returns. Factor in this, along with Florida’s overall cost of living, and the decision to flee these high tax states becomes even easier. ![tax getting cut](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/tax-cuts-florida-sailfish-tax-burden-blog-min.jpg)Moreover, residents claiming Florida as their primary (or only) residence are eligible for hundreds or even thousands of dollars in property tax savings via the [Homestead Exemption](https://www.pa.martin.fl.us/homestead-exemption/homestead-exemption-info "learn about the homestead exemption from the source - opens in a new tab"). ![home with greenery in florida](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/beautiful-home-in-florida-tax-break-sailfish-blog.jpg-min.jpg)## Savings Equal Investment at Sailfish Point New Sailfish Point residents are often pleasantly surprised by how much home they can afford in one of Southeast Florida’s most exclusive oceanfront luxury communities. With proceeds from the sale of their former residence (or residences), buyers are often able to make additional lifestyle-oriented purchases, like golf carts for coasting around the community and boats for cruising the vast Intracoastal Waterway or fishing trips to the nearby Gulfstream teeming with game fish. ![aerial image of the sailfish point marina](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/sailfish-marina-florida-tax-breaks-min.jpg) Golf at Sailfish Point’s nationally-ranked Jack Nicklaus Signature Course isn’t mandatory for residents, but golf lovers who save money by making the move south are often quick to invest in a full equity membership.

The South Florida PGA Professional Championship is being contested Tuesday and Wednesday at Sailfish Point Golf Club in Stuart. At stake is more than a trophy and bragging rights. The top eight finishers qualify for the Senior PGA Professional Championship in mid-October at Twin Warriors and Santa Ana in New Mexico. Defending champion Jack Shoenfelt, Director of Golf Operations at Oriole Golf Club in Pompano Beach, is in the field along with former champions Jerry Tucker (four wins) of Stuart, Mike San Filippo (three) of Hobe Sound, Lee Rinker (three) of Jupiter, Dan Heaslip and John Lee of Naples, Chris Campbell of Vero Beach and Dennis Meyer. Victor Tortorici, the longest-tenured PGA Professional on the Treasure Coast and Director of Golf at Sailfish Club, also is in the field. In each of the last 18 years, the winning score in this championship has been less than 140, meaning players usually have to shoot a pair of rounds in the 60s – at one of South Florida’s top courses – to have a chance to have their name added to the list of champions. It’s easy to see why the South Florida PGA Professional Championship is tough to win. Not only do a lot of top players migrate to South Florida in their late-40s to enhance their chances of playing on the PGA Tour Champions, but for the last two decades they have had the opportunity to fine-tune their competitive skills because of the presence of the Treasure Coast Senior Tour, co-founded by Tucker and Roger Kennedy Sr. Not surprisingly, a TCST regular, Mark Mielke of High Ridge Country Club, shot a 5-under 67 Tuesday to share the lead with Ben Stewart of Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club in Vero Beach. A familiar name was near the top of the leaderboard after the first round: Alan Morin, a PGA Assistant Professional at The Club at Ibis in West Palm Beach. Morin shot a 4-under 68 and is tied for third place with Gene Fieger of Club Pelican Bay. Morin has won Player of the Year honors in the South Florida PGA a record 11 times, and added POY honors the last two years in the Senior Division. The South Florida PGA Professional Championship is one of the few South Florida PGA tournaments Morin has yet to win, but that may soon change.

The dining centerpiece of the Clubhouse, however, is the Ocean Room. This contemporary French American restaurant provides an expansive array of gourmet cuisines, including everything from an Australian rack of lamb to lobster tails. ![Take a look at Sailfish Point's oceanside dining room](/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/sailfishpoint-culinaryblog-diningroom-062222-min.jpg) Sailfish Point’s [Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course](/golf/ "Check out our private golf course on the Atlantic Ocean") is also home to two restaurants of its own.

This nationally acclaimed par-72 course features lush, Bermuda grass fairways, bold, high-flashed bunkers, and two signature oceanside holes.

First built in 1981, this was the ninth Signature Course ever composed by Nicklaus and his team. The [2007 course renovation](https://www.nicklausdesign.com/2005/12/01/sailfish-point-reconditions/ "For more information on our previous renovation") included a recontouring of all the areas around the greens as well as repaving the cart paths with aggregate cement. However, as the community celebrates its 40th birthday, this newest renovation has been the biggest since the course’s inception. ![To explore the history of the Nicklaus Signature golf course](/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/sfp-jan-blog-nicklaus-min.jpg)## A Full Golf Course Renovation During the recent $7 million renovations, not a single blade of grass was left untouched. Many holes underwent major changes that added additional playability and strategy. New sets of forward tees were installed on all 18 holes, creating an optimized layout of ten different playing combinations. With five new sets of forward tees ranging from 5,001 to 7,081 yards, the new layout ensures enjoyment for any skill level. Additionally, the Practice Areas were transformed to include two driving areas on the north and south ends of the course. Sailfish Point has also installed the innovative Trackman putting analysis system in the Practice Area, further assisting Members in their gameplay. ![Sailfish Point's Golf Course aerial](/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/sfp-jan-blog-golfcourse-min.jpg)## Golfing Events to Enjoy for Years to Come With a “no tee time” policy, Members can drive their golf carts straight from their homes to enjoy all the newly refined course has to offer.

These golf professionals also host a wide variety of competitive and social activities for all skill levels, including mixed foursomes, pick-up games, scrambles, tournaments, and formal Men’s and Women’s League play. Popular tournaments include the Husband-and-Wife Championship, Ladies’ Duel, Sailfish Cup, Tortorici Cup, and more. ![Explore the Sailfish Point Golf Events](/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/sfp-jan-blog-events-min.jpg)## Sailfish Point Stays Innovative The renovations made to the [Nicklaus Signature Golf Course](/golf/ "For more information on the Nicklaus Signature Golf Course") are not the only changes coming to Sailfish Point.

A panel of multidisciplinary experts reviewed the nominations and selected Historic Downtown Stuart as a finalist, along with Mill Lake Park Continuum in Orange City and Warm Springs Mineral Park in North Port, Florida. The public was then invited to vote for the winner during the People’s Choice voting round, which counted more than 5,000 total votes from across the state. The annual initiative celebrates Great Places in Florida and the communities that sustain them, including neighborhoods, downtowns, streets and public places. The Great Places program focuses on unique, memorable places that work for the good of their community and attract people to visit them. “It was great to work the Martin County Tourist Development Council on another award for the City of Stuart. Being named the winner of Great places in Florida along with our other awards – it’s evident that citizens across the state of Florida see Downtown Stuart as a premier destination,” said David Dyess, Stuart City Manager. The award is an annual selection of places that represent the gold standard of having a true sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement and a vision for tomorrow.

The city will be recognized by members of the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association leadership during a formal award ceremony later this month. Details will be forthcoming. **Categories:** news --- ### [Four Ways to Enjoy Living at Sailfish Point Right Now](https://sailfishpoint.com/four-ways-to-enjoy-living-at-sailfish-point-right-now/) **Published:** May 30, 2021 **Author:** Alexis Saez **Content:** ***Private Oceanfront Community Offers Luxurious Lifestyle in Beautiful Hutchinson Island, Florida*** The International Sales Group recently released a staggering statistic in its 2020 “Miami Report,” which profiles the luxury condo market throughout Southeast Florida. Since the onset of the pandemic in March, nearly 1,000 people a day have relocated to Florida from high tax states in the Northeast. In August alone, luxury condo sales were up 268% year-over-year in Miami-Dade County. While buyers could be squeezed out of the populous Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County markets, Sailfish Point in Hutchinson Island, a couple hours north, has ample condo inventory for those looking to expedite their relocation or retirement. “Sailfish Point is widely known for its [estate homes](/properties/single-family-homes/ "explore the homes at sailfish point"), but we also have a diverse array of low maintenance, lock-and-leave residential options ranging from condos and villas to townhomes,” says [Sailfish Point Realty](/properties/ "go to the properties page of Sailfish Point for more information") Broker and Managing Partner Kristen Cheskaty. According to Cheskaty, there are effectively four different lifestyle options available at Sailfish Point, each catering to different buyer types and life stages. Here’s an overview of those categories, as well as an active listing from each to peruse. ## 1. Condominiums There are three condo clusters to choose from at Sailfish Point, all of which offer amazing vistas and easy access to amenities: The Isles, Ocean Inlet / Condominiums at 2800 and the Condominiums at 2001. The Isles feature glass walls, wide verandas and direct oceanfront views. Ocean Inlet, at the southern edge of the community where the Atlantic and St. Lucie Inlet meet, offers stunning water views. And the Condominiums at 2001 are beachfront living at its finest. Unit 2407 at Ocean Inlet / Condominiums at 2800 is the ultimate representation of Sailfish Point’s luxury condo offering. This extraordinary penthouse unit has sweeping ocean and river views, spreading out over 4,000-square-feet of living space with 3,300-square-feet of balconies and terraces. ![interior home at sailfish point with water view](/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/interior2-home-at-sailfish-point-enjoy-living-blog-min.jpg)## 2. Villas Villas are hot commodities at Sailfish Point, as they’re the perfect size for empty nesters who still need ample space for home offices or hosting family for extended stays. There are four distinct Villa sections showcasing a variety of different “micro” lifestyles. The Villas at Marina Point are perfect for golf-loving mariners. They offer private boat slips just steps from their front doors along with views of the golf course. Villas on the Greens are situated in the heart of Sailfish Point amid its [Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course](/golf/ "discover the golf course at sailfish point") and the shimmering lakes that frame its fairways and green complexes. And speaking of fairways, the Villas at Fairway Lakes overlook the 10th and 18th greens, the latter just steps from the Atlantic. Beach lovers will appreciate the Dunewalk Villas, with the Southview Creek flowing through their backyards and coastal breezes blowing off the ocean. With its towering ceilings and skylights, French doors and custom kitchen, 6941 S.E. Harbor Circle is the epitome of villa living at Sailfish Point.

Estate Homes With thousands of people leaving dense urban areas in high-tax states up north and out west, Sailfish Point’s average resident age is dropping quickly. Couples who can work remotely with kids in virtual learning, or empty nesters still going strong in their careers, now have the freedom to live where they choose. [Sailfish Point’s Estate Homes](/properties/single-family-homes/ "explore the homes at sailfish point") are the ultimate in single family luxury living. Ranging from 3,000 to 12,000-square-feet, they offer ample room to spread out over multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, indoor and outdoor living areas. New on the market is 6699 S.E.

However, even for those who’ve visited Sailfish Point and the surrounding Treasure Coast area several times, moving here full- or part-time is decidedly different than spending just a few days or weeks. Consider: winter highs around Martin County are anywhere from 30 to 50 degrees warmer than in Northeastern and Midwestern cities, and even 20-30 degrees warmer than the Mid-Atlantic. Culturally, South Florida is an exciting and eclectic mix of Caribbean and Hispanic cultures with a healthy dose of New York attitude and Southern hospitality mixed in for good measure. Finding sand in your shoes, pants pockets and car is a normal thing, and it’s no accident that almost every gas station has a car vacuum. Oh, and speaking of gas, it’s typically much cheaper down here. As are groceries, which by the way, are typically purchased at Publix in lieu of the Wegmans and Krogers our transplants are used to. And you heard it here first, the Publix bakery is the real deal. Ready to put the snow in your rearview mirror and your new [Sailfish Point address](/contact/ "to contact sailfish") in your GPS? Here are five tips to get you through this life-changing transition. ## 1. Simplify Your Wardrobe The days of storing your summer wardrobe are over in Southeast Florida, especially at Sailfish Point with the warm currents of the Gulf Stream passing by in the adjacent Atlantic Ocean. In fact, most of our residents shed the winter stuff entirely before moving down. Average highs in Stuart in December and January are in the mid-70s with lows in the high 50s and low 60s. By the time March rolls around, it’s back up into the 80s. But be sure to hold on to a few jackets, namely a light-weight coat and a couple grades of rain coats. Vests are also popular in the winter, and work well on the golf course, to boot. ## 2. Up Your Seafood Game With all due respect to the New England, Pacific and Pacific Northwest Coasts, there’s seafood, and then there’s *Florida seafood*. First off, our selection of fish is second to none. Grouper, mahi-mahi, snapper and flounder are regulars on menus around here. Secondly, there are shellfish aplenty, from freshly caught shrimp and locally harvested oysters to clams and calamari. Nearby Stuart is home to an array of amazing seafood joints, ranging from charming holes-in-the-wall to unapologetically upscale. Or, for “have appetite will travel” types, the famed eateries of the Palm Beaches are less than an hour away. Both the casual beach club and the formal dining room at Sailfish Point offer a level of dining that residents describe as “premiere” and “equal to a 5-star resort.” Add in an oceanfront view, and “staying home for dinner” is a popular option for our residents. Take-out and delivery service makes enjoying incredible clubhouse-cooked meals even more convenient. ![](/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/casual-beach-club-smooth-relocation-sailfish-blog-081621-min.jpg)## 3. See Your Doctor … Now Don’t panic – this is merely a strong suggestion for a preemptive visit. No doubt, during one of your many trips to scout out the Treasure Coast, generally, and Sailfish Point specifically, you likely noticed throngs of people out walking and biking, or playing, tennis, pickleball and golf. If any or all of these pursuits will be new for you upon touching down in the Sunshine State, you’ll want to consult with your doctor before jumping in head first. So why not get that out of the way in advance with your long-time, hometown physician? At Sailfish Point, active pursuits are limited only by your imagination.

Get Your Golf Game in Order At its core (literally and figuratively) Sailfish Point is a golf community. In fact, our Nicklaus design is ranked among the top 100 residential courses in the U.S. by Golfweek / USA Today. New residents who’ve moved here from points north are pleasantly surprised by just how many more rounds they’re able to play, annually. For many golfers, that means up to 10 times as 18-hole loops, which theoretically should be an opportunity to lower their handicaps. Golf members can turn theory into reality at the newly renovated and expanded practice facility and short game area. And starting this spring, Nicklaus Design will return to completely renovate the golf course, a comprehensive project that will further enhance playability for golfers of all skill levels. Reopening is scheduled for late fall in plenty of time for the peak golf season. ## 5.

Our Jack Nicklaus Signature Course has been named to the prestigious magazine’s 2021 list of the “Best Residential Courses” in the U.S. The annual selection of the country’s 200 top golf community-focused layouts is determined by Golfweek’s elite team of more than 850 course evaluators. Each year, the raters survey over 3,600 facilities, grading each in accordance with Golfweek’s 10 strict standards of evaluation. Sailfish Point ranks 100th on the influential list. “Golfweek is one of the industry’s longest running and most respected publications, and we’re honored to receive this recognition,” says Victor Tortorici, PGA Director of Golf at Sailfish Point. “Our operations and agronomy teams manage and maintain this course to championship standards, and the Nicklaus team’s design has truly stood the test of time.” Starting in the spring of 2021, the golf course will undergo the most comprehensive and impactful renovation in its storied 40-year history. Led by Nicklaus Design, the project will yield an eminently playable routing with strategic options for players of varying ages, abilities and ambitions. New forward tees will be installed on all 18 holes, creating a 4,500-layout optimized for slower swing speeds. In all, there will be six sets of tees capable of producing 10 different playing combinations. The back tees will stretch to 7,111 yards, enabling Sailfish Point to continue hosting competitive member and PGA sectional events. Steps away from the Sailfish Point Clubhouse and the first tee is a newly expanded and completely re-imagined practice facility and short-game area. Setting the standard for game improvement in South Florida, it features a 10,000-square-foot practice green, multiple target greens and expanded teeing areas on both the north and south ends of the range.

Hutchinson Island is bordered by the Indian River to the West and the Atlantic Ocean to the East; its southern boundary is the St. Lucie Inlet. The island is connected to the mainland by a fixed-span bridge, giving residents of Sailfish Point easy access to the city of Stuart. ## Hutchinson Island’s Rich History Historically known as the “Treasure Coast,” Spanish galleons once sailed along its calm shores. The story of Hutchinson Island and the Stuart area is a colorful one.Peaceful Native American tribes, rumrunners, farmers, and pirates were all drawn to the area for its unparalleled beauty, abundant fishing, and exotic coastal living. The waters along the coast of southeast Florida once served as a popular route for Spanish galleons returning from Mexico laden with treasure. The area earned its nickname after a Spanish treasure fleet sank here in 1715. That shipwreck, and others that followed, introduced explorers to the earliest known inhabitants of Hutchinson Island, the Native American Ais tribe. ## The Island’s Must-See Museums - The Elliott Museum—featuring antique vehicles, a large collection of signed baseball memorabilia, artwork by local and national artists, and home to a collection of Sterling Elliott’s inventions. - The House of Refuge Museum—listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the oldest structure on the Treasure Coast. Built in 1876 as one of ten houses originally intended to shelter shipwreck survivors and travelers along the lonely Atlantic coastline. The home later served as a WWII lookout station for enemy attacks. Today the structure houses a maritime museum of historic lifesaving equipment. - The Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center—a 57-acre site dedicated to education about and preservation of coastal marine environments. The Center, located on Hutchinson Island, houses the Florida Oceanographic Society’s headquarters and includes a 750,000-gallon game fish lagoon, a starfish touch tank pavilion, nature trails, a children’s activity pavilion, a stingray pavilion, and the Frances Langford Visitor’s Center.

A true private marina community offers much more than homes located near a marina. It integrates protected boat slips, [convenient marina services](/marina/ "Sailfish Point Marina"), residential access, and a [boating culture](/location/boating-fishing/ "Sailfish Point Boating and Fishing") into daily life. The best communities also combine waterfront living with amenities such as private clubs, [dining](/oceanfront-club/dining-experiences/ "Sailfish Point Dining Experiences"), [golf](/golf/golf-club/ "Sailfish Point Golf Club"), [wellness facilities](/oceanfront-club/#fitness-wellness "Sailfish Point Wellness Facilities"), and social programming, creating a lifestyle where boating becomes a natural extension of home rather than a separate destination. At Sailfish Point, the [private marina](/marina/ "Sailfish Point Marina") is located within the community itself, allowing residents to walk from their residence to their boat in minutes. ### Why does location matter when choosing a Florida marina community? Location determines how easily boat owners can reach open water, fishing grounds, cruising routes, and nearby destinations.

Many waterfront communities offer either boating or club amenities.

The combination of three distinct waterfronts, immediate inlet access, and an established private club creates a lifestyle that few Florida communities can match. ### What types of homes are available near the marina? Private marina communities often include a variety of luxury residences to accommodate different lifestyles. At Sailfish Point, buyers can choose from [oceanfront estates](/properties/single-family-homes/ "Sailfish Point Single-Family Homes"), waterfront homes with private docks, golf course residences, [luxury condominiums](/properties/condominiums/ "Sailfish Point Condominiums"), villas, and [townhomes](/properties/townhomes/ "Sailfish Point Villas and Townhomes").

[The Bahamas](/location/boating-fishing/ "Sailfish Point Boating and Fishing") are approximately 110 nautical miles away, making them a practical destination for experienced boaters seeking extended cruising adventures. ### Who is a private marina community best suited for?

MartinArts is a local organization that strives to advocate for creators and celebrate the individuality of artists. Part of the celebration aspect is to help curate local events such as ArtsFest, MartinArts Awards, and Fine Art Exhibits. Downtown Stuart is a frequent host of these art festivals, including the Annual Downtown Stuart Art Festival. For those who prefer more action, live entertainment abounds throughout the year, indoors and out. The exquisitely restored Lyric Theatre attracts national acts spanning from multi-Grammy-award winning Blues artist Keb’ Mo’ to comedian Patton Oswalt. The Barn Theater is also a local favorite for a variety of live stage performances. Every Sunday from 1 PM to 4 PM in Downtown Stuart, The Riverwalk Stage hosts free concerts for its year-round Rock’n Riverwalk, where locals gather, dance, and picnic along the water. ## Exciting Entertainment and Local Events From local events to stadium seats, the Treasure Coast is packed with entertainment for every age group and interest. Each year downtown hosts the Stuart Boat Show where vendors from one hundred miles around flock to the riverside with their best offerings and latest maritime technology. The Stuart Air Show is another weekend filled with historical exhibits and incredible performances in the sky! If you are in the mood for live music, stay local at Terra Fermata in Stuart or take a short drive to iThink Financial Amphitheater in West Palm Beach for outdoor concerts. While in West Palm, check out Drive Shack and test your skills with their virtual golf and games! The best places for shooting sports are Quail Creek Shooting Center and OK Corral, both located in Okeechobee. Hobe Sound and Palm Beach polo clubs are also nearby. If it’s a baseball game you want to catch this weekend, then Rodger Dean Stadium in Jupiter or The Ball Park of the Palm Beaches are where you’ll want to be!

Downtown Stuart’s streetscape is dotted with cafés, coffee shops, and upscale dining spots. From The Gafford’s local fares to the nightly sunsets at Sailors Return, the oysters and cocktails at Riverwalk Café and Oyster Bar or Stuart Boathouse, the dining experiences are plentiful. Just outside of historic Downtown Stuart, you’ll discover delightful restaurants sprinkled across Stuart, Port Salerno, and Hobe Sound. The Chef’s Table is known for inspiring dishes and unique flavors. The District Table is a popular choice for its handcrafted menu and specialty cocktails. Kork in Hobe Sound is a tucked away treat serving incredible global flavors and locally grown ingredients. On Hutchinson Island, locals are quick to recommend Hutchinson Shores’ Drift Kitchen and Kyle G’s for oceanfront dining. Neighboring Jensen Beach has its own hidden gems including 11 Maple Street, Peter’s Steak House, and The Dolphin Bar and Shrimp House, which was founded by movie star, Frances Langford. ## Treat Yourself to a Shopping Day On Downtown Stuart’s main street, you are invited to browse local boutiques for clothing and décor like resort wear from Monkee’s, shop women’s apparel and home accessories at April Daze, peruse the coastal and boho wares at The GypSea Cottage, and visit the “purveyors of cool stuff” at Earth Tones. From footwear at Sandal Shack and Tootsies, there is much to discover along the streets of this historic downtown area.

Miles of waterways invite exploration of diverse ecosystems and provide sights like unique native botanicals and wildlife. ## An Angler’s Dream If fishing is a passion, anglers have direct access to a wide world of deep water, reef, trolling, and drop fishing. With the meeting of the Intracoastal Waterway, the Indian River, and the Atlantic Ocean, Martin County is a renowned fishing mecca. The area’s waters are teeming with mahi mahi, wahoo, kingfish, tarpon, bonefish, snook, redfish, sea trout, and most famously, the sailfish. Its abundant local presence has led to Stuart’s designation as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.” ## Set Course for the Bahamas If you decide to try your chances elsewhere, a quick run to the West End, Bahamas gets you into the heart of the islands. Just 55 miles east of Sailfish Point’s Marina, even more marlin, mahi, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna can be found around the islands. Should you try for the shallows and surrounding reefs, you might find a snook, permit, bonefish, snapper, or grouper on the other end of your line. ## Aqua Sports Galore The local waterways are ideal for early morning boat rides and evening cocktail cruises with friends. While many residents of the Treasure Coast spend their weekends motor boating, a growing number have found their love for stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, and sailing. The saltwater flats between the Intracoastal Waterway and Hutchinson Island are protected by a series of spoil islands, creating a safe environment for exploring.
