A Naples waterfront home is a dream — and a purchase with details most buyers never think to check. Here is the short list we run before you commit.
Gulf access vs. canal
Not all waterfront is equal. Confirm whether the home has true, direct Gulf access or a longer, bridge-restricted route.
Bridges & clearances
Fixed bridges limit the size of boat you can run. As a USCG-licensed captain, our team assesses bridge clearances and channel depths in person.
Seawall & dock permits
Check seawall condition and that docks and lifts are properly permitted — repairs and permitting can be costly surprises after closing.
Flood zone & insurance
Waterfront means flood-zone scrutiny. We review FEMA maps, elevation certificates, and real insurance quotes before you make an offer.
