Sunset Isle Yacht Club, located on Okaloosa Island on the south side of Choctawhatchee Bay, is now accepting boaters for their new, luxury marina that is the only full-service marina in Northwest Florida that can provide mooring for yachts up to 300-feet.
Spanning over nine acres on the Choctawhatchee Bay, situated on a 12-foot wide by 1,400-foot-long pier, Sunset Isle’s Marina features 144 slips ranging from 40-feet to 120-feet in length, and up to 26-feet wide.
The Marina offers a variety of amenities for boaters and members that sets it apart from others in the area, including two separate, ultra high-speed fueling stations, shore power from 30 to 200 AMPs, in slip pump out system, 30,000 to 50,000-pound Neptune first class vessel lifts with up to 120,000-pound lifts available, as well as oversized finger-pier walkways extending to the end of each slip so owners can have access to the entire vessel, bow to stern.
The marina also offers 24-hour video surveillance so owners can view their boat from their phone or computer. In addition to the amenities, the location of the marina is ideal for an avid boater. Sunset Isle is located directly off Highway 98 and is three miles from Crab Island and Harbor Walk Village. Boaters are also only three and half miles from the east pass to access the Gulf of Mexico.
“Being an owner of all types and size vessels for over 35 years, I feel this marina was designed to provide the newest bells and whistles to support anyone’s vessel from 25’ to 300’ in size,” said Sunset Isle owner, Robert Guidry.
The Marina, managed by Coastal Marine Management, will be led by general manager Bryan Rydzewski, who brings over 35 years of experience in the industry including 20 years as a marine law enforcement officer, a licensed 100-Ton Boat Captain, and Tow Boat Us owner.
“My specialty is opening new marinas and helping foster a sense of community among all of the boat owners,” Rydzewski said. “Sunset Isle is in a premier location and offers top-tier services that you won’t find anywhere else.”
While the rest of the yacht club is being developed, a private beach, ship store, restrooms, ice plant, and services building will all be available. Future plans for the yacht club include a resort-style pool, recreational facilities, lawn areas, full-service bar and restaurant, and much more.
Sunset Isle Resort and Yacht Club is now accepting new applications to fill the 144 marina slips. Please call (850) 500-2628 or visit www.sunsetisle.com to learn more and reserve a slip.
