St. Regis Bahia Mar: When the Marina Becomes Part of the Residence

Intro

Most waterfront residences offer a view of the water. St. Regis Bahia Mar is attempting something materially different: making access to the water part of the ownership experience itself.

For buyers considering Bahia Mar, the marina is not simply scenery. The project combines a 250-slip deepwater marina, direct ocean access and a complimentary Yacht Club membership for residents. St. Regis Bahia Mar

You may not need to own the yacht

The Yacht Club program includes access to a fleet of yachts, licensed captains and crews, concierge trip planning, catering and customized excursions. The program describes trips ranging from shorter cruises and fishing experiences to multiday itineraries in South Florida and the Bahamas. St. Regis Bahia Mar

That changes the buyer proposition.

A buyer who enjoys boating but does not want the capital commitment, maintenance or logistics of yacht ownership may still be able to incorporate boating into everyday life.

The marina itself matters

Bahia Mar’s marina includes 250 deepwater slips and can accommodate vessels up to 350 feet, placing the residence within one of Fort Lauderdale’s most established yachting environments. St. Regis Bahia Mar

RET view

RET does not treat the marina merely as an amenity.

For the right buyer, it can change:

• how frequently the waterfront is actually used;
• whether yacht ownership is necessary;
• how the project compares with conventional oceanfront buildings;
• and which competing properties belong in the buyer’s true consideration set.

Worth Knowing

The practical value of Yacht Club access will depend on availability, booking rules, included versus à-la-carte services and how frequently an owner intends to use it.

Those details should be verified for the specific residence and ownership structure before purchase.

Ask RET for the current Bahia Mar availability and a comparison with other Fort Lauderdale waterfront options.

Program details to confirm

The official developer amenities page was checked October 15, 2026. The membership is described as complimentary; this does not establish that yacht trips, catering or every service is free. The developer describes a proposed program, subject to final offering documents and operating terms. Marina slips are separately leased, subject to availability and charges.
