Royal Harbor
ROYAL HARBOR NAPLES REAL ESTATE
Royal Harbor real estate is located on the east side of Naples Bay and minutes from Old Naples and is one of the original boating communities in Naples. Construction began in the 1950s here. Homes today vary from small and original to new and exquisite and have experienced an enormous influx of tear-down and new construction since 1997 through today.
Originally, prospects who considered Port Royal or Aqualane Shores and opted out for either price or acceptance reasons chose Royal Harbor as a viable alternative. Today, acceptance into Port Royal is not as difficult to come by, but many still choose Royal Harbor due to pricing constraints in other Naples, Florida boating communities. If you’re looking at purchasing a fabulous waterfront property, Royal Harbor is a great place to consider.
Many of the most desirable homes are located on Naples Bay or offer direct, bridge-less Gulf access. Living so close to the Gulf of Mexico enables residents to head out to the open water quickly and as often as they like.

Royal Harbor Boating Communities
Many boating enthusiasts like Royal Harbor because it offers deeper water for docking and bridge-less access to the Gulf of Mexico. Close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico via Naples Bay is another reason why serious boaters who don’t want to spend an enormous amount make this location their home.
If you enjoy a day out on the boat doing some fishing, this is a great location to go from. You’ll find plenty of great fishing spots around Naples, but it’s also a short cruise down to the Everglades for some truly beautiful views and abundant fishing spots.
The Vanderbilt Beach area is another location where you may be able to find waterfront properties at less expensive prices, but there is a bridge and water depths there can be very shallow compared to Royal Harbor, which will limit you on the type of boat you can keep there. If you’re planning on a bigger boat that requires more draft or sits higher out of the water, you might consider Port Royal and Aqualane Shores.
