Boat Life in Ponte Vedra Beach
Water plays a big role in the Northeast Florida lifestyle, and there are plenty of ways to enjoy it. In this episode, the Lisa Barton Team explores boating, paddle boarding, and waterfront communities along the Intracoastal Waterway with help from Freedom Boat Club.
Boating and Waterfront Living in Ponte Vedra Beach and Northeast Florida
For many people moving to Northeast Florida, life on the water is a major draw. Whether it’s a quiet paddle down a tidal creek, a sunset cruise with friends, or weekends spent fishing, boating is a central part of the lifestyle here. In this episode of Discover Ponte Vedra, Lisa Barton and team member Tanya O’Quinn team up with Luke Bickerstaff from Freedom Boat Club to explore how residents can enjoy life on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Living on the Intracoastal Waterway
Communities like Channelside and Marina San Pablo offer direct access to the water, with homes and condos that come with private boat slips. At Channelside, residents can walk from their living room to their dock and be on the water in minutes, perfect for a peaceful trip to the Guana Reserve or a casual afternoon on the boat. Marina San Pablo offers luxury living with high ceilings, water views, and amenities like a private fitness center and pool.
Freedom Boat Club: A Simple Way to Get on the Water
Not everyone wants to own and maintain a boat, which is where Freedom Boat Club comes in. Members pay a one-time initiation fee and monthly dues, gaining access to a fleet of boats at multiple locations including Jacksonville Beach, Julington Creek, and St. Augustine. The club takes care of maintenance, fueling, and storage, allowing members to show up and go.
Freedom Boat Club also provides boating lessons, making it a great option for beginners. Whether you’re new to boating or just short on time, the club’s “boating made simple” approach helps members focus on fun and connection instead of logistics.
Everyday Adventures on the Water
Life along the Intracoastal offers endless ways to unwind. Residents enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and even docking at waterfront restaurants. With natural preserves like the Guana Reserve just a short ride away, it’s easy to find peaceful spots that reflect the beauty of old Florida.
A Lifestyle That Never Gets Old
For Lisa Barton and many others, boating is more than a hobby, it’s a way to relax, entertain, and connect with nature. Whether you own a boat or join a club, life on the water is part of what makes Ponte Vedra Beach and the surrounding area such a special place to live.
