Benefits of Waterfront Real Estate with Deep Boating

MARATHON, Fla. - Nov. 30, 2016 - PRLog -- Per Brenda Alexander, Broker/Associate at Remax and owner of KeysIslandSales.com in Marathon Florida,"Everyone knows waterfront real estate to be among the most valuable in the residential housing market. It's particularly valuable when located in a highly desirable destination location.

So, what's the difference between waterfront property offering deep boating compared to property that does not have the same feature? Well, water depth is its own currency and there are a number of good reasons why this is so.

Here are the benefits of waterfront real estate with deep boating:

● Shallow water depth means big limitations. In the world of deep boating, the three-foot measurement is an important one because of boat draft in motion and while docked stationary. For small vessels, this isn't usually a concern, because small boats generally have little draft (the amount of the hull in the water). So, for small vessels, this doesn't present a problem. But for large boats, particularly sailboats, water depth at low tide should be more than 3 feet. Otherwise, the hull will drag across the bottom and become damaged.

● Space to make turns. In addition to needing a deep draft to accommodate larger vessels, deep boating provides the necessity of making turns. Here again, this is not generally a problem when it comes to small boats, but large vessels need more space to turn.

● Ability to dock different sized vessels. Once again, small boats can be docked just about anywhere. This is because of their shallow draft needs and ability to turn in tighter, less deep spaces. This simply isn't the case with much larger sea vessels, which require ample room to maneuver, as well as dock.

● Available recreation. You wouldn't dive into a pool nearly drained of water or into a shallow pool. But that's precisely the risk taken when the tide is out on non-deep boating waterfront properties. Deep boating waterfront property provides homeowners and their guests with the ability to enjoy the water for recreation of all kinds, regardless if the tide is in or is out.

The bottom line is, deep boating waterfront property provides more function and increased accommodation for different sized vessels. This makes it more ideal for buyers looking for better amenities.
