Sarasota’s Quay Harbor Enters a New Era with The Opening of Kokomo Yacht Club

Sarasota’s waterfront continues to evolve as The Quay marks another milestone in its transformation into the city’s premier luxury destination. The recently updated marina docks—by master developer GreenPointe Developers—are now open, and the first tenant to join the revitalized harbor is the Kokomo Yacht Club. The addition delivers an elevated new Yachting experience to downtown Sarasota.

“The Quay is quickly becoming one of Sarasota’s most dynamic waterfront destinations,” says Mike Taylor, President of GreenPointe Developers Lifestyle Construction division. “With the newly enhanced marina and the arrival of Kokomo Yacht Club, we’re creating more opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy Sarasota Bay while maintaining the refined character and exclusivity of this community.”

The addition of Kokomo Yacht Club reflects The Quay’s broader vision of thoughtfully blending lifestyle amenities, curated retail, and dining with private waterfront access. Designed as a membership-only offering, the club provides a new level of convenience and flexibility for those who value time on the water—while preserving the sense of privacy and sophistication that defines the area.

Yachting Flexibility Delivered Through Membership Offering

Kokomo Yacht Club Members enjoy access to a curated fleet of luxury Yachts, each meticulously maintained and prepared for seamless adventures on Sarasota Bay and beyond. Whether setting out for a quick island escape, an evening cocktail cruise, or an all-day excursion, the club makes spontaneous outings as effortless as reserving your preferred Yacht and walking down the dock.

Importantly, the experience is designed for privacy and exclusivity. Unlike high-traffic public rental marinas, Kokomo Yacht Club operates as a boutique membership offering with limited availability, ensuring members receive personalized service and easy access to the fleet.

The Quay Sarasota’s Waterfront Renaissance

With its mix of fine dining, boutique retail, cultural attractions, and expanded marina access, The Quay Sarasota is quickly emerging as the region’s most vibrant walkable waterfront destination. For residents of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay, this synergy offers an elevated lifestyle where city energy and waterfront serenity converge.

“The energy around The Quay has been incredible,” shares Ed Jahn, Senior Vice President at Kolter Urban, development manager of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay. “With Ocean Prime dining, the adjacent Bay Sarasota park, and now the addition of the Kokomo Yacht Club, we’re seeing this area evolve into the most desirable luxury district in Sarasota. The upgraded marina creates a seamless connection between the waterfront lifestyle our buyers value and the conveniences they expect from a walkable, downtown address.”

The result is a rare balance: a world-class location offering vibrant city living paired with the ease and privacy of an exclusive residential enclave. For owners, Sarasota Bay becomes an extension of their backyard—inviting adventure by water or quiet moments at the edge of the harbor.

Construction Progressing at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay

Momentum continues to build along Sarasota’s waterfront as vertical construction advances on The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay. The 20-story tower is rising quickly, with the seventh level recently poured and the elevated amenity deck beginning to take shape. From its prime position at the harbor’s edge, the skyline is transforming daily as cranes move gracefully above the bay, marking an exciting chapter for this landmark residential offering.

Designed to maximize panoramic views of Sarasota Bay, the collection features 78 grand residences and penthouses, each thoughtfully planned to blend expansive indoor living with generous private terraces. Every detail reflects an unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, and thoughtful design, creating a lifestyle experience worthy of the Ritz-Carlton legendary brand.

Distinguishing the community as Sarasota’s premier address, a 20,000 sf Harbor Club will enhance an exceptional level of private amenities never before experienced in the region. Spanning two phases along the scenic harborside promenade, the private Harbor Club will feature bespoke spaces for dining, wellness, and social connection—each thoughtfully orchestrated under the renowned service of The Ritz-Carlton Ladies & Gentlemen.
