Boats for Sale in Rotonda West

A planned community

Rotonda West Association Inc., or Rotonda West (RWA) as it is commonly referred to gives a new definition to the turn around. Founded in 1974, this community was built with the design of a spoked wheel, with the center of the wheel being Parade Circle. It is the only such community in Florida, perhaps the United States, which appears as a giant crop circle when viewed from Arial photos. Unique, elite, and resting on the banks of the Gulf of Mexico, Rotonda West offers an exclusive market for boats for sale in Rotonda West.

The Basics

At its core, the Rotonda West is designed to increase the aesthetics of the area while at the same time providing a place to increase wildlife awareness and the quality of life for its residence. It is run by a board and has bylaws, and as such the various restrictions about the types of vessels which can be used upon the premises may change. Keep in mind that even though there are canals which circumvent the city as well as provide access to the various points of the area, they are not for leisure or for fishing, but only for a means of accessing the Gulf, and transporting your craft from point A to point B.

Pertaining to the canal and to those who live in Rotonda West, there are stipulations regarding boat parking, boat access, and boating restrictions. These are additional to the already standing laws and regulations of the state of Florida.

The Elite Edge

Because Rotonda West is, as their creed states, focused on the aesthetics of the designed community, boats for sale in Rotonda West will be aesthetically pleasing. It may sound a bit redundant, but think about it. Where other residential places will have a variance in the keep and care of the boats they offer, the boats for sale in Rotonda West must be up to par. Additionally, the types of boats which are offered will be of a higher quality. Expect to find the more luxurious boats, yachts, angler vessels, and “play toys” here.

Some boats for sale in Rotonda West have included Hatteras, Pursuit, Sea Hunt, Chaparral, Sea Ray, and Chris-Craft.

Docking

Purchasing boats for sale in Rotonda West does pose a bit of an issue when it comes to the storage and docking. Where other cities tend to have a dock or storage option for those who have purchased a craft, Rotonda has strict bylaws which prohibit anyone apart from residences to store their boats within the designed community. Granted, the seller will probably give you a grace period in which to find a dock, pick up the boat, and store it, but finding a nearby dock may not be as easy as one would think.

Docking may be acquired on Placida Rd., Near Don Pedro Island, Cape Haze, or in Grove City, so there is not too much of a drive needed.

Boating in the Gulf

When looking for boats for sale in Rotonda West, look for vessels which have a secondary anchor, wider beams, a center console, and a front D design to the hull. These features will make boating in the gulf easier. As the waters and the terrain under the waters varies, boats which do not have a large deep are preferred. To combat the adverse conditions of the Gulf, look for boats which have higher HP and multiple engines. Due to the elite nature of Rotonda West, the boats that you will find may have custom motors or “supped up” motors. Check the purchase date on such crafts as the motor may still be under warranty

Boating in the Gulf from Rotonda west will mean that you will need to get around Don Pedro Island, Gasparillia Island, Cape Haze, Bird Key, or Lemon Bay. While the island is not wide, it is long, so plan where you wish to access the gulf.
