About Port Royal
Port Royal is an established luxury waterfront neighborhood at the southern end of the City of Naples, positioned between Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Originally developed by John Glenn Sample beginning in the mid-20th century, the neighborhood was designed around an extensive network of canals and waterways that allowed residences to take advantage of Naples’ coastal setting. Today, Port Royal is characterized by substantial custom estates, mature landscaping and some of the largest and most distinctive residential properties in Naples, with homes situated directly on the Gulf, Naples Bay and interior waterways.
Boating is fundamental to the Port Royal lifestyle. Many residences offer private docks and direct access to Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, with waterways capable of accommodating substantial vessels depending on the individual property. The neighborhood is also closely associated with the private Port Royal Club, where owners of eligible properties have the opportunity to pursue membership for beach, dining, fitness, spa, tennis and social amenities. Despite its private residential atmosphere, Port Royal remains convenient to Third Street South, Fifth Avenue South, Naples beaches, dining, shopping and the cultural attractions of Downtown Naples.

Port Royal Amenities
Port Royal is not a conventional master-planned community with one amenity package automatically included with every home. Instead, its lifestyle is built around waterfront residential ownership, private boating and the separately operated Port Royal Club, along with the neighborhood’s proximity to the Gulf and Downtown Naples.
Boating is one of Port Royal’s defining features. An extensive system of canals connects waterfront properties with Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, and many residences have substantial private docks directly behind the home. Depending on the property’s location, dock configuration, water depth and surrounding waterways, residences can accommodate a wide variety of vessels, including larger yachts. Serious boaters should evaluate each property individually because waterfront characteristics can vary considerably even within Port Royal.
The waterways themselves also involve an important ownership consideration. Portions of the Port Royal canal system are included within a City of Naples special assessment district established to support canal dredging and navigability. Buyers of waterfront properties should verify whether the individual residence is within the applicable district and review any associated assessments as part of their property-specific due diligence.
The Port Royal Club provides an additional lifestyle option for owners of eligible properties who elect to become members. Located directly on the Gulf along Gordon Drive, the private members-only beach club offers beach access along with dining, spa, fitness, tennis and social facilities. Because the Club operates separately from residential ownership, buyers should evaluate current membership eligibility, joining requirements, dues and other Club obligations independently from the purchase of the home.
Private amenities at individual residences are equally important to the Port Royal lifestyle. Estates commonly incorporate swimming pools and spas, expansive outdoor living areas, outdoor kitchens, landscaped courtyards, guest accommodations, substantial garages and private waterfront facilities. Because homes are individually designed rather than based on standardized community plans, the amenities, architecture and outdoor environments can differ dramatically from one property to another.
Port Royal’s location provides another important lifestyle advantage. Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South are nearby, giving residents convenient access to Downtown Naples restaurants, boutiques, galleries and entertainment. Gulf beaches, Naples Pier and other coastal destinations are also readily accessible, allowing Port Royal to combine a private estate setting with proximity to the historic and cultural center of Naples.
For buyers, Port Royal’s defining combination is ultimately waterfront estate living, exceptional boating access, individually designed luxury residences and optional access to one of Naples’ longstanding private beach clubs, all within minutes of Downtown Naples.
