Sunseeker Resort, a 785-room waterfront resort in Charlotte Harbor, Florida, has applied for a permit to build a 17-acre marina. The proposed marina would include 250 wet slips, 50 dry slips, a fuel dock, a ship’s store, and a restaurant.

The marina would be located on the south side of the resort, adjacent to the existing beach club. It would be accessible to both Sunseeker Resort guests and the public.

The permit application is currently being processed by the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners. If approved, construction on the marina could begin in early 2024 and be completed in late 2025.
