The Marina · 12 Private Slips
Twelve private marina slips arc the waterfront directly in front of the pool deck, with Gulf access via Matlacha Pass — no locks, no bridges, no waiting. Cape Coral's identity is waterfront boating. Lake Shadroe puts residents in the center of that culture — not watching it from a balcony window, but living inside it every day.
The Slips
The marina is a single arc of twelve slips, integrated into the same waterfront curve as the pool deck and the restaurant. Walking distance from every residence in the tower.
Slip dimensions: [CONFIRM with Koen: exact slip lengths and widths — likely a mix supporting boats up to a specific LOA]
Services: [CONFIRM with Koen: shore power amperage (30A vs 50A), water hookups, pump-out service, fueling on-site or nearby]
Draft at MLLW: [CONFIRM with Koen: controlling depth at low tide for the slip basin and the channel out to Matlacha Pass]
Gulf Access
From the slip out to open Gulf water through Matlacha Pass is an unbroken run — no manatee zones with the slow wake-down at sunset, no fixed bridges that limit air draft, no locks. For most of Cape Coral's canal-side housing stock that's not the case; getting a sailboat or a tower boat to the Gulf can take 30 minutes of no-wake idle.
Approximate run to open Gulf: [CONFIRM with Koen: time/distance from slip to open Gulf water by typical cruiser speed]
Matlacha Pass itself is a state-protected aquatic preserve — see The Preserve for the wildlife and quiet-water side of the same waterway.
For Residents
[CONFIRM with Koen: slip ownership structure — are slips deeded with specific units, leased per year, first-come for owners, or rotated?]
Slip pricing: [CONFIRM with Koen: slip lease price (annual or monthly) for owners vs. non-owners]
Maintenance & insurance: [CONFIRM with Koen: who handles maintenance of the slip basin, dock surfaces, lighting; insurance carrier and what residents need to carry on their own vessel]
