The advisor’s guide to deep-water boating without the Port Royal price.
The same bridge-free Gordon Pass yacht access as Port Royal, a 2026 median of $10.4M, and a walk to Third Street South. Here is how Aqualane Shores actually works.

Which tier fits is a function of whether you boat, how much frontage you use, and what you’re optimizing for. We’ll tell you when an interior lot serves you better than stretching for canal.
The entry to Aqualane: the address and the walkability, without the waterfront premium.
The heart of Aqualane and the reason most buyers are here: a private dock with bridge-free access to open water.
The top of Aqualane, where frontage and long water views command the largest numbers.
Aqualane against Port Royal, or a canal lot against an interior one? Thirty minutes, no script, and we’ll tell you which fits and what’s available, including quietly.
Aqualane Shores sits just south of Third Street South, a compact grid of deep canals that run out to Naples Bay and Gordon Pass. It borders Olde Naples to the north and Port Royal to the south, putting the shops and restaurants of Third Street within a short walk of a private dock.
Every home in Aqualane Shores qualifies for something no other team here offers: our Coastal Estate Branding system. At this level, presentation drives price. An Aqualane estate sold as a named, branded property, not just another listing, commands attention a standard listing never reaches.
Because the best Aqualane sales often happen quietly, the entire program can be deployed privately, building demand among qualified buyers before your home ever reaches the public market. Branding and discretion are not opposites here. Together, they are how the best coastal estates sell.

Olde Naples is more walkable still, but trades away the deep-water dock. Aqualane gives you both the boat and a walk to Third Street South.
The Moorings offers bay boating and beach at a lower entry, but not Aqualane’s bridge-free Gordon Pass access to open water.
The Deed Record
Beyond the photographs, Aqualane Shores keeps a paper trail: every recorded sale since 1960, who owns each of the 354 parcels, and what the teardown-rebuild cycle actually pays. We built the full county-record analysis and published it.

The 2026 median single-family sale price is $10.4M, with interior lots entering lower and prime bay-front and wide-water estates trading well above. As in Port Royal, the biggest price driver is water: bridge-free Gordon Pass access and linear feet of frontage move price more than house size.
Between Olde Naples and Port Royal, just south of Third Street South. Aqualane Shores is a compact grid of deep canals running out to Naples Bay and Gordon Pass, bordered by Olde Naples to the north and Port Royal to the south, which puts the shops and restaurants of Third Street within a short walk of a private dock.
Aqualane Shores is a canal-front neighborhood of single-family homes in Naples, Florida 34102, laid out on deep, bridge-free canals that reach the Gulf through Gordon Pass. It shares Port Royal’s boating and sits a walk from Third Street South, with a 2026 median single-family sale price of $10.4M. It is the Naples address for a serious boat and a walkable evening.
Both offer the same bridge-free Gordon Pass boating. Port Royal is the larger, more expensive enclave with its own Club (2026 median $17.28M); Aqualane, just north, generally costs less ($10.4M median), has no Club, and adds a walk to Third Street South. If you want the deep-water access without the top of the price band or the institution, Aqualane usually fits better.
Yes. Aqualane’s canals reach the Gulf through Gordon Pass with no fixed bridges, the identical deep-water access that anchors Port Royal next door. A large yacht runs from a private dock to open water in minutes, which is the single feature that most defines the neighborhood and its pricing.
Yes, and it is one of Aqualane’s defining advantages over Port Royal. Tucked just south of Third Street South, Aqualane puts its shops, galleries, and restaurants within a short walk, so you can keep a yacht at a private dock and still stroll to dinner, something the Port Royal point cannot offer.
Aqualane Shores is not a gated community; it is an open, established neighborhood of private waterfront estates. There is no mandatory condo-style HOA and no club membership requirement, part of what gives Aqualane its quieter, lower-formality character compared with Port Royal.
Aqualane has held value because its core asset, bridge-free Gordon Pass access on a fixed, built-out grid of canals, cannot be replicated. That said, value varies sharply by lot, so “Aqualane” alone isn’t the whole story; the specific canal width, frontage, and exposure are what matter. We help you weigh each property on those specifics, not on the neighborhood name alone.
Inventory is structurally low: a small, fully built-out enclave of owners who rarely need to sell. As in Port Royal, a meaningful share of Aqualane sales also happen privately, before any public listing, so the MLS understates true activity. Working with an advisor who sees off-market flow matters more here than in most neighborhoods.
