Marina Club in Key Largo Offers Lifetime 'Rackominium' Ownership for South Florida Boat Owners

MIAMI, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ --Since the beginning of South Florida's real estate boom and condominium conversion craze, local boat owners have watched helplessly as high-rises crowd out harbors and available marina slips steadily disappear. Fortunately, The Marina Club at Blackwater Sound, Key Largo is now giving boat lovers another option. With the recent launch of Phase II of its expansion, The Marina Club is now making lifetime "rackominium" ownership available to the public.

A new twist on traditional boat storage options, a "rackominium" at The Marina Club combines the efficacy of rack storage with the convenience of a full-service marina slip. With just a touch on a speed dial, a quick fax or a website click, rackominium owners ensure that their boat is transferred from housing, fully fueled and supplied with gourmet meal options...all in the time it takes them to travel to the marina.

"We refer to our racks as 'rackominiums' because they really do offer all the amenities one would expect from a luxurious condominium, except the service is centered on the owner's boating experience," explained Judy Collins, Director of Sales for The Marina Club at Blackwater Sound. "A 'concierge' drives a golf cart out to greet owners upon their arrival, our 'valets' provide unlimited in-and-out service, and our 'butlers' are here to ensure the most delicious meal options are delivered straight to the boat's deck or cabin."

Although The Marina Club's services are designed with finer tastes in mind, its promise of lifetime guaranteed marina access is a need for which an increasing number of South Florida boaters can relate. As Florida's population continues to swell with people searching for a home in a sunny, waterfront paradise, many marinas are finding it ever-more difficult to turn down skyrocketing real estate offers to develop their land. Even when a developer decides to retain the marina, it is often converted for private use by the high-rise's residents, and lessees are left out of the water and in the cold.

Many boaters have already realized the wisdom in owning, as opposed to leasing, the housing for their boat. Phase I of The Marina Club's rackominium offer quickly sold out. Phase II is scheduled for completion in January and occupancy within the first quarter of 2007. Phase II's storage facilities can accommodate boats from 18 to 40 feet and range in price from $49,900 to the mid $130,000s.

In addition to the feeling of security that comes with lifetime ownership, The Marina Club's patrons enjoy a location that is minutes from the world- famous John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and just 15 minutes from the open ocean. Ownership also guarantees them an up-to-25% discount, based on availability, on room rates at the Marriott Key Largo Bay Beach Resort next door, as well as access to an air-conditioned Club House that boasts satellite TV, high-speed Internet access, gourmet snacks and an array of general ship store supplies.
