Deep Water Dockage and Seawalls on Royal Palm Waterfront Homesites
Waterfront lots inside the club open onto canals with protected dockage and a short run to the Boca Inlet, which is a meaningful part of what the address is worth. Seawalls behind the original houses are often decades old, and a wall that held up a low-slung ranch may not carry a new residence and pool deck set close to the water. Condition and capacity are separate questions, and the second one takes an engineer.
Dock capacity follows from depth at the seawall and from canal width. Owners who intend to size up should build for the larger vessel during construction, since adding pile capacity afterward means cutting into finished hardscape. Cannatelli Builders works as a luxury home builder in Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club and engineers the marine scope with the residence, and owners can call to have a seawall assessed before an offer goes in.
