Sailfish Point in Stuart: A 2026 Guide to Living at the Inlet
Quick answer: Sailfish Point sits on the southern tip of Hutchinson Island in Stuart, where the St. Lucie Inlet meets the Atlantic. It's a member-owned community of about 520 homes on 532 acres with a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, a deepwater marina for large yachts, beach on the ocean and a 24-hour manned gate. It's the only community on the Treasure Coast where golf, big-boat dockage and the beach all sit inside one gate.
Most communities make you choose: golf or boating or the beach. Sailfish Point was built on a peninsula so residents get all three. Here's what buyers should know in 2026.

The golf
The course is a Jack Nicklaus Signature design, par 72 and about 7,088 yards, and it was fully renovated in late 2021. Because the club is small and member-owned, there are no tee times. Members simply show up and play. The course is a certified Audubon sanctuary, and Golfweek has ranked it among the top residential courses in Florida.
The marina
The marina is the reason many owners choose Sailfish Point. It offers deepwater dockage, published slip counts vary a bit by source, but figure roughly 80 wet slips, handling yachts up to about 125 feet, with dry storage for smaller boats. From the docks it's minutes to the St. Lucie Inlet and open ocean, and about 75 miles to the west end of the Bahamas. There's also an active yacht club within the community.
Membership and fees
Sailfish Point is member-owned, and one thing that makes it simpler than most clubs: property-owner dues and club amenities are combined into a single annual bill, and the club has a no-tipping policy. Buyers pay a capital contribution at purchase (recently published at $75,000 by local brokerage sources), and golf membership is a separate optional initiation. Published fee figures vary and change yearly, so treat anything you read online as a starting point and confirm the current numbers directly with the club before you make an offer.
Homes and prices
The mix runs from marina-view condos and townhomes to golf-course homes and oceanfront estates. Recent pricing has ranged from about $1.5 million for condos to $40 million+ for the largest oceanfront properties. Security is a quiet selling point here: the gate is manned around the clock, and the security staff are trained first responders.
Getting in and out
Witham Field, Stuart's general-aviation airport, is about 15 minutes away, a big convenience for owners who fly private. Palm Beach International is under an hour. The restaurants and waterfront of downtown Stuart are just over the bridge, and the rest of Hutchinson Island stretches north with beaches and casual seafood spots.
