About Royal Harbor

Royal Harbor is one of Naples’ original boating communities; it was initially developed in the 1950s.

Today, the beautiful community consists of about 450 single-family waterfront homes nestled on the east side of Naples Bay. The quiet streets in Royal Harbor are ideal for privacy and relaxation, and Naples Beach is less than three miles away with plenty of public access points.

Navigable interconnected deep-water canals provide residents with access to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. All of the waterfront homes have boat docks with direct, no-bridge access to the Gulf through Gordon Pass.

Challenges of Building Waterfront Homes

Florida’s coastal shores offer many fantastic and diverse options for waterfront living, and Royal Harbor is one of the finest.

However, some challenges come with owning waterfront property, including erosion-causing storm surges, UV damage to materials, corrosion of aluminum and steel, and deterioration caused by marine borers that attack wood in marine environments. Decks or docks may rot or break as time passes and, if not built with quality materials, they can become a safety hazard to your family or visitors.

It’s essential to choose building materials that are resistant to water, moisture, salt, and sun, as well as stainless steel, powder-coated aluminum, rebar with special coatings, and other materials that prevent oxidization.

CGU Homes stays current with constantly changing waterfront construction regulations and stays educated on the environment and how we can be effective and efficient as we work in these areas.

Our team utilizes the best waterproofing methods to ensure your home will be safe from water intrusion. We never skip a step when it comes to installing high-performance, air-tight windows and doors, weatherproofing, and other processes that will safeguard your waterfront home in Royal Harbor.
