Sunset Isle Yacht Club will celebrate its grand opening with a public ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 2-5 p.m., introducing the region’s only marina capable of accommodating yachts up to 300 feet.

  • Located on Okaloosa Island’s south side along Choctawhatchee Bay, the facility features 142 marina slips equipped with modern amenities including two ultra high-speed fueling stations and shore power ranging from 30 to 200 AMPs.

The marina, situated three miles from Crab Island and Harbor Walk Village, offers oversized finger-pier walkways, 24-hour security with camera systems, and in-slip pump-out facilities. It also features Neptune vessel lifts capable of handling boats between 30,000 and 50,000 pounds.

Future development plans for the site include a resort-style pool, recreational facilities, lawn areas, and a full-service bar and restaurant.

  • The grand opening celebration welcomes visitors by both land and sea to tour the grounds. The facility is located at 1350 Miracle Strip Parkway, Okaloosa Island.

Managed by Coastal Marina Management, the marina is currently accepting applications for slip rentals. Interested boaters can call (850) 500-2628 or visit www.sunsetisle.com for more information.
