Deeded dock lots, marina slips and dry racks between Estero Bay and Wiggins Pass.
Bonita Springs offers something Naples does not: deeded waterfront dock lots you own outright, with no marina association, where you park at your own slip and add a lift. Alongside them are conventional wet and dry slips at Hickory Bay, Barefoot Boat Club and Bonita Bay Marina, and resident-only docks inside Barefoot Beach and Bonita Bay. Every slip below is currently for sale through the MLS; the guidance is from a Naples brokerage that boats these passes.
| Slip Types | Deeded dock lots (Little Hickory Shores), marina wet slips, dry racks with valet launch, resident-only community docks |
| Little Hickory Shores | Deeded land-and-dock lots south of Bonita Beach Road; no association, no dues, lifts permitted — the most sought-after slip product in Bonita |
| Marinas | Hickory Bay Boat House (wet and dry), Barefoot Boat Club (dry, indoor), Bonita Bay Marina on the Imperial River (vessels to 36 ft) |
| Resident Docks | Barefoot Beach, Bonita Bay, The Colony at Pelican Landing, Hibiscus Pointe and Ostego Bay — available only to owners in those communities |
| Gulf Access | New Pass and Big Hickory Pass to the north (shallow, tide-dependent); Wiggins Pass to the south; bridge-free routes from most locations |
| Price Range | Dry racks and marina slips from about $60,000; deeded dock lots at Little Hickory Shores from the low six figures to $400,000+ |
| What Sets Price | Deeded vs. marina, water depth at low tide, lift, distance to the pass, and whether the slip sits inside a gated community |

Request a Curated Selection of Bonita Springs Boat Slips
Draft is the question in Bonita: New Pass and Big Hickory Pass shoal, and the right slip depends on how much water your boat needs at low tide and which pass you will use.

Where Slips Are Sold in Bonita Springs
Little Hickory Shores, just south of Bonita Beach Road, is a neighborhood of deeded dock lots rather than a marina: you own the land, park in front of your slip, install a lift, and pay no association dues. Nothing comparable exists in Naples, which is why these lots draw buyers from across the county. Hickory Bay Boat House and Barefoot Boat Club nearby offer wet slips and indoor dry storage with fuel and service, minutes from New Pass. Bonita Bay Marina sits on the Imperial River inside Bonita Bay, with slips for vessels to 36 feet and a longer run to the Gulf through Estero Bay. Resident-only docks inside Barefoot Beach and The Colony convey with homes or condominiums there and rarely trade on their own.
Passes and Draft
Bonita's northern passes, New Pass and Big Hickory Pass, are natural and unjettied; channels shift and depths thin at low tide, so boats drawing more than three to four feet plan around the tide table. Wiggins Pass, maintained by Collier County, is the deeper and more reliable route for slips at the south end. For larger vessels, the bridge-free deep water of Naples Bay and Gordon Pass is 25 minutes south; see boat slips for sale in Naples.
