Fishermens Bay Community Guide

Fishermens Bay is a community in Sarasota, built 1989-2022.

Fishermens Bay Real Estate in Sarasota, FL

Fishermen’s Bay homes for sale sit in a small gated enclave, 17 to 20 custom waterfront estates spread across 22 acres on Sarasota’s southern end, West of the Trail. Key West style dominates here, floor plans running around 3,000 square feet, most on oversized lots up to a full acre with mature oaks and lush landscaping. No CDD applies, and homes come with deeded boat slips leading straight into the Intracoastal and out to the Gulf.

A 75 foot community pier gives residents a spot for fishing or launching a kayak, plus picnic grounds along the water. The gate sits tucked behind heavy tree cover, so the whole neighborhood feels hidden despite being minutes from Westfield Sarasota Square, Costco, and the Legacy Trail. Families have access to strong public and private schools nearby, including Pine View for gifted students.
