About Snug Harbor:

Snug Harbor remains as one of the most desirable locations in Stuart, FL. Located on the wide Saint Lucie River just east of the city of Stuart Florida is this unique subdivision.

Snug Harbor was the vision of a group of 10 Yachtsmen, many former Commodores of the Chicago Yacht Club back in 1943. They bought the land and platted the area in September 1944.  Then formed the Snug Harbor Corporation, which controlled the ownership of the lots.

In 1975 the deeds were distributed and/or sold to the current owners. A condominium form of ownership was established under the name of the Snug Harbor Yacht Club. Snug Harbor contained both waterfront and non-waterfront homes and estates.  All very conveniently located just minutes away from the ocean by boat or car and also convenient to downtown Stuart, offices, restaurants and recreational areas.

Snug Harbor is one of the finest communities in Martin County. There are only 72 home sites with a clubhouse, deep water marina, boat ramp, trailer parking and tennis courts. There is an active association with social activities year-round that make this community a very attractive place to call home.
