AQUA at Westshore Yacht Club is the only luxury condominium in Tampa where residents can access a private marina with 175 deep-water slips, two waterfront restaurants, a tiki bar, resort pools, and a full-service Bay Club – all included with purchase for the first year, steps from their front door.
Most luxury condominiums offer amenities. For buyers evaluating the Tampa luxury condo market, this dual-layer offering – building amenities plus optional club access – fundamentally changes the calculus.
While competitors offer rooftop pools and fitness centers, AQUA residents step outside their building and into one of Tampa Bay’s most established waterfront club communities. The Bay Club at Westshore Yacht Club has been operating for decades. Its culture, its staff, its rhythms – all already in place when you arrive.
The Bay Club is the members-only social and waterfront club at the heart of Westshore Yacht Club – an established Tampa marina community on the shores of Tampa Bay. For AQUA residents, one year of Bay Club membership is included with purchase (terms may apply), opening access to an amenity set that extends far beyond what any building can offer on its own.
Bay Club membership includes:
This is not a hotel amenity deck or a shared rooftop. It is a full-service members-only club with a waterfront dining scene, a working marina, and an events program that draws on years of established community culture.
Access to a private marina is one of the rarest differentiators in the Tampa luxury condo market. Most waterfront condominiums offer views of the water. AQUA residents can board their vessel and be on Tampa Bay within minutes of leaving their residence.
The Westshore Yacht Club marina is a 175-slip deep-water facility accommodating vessels up to 108 feet. It is operated as a members-only marina – not a public dock or a shared commercial facility. Dock services, boat utilities, and waterfront amenities function as seamless extensions of residential life, not separate commercial operations the public can access.
According to recent market analysis from The Agency Real Estate, premium waterfront properties with integrated boat amenities continue to command significant premiums over comparable inland properties – and attract notably faster buyer interest in the luxury segment. A private marina is not a lifestyle preference; it is a long-term asset differentiator.
From AQUA’s address surrounding the growing Westshore Marina District, the water connects residents to a range of destinations: dockside dining across Tampa Bay, beaches along the Gulf, and the galleries and waterfront streets of St. Petersburg – all reachable by boat without navigating traffic or crowds.
The Bay Club’s dining experience is one of the most compelling features for AQUA residents – and one of the sharpest distinctions from competing luxury condominiums in Tampa. Two on-site restaurants, including a waterfront tiki bar, operate within the club and are accessible exclusively to members and guests.
Mornings unfold at the spa or poolside, followed by lunch overlooking the bay. Evenings shift to the waterfront restaurant – a relaxed rhythm of regulars, staff who know names and preferences, and a social atmosphere that is established and inviting from the very first visit.
As the Sotheby’s International Realty 2026 Luxury Outlook Report notes, 60% of affiliated agents now report that lifestyle factors – specifically lifestyle-focused communities built around yachting, boating, and social dining – are more influential in buyer decisions than ever. The Bay Club’s dining and social environment is precisely this kind of lifestyle infrastructure, fully built and operating.
AQUA’s building amenities and Bay Club membership operate as two distinct layers – each exceptional on its own, extraordinary together. Where most luxury condos in Tampa offer only one tier of amenity access, AQUA residents have both.
Within the AQUA building itself:
These are the amenities of a high-end residential building. The Bay Club adds a waterfront dining scene, a deep-water marina, tennis courts, and a social community – the kind of condo concierge lifestyle that can only come from an established club with decades of operational culture, not from a building’s amenity floor.
Bay Club membership is optional for AQUA residents, and one year of membership is included with each residence purchase (terms may apply). After the initial year, residents may elect to continue membership on an ongoing basis.
This structure gives buyers flexibility – the full Bay Club experience is accessible from day one without an additional upfront cost, allowing residents to determine whether ongoing membership fits their lifestyle before committing beyond the first year.
Experience the Bay Club for yourself. AQUA at Westshore Yacht Club is now move-in ready – a limited collection of 77 residences within Tampa’s only gated waterfront yacht club community.

What is included in AQUA’s Bay Club membership?
Bay Club membership at Westshore Yacht Club includes access to two waterfront restaurants (including a tiki bar), resort pools, tennis facilities, spa and fitness amenities, private social lounges, a curated events calendar, and the 175-slip deep-water private marina accommodating vessels up to 108 feet. One year of membership is included with each AQUA residence purchase (terms may apply).
Does AQUA have a private marina?
Yes. AQUA residents have access to the Westshore Yacht Club’s 175-slip deep-water marina, which accommodates vessels up to 108 feet LOA. The marina operates as a members-only facility – not a public or shared commercial dock – and is steps from the AQUA building within the gated community.
What waterfront dining is available at Westshore Yacht Club?
The Bay Club includes two on-site restaurants for members – a waterfront dining room and a tiki bar with bay views. Both are accessible exclusively to Bay Club members and their guests, operating as private dining venues within the Westshore Yacht Club community rather than public restaurants.
How does AQUA’s amenity offering compare to other luxury condos in Tampa?
Most luxury condominiums in Tampa offer a single tier of building amenities – pools, fitness centers, and common spaces within the building itself. AQUA is unique in offering a dual-layer model: building amenities within AQUA plus optional access to the Bay Club’s waterfront dining, private marina, tennis facilities, and social programming. No other Tampa condo development provides access to an established, operating yacht club on this scale.
What is the best neighborhood in Tampa for waterfront and boating activities?
The Westshore Marina District in South Tampa is widely regarded as Tampa’s premier address for waterfront and boating lifestyle. Westshore Yacht Club sits within this district and offers direct Tampa Bay access, a deep-water marina, and waterfront dining – making it the strongest option for buyers prioritizing boating, water access, and outdoor waterfront living.
