Why Butler Avenue
The premier corridor for inland dry storage.
The Stickney Point corridor is among Sarasota County's busiest boating-access corridors. Continuous launch activity, nearby marina development, and exceptional access to Sarasota Bay make this one of the region's premier locations for inland dry storage.
Closest ramps — Centennial Park (10 min) and Ken Thompson (15 min) — put open water minutes from your boat, while the Gulf passes beyond them open straight to the blue.
