New Construction Waterfront in Boca Raton’s Blue Inlet
Blue Inlet occupies that sweet spot in Boca Raton’s coastal geography that seasoned waterfront buyers recognize immediately: close enough to everything, far enough from the ordinary.
Moments to the beach. Seconds from your private dock to the Intracoastal. A short drive to Mizner Park’s sophisticated dining and shopping, or south to Atlantic Avenue in downtown Delray Beach. The Boca Inlet—your gateway to open ocean—waits just minutes away by water.
But here’s what separates Blue Inlet from dozens of other waterfront addresses: the canal width. This isn’t one of those narrow channels where maneuvering your vessel requires the precision of parallel parking. The wide canal at 721 NE Marine Drive allows easy turnaround, stress-free docking, and the kind of boating convenience that transforms maritime ownership from occasional hobby to daily lifestyle.
No fixed bridges between you and the Atlantic. No HOA dictating your exterior paint colors or guest parking policies. Just pure, unencumbered waterfront living in one of East Boca’s most coveted coastal enclaves.
The Builder Behind This Boca Raton Waterfront Home
Not all new construction is created equal. Charles Thomas Builders has earned a reputation for residences that prioritize structural integrity alongside aesthetic excellence—and 721 NE Marine Drive exemplifies that philosophy.
Poured concrete construction set on pilings. This isn’t marketing language; it’s engineering commitment. While lesser builders cut corners invisible to the untrained eye, Charles Thomas builds homes designed to withstand decades of salt air, hurricane seasons, and the particular demands of waterfront living. The result is a residence that feels substantial from the moment you cross the threshold—walls that absorb sound properly, floors that don’t flex, doors that close with satisfying precision.
This is what $7.5 million looks like when it’s built by people who understand that true luxury begins with bones.
Ground Floor Living in This New Waterfront Construction
Step inside and let your eye travel across gleaming 4’ x 4’ white Spanish porcelain tile that flows seamlessly through every main living space. The floor itself becomes a design element—luminous, cool underfoot, reflecting South Florida light with gallery-quality consistency.
The great room opens through floor-to-ceiling glass sliders that frame the water from nearly every angle. This isn’t a home with water views; it’s a home that exists in dialogue with the water. The boundary between interior and exterior dissolves into something more philosophical than architectural.
The custom chef’s kitchen anchors sophisticated entertaining with a premium Thermador appliance suite—the brand serious home cooks request by name. A wet bar supports the kind of gatherings where conversations extend past dessert. The dining area flows naturally from kitchen to great room, accommodating everything from Tuesday night family dinners to Saturday evening dinner parties.
A covered loggia with summer kitchen creates that essential South Florida outdoor room—shaded from afternoon sun, equipped for serious al fresco cooking, positioned perfectly between pool and water views. The heated saltwater pool features a sun shelf for those afternoons when full immersion feels like too much commitment and lounging at water’s edge feels exactly right.
The ground floor also delivers something increasingly valuable: a private VIP guest suite with full bath. Parents visiting for the season. Adult children home for holidays. Business associates requiring discretion. This isn’t a converted den with a pullout sofa—it’s genuine guest quarters with genuine privacy.
A dedicated office completes the ground floor, because working from home shouldn’t mean working from your kitchen island.
The Upper Level: The Primary Suite as Private Retreat
Ascend via the custom residential elevator—because homes should accommodate all phases of life gracefully—and discover an upper level designed around the primary suite as destination rather than afterthought.
The owner’s suite captures those long water views through its own private waterfront balcony. Morning coffee overlooking the canal. Evening wind-down watching boats return to their slips. These daily rituals transform primary suite from bedroom to sanctuary.
Dual walk-in closets eliminate the negotiation of shared closet space. The spa-inspired bath features separate shower and soaking tub, dual sinks, and the kind of finishes that make getting ready feel less like routine and more like ritual.
Three additional guest suites ensure that every overnight visitor experiences genuine comfort rather than tolerated accommodation—each with thoughtful proportions and quality finishes. A loft provides flexible space for media, reading, or whatever your household requires that doesn’t fit neatly into traditional room categories.
Two laundry rooms—one on each floor—reflect the kind of practical intelligence that only reveals itself after you’ve lived in homes without this convenience. No carrying baskets up and down stairs. No choosing between convenience and capacity.
The Waterfront Infrastructure
Eighty feet of prime waterfront frontage with a private dock ready for immediate use. The wide canal isn’t just aesthetically pleasing—it’s functionally superior for anyone who actually uses their boat rather than merely owning one.
Direct Intracoastal access seconds from your dock. No fixed bridges between your slip and the Atlantic Ocean. For boaters who’ve navigated the frustrating constraints of bridge-limited waterways, this distinction requires no explanation. For those new to serious waterfront ownership, understand this: bridge clearance determines vessel selection. No fixed bridges means your maritime ambitions remain unconstrained.
