Privateer
The Privateer is a pair of condominium towers sitting directly gulf-front, rising across west of the northernmost end of the Links golf course in the Resort at Longboat Key Club. These high-rises were developed in the early 1970s, both 10 stories tall and stylish and impressive in their identical architectural design.
The two condominium buildings, however, are split into two neighborhoods. One is Privateer South that took the 1000 Longboat Club Road as its address and the other, Privateer North, settled as another community at the adjacent 1050 Longboat Club Road.
Altogether, the Privateer north and south towers house a total of 116 spacious dwellings with all the trappings of an island lifestyle. The upper floor dwellings are the most coveted, as these residences offer awe-inspiring views of the Gulf of Mexico and equally striking vistas of Sarasota Bay to the east.
Residences for sale at each of the Privateer duo share an exciting collection of amenities. The perks of living in this condominium complex include an Olympic-size swimming pool with a hot tub. Located just steps away from the beach, the pool has an extensive deck that is well-furnished and provides expansive views of the Gulf.
Scenic and pavered pathways amidst lush landscaping connect both north and south towers of the Privateer to the pool and the beach. Loungers and beach umbrellas are available for residents’ use at the condominium’s beachfront stretching for some 500 feet.
The Privateer, in addition, has two tennis courts and a shuffleboard court. Bike paths are accessible too within and around its perimeter. Indoor activities for residents can be enjoyed in the clubhouse and in the fitness center and sauna of the condominium complex.
