10th Annual Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic at Sandestin

May 7, 2012 by

With the 2012 Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic coming up in June, anglers all over the Gulf Coast are gearing up to land that monster marlin.

The annual fishing tournament is in its 10th year and Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort will be hosting it again at Baytowne Marina. The tournament for 2012 will run from June 20 through June 24.

The weigh-ins are a particulary fun event to watch. As 700-pound Blue Marlins are hoisted into the air, the fishermen anxiously wait to see if they can claim part of more than $1 million prize money and bragging rights for catching the behemoth. In 2011, the total purse at the event exceeded $1.4 million with 71 teams and 352 anglers looking to land that monster fish.

Come out and have a beer and enjoy the live weigh-in from 4 to 9 p.m. on June 22 and from 4 to 10 p.m. on June 23. There is usually a crowd waiting for the boats to dock up and unload their catch to see who has the biggest fish.

For more information, check out the event’s website.

And as always, we are here to help you if you should be in the market to look for some real estate. Andy Meinen 850.419.4777 and Christina Meinen 850.974.9704.

Cheers!

Sandestin is the spot along the Emerald Coast

August 20, 2009 by
Sandestin is an all-inclusive resort in Destin, Florida.

Sandestin is an all-inclusive resort in Destin, Florida.

We’ve lived in Sandestin for several years and we’re constantly having fun. Sandestin is about 2,400 acres, but has a small time feel.

The resort straddles Highway 98 and hugs up against Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The resort truly has everything.

Got a boat? They have a marina.

Want to golf? Four courses await.

Hungry? About a dozen eateries – ranging from high-end, sosphiticated meals to a 50s hamburger joint – inhabit the Village of Baytowne Wharf. Along with several bars and a lagoon that kids can zip line across.

Shopping and more places to eat are right next door in Grand Boulevard. Restaurants like Tommy Bahama, Cantina Laredo, Flemming’s and Mitchell’s Fish Market are ready for your reservation. There are also numerous shops, and a Publix Supermarket to provide you with what ever you need.

But the best feature of the resort is the wide, white stretches of sugary sandy beaches. Grab a beach chair and lounge under the umbrella with a book, or spread out a beach towel and soak up the Florida sun. And the warm emerald waters sooth the urban weary soul.

Owners can scoot around on their Golf Cart, and Christina and I take full advantage. Living in Sandestin has be an incredible opportunity for us both and we love to call the resort home. There are plenty of homes, condos and lots available to choose from. The market is ready for first-time buyers. So call Christina today at 850.974.9704.
