The Island

Twelve gated miles of Gulf-front seclusion.

Longboat Key is a narrow barrier island running the length of Sarasota Bay — a single main road, guarded resort gates and estate neighborhoods, with the Gulf on one side and the bay on the other. It is deliberately quiet: no high-rise commercial strip, just private beaches, marinas and golf. That seclusion is the point, and it is exactly why the transfer matters — there is one way on and off the island, and knowing it well is the difference between a serene arrival and a frustrated one.

Private beaches

Miles of gated, resort-owned white sand rather than public boardwalk.

Championship golf

Club courses that draw member groups and golf getaways year-round.

Marinas & bay

Deep-water marinas and calm bayside for boating and sunset cruises.

The Two Resorts

Two flagships, side by side.

Longboat Key’s luxury centers on two neighboring properties. The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort is the island’s newest five-diamond flagship; The Resort at Longboat Key Club is its established golf-and-beach club. Each has a dedicated transfer page — we serve both, and we move guests between them and the wider Sarasota coast on one account.

One island, one operator

Because both resorts sit on the same gated island, a single chauffeur team that knows the gates, the valet lanes and the causeway timing serves the whole of Longboat Key. Guests staying at one resort and dining or golfing at the other travel between them on scheduled cars rather than waiting on rideshares that rarely venture out to the island.

Jet, seaplane, sand

Sarasota–Bradenton (SRQ) is the gateway, with the Atlantic Aviation and Sheltair FBOs handling the private jets that bring most of these guests. We meet the aircraft, clear the causeway and pass the resort gate under the guest’s name — and we tie into the seaplane and private-aviation packages the resorts themselves promote.

Weddings & Golf

Built for groups that move together.

Beach weddings and golf getaways define the Longboat Key calendar, and both are group events. We stage guest-block shuttles for room blocks, keep the wedding party on a single timeline, and run golf foursomes out to tee times and back — all coordinated with the resort and the planner, so the island’s single road never becomes the bottleneck.

Longboat Key Hotel Transportation — FAQ

Which Longboat Key resorts do you provide car service to?
The two flagship properties on the island — The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort and The Resort at Longboat Key Club — along with the private residences and estate rentals nearby. Each resort has its own page with airport, FBO and arrival detail, and we move guests between the two and the wider Sarasota coast on a single account.
How do guests reach Longboat Key from the airport?
Longboat Key is a gated barrier island reached from Sarasota–Bradenton International (SRQ) across the Ringling and Longboat Pass causeways, roughly twenty-five to thirty-five minutes depending on the resort. There is one main road down the island, so a chauffeur who knows the gates, the pass and the timing keeps the arrival smooth.
Do you coordinate private-jet and seaplane arrivals to Longboat Key?
Yes. We meet private jets at the Atlantic Aviation or Sheltair FBO at SRQ and run straight to the resort gate, and we align with the seaplane and private-aviation packages the island resorts promote — so the ground half of an air itinerary is handled end to end.
Can you handle beach weddings and golf groups on Longboat Key?
Both are core to what we do here. Beach weddings mean guest-block shuttles and a wedding party kept on one timeline; golf getaways mean moving foursomes to tee times and back. We stage the vehicles with the resort and planner so the island road never becomes a bottleneck.
Can guests travel between the two resorts and into Sarasota?
Yes. Because both resorts sit on the same gated island, one chauffeur team serves the whole of Longboat Key — guests staying at one resort and dining or golfing at the other, or heading into downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle, travel on scheduled cars rather than hard-to-get rideshares.
