The Yacht Club at Portofino

Yacht Club at Portofino: The Only South of Fifth Tower Built for Flexible Living

Completed in 1999 by The Related Group, Yacht Club at Portofino was one of the buildings that set the modern South of Fifth skyline in motion. The 34-story bayfront tower holds 359 residences with one- to three-bedroom layouts, each looking out over Biscayne Bay, the Miami Beach Marina, or the Downtown Miami skyline.

What sets Yacht Club at Portofino apart in South of Fifth isn't just its views — it's its rental policy. It is the only high-rise luxury condominium in the neighborhood that permits seasonal and vacation-style rentals, with owners able to lease their units up to twelve times a year on stays as short as 30 days. Every other major SoFi tower caps rentals at twice annually with a six-month minimum, which makes Yacht Club at Portofino the natural choice for buyers who want investment flexibility alongside a luxury address.

Location & Lifestyle

Yacht Club at Portofino sits at 90 Alton Road, within walking and biking distance of South Pointe Park and the energy of South Beach's restaurant and nightlife scene. The building's South of Fifth setting keeps it a short drive from Downtown Miami, the Kaseya Center (home of the Miami Heat), and Bayside Marketplace, while still offering the quieter, water-facing character the neighborhood is known for.

Why Buy at Yacht Club at Portofino

This is the building for buyers who want a SoFi address without giving up rental flexibility — whether that means generating income between personal stays or simply keeping the option open. Combined with resort-style amenities and some of the neighborhood's most direct marina and bay views, Yacht Club at Portofino occupies a niche none of its immediate neighbors can match.

It sits close to Murano Grande and Icon South Beach along the Portofino stretch of Alton Road — worth comparing if flexible rental terms are a priority alongside bayfront living.
