About
The fact that no bridge connects Fisher Island to the mainland is not an oversight — it is the point. Cars and guests arrive by ferry from Terminal Island, and that single constraint shapes everything on the 216 acres behind it. Mediterranean-style low-rise buildings hold the residences, a golf course runs through the middle of the island, and the beach was built with sand imported from the Bahamas. The Vanderbilt mansion, remodelled as the island club, anchors the dining rooms and the spa. Tennis courts, a deep-water marina, and a helipad complete a self-contained luxury environment where nothing requires leaving the island.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying and investing in this area
How do you get to Fisher Island?
There is no bridge linking Fisher Island to the mainland — you reach it only by private ferry, yacht, or helicopter. Residents depend on the dedicated car ferry, which operates around the clock and crosses from Miami Beach's terminal in just 7 minutes.
Why is Fisher Island so expensive?
Fisher Island's price level comes from scarcity rather than square footage. The exclusivity stems from a set of factors found together nowhere else: total privacy secured by ferry-only entry, on-island amenities of the highest order, a private beach, championship golf, and inventory so tight that demand endlessly outruns supply.
How much are condos on Fisher Island?
Older residences start in the $3-5 million band, while the newest waterfront penthouses reach $50 million and beyond. Most deals close within the $8-12 million range. Yearly costs — club membership included — regularly run past $100,000.
What amenities does Fisher Island offer?
Fisher Island works as a completely self-contained luxury destination. Set on the island are a championship golf course, a full tennis center, a marina, a private beach club, a spa, several dining venues, the landmark historic Vanderbilt mansion, and a helipad. Concierge service runs continuously, around the clock.
Can tourists visit Fisher Island?
Wholly private, the island stays closed to the general public with no exceptions. Entry belongs to residents, their personal guests, and club members alone. A single narrow allowance applies: prospective buyers viewing properties in the company of a licensed real estate agent can secure a day pass.
