Boat Tour

Sunday, Nov 15 · 10:00 AM · LeBarge, 2 Marina Plaza

Sarasota’s sense of place is inextricably linked to the water, and its architecture reflects that with many waterfront properties oriented away from the street and toward the natural beauty of Sarasota Bay. Join Architecture Sarasota during MOD Weekend on our boat tour to learn about how architects and builders interacted with the waterfront to make design choices and highlight the natural landscape around them.
