For Boat Owners

Known as the “Venice of America” Fort Lauderdale offers 165 miles of waterways with endless options to make your home where your yacht is. Whether you are looking for a single-family residence or a condominium there are many waterfront neighborhoods located on private canals, the Intracoastal Waterway, direct oceanfront, the New River or lakefront that provide unrestricted access to the sparkling Atlantic Ocean.

When purchasing a waterfront property, specifically for dockage purposes, certain features should be considered, for instance:

Ocean Access – Know the homes distance to the nearest inlet and how much time it will take to reach the open waters of the Atlantic on your vessel.

Fixed Bridges – Know the height and draft of your vessel for bridge clearance at both high and low tides.

Set-Backs – These are established ‘view corridors’ and your vessel may not extend past them on either side of the property therefore, you must know the overall length of your vessel, not the length at the waterline.

Canal Width – Know the beam (width) of your vessel as it may not extend more than 30% past the property line, including the dock, into the canal.

Canal Depth – Know the draft of your vessel to allow for access in and out of the canal at tide changes and confirm water depth at dock for bottom clearance.

Hoists and Lifts – Depending on the specific watercraft and or water toys, weight capacity of such should be verified.
