The Best Marinas to Depart From in Fort Lauderdale
Bahia Mar, Pier 66, Las Olas, Sailfish. A breakdown of the major Fort Lauderdale marinas, what each is best known for, and which one fits your charter.
Fort Lauderdale calls itself the yachting capital of the world and the marina infrastructure backs that up. There are more registered yachts per capita here than in any other U.S. city. For a charter client the question is which marina to depart from. The right answer depends on where your group is coming from, what voyage you booked, and how much you care about the on-property scene.
This is a marina-by-marina breakdown of the four major Fort Lauderdale options. We dock vessels at all of them and have opinions on each. None of them is wrong. Some are better matches than others.
