Yacht Charter
Pier 66 Marina, Fort Lauderdale
Dock pickup at Pier Sixty-Six Marina, the 17th Street Causeway, and the surrounding Fort Lauderdale marinas and clubs. Captain and crew on every charter across Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
Pier 66 Marina sits on the Intracoastal at the 17th Street Causeway, beneath the recently rebuilt Pier Sixty-Six resort and its landmark rotating Pier Top. It is the polished, resort-amenity Fort Lauderdale charter origin: a deep-water marina with a brand-new hotel, dining, and spa attached, a short run from the Port Everglades inlet. For guests who want the convenience of a full resort wrapped around the charter, Pier 66 is the Fort Lauderdale answer. The marina handles large vessels comfortably, and its position at the 17th Street Causeway puts it within a few minutes of both the beach and downtown Fort Lauderdale, which makes it the most central of the Fort Lauderdale origins.
Why Charter Out of Pier 66 Marina
Pier 66 is the resort-marina origin, and the redevelopment is what sets it apart now. The rebuilt Pier Sixty-Six brings a new hotel, restaurants, and a spa directly to the dock, so a charter here can be the centerpiece of a full resort stay without the group ever leaving the property. The 17th Street Causeway position is the other advantage: it is the most central Fort Lauderdale origin, a few minutes from the beach in one direction and downtown and Las Olas in the other, with a quick deep-water run to the Port Everglades inlet. Where Bahia Mar trades on raw superyacht scale and beachfront access, and Las Olas trades on the walk from the boulevard, Pier 66 trades on the polished all-in-one resort experience. The Azimut Daniella 100 and the Wally 85 both suit it well.

Guests staying at the Pier Sixty-Six resort walk to the slip. For everyone else, Pier 66 is the most central Fort Lauderdale origin, a few minutes from the beachfront hotels and from the downtown and Las Olas hotels alike. The marina has parking on the property, and the 17th Street Causeway location is easy to reach from any direction. For arrivals at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International the drive is short, and for private-jet arrivals the concierge stages a sedan from the Sheltair or Fort Lauderdale Executive FBO timed to boarding. The central position makes Pier 66 the easiest Fort Lauderdale marina to reach from a hotel anywhere in the city.
Near Pier 66 Marina
The rebuilt Pier Sixty-Six resort wraps the marina, so dining, a spa, and the landmark rotating Pier Top lounge are all on the property. The 17th Street Causeway just outside has its own cluster of restaurants and shops. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a few minutes east and Las Olas Boulevard a few minutes north, both short rides. The central location means a Pier 66 charter pairs easily with a beach afternoon, a Las Olas dinner, or a full resort stay, and the concierge can sequence any of those around the charter window. For groups who want everything in one place, the resort setting does most of the work.
