Yachting in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Despite its stunning beaches, Fort Lauderdale, the “Venice of America”, is best experienced through its never-ending waterways, canals and sandbars; the city is almost entirely laid out on the water. Spend the day on the water yachting and exploring the various canals whilst both admiring the luxury mansions laid out on the water and docking in one of the various waterfront restaurants. The Greater Fort Lauderdale area contains more than 300 miles of canals and about 165 miles run through Fort Lauderdale itself. The canals boast their own South Florida flair with a mix of luxury, romance and edginess, all of which may be observed from above on one of the city’s many skyscrapers. These miles of canals intertwine their way through downtown Fort Lauderdale and the backyards of many city residents as families use the canals as secondary driveways to park their boats. Walking down Fort Lauderdale’s canals just isn’t the same as cruising down it. Yacht down the New River, through the offshoot canals, through Millionaire’s Row past the many impressive luxury mansions of the rich and famous with their super yachts lined along the canals. Or even yacht to Bahia Mar Marina, home to an array of mega yachts and the World’s Largest International Boat Show (FLIBS). Fort Lauderdale is also known for its exquisite dining, featuring a great selection of restaurants right on the Waterway. After you spend the day navigating through the canals, dock at one of the many waterfront restaurants to observe Fort Lauderdale’s exquisite sunset. Fort Lauderdale’s waterways also lends themselves to watersports - kayak down the mangrove-lined waterway in John U Lloyd State Park whilst you observe the tons of wildlife along the way. Or go paddleboarding down the Stranahan River with its warm waters past its amazing real estate. If fishing is your sport, Greater Fort Lauderdale is one of the few areas in the world where fresh water and salt water fishing happen within 20 minutes of each other. Furthermore, there are deep water fishing fleets located in Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea and Dania Beach. Apart from all the local excursions and activities Fort Lauderdale has to offer, its close proximity to the Bahamas make it a popular starting point for many week-long charters.
