Fort Lauderdale has been nicknamed the "yachting capital of the US" and "Venice of the US" for good reason – it's the perfect place to dock your yacht and enjoy the year-round Florida sun. 

Yacht owners should consider these three core areas when looking for a place to dock:

  • Marinas
  • Setbacks
  • Waterfront properties

By doing so, you can make sure you find the perfect home for your lifestyle.
