Why boaters love Fort Lauderdale

Known as the 'Venice of America,' Fort Lauderdale offers an unparalleled dockside lifestyle with over 300 miles of inland waterways and easy deep-water access through Port Everglades. Yacht owners benefit from the massive concentration of refit yards along the New River and iconic social hubs like the Peanut Island-esque vibe of the Sandbar at the 17th Street Causeway or a sunset cruise past the multi-million dollar estates of Seven Isles.

  • Fort Lauderdale is home to the International Swimming Hall of Fame, easily recognizable from the Intracoastal Waterway just north of the Las Olas Bridge.
  • The historic Stranahan House, the city's oldest surviving structure, can be viewed from the water at the bend where the New River meets the downtown Riverwalk.
  • Boaters often raft up at 15th Street Fisheries to feed the massive tarpon that congregate around the docks under the 17th Street Bridge.

Local tip from Daniel: The high-traffic brackish water of the New River can lead to faster barnacle growth in your yacht's AC raw water strainers, so we recommend seasonal descaling to keep your compressors running cool in the Florida heat.

Why Fort Lauderdale boat owners call Daniel first

Fort Lauderdale is a yacht captains, engineers, and private owners town, and marine air conditioning systems here take a beating from the New River, Intracoastal, and Port Everglades Inlet salt, heat, and heavy use. Daniel diagnoses at your slip, brings refrigerant and common parts on the truck, and — when possible — has your system back online the same visit. Every Fort Lauderdale service call is a flat $240 that covers the first hour of on-site diagnostic and travel time from anywhere between Boynton Beach and Ft. Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale Marine AC — Frequently asked questions

What are the bridge clearance schedules for yachts navigating the New River in Fort Lauderdale?

The 17th Street Causeway Bridge has a vertical clearance of 55 feet when closed, but it opens every 15 and 45 minutes past the hour for larger yachts heading toward Pier Sixty-Six or Laurel Creek. Always check the current and wind, as the tide rips through this section of the ICW quite fast.

Does Bahia Mar Boutique Yacht Resort accommodate mega-yachts in Fort Lauderdale?

Bahia Mar is one of the most famous marinas in the world, serving as the centerpiece for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). It offers full-service slips for vessels up to 300 feet and is just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean, making it a prime spot for transient cruisers.

"Daniel did a repair of the refrigerator on my 1978 Bristol sailboat. I believe the unit is the original. I was prepared to have the entire thing ripped out and replaced. Daniel came out, spent hours testing and inspecting it, and got the unit up and running! I was very impressed. And the beer stays icy cold! I highly recommend Daniel for all your HVAC needs."
