Fort Lauderdale homes with a dock for a 16–25 ft boat

94 active homes passed Dock & Draft Match™ for a typical 16–25 ft boat (25 ft long, 9 ft wide, 2 ft draft and 10 ft above the water): frontage after city setbacks, canal width on every leg to the ocean, route depths at low tide (or with the predicted tide for homes marked "High tide only") and bridge heights. These are planning estimates, not surveys — verify the berth, depth and setbacks before you rely on them.

94 of 94 have no fixed bridge on their saved route to Port Everglades. The rest clear their fixed bridges at 10 ft or pass opening drawbridges on schedule.

Fort Lauderdale boats typically run to Port Everglades. Fort Lauderdale’s canal system — the “Venice of America” — runs off the Intracoastal Waterway and the New River, with deep-water neighborhoods like Rio Vista, Harbor Beach and Las Olas Isles.

The typical ocean run to Port Everglades crosses opening drawbridges such as Las Olas Blvd and the SE 17th St Causeway, so tall boats pass on their opening schedule rather than at any hour.

Each home was checked against its own saved route facts for a 25 ft boat. If your boat is wider, deeper or taller than 25 ft long, 9 ft wide, 2 ft draft and 10 ft above the water, run your exact numbers in Dock & Draft Match. Your captain and surveyor should confirm dock length, water depth, bridge clearance and canal width before you buy.
