Fort Lauderdale homes with a dock for a 50 ft boat

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.

Every home below states a dock length or boat size of at least 50 ft in its own listing — never a frontage estimate. Figures are listing-stated planning numbers, not surveys. Estimate only, not guaranteed. Verify dock length, water depth, bridge clearance and canal width before you buy.

Common questions

Can a 50 ft boat dock at a home in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes — every home on this page states a dock length or boat size of at least 50 ft in its listing. These are the listing's own figures, not surveys: verify the berth, depth and any city setbacks before you rely on them.

Which inlet do Fort Lauderdale boats use to reach the ocean?

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.

Are there bridges between Fort Lauderdale canals and the ocean?

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.

How accurate are the boat sizes on this page?

Each size comes from the listing itself — a stated dock length or a stated boat accommodation — never from a frontage estimate. They are planning figures only; your captain and surveyor should confirm dock length, water depth, bridge clearance and canal width before you buy.
