Re: YachtWorld changes filters again

Re: Part time liveaboard questions Miami/Fort Lauderdale area

Your best marina price is probably going to be Hollywood, which fortuitously is also right between the two airports. It still won't be cheap. And there probably are no slips available unless you buy...

Re: Most cruiser-friendly region on Florida's east coast

Re: Seasonal slip rental SE Florida

I've worked with Dockfinders (https://www.dockfinders.com/home.html) on two different boats, one of which was a big cat with a 24' beam. Unless you want to stay at one of the major marinas (Las Olas,...

Re: buying in Florida

It will be her brokerage escrow account, not some personal bank account that she calls her escrow account. She's a licensed broker at a licensed brokerage, but yes, it's possible that she'll abscond...

Re: buying in Florida

I suspect that you have been misled, or someone made a mistake somewhere. I don't want to suggest that Bahia Mar will be cheap. It will not. All of the marinas in your original post are right near...

Re: how realistic are the prices on boat classified sites?
