For Rent: Dock for rent, Fort Lauderdale

[CSY Man]

Reference recent threads on residential docks for rent in Fort Lauderdale:

We had a thread going yesterday but now it seems to be missing in action.
Got several Private Messages with a bunch of questions about dock rental in Fort Lauderdale, here is a few answers that may be of general interest:

1) This is about residential docks for rent, not commercial or marina docks.
2) In this neighborhood there are no living aboard as there are no pump-out facilities and the canals are not zoned for liveaboards or commercial docking.
3) 98% of the dockage are Docks, not slips. (Alongside, not between piers)
4) The going rate is $12 per foot per month, $10 extra to run a 110v fan (per month) Air Condition 24/7 not included, guessing $40-50 per month extra.
5) Water for washdown is usually included.
5) This area is 3 miles inland and a good hurricane hole, it fills up quick with a named storm on the horizon, some folks even pay to reserve the dock in case of a storm, otherwise the dock is empty.
6) I don't charge for finding docks, just helping fellow boaters out. Most of the dock owners drop a case of beer on my door step, or buy me dinner if they get a contract.
Only once has this gig gone sour, what yesterday's thread was all about.
From now on security deposit for everybody.

Good luck, CSY's been around for a long time on CF and dock spaces anywhere in S. Florida are getting harder and harder to come by.

If anyone is looking in Fort Lauderdale, we have an available dock for up to 45 foot boat, sail or power (we don't mind which), quiet area, near LMC and two restaurants and fuel dock, just east of I95, suitable for 6 foot draft, no fixed bridges. About 45 minutes to the port.
