How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Boat Slip in Fort Lauderdale?
By Tal Fox Amit · Jun 18, 2026 · Updated Sep 25, 2026 · 4 min read
A clear breakdown of what dockage really costs in Fort Lauderdale, by vessel length, dock and season, so you can budget with confidence.
Dockage in Fort Lauderdale is almost always priced per foot of your vessel's length overall (LOA), per night. Marinas publish their rates: Marina Bay, for example, listed $3.25 per foot a day for a 45 to 65 ft boat on a transient stay (under 30 days), plus tax and electric, when we checked on September 25, 2026. Our private docks run lower, and our price guide shows today's live range.
What drives the price
Several factors move dockage rates up or down:
- Vessel length, you pay per foot of LOA, so a longer boat costs more.
- Location, deep-water docks near the inlet, Las Olas, and the New River command a premium.
- Dates, Boat Show week is priced higher than the rest of the year.
- Power & amenities, shore power and water are billed per night where you use them.
Nightly, monthly, or seasonal?
Short stays are billed by the night. Monthly and seasonal terms are available too. If you already know your dates, ask us for a long-stay quote.
