How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Boat Slip in Fort Lauderdale?
By Tal Fox Amit · Jun 18, 2026 · 4 min read
A clear breakdown of what dockage really costs in Fort Lauderdale, by vessel length, season, and lease type, so you can budget with confidence.
Dockage in Fort Lauderdale is almost always priced per foot of your vessel's length overall (LOA), per day. As a general rule, private docks in the area run roughly $2 to $5 per foot per day, depending on location, water depth, shore power, and the season. That means a 50-foot vessel might pay around $100–$250 a night, while a 100-footer typically runs $200–$500.
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.
- Season, peak runs roughly November through April (Boat Show and snowbird season); summer is softer.
- Power & amenities, metered 50A/100A shore power, water, and parking can add to the base rate.
- Lease length, monthly and seasonal leases usually carry a lower effective per-foot rate than nightly.
Nightly, monthly, or seasonal?
Short stays are billed nightly. For anything a month or longer, a monthly or seasonal lease almost always works out cheaper per night. If you already know your dates, ask for a monthly quote, it can lower your effective rate meaningfully.
