Fort Lauderdale Sailing Travel Tips

By Matt Link

There's no shortage of charter vessels in the greater Fort Lauderdale area, which has everything from small sailboats to luxury yachts. For power-boat enthusiasts, intracoastal cruises along the mansion-lined waterways are a popular option.
Fort Lauderdale is home to one of the only sailing schools in the United States that offers all levels of the American Sailing Association program: the top-rated Blue Water Sailing School.
Water taxis are a fast, inexpensive, and fun way to cruise around the city. Just avoid the bigger, more crowded "water buses."
Looking for a nice slip? The Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six Resort & Spa has 127, and they each come with all the conveniences of the resort (read: room service delivered right to your boat).
