Greetings,
Mr. W. From what I know, liveaboard options are pretty slim in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale and typically IF liveaboard is allowed at a marina, there is an extra fee. $100-$200/mos. seems to be the norm. We are in Ft. Lauderdale on a canal behind a condo where liveaboard IS allowed for the time being @ $800/mos. Boats are limited to 50' or less.

Hollywood city marina. 68 /100 per ft. No Liveaboard Fee perhaps because of the cheap fuel every place seems extra busy this year

Mr. W. I think like anything else, you'll have to shop around. Some folks like/want the minimalist environment and others want the whole shootin' match. Make a list, grab the phone and take notes.

Do you want to live at the Resort or just have a dock space to call home?

Decide which town , or part of town you want to be in , based on what the town has to offer for you.
Then look for a marina.
IF you are not into shopping , restaurants and nite life frequently a better std. of daily living can be had in an out of the way marina.
Max privacy and quiet can frequently be founf behind a canal home.
Try Dania if that suits you.You can always walk to Tugboat Annies for grub or booze.

Thanks for the responces I work in dade and broward so thats why the broad range yet I cant go to far since I still work! Not really looking for a resort but I was not sure if they were like a resort. Spoke to Sands Harbor that was interesting they do not offer live aboard but it seems that is negotiable. I will check on the rest of these and once again your thought are helpfull!

A lot of choices from Dania to LHP to Hollywood, even Aventura. Also places like Mercedes near Las Olas which has apartments and liveaboard slips. Docks near 15th Street Fisheries, but I don't know if they allow liveaboard but 500-650 per month.
