Fort Lauderdale
With over 300 miles of inland waterways, this mansion-lined ‘Venice of America’ is a must see and has even been referred to as the ‘yachting capital of the world’ - perfect, then, to be discovered onboard your own luxury yacht.
Home to thousands of yachts, the opportunities for water-based activities and watersports here are endless - ask our concierge team to organise the newest and most innovative water toys to try out. Like Miami, the beaches in Fort Lauderdale are exquisite, and there is an array to choose from. Our must see is Fort Lauderdale Beach - be enticed by over seven miles of the most beautiful white sand.
If you’re feeling ready to venture inland, explore Fort Lauderdale’s heritage at the delightful Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, this 1920’s estate once belonged to great American artists Frederic and Evelyn Barlett. As well as a stately home and art gallery, Bonnet House is home to a rare pocket of environmental preservation encompassing 35 acres of South Florida’s last areas of native barrier island habitat.
Fort Lauderdale offers a culinary experience for every palate - stop off at the oceanfront Takato for exceptional Japanese and Korean fusion cuisine, or head to Mastros Ocean Club for the epitome of luxury fine dining, both conveniently situated waterside for easy access from your yacht.
From here you can either head back on board to join the rest of the yachting crowd or continue on land to finish the night at our recommendation, Stache - a 1920s speakeasy-inspired cocktail bar that’s been voted one of the top whiskey bars in the U.S.
However you decide to spend your time in Fort Lauderdale, the added pleasure of experiencing this destination through a luxury yacht ownership perspective is sure to be unforgettable - get in touch with us to find out more about MIY Yacht Co-Ownership.
