Marinas & Boat Ramps in Fort Lauderdale

10 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Marinas and boat ramps are the launch points and home base for anyone fishing from their own boat. Public boat ramps are often free or charge a small launch or parking fee, while full-service marinas add slips, fuel docks, bait, pump-outs and sometimes a shop or restaurant. If you trailer a boat, the ramp is where the day starts - and details like ramp condition, tide access, parking for trailers and hours matter as much as anything. Facilities and fees vary a lot from a simple concrete ramp to a large marina, so it helps to know what a location offers before you arrive. The listings here help you find ramps and marinas by city and state.

Below are 10 marinas & boat ramps listings in Fort Lauderdale, FL, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is Pier Sixty-Six Marina (4.5★, 1,258 Google reviews).

FAQ

Marinas & Boat Ramps in Fort Lauderdale - common questions

How many marinas & boat ramps are there in Fort Lauderdale? +

Who has the best-rated marinas & boat ramps in Fort Lauderdale? +
By Google review volume, Pier Sixty-Six Marina is the most-reviewed marinas & boat ramps listing in Fort Lauderdale (4.5★, 1,258 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
Are public boat ramps free? +
Many public boat ramps are free to use, though some charge a launch fee or require paid trailer parking, and busy ramps can fill up early on weekends. Fees and hours vary by location and managing agency - confirm before you tow your boat out.
What is the difference between a boat ramp and a marina? +
A boat ramp is a launch point for trailered boats - often just a concrete ramp and parking. A marina is a larger facility that may add slips, fuel, bait, pump-outs, repairs and a shop or restaurant. Some listings are ramps only, others full marinas, so check what each location offers.
How do I find a boat ramp or marina near me? +
Browse the ramps and marinas listed by city and state here to see nearby launch points and what facilities they offer. Because ramp condition, tide access and hours change, confirm current details with the marina or the agency that manages the ramp before your trip.
How much does a fishing charter cost in Fort Lauderdale? +
Fort Lauderdale charters typically run about $500-$1,500 depending on trip and boat. Shared drift-fishing trips are the most affordable; private full-day offshore charters sit at the top. Confirm the all-in price with the operator.
When is sailfish season in Fort Lauderdale? +
Sailfish fishing is strongest in the cooler months, roughly late fall through early spring, when they move through the close-in Gulf Stream. Ask operators about current conditions and which trip targets them.
What is drift fishing? +
Drift-fishing party boats let the boat drift over the reef line while everyone fishes - an affordable, walk-on way to target snapper, kingfish and more. You buy a seat rather than the whole boat.
Where do Fort Lauderdale charters depart from? +
Most run from Bahia Mar and the 15th Street docks. The ranked list below covers the area by review volume and rating.
