Palm Beach County

We serve ten Palm Beach County cities, from Jupiter at the top of our route to Boca Raton at the county line. Most of the water is the brackish Lake Worth Lagoon and the Loxahatchee estuary, fed by the C-51, C-16 and C-17 canals, so growth and zinc wear change from dock to dock and the monthly dive report records both.

10 waterfront cities

  • Boca Raton

    Lake Boca Raton by the inlet, a city-owned dredge, and the deep-water canals of Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club.

  • Boynton Beach

    Boynton Harbor Marina half a mile from the inlet, Harbor Estates on the C-16 canal, and the Gulf Stream close in.

  • Delray Beach

    Tropic Isle's canals with no fixed bridges, the city marina off Atlantic Avenue, and a 4.2-foot seawall rule.

  • Jupiter

    The Loxahatchee's brackish estuary, the natural Jupiter Inlet, and 500-plus private docks in Admirals Cove.

  • Lake Worth Beach

    Bryant Park's ramp on the Intracoastal, the C-51 spillway's fresh water, and a lagoon that is 81% seawall.

  • Lantana

    Sportsman's Park ramps at the Lantana bridge and Hypoluxo Island's deep-water docks on the brackish lagoon.

  • North Palm Beach

    A village of canals, Old Port Cove's 250-boat marina, and the Earman River's fresh water behind a saltwater dam.

  • Ocean Ridge

    A barrier-island town on A1A with the Boynton Inlet at its north end and Intracoastal docks on its west side.

  • Palm Beach

    An 18-mile barrier island, the Lake Worth Inlet at its top, and 84 big-yacht slips at the town marina.

  • West Palm Beach

    Free City Docks at Clematis Street, El Cid along Flagler Drive, and the C-51 spillway at the south end of town.

Broward County

We serve seven Broward County cities, and our office at 301 Seabreeze Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale sits in the middle of them. The county's Intracoastal is slow speed within 50 feet of shore, its seawall standard is 5.0 feet NAVD88, and its canal neighborhoods put a boat behind nearly every house.

7 waterfront cities

  • Deerfield Beach

    The Hillsboro River county line, The Cove's finger canals and a boat-only island park on the Intracoastal.

  • Fort Lauderdale

    165 miles of waterways, the tidal New River, Las Olas Isles and Bahia Mar, on the same street as our office.

  • Hallandale Beach

    Golden Isles canals, the Three Islands Waterway and Broward's southernmost city marina.

  • Hollywood

    North and South Lake in Hollywood Lakes, Harbor Islands canals, and the city marina at Intracoastal mile 1072.

  • Lauderdale-By-The-Sea

    A barrier island with a reef 100 yards off the beach and private-dock canals in Bel Air and Terra Mar.

  • Lighthouse Point

    Canals dug in the 1950s and '60s, a marina minutes from Hillsboro Inlet, and Cap's Place on Lake Placid.

  • Pompano Beach

    Hillsboro Inlet at the north end, canal neighborhoods dug in the 1950s, and Lake Santa Barbara's runoff.

Miami-Dade County

We serve eight Miami-Dade cities on Biscayne Bay, from Golden Beach down to Key Biscayne and Coral Gables. Bay water is warm and salty all year, the river and canal mouths are idle-speed zones where boats sit still, and both grow barnacles on any hull that stays in the water.

8 waterfront cities

  • Bay Harbor Islands

    West Island homes and East Island condos on Indian Creek and the bay, minutes from Haulover Inlet.

  • Coral Gables

    Over 42 miles of shoreline and canals, Cocoplum and Gables Estates docks, and the Coral Gables Waterway.

    An all-residential town with three miles of Intracoastal inside its limits and a boat behind the houses.

    An island village with the ocean on one side, Biscayne Bay on the other, and Hurricane Harbor's no-wake docks.

  • Miami

    Dinner Key slips and moorings, Brickell and Edgewater bayfront docks, and the no-wake Miami River.

    Keystone Point and Sans Souci canals, the undredged Oleta River next door, and north Biscayne Bay.
