| Nestled within exclusive Rio Vista, this rare double lot is situated atop a ridgeline and unique cliff at one of the highest points in Fort Lauderdale. The large property is surrounded by mature trees and dense foliage creating a perfect, private space on which to build one or two residences. The existing structure is a charming two-story family home overlooking the brick pool area from its spacious wrap-around covered porch. Inside is found pecky cypress walls/ceilings, hardwood floors and a wood burning fireplace. The property is presently offered at $1,599,000. |

| Our marina is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, a real milestone for the family of the late Bob Cox, founder of Lauderdale Marina in 1948. This historic photograph shows Bob's wife and friends fueling up at the dock in the marina's first year of business on the inland waterway. We're still here, and under the same family ownership after seven decades! Visit our historical archive for more vintage views! |

BOSTON WHALER SALES & SERVICE SINCE 1973
| The Lauderdale Marina Boston Whaler partnership was established in 1973. Our experienced team has remained the go-to group of Whaler specialists in South Florida for countless individuals and boating families throughout Broward County over the past 45 years. They choose Lauderdale Marina for assistance selecting the best boats for their needs, the award-winning service department and parts department. |
| The Lauderdale Marina Boat Sales Team was a major participant at the Miami International Boat Show in February. The dealership's new Boston Whaler demo boat (above) was seen throughout the show, both at the Miami Marine Stadium pavilion and on Biscayne Bay where she made quite an impression. She's a 350 Outrage, fully loaded with all the latest marine tech toys and she sports a stunning hull wrap! |
| In September 2017, Lauderdale Marina became the exclusive sales and servicing dealership for Albemarle Sportfishing Boats in Southeast Florida. This affiliation brings a new line of boats to fishermen and families who love the comfort, space, and amenities offered by this very popular manufacturer. The photos above show the interior of the Albemarle 41 Convertible. Call 954-523-8507 for more information. |
| Our award-winning restaurant at the marina is 15th Street Fisheries, a landmark dining establishment on the Intracoastal Waterway for the past 40 years. Opened in 1978, the Fisheries is owned and operated by the same family whose marina was founded thirty years hence. Continuing today, the restaurant offers lunch, dinner and drinks with the best waterway views in South Florida. Call 954-763-2777 for upstairs dinner reservations. Arrive by car, boat or the water taxi! We're at dock stop #5. |
| Your favorite wine with the most delicious seafood, the perfect combination, made even greater each Tuesday & Wednesday during the Fisheries Waterfront Wine Special, both upstairs for dinner and all day dockside! Enjoy 50% off all bottles from our award-winning wine list! Each bottle includes an amazing waterway view! |
| Join us on the marina docks every day when we feed these giant air-breathing fish between 5:00-6:00pm. You can personally feed the tarpon with shrimp available for purchase in the marina's adjacent dock store. Interacting with these amazing sea creatures is one of the most popular and unique attractions in the South Florida area. It's a fun activity before or after dining at the Fisheries, and is perfect for kids!

| In 2002, Bob Cox (Lauderdale Marina founder and co-founder of the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY) decided his love of vintage boats could be expressed best through the recreation of a "Number Boat" built in the style of the Mower boats from days long past. Bob engaged the help of Northend Composites and set about building this beautiful replica. The original design was by Charles D. Mower. |

| Number 21 has since been handed down through the family and was recently featured in the current issue of Classic Boating Magazine. The photos above show two of the Cox great-grandsons enjoying use of their family's boat on the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York and also on the Whiskey River in Fort Lauderdale. |
