About Lauderdale Marina
Operating along Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal Waterway since 1948, Lauderdale Marina has served the South Florida boating community as a family-owned full-service marine facility for over 75 years. The business occupies a strategic position at 1900 Southeast 15th Street, minutes from Port Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean inlet, making it a convenient hub for vessel owners throughout Broward County, from Hollywood to Pompano Beach.
The marina's comprehensive boat repair and maintenance capabilities center on experienced mechanics who handle engine diagnostics, routine service, and major repair work across all vessel types. Their technical team addresses everything from preventive engine maintenance to emergency mechanical issues, drawing on decades of marine industry knowledge. Bottom painting services form another core offering, with technicians applying protective coatings that guard against marine growth and corrosion while maintaining hull performance. General marine repair and maintenance round out their service portfolio, providing vessel owners with complete care options under one roof.
Fuel services distinguish this facility from many competitors in the Fort Lauderdale area. A 365-foot fuel dock delivers both diesel and ethanol-free gasoline to vessels of all sizes, while specialized fuel polishing ensures stored fuel remains clean and engine-ready. These capabilities address a critical need for boaters who depend on reliable fuel quality for safe operation on South Florida waters.
Boat storage and docking solutions at Lauderdale Marina accommodate yachts up to 165 feet, with secure slips available for both short-term and extended stays. The facility's location on the Intracoastal Waterway provides protected access while maintaining proximity to popular cruising destinations. This combination of security, convenience, and capacity has made the marina a longstanding choice for local boat owners and transient vessels alike.
As an authorized Boston Whaler dealership, Lauderdale Marina also maintains a sales operation featuring new and preowned boats from 13 to 42 feet. Their sales team brings extensive marine industry expertise to the vessel selection process, backed by the same service infrastructure that supports their repair and maintenance operations. This integration allows boat buyers to establish a long-term service relationship from the point of purchase.
The three-generation family ownership structure has enabled Lauderdale Marina to build lasting customer relationships while adapting to evolving marine technology and service standards. Their combination of traditional marine craftsmanship and modern equipment positions them to meet diverse vessel care needs throughout the Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area, where the concentration of boats and yachts continues to drive demand for experienced, reliable marine service providers.

I tell friends, family and anyone interested in buying a boat that Lauderdale Marina is the ONLY place to make that purchase! We live on the water on the east side of FLL and decided this year we would buy a new Boston Whaler.

My husband and I were in the market for a boat and we did not really know what the best fit was for our boating needs. We contacted Lauderdale Marina and met Tom Shelton. He was amazing.

Job well done Tommy Shelton & Lauderdale Marina Team! As our family has grown we needed a bigger boat. Since Lauderdale Marina had been servicing our 22' Triton, we asked them for advice.

I’ve been coming to Lauderdale Marina for fuel and last minute essentials for years and it’s always a great experience even on weekends when they are really busy.

I come to 15th St Fisheries as a patron quite often for my boat fuel and for lunch. The deck hands are all top of the top people!

Always a great experience at the Lauderdale Marina. They do everything possible to accommodate. Jordan always has a great attitude with service and no job is ever too big or small.

Beware.
Visited last Friday. Purchased 150 gallons of fuel and lunch at 15th St Fisheries on site. And then suddenly as we're departing the dockhand comes running towards us yelling that we owe a $350 pickup fee for picking people up.
So let's break this down. First, we did not pickup or drop-off anyone. Guests onboard changed clothes and maybe the dockhand thought these were different people? Perhaps. But his actions were unprofessional. Yelling at the captain while he's departing the dock about a questionable fee is a good reason never to come back here on its own.
Second, the fee itself is ridiculous. If someone did depart the boat while we're having lunch, does that really necessitate a $350 fee? Much less on top of a $900 fuel bill? Absurd, petty.
Thankfully, sites like this now exist where we can share these experiences so other boaters know about Lauderdale Marina's shady ways in the future.
