AS SEEN IN




THE SHORE-DIVING CAPITAL OF SOUTH FLORIDA
A lauderdale-by-the-sea yacht rental through Crown Yachts Miami means exclusive use of a fully crewed private vessel departing from the marinas just north and south of town, minutes from the reef. One group, one boat, no shared passengers. The fleet covers 55+ luxury yachts from 40-foot sport boats to 116-foot superyachts, with a licensed captain and crew on every booking. Every yacht charter lauderdale-by-the-sea booking is handled the same way: fully private, fully crewed, and managed from first inquiry to return.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is unlike any other departure on this coast. Its living coral reef begins about 100 yards off the beach, the closest reef to shore in the continental US, and the historic SS Copenhagen shipwreck lies just offshore as an underwater preserve. Anglin's Fishing Pier, Datura Avenue, and the Old Florida beach town frame the shoreline. From here a charter can anchor over the reef to snorkel and dive, run north to the Hillsboro Inlet lighthouse, or south to the Las Olas Isles, and Bimini is one of the closest Bahamas crossings in the US.
Every boat rental lauderdale-by-the-sea visitors book through Crown Yachts Miami is fully customizable before you board. Add a private chef, professional DJ, catering service, custom decoration, or VIP transport from your Lauderdale-by-the-Sea address directly to the marina dock.

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Fleet
Private charter yachts available for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea departures from the Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale marinas. Captain and crew included on every booking.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A lauderdale-by-the-sea yacht rental or boat rental is simpler than most people expect. You contact us, we send a curated shortlist of available yachts, and you show up at the marina. A licensed captain and full crew are on board before you arrive. Here is what every booking includes from first inquiry to return.
INQUIRE NOWLauderdale-by-the-Sea is a small Old Florida beach town just north of Fort Lauderdale, and it sits on top of one of the only living coral reefs in the continental US that is close enough to snorkel from shore. The reef begins roughly 100 yards off the beach, and the historic SS Copenhagen shipwreck lies just offshore as an underwater preserve. A lauderdale-by-the-sea yacht rental puts you directly over that reef, with Anglin's Fishing Pier, Datura Avenue, and El Prado Park framing the shoreline.
Every Crown Yachts Miami Lauderdale-by-the-Sea charter is a fully private booking. No shared passengers, no group tour format, no other guests on board. Your group boards, the yacht departs, and every detail of the day belongs entirely to you. The vessel, captain, and crew are available exclusively to your group for the entire charter duration.
The nearshore reef tract off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea holds tropical fish, sea turtles, and coral in clear, shallow water, and the SS Copenhagen wreck is one of the most popular snorkel and dive sites in Broward County. A charter can anchor over the reef for snorkeling before cruising past Anglin's Pier and back down the Intracoastal. No other stretch of the South Florida coast puts the reef this close to shore.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea charters depart from Sands Harbor Marina in Pompano Beach just to the north, or from Sunrise Harbor Marina and Bahia Mar in Fort Lauderdale to the south, each a short run along the Intracoastal or the coast. Every departure point is a full-service marina with deep-water slips and easy drop-off access, giving quick reach to the reef, the Hillsboro Inlet, and the beach anchorages.
The private chef, professional DJ with full sound and lighting, custom decoration, and catering service are coordinated and loaded before your group boards. No day-of logistics. Everything in place from the moment the yacht leaves the dock near Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea yacht charters are available in 3-hour, 4-hour, 6-hour, and 8-hour formats. A 3-hour charter covers the reef, Anglin's Pier, and a beach cruise. A 4 to 6-hour charter adds the SS Copenhagen wreck, a north run to Hillsboro Inlet and its lighthouse, or a south run to the Las Olas Isles. Multi-day charters to the Bahamas are available on select vessels, with quick ocean access through the nearby inlets.

Select a marina to see the location
Pompano Beach
A full-service resort marina on the Intracoastal in Pompano Beach, minutes north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and close to the Hillsboro Inlet. Deep-water slips and easy access make it a convenient departure for reef snorkeling charters and for routes heading north toward the lighthouse or the Pompano reef and drop-off.
A modern full-service marina on the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal just south of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, near the Galleria. Deep-water berths and a quiet, low-traffic boarding experience, with a short run north up the coast to the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea reef or south to the Las Olas Isles.
Marinas along the Hillsboro Inlet and Lighthouse Point, north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea beside the historic Hillsboro Lighthouse. The inlet gives the quickest deep-water ocean access on this stretch of coast, making it a strong departure for offshore fishing and reef runs, with the lighthouse as a scenic landmark.
The historic Bahia Mar marina on A1A in Fort Lauderdale, home of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and a landmark deep-water yachting center, a short run south of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. It handles larger yachts and gives immediate access to Port Everglades inlet and the Las Olas Isles for charters routing south.
A modern full-service marina at the base of the Las Olas Boulevard bridge by Fort Lauderdale Beach, south of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Well suited to charters that pair a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea reef stop with a cruise through the Las Olas Isles canals and Millionaire's Row on the way back.

WHERE YOU CAN GO
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea puts the reef right off the beach. The nearshore coral, the SS Copenhagen wreck, and Anglin's Pier within minutes of the marina, plus the Hillsboro lighthouse to the north and the Las Olas Isles to the south. These are the most requested stops on every lauderdale-by-the-sea boat rental and yacht charter route.
Select a destination to see where it is
The living coral reef off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea starts roughly 100 yards from the beach, the closest reef to shore anywhere in the continental US and the most requested stop on any lauderdale-by-the-sea yacht charter. Tropical fish, sea turtles, and coral fill the clear, shallow water. A charter anchors over the reef for snorkeling and diving just minutes from the marina.
The SS Copenhagen, a steamship that ran aground in 1900, lies just off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea as a Florida Underwater Archaeological Preserve in shallow water. Encrusted with coral and swarming with fish, it is one of the best-known snorkel and dive wrecks in Broward County and an easy anchor stop on a reef charter. A signature Lauderdale-by-the-Sea underwater experience.
Anglin's Fishing Pier is the historic heart of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a landmark wooden pier at the end of Commercial Boulevard surrounded by the town's shops and cafes. Viewed from the water it frames the whole beachfront, and the reef around the pier is a productive spot for a nearshore fishing or snorkeling stop on a charter.
Just north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, the Hillsboro Inlet is marked by the historic Hillsboro Lighthouse, one of the most powerful lighthouses on the Atlantic coast. A north run along the beach or up the Intracoastal reaches the inlet and the lighthouse, a scenic turnaround point, with productive fishing water and the deep-water inlet for ocean access nearby.
Pompano Beach sits just north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea with its own stretch of Atlantic shoreline, the Pompano Beach pier, and a productive reef and drop-off offshore. A short cruise north reaches the Pompano beachfront and its nearshore reef, a popular addition to a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea charter focused on snorkeling and beach time.
A south run from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea reaches the mansion-lined Las Olas Isles of Fort Lauderdale, the canals known as the Venice of America. Pairing a morning reef snorkel off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea with an afternoon cruise through the Las Olas Isles and Millionaire's Row is one of the most complete charter itineraries on this coast.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is one of the closest US points to the Bahamas, with Bimini roughly 50 nautical miles across the Gulf Stream from the nearby inlets. A charter reaches deep water through the Hillsboro Inlet or Port Everglades in minutes, making the town a practical starting point for an overnight or multi-day Bahamas crossing on select vessels with a full professional crew and concierge service throughout.

MESSAGE ON WHATSAPPWHY LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA
Crown Yachts Miami is Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's private charter fleet for yacht rentals, boat rentals, and reef snorkeling charters from the Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale marinas. Every booking is fully private, fully crewed, and managed from first inquiry to return.

A lauderdale-by-the-sea boat rental or yacht charter through Crown Yachts Miami puts your group directly over the living coral reef that begins about 100 yards off the beach. The SS Copenhagen shipwreck lies just offshore, and Anglin's Fishing Pier frames the beachfront. A charter anchors over the reef to snorkel and dive, then cruises the coast or the Intracoastal. Crown Yachts Miami operates 55+ luxury yachts from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea departures, with a licensed captain and full crew on every booking.

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea handles a growing volume of private group charters built around the reef, for residents, beach-area guests, and corporate clients. The nearshore coral makes every route immediately memorable whether you are booking a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea birthday yacht charter, a bachelorette boat party, or a private sunset cruise. Crown Yachts Miami coordinates every detail before your group boards. No other guests, no shared deck.

The licensed captain, crew, and boat are the foundation of every lauderdale-by-the-sea yacht rental. Crown Yachts Miami coordinates the full service package on top of that: a private chef preparing a custom menu on board, full catering service for any group format, a DJ with professional sound and lighting set up on deck, custom event decoration for birthdays, proposals, and anniversaries, and VIP transport from your Lauderdale-by-the-Sea address to the marina dock. Nothing to coordinate on the day of the charter.

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's reef and Old Florida character make it a natural departure for reef snorkeling and diving, proposals on the water, anniversary cruises, and private dinner cruises. Because the Hillsboro Inlet gives quick deep-water access, it is also a strong base for deep sea fishing charters. A full-day charter snorkels the reef in the morning, cruises to the Hillsboro lighthouse or the Las Olas Isles midday, and finishes with a sunset run down the Intracoastal.
