Boating in Florida offers very different experiences for cruisers from the island flavor of the Florida Keys to the nightlife of Miami and the glitz of Palm Beach. The warm weather brings boaters from the North to enjoy the Florida sunshine. Marinas in Florida offer every type of experience for the day cruiser, the sportfisher to the mega yachts. Fort Lauderdale has traditionally been known as the mega yacht capital of the world and is home to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show which takes place every October at several Florida Marinas including Bahia Mar Yachting Center and the Hyatt Pier 66 Marina. Marinas in Florida also offer boaters an easy jumping off point for the Bahamas or the Gulf Coast and Mexico. Don't miss out on the fresh seafood in Florida especially the stone crabs which you can sample as you visit marinas in Florida..
