F3 Marina offers direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and is minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean via the Port Everglades Inlet. Built in 2021, the 59,000 square-feet facility features a category five hurricane-rated structure with a fully automated storage system capable of handling vessels up to 14-metre in length.

The marina comprises 249 rental drystack racks and 21 wet slips for vessel staging, with a business model focused on boat storage. The focus, combined with Fort Lauderdale’s status as a global yachting hub and the area’s high barriers to entry, makes the property attractive to both seasoned marina operators and commercial real estate investors entering the sector.

Tours of the marina are available by appointment, with limited availability from 13-15 May and 20-22 May. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Matt Putnam at Colliers (Matt.Putnam@colliers.com) to schedule a site visit.

As the bid deadline approaches, F3 Marina Fort Lauderdale represents an opportunity for investors to acquire an asset in one of the most active boating markets in the United States.
