Does the home work for your boat?

A 50-foot boat’s length is only the start. Check its width, depth below the water and height above it. Trace the full route from the dock to the inlet, check current conditions, and confirm your right to use the dock.

Las Olas Isles / Rio Vista

Trace the exact canal, New River / Intracoastal crossings and Port Everglades route. An area name does not guarantee no fixed bridges.

Local context

Harbor Beach

Verify the exact association, deeded dock or beach rights and the route used by the chosen address.

Local context

Coral Ridge

Separate the exact canal and area boundary; trace every bridge and turning constraint.

Local context

Lighthouse Point / Pompano

Review the Hillsboro Inlet route, current notices and address-specific depth. A maintenance plan does not guarantee present clearance.

Local context

Boca waterfront

Review the chosen inlet route and current shoaling notices. Do not assume a standard safe draft or transit time from the listing label.

What can be established now?

The SE 17th Street rule, effective 19 February 2026, uses hourly openings in the weekday 6:50–9:10 a.m. and 3:50–6:10 p.m. windows. Published nominal closed clearance is 55 feet at mean high water. These facts do not establish the clearance at your tide, current channel depth or your vessel’s safe passage.

Still address-specific: dated soundings, vessel dimensions, turning room, dock permission, seawall engineering, replacement permits, flood elevation, current insurance and a tested transit plan. Unknowns stay unknown; RET does not certify navigation.
