With the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show approaching, South Florida’s boating lifestyle is once again in the spotlight.

For boaters, not all waterfront homes are created equal. The right fit goes beyond the home itself. Private dockage or marina access, water depth, bridge clearance and the route to open water can all influence where, and how, it makes sense to live. For buyers who spend as much time thinking about the water as the home, those details can become an important part of the real-estate decision.
