Well maintained marina and resort with quite an attentive staff. The restaurants is a great respite. Outstanding views, food and drinks. Make sure to ask for Ms Wild Goose, she's the best!

Tide boards accurate... hard to see , northbound

We are just shy of 65'air draft and cleared with a couple feet of space, per an observers vessel. This was 2.5 hrs past low tide. The board is tucked in a bit on right side. We'd recommend boats favor the left to get a better sighting of the boards then pass in center.

4/13/22 Bridge is under construction and even though there is 65ft clearance at low tide, the workers are taking up a majority of the horizontal clearance making it impossible for a 23ft beam 65ft catamaran to pass, even at low tide.

Marina Review for Las Olas Marina - Temporarily Closed For Renovations

FYI, Las Olas officially closes 4/1 (no not April Fools joke). Sun-Tec is completely tearing out the existing marina, excavating the parking lots into more slips, etc. Expected delivery is about 2 years. But, that ETA is, I'm assuming, an estimate. FYI, we're a 40' cat, they could only fit our beam in a 70' slip, which we are paying the full 70'.

2.18.22 @ 12:30p (1hr post low tide) s/v Fuzzy Logic cleared the bridge, scraping the VHF antenna. Fuzzy Logic is 65ft, all in. There was NO clearance board. Bridge is listed at 65ft, which is suppose to represent mean high tide.

  Bridge clearance is listed at 65 feet on NOAA chart.
