The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is one of the most exciting events in South Florida, celebrating the luxury of being surrounded by water. This year’s boat show is taking place October 27 through 31 and is the largest in-water boat show in the world. With 677 boats taking part in this year's show, there is no shortage of beautiful boats and megayachts that are calling your name.
But the most important part of purchasing a new boat is having somewhere to dock it, and what's better than docking it in your own backyard. “Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capital of the world and has some of the most coveted waterfront properties built to cater to the ultimate boating lifestyle,” said Chad Carroll. We have teamed up with Chad Carroll, of Compass’ The Chad Carroll Group to see some of the most spectacular waterfront homes that are currently on the market. Carroll has carefully curated the perfect homes to accompany one of the many boats at the show, he explained “From massive docks to accommodate multiple boats, to expansive outdoor spaces for entertaining and stunning interiors - these properties have everything you need."
Listed for $31 Million, 2412 Laguna Drive is all you could want and more in a waterfront home.
