'Dockominiums' for 26 superyachts planned for Fort Lauderdale

A parking spot for $3 million?

That's what you'll pay for the largest superyacht dock at Harbour Twenty-Six in Fort Lauderdale, where 26 covered boat storage units are being sold like condominiums, each with a property title.

Prices start at $1.8 million for smaller docks, which can handle yachts starting at 80 feet long. Add several thousand dollars more every month to cover the cost of a clubhouse, swimming pool, security and other perks at the marina set for the Shady Banks neighborhood on the New River.

Developers call the project "the only fully covered dockominium megayacht marina in South Florida."

They're counting on owners of multimillion-dollar yachts to pay the price to ensure a parking spot in the "Yachting Capital of the World." Finding a space to fit their super-long boats in peak season can be as tough as parking your car in South Beach on a festival weekend. And forget about parking in the shade.

"Covered spaces for megayachts are coveted because they're few and far between in South Florida," said marine consultant Jim Bronstien of North Palm Beach, who is helping to manage the venture.
