When a town takes its name from a fish, you know it’s bound to be serious about boating. Famous for its fishing and boating lifestyle, Pompano Beach sits in the heart of Florida’s “Gold Coast” halfway between Palm Beach and Miami. The area offers boaters a variety of parks, waterfront venues and events like lighted boat parades and fishing rodeos. Whether you’re diving the wrecks, snorkeling the reefs or fishing for pompano, owning a boat in Pompano Beach provides year-round leisure and outdoor recreation. But where do you dock it? Read on for our choices for the top five boat docks for rent in Pompano, Beach, Florida.

Harbor Village Pompano Dock

This private boat dock for rent is located just off the ICW in Pompano Beach. We think it’s the perfect choice if you have a boating buddy. Since the host, Cecelia, prefers two smaller boats in the 30 – 35-foot range (rather than one 60-foot boat), it makes a great starting point for a friendly fishing tournament or a multiple family outing. Two small bowriders or 30-foot sportfish boats would fit nicely.

The dock has a nice wide walkway for getting on and off of the boat. Boat whips are a nice option in addition to the cleats and pilings. Utilities include 30-amp and 15/20-amp power along with a 120-volt outlet. Access to the Atlantic is available through Hillsboro Inlet. Boat maintenance and liveaboards are not permitted.

80 Foot Boat Dock in Lighthouse Point

Hosted by Susan, this boat slip rental is located near Lighthouse Point on the North Side. It offers easy access to the Atlantic through Hillsboro Inlet. The dock is 80 feet in length and offers 30-amp and 50-amp power as well as cleats and pilings. There’s nearby beach access and restaurants and retail shops.

This Pompano Beach boat dock is accessible during daylight hours, making it a great anchorage for day trips, deep sea fishing and ICW cruising. Water is available so you can rinse off the deck after a day of fishing. Maintenance and liveaboards are not permitted.

Oasis

We like this Pompano Beach boat dock for the addition of boat whips, an outdoor shower and toilets. Water is also available. Boat dock renters can use the pool when the host, Marc, is not there. This 72-foot dock has 50 feet of available space. There’s 30-amp and 50-amp power, a 120-volt outlet, cleats and pilings.

It’s located in a quiet residential neighborhood with on-site security and 24-hour accessibility. Boat maintenance is allowed, but liveaboards are not. You can access the Atlantic through Hillsboro Inlet or the Boca Raton Inlet, which is a bit further north at Lake Boca Raton.

Hillsboro Shores

The best thing about this boat dock for rent is the 24-hour accessibility for maintenance, liveaboards or just spending the day on the water. It’s also about five minutes to the ocean via the Hillsboro Inlet, which we also kinda love.

Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, it’s accessible by car from A1A or Route 1 and has nearby beach access. The 70-foot private dock, on 140 feet of waterfront property, can accommodate up to a 115-foot boat. It has a 120-volt outlet, 100 and 50-amp power, cleats and pilings. The addition of Wi-Fi is nice for chartplotting and other navigational devices.

The host, Derik, prefers a dock rental of a month or longer, which makes this a great option for a long-term dock rental or for those who want to stay on their boat. And, really, if you have a 100-foot boat, wouldn’t you want to live on it? There is a liveaboard surcharge. 

Paradise Oasis Space Included

We love this Zen-like boat dock for its extras as much as its docking space. There’s a pool, an outdoor bathroom, a grill and a super cute tiki hut with lounge furniture. A sport fishing boat or cabin cruiser would fit in nicely at this 42-foot dock.  

Hosted by Nikki, this new dock sits on a canal behind a home protected by security cameras and a locked gate. You’ll have 24-hour access to your boat, and you can stay on board for a vacation week or as a full-time liveaboard. There’s 30, 50 and 100-amp power and a 120-volt outlet.

Other benefits of this boat dock rental include Wi-Fi, parking and nearby restaurants, shops and businesses. Boat maintenance is permitted at this Pompano Beach private dock rental. For ocean access, steer toward Hillsboro Inlet for a day of deep-sea fishing, diving or cruising.
