Renting a Dock in Key West, FL

Finding a boat slip in Key West has traditionally meant joining marina waitlists, paying brokerage fees, or settling for a slip that doesn't fit your boat or schedule. Lease-A-Dock changes that by connecting boaters directly with private dock owners across Key West and the surrounding waterways — no middlemen, no long-term commitments required.

Whether you need a single-night slip for a coastal cruise, a weekly berth while visiting the area, or a stable monthly arrangement, you'll find flexible options posted by real local dock owners. Key West sits at Mile Marker 0 of the Overseas Highway — a world-class destination for sailing, diving, and offshore fishing year-round.

How Much Does a Boat Slip Cost in Key West?

Private dock rental rates in Key West typically range from $50–$175 per day, depending on slip size, location, water type (Intracoastal vs. ocean access vs. bay), and included amenities such as shore power, water hookup, and security lighting. Monthly rates negotiated directly with dock owners are generally significantly lower on a per-day basis than short-term bookings.

Unlike marina slip fees — which can include mandatory club memberships, fuel minimums, and rigid annual contracts — private dock rentals on Lease-A-Dock are priced by the owner and booked on your terms. The platform charges a small service fee to the renter; owners receive 100% of their listed dock cost.
