List My Dock Free →Finding a boat slip in Miami 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 Miami 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. Biscayne Bay spans over 425 square miles and provides direct access to the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, and the open Atlantic.
Private dock rental rates in Miami typically range from $40–$150 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.
The Miami area offers exceptional boating across multiple waterways and neighborhoods:
Daily and weekly rentals are ideal for cruisers passing through, seasonal visitors, or boaters who need temporary dockage while their regular slip is unavailable. Monthly rentals in Miami work well for liveaboards, seasonal residents, and owners who want a consistent home base without a long-term marina commitment. Most dock owners on Lease-A-Dock offer both options — filter by rental type when searching.
1. Browse listings — search by location, boat size, and dates to find available slips near Miami.
2. Request a booking — send your dates and vessel details to the dock owner. Most owners respond within 24 hours.
3. Arrive and dock — coordinate directly with the owner for access details. No marina staff, no check-in lines.
