Docking Capacity: yacht size, beam, draft, and live-aboard limits

Plan for a slip that fits yachts up to 180 ft LOA, with beam up to 38 ft and draft up to 12 ft. For longer vessels, reserve a premium berth or staged docking option that can accommodate up to 210 ft LOA in select slips.

Dimension details: LOA: standard slips handle 110-150 ft; premium berths accommodate 170-210 ft. Beam: typical slips support 34-38 ft, with some marinas offering 40 ft for large yachts. Draft: most slips accept 12 ft; deep-draft pockets reach 14-16 ft with dredging and pilings nearby. Feadship yachts often benefit from the deeper pockets in the east basin.

Live-aboard limits: stays are capped at 30 days per visit, with extensions to 60 days possible by prior approval and seasonal allocations. Power options include 50A/240V and 100A/208V with 3-phase in premium slips, plus 400A in select mega slips. Fresh water and pump-out are on dock, and security is 24/7 in the blue zone. For a typical 100-120 ft vessel, expect monthly costs around $5,000-$9,000 depending on power use and season.

Dry Dock and Haul-Out: scheduling, safety checks, and service windows

Coordinate haul-out scheduling with the yard’s availability and international support networks; still reserve seven days for large motoryacht projects, and confirm a safety checklist before the first lift.

Choose Lauderdale Marine Center for full hull, deck, and machinery care, and set service windows that align with market demand. For complex refits, assign Adler Marine as contractor to provide full assistance and ensure a consistent flow of work, with a same-day start window when available, providing best value and market deals while ensuring steady throughput.

Safety checks kickoff: verify deck clearance, secure all decks and loose gear, confirm fendering plan, and confirm crane and rigging weights match the vessel. Lockout-tagout for all equipment, test life-safety gear, and review wildlife protection around the waterline to minimize wildlife contact and risk.

Service windows require coordination with the forward plan: know where to stage materials, when to rotate crews, and over what weather window you accept risk. These three phases–pre-lift, mid-dock, and launch–keep the project transparent and creating a reliable, repeatable process, minimizing sins of rush decisions while maintaining best practices.

On-Site Maintenance Programs: standard packages and turnaround timelines

Benetti Seasense Compatibility: systems, refits, and on-site support

Prioritize Seasense compatibility when buying or planning a refit; this ensures full integration across power, control, and styling, reducing downtime and protecting asset value. This approach is graced with clear milestones, natural communication, and built-in redundancies across the Seasense architecture. Seasense works with itself to provide consistent data across modules, simplifying maintenance. thats why we recommend starting now with Seasense-aligned upgrades.

• Styling and user interfaces remain natural and intuitive, with a unified look across zones to maintain the same experience for crew and guests.
• Entertainment, climate control, and security modules integrate through a single control layer, reducing hardware duplication and ensuring reliable performance.
• Documentation and warranties are consolidated, with one owner manual covering main and second systems, helping with sale or leasing reviews.

Refits: planning and execution

2. Prioritize high-impact upgrades: power management, network reliability, and styling interfaces that boost crew efficiency and guest comfort.
3. Source components from Benetti-authorized partners to ensure compatibility; lock in a 12–16 week plan that minimizes vessel downtime.
4. Arrange on-site commissioning with a dedicated support team, including pre-delivery checks and post-delivery adjustments to guarantee working performance before handover, plus last-mile tests to confirm stability.

On-site support and local network
