THE YACHTING CAPITAL

The Venice of America runs on the water

Three hundred miles of canals, the world's biggest boat show, and a cruise port that never stops boarding. The buyers here skew affluent, waterfront, and brand-loyal — worth serving with a lane that shows up on time.

THE MARINA ROW

The yachting capital's home dock

Fort Lauderdale hosts the world's largest in-water boat show and the largest charter fleet in the Western Hemisphere. We fulfill marine parts, yacht accessories, and high-AOV nautical brands for the waterfront market — and ramp capacity every fall when the boat show floods the docks.

THE GOLD COAST

Premium DTC, three markets deep

Las Olas and Coral Ridge buy premium beauty and fashion. Wilton Manors is one of America's most prominent LGBTQ+ communities, with strong lifestyle and event-driven demand. Port Everglades cruise traffic adds year-round travel-gear buyers on top. One lane serves all three.

FBA ROUTING

South Florida FCs, prepped in-house

FBA inventory routes to the Miami and Fort Lauderdale facilities. FNSKU labeling, polybagging, and split-shipment routing handled at our dock — consolidated outbound from LA keeps split shipments off your books.

THE REGATTA CALENDAR

South Florida demand moves with the boating calendar. We stage inventory before every season — including the one that comes with a name and a cone.

THE SHIP'S PAPERS

Everything documented before departure

PAPER 01

The Latin America handoff

Port Everglades is a gateway to the Caribbean, Colombia, and Brazil. We handle U.S. fulfillment from our LA dock and coordinate the handoff to your Port Everglades freight forwarder — one chain of custody, documented end to end.

PAPER 02

The hurricane buffer

South Florida brands keep buffer inventory with us in California to insulate against hurricane-season warehouse closures. We monitor carrier alerts during named storms and flag paused ZIPs before your customers notice.

PAPER 03

One lane, the whole Gold Coast

The same 5-day ground lane covers Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, and the greater Miami metro — 6 million people in one carrier sweep. One rate card, no regional surcharges.
