Questions

My pick in Fort Lauderdale is Crew Haven.

Have you written a note on a school here?

I have not written a note on a school here yet.

Where is the full crew house list?

The full crew house list for Fort Lauderdale is on the crew houses page (/crew-houses/fort-lauderdale).

When should I arrive in Fort Lauderdale?

Fort Lauderdale is a season, not a city you wander into. Dockwalking builds through October and November and peaks at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, 28 Oct to 1 Nov 2026. Be there that week. September and October are for arriving, settling in, and starting daywork. A quieter hiring wave runs March to May as boats prep for the Med. After the show, boats leave for the Caribbean and town quiets down. Summer is the quietest. July is too late. You need US work authorization to work from here. If you do not have it, this hub is closed for now.
