    Does anyone know of an available dock to rent for Hatteras 58LRC? Beam is 17'11; she draws 5'6. No liveaboards, she's for sale.

    Thanks!

    I know of one in Lauderdale By The Sea. Tall pilings and only a 30' dock, has 2 cleats on the seawall on both sides of the dock, owner had a 63' Ocean there a few years back, but dock is in so so shape, has a single 50 amp.....email me if you want the owners contact info, BUT you'd have to go inspect it yourself.

    Have you tried Dock Finders? I needed dockage for a boat for sale last year she found us something right away.

    Thanks, Pascal. I didn't want to air dirty laundry, but have used Dockfinders intermittently for years. I recently had bad and costly experiences with DF on two separate boats. One boat has moved docks 3 times due to unacceptable dock conditions that occurred after tying up (dock collapse, ongoing construction, unretrieved dog poop). One dock owner has taken legal action against my boat owner in a grossly unfair, one-sided situation. DF is loyal to the dock owners and unconcerned about negligence on their part, damage to the vessel, nor in resolving the situation.

    Sorry to post this, but I didn't want the DF suggestion to look like one I would consider.
