The Venice of America
Fort Lauderdale Luxury Concierge
Azul Privé is the premier luxury concierge serving Fort Lauderdale, operated by Bluebnc Florida LLC. We are the single point of contact for every aspect of your lifestyle in the yachting capital of the world.
Fort Lauderdale has evolved from its spring-break past into one of America's most sophisticated coastal cities. With over 300 miles of navigable waterways — earning it the nickname "Venice of America" — world-class marinas including Bahia Mar and Lauderdale Marine Center, a 7-mile beach, and the cultural corridor of Las Olas Boulevard, it offers a lifestyle that combines nautical heritage with urban refinement.
The city is home to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), the world's largest in-water boat show, and serves as the winter base for hundreds of superyachts that migrate from the Mediterranean each year. Port Everglades, one of the world's busiest cruise ports, adds another dimension to the city's maritime identity.
Our clients include yacht owners, Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and discerning travelers from over 45 countries who choose Fort Lauderdale for its waterfront living, proximity to Miami, and unmatched yachting infrastructure. Whether you're here for FLIBS, a winter charter season, or building a permanent waterfront lifestyle, your dedicated lifestyle manager handles every detail.

Local Knowledge
Fort Lauderdale Insider Tips
The kind of knowledge that only comes from years of serving yacht owners and discerning travelers in Fort Lauderdale.
Water Taxi Happy Hour
The Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi isn't just transport — it's the best happy hour in town. Buy an all-day pass ($28) and hop between waterfront restaurants on the Intracoastal. Start at Kaluz, stop at 15th Street Fisheries, end at Shooters.
Bonnet House Secret Garden
Bonnet House Museum & Gardens is a hidden 35-acre estate on the beach. Built in 1920, it has wild monkeys, swans, and one of the finest orchid collections in Florida. Most tourists don't know it exists. Open Wednesday through Sunday.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Shore Diving
The reef at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea starts just 100 yards from shore — no boat needed. It's the best shore diving in mainland Florida. Rent gear from Gold Coast Scuba and walk right in. Sea turtles are regulars.
Las Olas Gallery Walk
The first Saturday of every month, Las Olas galleries stay open late with complimentary wine and artist receptions. Start at the east end and work west. The hidden courtyards between buildings contain some of the best galleries.
Bahia Mar Marina at Sunset
Walk the docks at Bahia Mar Marina around 5pm. During season, you'll see $10M+ sportfish boats and mega-yachts preparing for evening. The marina bar has the best sunset view in Fort Lauderdale — and it's free to walk the docks.
Brightline to Miami
Take Brightline first-class from Fort Lauderdale to Miami (30 min) or West Palm Beach (30 min). The Select lounge has complimentary drinks and snacks. It's the most civilized way to explore South Florida — no I-95 traffic.
