Learn More About Broward And Find Your Next Boat

Powerful and extravagant, Broward has been building boat for years that glorify contemporary style and luxury details. Established in 1948 by Frank Denison, Broward made its first appearance on the site of the former Dooley’s Basin & Dry Dock Company, which was organized initially for war efforts back in the day.  Soon the shipyard was renamed Broward Marine and began to start a service and repair business, which led to their first launch of a custom motor yacht, Stormy III – designed by an architect named John Wells. Since the 50s, Denison really took initiative in building boats over 140-170 feet for the Dutch and US Navies, but soon switched back to creating more leisure yachts built with aluminum. Denison’s sons came onboard to help successfully deliver all their yachts in the 80s – including flybridge, pilothouse and tri-deck models. As years went on, Broward was able to produce some of the most elite custom luxury yachts, launching more than 300 Broward yachts. In 2009, duo Bruce and Chris Moore took ownership of the company and soon incorporated the shipyard into Broward Shipyard, Inc offering custom yachts from 18 to 50 meters. Now with an impressive establishment in South Florida, Broward Yachts continues to fulfill those who love power and luxury within their yachts.

Broward Marine is a custom yacht builder that developed hull designs that became known and respected for being sea kindly and seaworthy, as well as efficient and beautiful. No two Broward yachts were the same, and with the slogan “Demand the Finest,” that reputation for quality has endured for over 60 years.

Frank Denison founded Broward Marine in 1948, when he purchased a Fort Lauderdale shipyard, then known as Dooley’s Dry Dock, while on his honeymoon with his wife, Gertrude. Frank & Gertrude later made many yachting innovations, including the installation of the first diesel engines in a yacht and the “Country Kitchen.”

Throughout the Korean War and World War II, Broward Marine constructed military vessels for the Dutch and U.S. Navy. It later began building custom yachts ranging between 60 and 165 feet and became the largest private employer in Broward County, Florida. Time Magazine acknowledged the 95’ Broward Alisa V as the largest private motor yacht built in the United States for 30 years. With a reputation for quality and value, Broward Marine, a family business, launched over 300 yachts.

Broward Yachts for Sale

A luxury yacht brand with more than 50 years of experience in building high-quality boats, Broward Yachts was originally known as Broward Marine. Founded in 1948, Broward Marine began by building wooden boats that were of the highest quality and value. During the 1970s Broward Marine embraced the introduction of aluminum and went on to deliver more than 300 custom luxury yachts ranging from 60 (18m) to 164 feet (50m) from the original yard in Fort Lauderdale and second yard in Saugatuck, Michigan. Today the yard is based on America’s east coast in Dania, Florida, where the renowned builders specialize in offering full refit, repair and maintenance services.

Broward Yachts History

Founded in 1948 by Frank Denison, the Fort Lauderdale shipyard Broward Marine began on the site of the former Dooley’s Basin & Dry Dock Company, a Fort Lauderdale shipyard and defense contractor which had closed after the Second World War. During Broward Marine’s first few years the yard successfully built military vessels ranging from 144 (44m) to 173 feet (53m) for the Dutch and US Navy. At the time the yard became the largest private employer in Broward County. After the end of the Korean War, the yard went on to become a service and repair yard and in 1953 the yard launched their first custom wooden motor yacht, the 53-foot (16m) STORMY III, designed by naval architect John Wells. The yard’s primary focus shifted to building custom luxury yachts, and five years later, the 82-foot (25m) JONATHAN III was built for Harry Blum, the then owner of Jim Beam Distilleries.

Broward Marine was originally known for its wooden boats, but in the mid-1970s the two shipyards embraced the introduction of aluminum and soon began building its traditional-looking yachts with the new metal in an all-aluminum series of motor yachts. The 1970s also saw Broward developing the first turbine-powered yacht, the 87-foot (27m) EVON, and in 1976 construction began on a new site on the north bank of the Kalamazoo River. The Michigan facility became so efficient it accounted for almost half of all the Broward yachts built after 1978.

During the latter part of the 20th century, Broward Marine developed a reputation for its high-quality builds and went on to build more than 300 Broward yachts between the original yard and the yard in Saugatuck, Michigan. Operating from the two yards, Broward was able to complete between six and eight builds per annum with as many as a dozen vessels under construction at any one time. At the time, the yacht-building industry was booming and with it came continuous innovations. One such modernization was the first-ever “country kitchen” galley, designed by Mrs. Denison; this remains a popular feature on yachts today. Throughout the proceeding decades, Broward Marine continued to launch many firsts, including the 112-foot (34m) BRITANNIA, which was able to reach speeds of up to 43 knots thanks to her triple Detroit Diesel engines. Then came the 130-foot (40m) tri-deck motor yacht PEGASUS, and in the early 1990s, the 156-foot (48m) BUBBA TOO, which at the time of her build was the largest US-built aluminum vessel ever commissioned.

At the end of the 20th century, Broward Marine was sold to Glenn Straub, and a decade later to Tom Lewis, who changed the name to Broward Yachts and moved all construction to a yard in Dania Beach in Broward County. The yard went on to specialize in the build of custom yachts ranging between 60 (18m) to 164 feet (50m) in length, with incredible performance. They have produced a number of notable yachts since 2000, including the 124-foot (38m) COCO LOCO (now VIVA MAS), which was delivered in 2008. The all-aluminum raised pilothouse with flybridge and an interior design by Evan K Marshall is a popular charter vessel. Today the yard specializes in offering full refit, repair and maintenance services from the shipyard in South Florida.

Broward Yachts may have finished building new custom yachts, but there are many Broward Yachts still cruising and available for charter. For further information on Broward Yachts for sale or to charter a Broward yacht, contact your Northrop & Johnson broker.

Broward Yachts for Sale

Broward yachts for sale | luke brown yachts.

In its 60-year history, Broward Marine developed a reputation for building custom yachts that appealed to the most discerning yachtsmen. The Broward teams designed and built yachts that were respected for their efficient hulls and seaworthiness. In 1999, ownership changed hands and the company was renamed to Broward Yachts. Broward’s reputation for quality endures today. Broward Marine was established by Frank Denison, in 1948, on the site of the former Dooley's Basin & Dry Dock Company, which had been organized in 1937 for the war effort and which had closed after the war. The yard was located where Lauderdale Marine Center is now, on the New River, just east of I-95: see it from the air on Google here. The Saugatuck yard was started in 1977, on the north bank of the Kalamazoo River, close to its outlet into Lake Michigan.(That huge house on the beach just west of the Saugatuck yard was built by Denison for his own use.) Ownership of the company changed hands in about 2000 and the new owners, called Broward Yachts, closed both yards and moved construction to a yard in Dania Beach, just south of Port Everglades, in Broward County. The new company failed in the Bush recession of 2009 but the yard is still going as a refit/repair facility, now under the name Broward Shipyard.

WEATHER ALERT

A rip current statement in effect for Coastal Broward and Coastal Miami Dade Regions

Man, 56, killed after being struck by vehicle on florida turnpike in broward.

Joseph Ojo , Reporter

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – Authorities responded to a fatal crash involving a 56-year-old pedestrian that they said temporarily shut down northbound lanes of the Florida Turnpike in Pompano Beach Wednesday morning.

It happened just before 3 a.m. according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

A Local 10 News crew was at the scene of the turnpike’s Coconut Creek Parkway exit in Pompano Beach where a yellow tarp was placed over the victim’s body as authorities continued to investigate.

Florida Highway Patrol officials said the pedestrian was walking across the Coconut Creek Parkway when a white Ford service truck moved to the center lane to avoid the pedestrian but the pedestrian abruptly moved into the center lane and was struck by the truck.

Tamarac Fire Rescue arrived at the scene where they pronounced the man dead.

A Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson did not identify the victim involved in the crash but confirmed he is from Williston.

Coconut Creek Parkway’s ramp toward the turnpike was temporarily closed but has since reopened. Traffic was temporarily delayed from Coconut Creek Parkway to south of Sample Road.

Authorities have not released any information on the victim involved in the crash and no arrests have been made at this time.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
