We get nuclear aircraft, cargo ships, navy vessels, you name it, in this port,” said Robey.

It takes two to juggle megayacht dockage in 9 feet of draft

Marina manager Brad St. Coeur’s job is a puzzle. Each day he and dockmaster Mike Voelker draw little yachts on the marina map at Sunrise Harbor Marina in Ft. Lauderdale. “The only way to do this is to hand-write it,” St. Coeur said. About 2,500 linear feet of dockage is divided among four docks at this Westrec marina on the Intracoastal Waterway a few miles north of Port Everglades. The docks range from 100-420 feet and with dockage on both sides, the configurations seem limitless.

Dockmaster career started with summer job

Because David Rogers likes to go fast in a good, strong breeze, he took a sailing course in college. And because it was where the classes were held, he hung out at Charleston City Marina. So when it became time for a summer job, he simply asked the people he knew, and he was hired. Now he’s harbormaster of the marina in charge of 40 acres of water, 425 slips and the 1,530-foot MegaDock fueling station.
