Ft Lauderdale is absolutely not the Yacht capital of the world. Sydney? Auckland? Southampton? Garda? Croatia's rocketing up the charts too. Or maybe you mean things with engines in which case St Tropez, Monaco, some place called the Caribbean seems quite popular too.

Why don't you try Googling Yatch Capital of the World...it's not my given title. A lot of the Yatchs you see in those places that you mention will have been purchased at the International Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, the largest such show in the World, I go every year and to Miami's too.

Edit: to get an idea do a Google image search of Fort Lauderdale International Boat show. As to your quip about things with motors, South Florida is also home to the largest cruiseships in the world (>100,000 tonnage) that are dubbed floating cities.
