Capital for Fort Lauderdale
hotels and marinas.

Running a hotel, B&B, marina, or charter operation in Fort Lauderdale means working a tighter calendar than nearly any other US hospitality market. From the late-October opening of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show through the December cruise high season, into January and February snowbird occupancy, into Spring Break compression, into the Easter tail of April — six months carries the entire year. By May, the beach corridor empties out, the charter calendar thins, and the operators who didn't bank capital through high season spend the summer fighting their daily debits.

Goliath funds Fort Lauderdale operators across every corridor. The A1A beach-strip hotels from Sunrise Boulevard down to Hollywood. The Las Olas boutique cluster and the Riverwalk-adjacent independents. The bay-view B&Bs along the Intracoastal. The yacht-charter operators berthing out of Bahia Mar and Pier Sixty-Six. The cruise-supply businesses servicing Port Everglades — one of the busiest cruise ports in the United States — including provisioning, ground transportation, laundry, and turnaround services for the Princess, Holland America, Celebrity, and Royal Caribbean rotations. The Dania Beach and Hollywood corridor hotels capturing the last-night cruise stay. The Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach family resorts. The downtown Fort Lauderdale business hotels picking up Convention Center and corporate-travel rooms.

The segments we fund every week

Beach-corridor independent boutiques and franchise-flag mid-scale hotels. Las Olas restaurant-with-rooms operators competing on TripAdvisor with the bigger flags. Intracoastal yacht-charter and captained-day-charter operators managing fleets of five to forty vessels. Marina-services businesses — fuel docks, repair yards, provisioning — feeding the entire South Florida charter ecosystem. Boat-show-week event venues and pop-up hospitality operators that do 15% of annual revenue in two weeks. Port Everglades cruise-turnaround businesses scaling weekly to handle 30,000+ embarkations on peak Saturdays. Hollywood and Hallandale Beach mid-scale family hotels. Wilton Manors and Oakland Park boutique operators serving the LGBTQ travel market. PIP-financing requests from every flag operator on the corridor.

What our typical Fort Lauderdale hospitality deal looks like

A beach-corridor 60-room boutique getting $200,000–$400,000 for a Hilton-mandated PIP ahead of franchise renewal. A Las Olas restaurant-with-rooms operator bridging slow August with a $125,000 advance against November boat-show reservations. A Bahia Mar charter operator buying out a fleet partner with a $500,000 working-capital loan structured over 24 months. A Port Everglades provisioning operator scaling for the December cruise ramp with a same-day $150,000 wire. A multi-property Hollywood beach group consolidating three stacked advances into a single 18-month structure that cuts daily debits by 35%. These are the deals we close every week.
