Port Everglades — Cruise Ships in Port, Live
The board below lists the cruise ships at Port Everglades right now, read live off AIS — plus 90 port & waterfront cameras within 8 km. Presence, not schedules. Free, no signup.
Port Everglades is the working harbour inside Fort Lauderdale's beach city — cruise terminals, the petroleum docks and the inlet all in one frame, and this wall holds a small prize: a camera the port itself publishes, inside a 90-camera wall of inlet, causeway and beach-district feeds within 8 km of the port centre.
The live board above it reads the inlet’s traffic the way a harbourmaster would: passenger vessels inside the board radius, named as they broadcast, marked in port when they are stopped and underway when they are moving through the inlet. On a cruise morning the board fills before the wall shows a single funnel — the ships arrive in the dark.
The board — who is in port right now
Every AIS passenger vessel inside Port Everglades’s board radius, named as it broadcasts, marked in port when it is stopped and underway when it is moving in the port area. Reports up to about ten minutes old are admitted; older reports are dropped, never carried forward as if live.

Live AIS presence · refreshes every 30 sListening for ships at Port Everglades…
This is a live presence board, not a departure board: it lists the passenger vessels transmitting inside the port area right now, from their own AIS broadcasts (up to about 10 minutes old — the feed drops anything older). No sailing times are shown, because no schedule feed backs them — for departure times, use the cruise line or the port authority.
Best time to watch Port Everglades
The inlet is the stage: ships thread the Port Everglades Inlet between the beach and the jetty, close enough that the shore cameras hold them for minutes at a time. Late-afternoon departures are the reliable spectacle; the 17th Street Causeway bridge lifts for the tall ones, and the wall catches both.
All 90 Port Everglades port cameras, live
Every catalogue camera within 8 km of the Port Everglades centre, nearest first — the wall this page’s count comes from. Port Everglades trafficcams — the port’s own published feed · SE 17th Street & Harbour Inlet Drive (Broward County).

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.

How to use the Port Everglades board
- 1Start with the board: it names the ships actually in port right now — if your ship is not listed, it is not transmitting here yet.
- 2Then watch the wall: find the berth-side and inlet cameras in the explorer and keep them open through the sailaway window.
- 3A ship marked 'underway in port area' is moving — casting off, arriving, or shifting berth; 'in port' means stopped at the berth or the anchorage.
- 4Check the weather panel before reading a hazy frame as a quiet port — harbour weather hides fleets whole.
- 5For departure times, use your cruise line or the port authority — this board measures presence and prints no times it cannot source.
