        "text": "Bridge clearances and canal depths are critical considerations for boaters in South Florida. Properties along canals with numerous low bridges may limit the size and type of vessel, especially sailboats or boats with tall superstructures. Shallower canals can restrict larger drafts. This is a practical tradeoff: properties with direct, unrestricted ocean access often command higher prices due to their convenience for larger vessels, while those on canals with bridge restrictions might be more affordable but require a smaller boat. Kelby Contreras can provide insights into local waterway specifics when evaluating potential waterfront homes.",
