Shark Moving – Your Fisher Island Moving Company

Fisher Island has no bridge. Everything that moves on or off the island goes on the ferry of the Fisher Island Community Association (FICA), and a moving crew counts as a vendor: registered with the association, cleared by its security and booked on the commercial ferry from Terminal East on the MacArthur Causeway. Shark Moving is registered with FICA, and we run island moves in trucks under the ferry's 24-foot limit.

Homes on the island belong to condominium and homeowners associations, and a move needs your association's approval before FICA's. We send the association our certificate of insurance in the form it asks for — naming FICA as an additional insured when the building requires coverage — reserve the service elevator, and pad the elevator and the hallways before the first piece comes out.

Inside the home we work as white glove movers: furniture wrapped in blankets and stretch film, art and antiques crated, mirrors and stone tops boxed to size, and everything placed and assembled in the rooms you choose. If the new home is not ready yet, your belongings wait in our climate-controlled storage.

Moving on Fisher Island: What to Know

Fisher Island is an unincorporated community in Miami-Dade County, south of Miami Beach, with 561 residents in the 2020 Census. There is no bridge or causeway: the island is reached by FICA's ferry, which runs around the clock from two terminals on the MacArthur Causeway — Terminal West at 190 for residents and guests, Terminal East at 112 for employees and commercial vehicles.

Moving trucks go on the commercial ferry, which runs Monday to Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., and vehicles must be under 24 feet long and 8 feet wide, so a standard 26-foot moving truck does not fit. FICA registers contractors and runs a background check on each worker; its rules allow contractor work Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with workers off the island by 5:30 p.m., and none on major holidays. The commercial ferry also stops for two weeks over December and January, on dates FICA announces each year.

Approval comes in two steps: first your building's association, then FICA. If the association requires insurance, the certificate must name FICA as an additional insured. Tell us your move date early, and we arrange both approvals and the ferry around it.

Oren Amram

Shark moving and storage move me apartments within the same building. The owner Russel was a pleasure to arrange the move with. He made it simple and quoted me a very fair price. There were no surprises. What I love most is that he sent two guys who were very professional and friendly. They did everything seamlessly and professionally. They were very careful and very patient. They were not like typical movers who are fast and aggressive and add to the stress. They reduced all the stress and made it easy. It was really white glove service!!!! I would recommend them to all my family members and friends and will definitely use them for any of my moving needs. There were no surprises and the quote was exact. If you want to move with people who know what they are doing and make your move simple and easy, go with shark moving and storage!

As a Real Estate Broker, we have used many moving companies during the years but Shark Moving Miami is the BESTest. They showed up on time ( 3 mins earlier, which is very unusual for FL ). Mike and his partner are beyond professional and super careful about the things they moved. From now on, Shark Moving will be the only company we will use. Strongly recommend.

Those guys are always great. They did a really good job at Pilates Tropics Studio; the equipment is so big, and they moved it so fast and on time. The guys are super helpful, quick, and careful with the move. Brazilians in Miami can hire their services without fear.
