On departure from FXE the tower did not hand me off to departure in time to contact Miami Departure and thus I entered the outer ring of the Class Charlie airspace of FLL (which overhangs FXE) and they informed me of an airspace violation. It was never the intent to enter the airspace; but when I climb at 3700 FPM; I entered the airspace at 1200 MSL quickly; and faster than the controllers could switch me over. Next time I will hold 1200 ft until I am switched.
Pilot reported an airspace violation he attributed to ATC not switching him soon enough to get clearance to enter Class Charlie airspace.
