New departure procedure out of Fort Lauderdale VACAY 1 - Runway 10L. Departure is standard RNAV until AGERS.  Following AGERS; both the text and the plan view show vectors to FEMTO. The text for the departure states 'Track 307 for radar vectors to FEMTO...' Flying the departure; we continued on the 307 heading and never cleared to FEMTO or given vectors. We were handed off to Miami Center. We flew past FEMTO. After asking Miami Center for directions; they said they expected us to proceed to FEMTO on the departure; as depicted.  Miami Center stated that this was not the first time it happened; and that there was confusion within the Center regarding the procedures that should be followed. This new procedure needs to be corrected so that this type of procedural error does not occur.
Air carrier Captain reported a track heading deviation during departure from FLL on the VACAY 1.  The Captain stated they missed going to FEMTO during the departure as expected by ATC. Reporter also stated the Controller mentioned there is confusion with the procedure and that this was not the first time it happened.
