Itinerary
We begin our journey from the Intracoastal side of Fort Lauderdale Beach. BYOBathing suits and jump on the most fun boat experience in Ft. Lauderdale. We tour the yachts and mansions while cruising downtown and then stop at the sandbar for a swim. Our Captain and Crew are guaranteed to show you an awesome time with good vibes and great music. We've got floats and water toys for the sandbar and guests are welcome to bring any food and drinks they like.
We tour the yachts and mansions as we cruise through downtown Fort Lauderdale. As yacht capital of the world, this city has plenty of awesome sights to see. Your Captain and Crew will guide you through some of the notable owners while you enjoy the scenic route. Enjoy sunset while cruising past the Yacht Club with a nice view of Downtown in the background.
Our tour coasts through this massive port to explore the cruise ships and cargo freighters that pass through. This also gives you a perspective of how much water we are surrounded by in South Florida. With 160 miles of canals, no wonder they call it the "Venice of America".
The Las Olas Isles are where some of the wealthiest people in the world live. Surrounded by water and yachts, these mansions are always a sight to see. And you bet there are some good stories to go along with them.

Such a fun time. The crew took care of us and made sure everyone had a good time. Met some lovely people which was a bonus Thanks for a great afternoon on the water!
Amazing experience! We had a wonderful time! My favorite part was the swimming in the sandbar. It was definitely worth it!
So stoked you had fun!
NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY!!!! I know there are party boats, but the only reason I booked this is because it is described as family friendly. The music was filthy and perverse even after I spoke to the captains. My 14 year old daughter was shocked and mortified at some of the behaviors we observed. Please change the description of this excursion!!
My husband and I went with our 2 teenage daughters (16 & 18). We had an amazing time! Our captains were knowledgeable and entertaining. The sandbar was the highlight. We floated on inflatables but you could also stand as long as you are taller than 5 feet. There was also an ice cream boat at the sand bar. Great time!
So glad the family had fun!
It was fun and Captain Ross and BJ were very friendly. Nice vibe and swimming was great!!! Many laughs and I think this trip works for all ages. We had young families on the boat and college kids, we were the eldest people on the trip, but had a great time!!
Super! Thanks for joining us for a family friendly morning boat cruise
We had a blast on the boat! 2 hours was enough time for a cruise of the mansions on the intercoastal (the tour guides tell you a little about the owners, too), and time to get in the water at the sand bar. The kids (ages, 5, 7, 10) had fun on the lily pad, too. Ross and BJ were friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and had fun. I highly recommend it!
So glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for jumping on our family friendly trip!
We booked this through Viator as a "family friendly" boat cruise but that's just marketing to fill the party boat - it's no different than the regular "non family friendly" booking. It's a nice ride to a sandbar filled with 20-somethings getting as drunk as possible, with the boat providing a "shot-ski" and a beer funnel. The music was explicit, including "WAP" and the guests twerking away and vaping. My older teens had an enjoyable time watching all the shenanigans but I would NOT bring younger children aboard. I'm 48 and felt weird having my teens aboard.
Hello Katie, it is March in Fort Lauderdale, which is Spring Break capital of the United States. The spring breakers booked tickets just like you did and decided to party. If 2 out of the 3 people in your group had a blast, I don’t think a 1 star review is fair; it should mathematically be a 3.3333333 Star review. Our company is not a sit down and listen type of tour, we get people up and dancing, moving, and having fun. The 10am trip is more family friendly. But we do have numerous families Bring their kids on board throughout the day and thoroughly enjoy it as you can see in the numerous other 5-Star reviews from families.
Our family gang of 13 had a terrific time on the boat tour of Ft Lauderdale. Ross was a terrific boat captain -- serious enough to keep us safe but fun just the same. BJ was a terrific tour guide, providing a lot of stories about all the millionaires' homes and mega yachts. Would definitely go with them again!
Fantastic! Happy holidays and thanks for joining us.
This was a very fun experience for my kids, family, and friends! John & Splash were great hosts! They were hilarious, a good time, and accommodated the music that was our preference! I would definitely do this activity again with my family!
Haha, thanks for hopping aboard
We had a fun time, it just wasn’t what was expected. It was advertised as a family friendly boat cruise but it was more of a party boat atmosphere. With younger kids not all was appropriate. The tour guides were fun, helpful, and did their best to keep things PG-13. If you are looking for a fun time I recommend it.
Thanks for jumping on board with us! Glad the family enjoyed the trip.
