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.

The 2 hour cruise was great. The tour guide BJ was amazing. I cant swim and too short to stand in the water-but they made sure I was able to access the floating devices and enjoy the experience. Great vibe with great ppl. Made some new friends along the way!
The captain and boat mate were amazing, they were funny and we had a great time! It was the perfect little getaway for us. The music was fun and loud enough for us to hear when we were in the water. Overall, a great time!
Canceled on us last minute because “not enough people” then all of a sudden because of weather when it was perfect out
Aloha Kendall! You may have been the most rude person I've ever spoken to on the phone before. You were mean and at the end of the conversation when I said have a nice day, you replied "you don't" and hung up lol. Good news is, I have that call recorded if anyone desires to hear it. We gave you plenty of nice that the trip did not meet the minimum on Tuesday. We offered alternative times as well as the option to refund. You chose yell and refund. We aim to show people an amazing time on the water so that everyone can have fun. We don't want such negative energy on our tours. This trip is for nice people only. The ethical thing to do would be remove your negative review.
Very disappointed with this experience. My wife does not know how to swim, and when we asked for a life vest , we were told she could just stand up in the water. The flotation equipment was also inadequate—most of the life rings had no air, and the only usable float had about 10 people crowded onto it, constantly falling off. They never offered water; we had to ask if any was available. The biggest issue was the parking. We were directed to park in a lot without being told it would cost $30 to leave. The parking attendant said the boat company was supposed to provide a QR code, but when we asked the crew, they said they don’t provide one. So after already tipping we were also hit with another unexpected $30 charge just to leave the parking lot. Overall, this felt misleading and poorly managed. Passenger safety and customer service did not seem to be a priority. I would not recommend this cruise and suggest spending your money elsewhere. Captain Ross and the other guy (driver) Should be ashamed of themselves. False advertisement.
Hey Tania, We do not own or control the parking; nor do we get free parking. The description and confirmation email give 2 options specifically for this reason: 1) pay to park at marina, 2) cheaper city pay to park across street. Typically the parking is $3-4/hr unless there is an event or you leave your car for extended period of time. The water on board is always free on all of our trips, and the crew mentions this in the beginning during the safety speech. The 2 coolers out in the open are stocked with them. We do not offer a white glove service where we bring around still and sparkling bottles in a champagne glass; it's grab one and party on. I know the life jacket part is false. We are all Coast Guard licensed Captains, which is a professional and difficult certification. If you had asked for a life jacket, they would have provided you with one immediately since we have numerous people ask for them and they are right under the seat. This is a Coast Guard Inspected vessel, which means the boat (and the crew) goes through rigorous testing and certifications to keep approved status. I do not appreciate you putting something like that in there since we train for fires, man overboard drills, medical emergencies, and many other possibilities. Our Team is superb when it comes to safety and shouldn't be a scape goat because you couldn't read the email or the parking sign upon entry.
very fun!!! worth it i loved the sight and the time to get there and back was good. service was amazing and vibes were upbeat and cool!
Woo Woo!
Such a fun experience and they had a little boat selling drinks out in the sandbar!!! Our guide was amazing definitely helped make the trip!!! I would definitely do it again.
So glad you enjoyed! see you soon.
Was A Great experience it’s an almost exclusive women boat was the only guy with my wife and 20 women.
Thanks for joining us!
It’s very hard to find a boat to take you to hang in the sandbar that’s not a full boat charter for like $400. It was just the two of us and we didn’t need a lot of time. After a lot of looking I found this experience and booked right away. Two hours with 1 hour in the sandbar and a tour of the inter coastal which was great for my visiting friend. This is not a relaxing sail this is a turn up boat where guests queue music to play and hanging in the sandbar is often a turn up as well. We loved our friendly high energy group but this is something that will obviously vary with the sailings. Once on the sandbar you can get off the boat and walk away for some private time of course. Overall due to the price and difficulty of finding other sailings I’m happy.
Love it! haha so glad you had a blast!
This Sandbar trip was a great time. My group of friends are 60+ years old and most of the other group were seniors in college. The Captain and his Mate created a welcoming and fun experience for everyone!
Super to hear! So glad you had a blast.
We had a great time on this trip! I would recommend this for people who like to drink and party. They let you request songs, they’re clear about safety, and deliver a great time. They asked everyone if we were okay with foul language, which I appreciated and consented to. We booked a middle of the week trip thinking it would be relaxed, and were with a group of rowdy spring breakers who had been clearly been drinking for several hours. We decided if you can’t beat em, join ‘em. We broke out our own drinks till we were having a great time. 10/10 would recommend and do again.
Woo Woo!! Fantastic. glad everyone had fun and Happy Spring Break!
