The workers were very friendly, very entertaining during the ride I would recommend this for any solo person or a group setting. They were very nice.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the ride and that our crew helped make it such a fun experience. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon!
Be prepared to get wet on the first part of the ride. I wasn't expecting that. That should have stated. Couldn't hear the guide talk. Need a better system so everyone can hear
Hi Kim, thank you for the honest feedback. We only head into the ocean portion when conditions are calm enough, but even then a little spray can come up, especially toward the back of the boat. We'll take your note on the audio system to heart as well and share it with our Fort Lauderdale team. We appreciate you cruising with Sea Rocket and hope to give you a drier, clearer ride next time!
What a great experience and absolutely beautiful sunset. The crew was great and the captain made sure that everyone had a chance to get some great pictures in.
Thank you, Michael! Hope to see you back on the water with Sea Rocket in Fort Lauderdale soon!
I was supposed to receive half refund for 2 tickets cancelled, no money refunded and no communication from the operator .No email came through. Some weird messaging system sent messages which could not be seen after clicking the link.No refund
Thank you for reaching out, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration. This is not the experience we want for our guests, and we want to make this right. Please contact us directly so we can look into your refund and get this resolved as quickly as possible.
It was inciteful. We enjoyed the ride and learning about some of the homes around and the boats. Fun was had by everyone.
Thank you, Mary! So glad you enjoyed the sunset cruise. Hope to see you back soon!
Amazing boat tour in Fort Lauderdale! Beautiful mansions, luxury yachts, and relaxing water views. Friendly guide, smooth ride, great vibes. Perfect way to explore the city. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Denise! Sounds like a perfect evening on the water with Sea Rocket in Fort Lauderdale. Hope to see you back soon!
Generally good. But crew set off blast which resulted in hurting my wife’s ear. Not sure that has any place on a pleasure cruise and probably raises safety issues as well.
Thank you for the feedback, Tom, and we're sorry to hear your wife was caught off guard. Our sunset cannon is one of our favorite little traditions on the cruise, and we do offer advance warning and headphones for any guests who need them. We hope you'll give Sea Rocket in Fort Lauderdale another chance and enjoy the full experience!
Awesome from start to finish! They sent very clear instructions for parking and arrival at the dock. Boarding was painless, drinks were serves quickly, and the captain and crew were on top of every question or need. Our captain/Tour guide was so funny and shared such interesting facts.
Thank you! So glad everything from the instructions to the cruise itself hit the mark. Hope to see you back soon!
They should know they won't regret this adventure... Everything was amazing the sunset,the boats... Everyone was friendly and I could even say that everyone loved the moment...
Thank you, Kendra! What a wonderful gift! So glad the sunset, the scenery, and the crew made it a moment everyone loved. Hope to see you both back on the water with Sea Rocket in Fort Lauderdale soon!
This experience was very, very disappointing. We had friends from out of town and we went on a cruise last year when we were in the area and it was absolutely magnificent showing the big mansions and the huge yachts and it was just absolutely beautiful this cruise we drove through barges. an oil places where boats came in it was and just woods. They didn’t start to talk about the briefly talk about a few yards and a few of the mansions on the way back. It was extremely disappointing. I would expect a refund actually that’s how disappointing it was. We paid for VIP seats it just it was a terrible terrible disappointment. I would not recommend it and I would post this review so if you wanna get in touch with me to see how you can give me a refund or something 215-470-6952. It was a terrible experience.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Elizabeth, and we're sorry to hear the cruise didn't meet your expectations. Our sunset cruise travels through the Intracoastal, which includes both the waterfront mansions and Port Everglades, one of the busiest and most impressive cruise ports in the world. The barges, marine facilities, and waterways you described are actually part of Port Everglades, a working port that is vital to Fort Lauderdale's economy and identity, moving millions of tons of cargo and welcoming some of the largest cruise ships in the world. That route also gives guests the clearest view of the sunset, as the city skyline would otherwise obstruct it. We intentionally keep narration partial so guests can sit back and enjoy the views and music throughout the cruise. This is all outlined in our trip description. and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
