The only issue I had was with the parking but everything else was fantastic. Great music. Friendly people.
If I could give zero stars, I would. Unfortunately, I have to settle for giving this company 1 star. Here’s our experience in a nutshell: My wife and I were vacationing in Fort Lauderdale, and on our last day, July 23, 2026, we decided to take a water tour with this company to cap off our vacation. We booked the 5:00 p.m. boating tour on the Sea Rocket. At approximately 2:45 p.m. that afternoon, my wife received a message through Viator instructing us to contact the company. When we spoke with them, we were initially told that our 5:00 p.m. tour was being canceled because there weren’t enough people booked for that time slot. They offered to move us to the 7:30 p.m. tour or reschedule for another day. Neither option worked for us. Then, the explanation changed. We were told the tour was actually being canceled because storms were in the forecast. At that point, we simply requested a refund. Instead, we were told that we could keep our payment as a credit to use at one of their locations in Fort Lauderdale or at another location in Maryland. We live approximately 10 hours away from either location, and we have no plans to return to Fort Lauderdale or go to Maryland anytime soon, so a credit was of no use to us. After going back and forth several times, they finally agreed to issue a refund. The representative we spoke with on July 23 told us that because THEY canceled the tour, our refund would be processed within 5–7 business days. We called the following week and were told the refund was being processed. The week after that, my wife followed up with them by email, and we still have not received our money back. So here I am, leaving this review because enough is enough. We paid for a tour, the company canceled it, and despite repeatedly being told that our refund was being processed, we still have not received it. Buyers beware. I will also be submitting feedback to the BBB regarding this experience.
Amazing and informative trip.. super value for money.. John & Dom super funny guys.. well worth the price!!!
First reservation was cancelled due to low turnout with just a couple hours notice. We were already in the area from an hour away. Rescheduled for two hours later. Drove to launch site at second designated arrival time and found out THERE that our second reservation had been cancelled as well!! No prior notice. This is totally unacceptable. Still waiting [third week] on a refund for this pre-paid trip. Would never expect a business to treat customers in such a manner. Never booking with this organization again. :(
Booked a similar speedboat excursion in Miami and it was a lot of fun. This boat didn’t have music or a PA system. Hard to hear the captain. It felt like a seniors cruise…
The ride and experience is wonderful and the staff was extremely polite and knowledgeable. The captain was great and I highly recommend you take this excursion when visiting Fort Lauderdale.
Hi Elnora, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the ride and had a great experience with our captain and crew. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure next time you’re in Fort Lauderdale!
This was a great way to get on the water and see the sights. It was a relatively smooth ride and when going fast had a great breeze. Relaxing and enjoyable. Ice cold drinks were available for purchase and there was a bit of a sun canopy for some of the seats to get shade. I took my kids (1, 7, & 8) and they all enjoyed it! Bonus we got some crazy windblown hairdos 😆
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're so happy to hear you and your family had a great time out on the water. It sounds like you got the full Sea Rocket experience with the windblown hairdos! We're glad everyone enjoyed the ride, and we hope to welcome you all back aboard for another adventure!
Very relaxing experience! Deck hand and captain provided great customer service. In addition, the website for booking and wavier signing were simple to complete.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you had a relaxing experience and that our captain and deckhand took great care of you. We hope to welcome you back aboard soon!
It was great the captain and assistant was very nice professional and welcoming, I also booked for the parasailing. But the weather not letting us be Greatttt..
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed your speed boat tour and that our captain and crew made you feel welcome. We're sorry the weather didn't cooperate for your parasailing experience, but we hope to have you back on the water soon!
This was basically a boat ride out into the ocean with a view of the beaches and hotels. Sightseeing excursion. You're in the sun the entire time, so take that into account if it's an issue. Staff were informative and friendly. Descent trip.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the scenery and found our crew to be friendly and informative. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you aboard again.
