This was an amazing experience. Captain Ross and Collin were great hosts. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale. We were able to sight see, dance, drink and mingle all in a span of 2 hours with beautiful views of the city.

Incredibly fun… great captains… genuinely fun captain has a great sense of humor and gave an amazing history tour when cruising along the mansions . Wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Cindy_J, May 2026
This excursion was the highlight of our trip! Ross was hilarious and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to connect with all the passengers and ensure each and every one of us were enjoying ourselves, a really sweet guy. The 2 hours went by way too quickly! We went on the sunset cruise and adored the warm and breezy weather that accompanied the gorgeous sunset and city scape from our vantage point on the water. Look for dock I to the right of dock H, it was hard to find. Ross responded right away to my call when I was lost, though, so that helped. Overall was our Ft. Lauderdale fave!
Leonardo_C, May 2026
Amazing experience, chill moment with family. We enjoyed the tour, captain Ross was very nice and warm and improved the experience
Vicki_R, May 2026
Relaxed and such a fun experience. Connor and Ricky made trip blast and I would most definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting!
LaNetta_G, May 2026
Wonderful experience with great staff. It was really fun and great to Interact with others. I would do it again.
Gene_A, Apr 2026
The cruise was outstanding, cruising the ICW and all the way into downtown, very affordable and great value, and BYOB is great, crew was great and entertaining, the sunset and night cruise downtown was nothing short of spectacular. I would highly recommend to anyone for an excellent boat trip on a budget, well worth the price! Parking at the Marina was $10 an hour but there is cheaper parking across the street for a short walk.
Todd_R, Apr 2026
Great time, BYOB was nice. No over priced drinks! Not to fancy. Ross did a great job telling us about the beautiful homes.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for joining us Todd! See you next trip

Response from Host, Apr 2026
Woo Woo! Captain Rawesome for the win
Patrick_M, Apr 2026
5 star experience, not 5 star bathroom... Just so you know. Damien navigated strong currents with easy, most clients couldn't tell. Ryan was funny and knowledgeable. Fun way to get a little history lesson and understanding of the lifestyles of the rich and famous.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for this great review Patrick! And thanks for noticing Damian's skill, he's amazing.

Jennifer_C, Apr 2026
Fantastic! I took my son on his birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed an exhilarating cruise along the waterfront, marveling at stunning yachts all around us. The tour guide and captain were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the adventure even more special. We had an incredible time—truly an amazing experience!

We're so happy you had such a fun time! see you next time you're in town.
Jill_G, Mar 2026
Great ride. Wonderful captain. Viator needs better directions to the boat dock. $30 parking fee a bit steep.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks for the awesome review Jill! There are a few city parking lots near by that you can walk from. Unfortunately, the hotel controls the on-site parking and they even charge us.
Thelma_J, Mar 2026
I thought It was going to be an evening cruise more relaxed I had no ideal it was a party boat until i started receiving text messages.It was a bunch of college spring breakers I was glad to see a couple who was there and experienced the same thing, they too was expecting a different experience. It wasn't a total lost I enjoyed the crew the music and one of the crew member was from my hometown. There was no information about the boat other than it would be an evening cruise that can be confusing if its limited information
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Aloha Thelma, glad you made the best of it and had fun dancing! Once you click the tour on Viator/Tripadvisor, you're able to see the description. We are definitely not a sit-down and listen style boat. We like to have fun and get people up and dancing!
Keith_G, Mar 2026
Great experience. Good captain and mate.
We would recommend thus to our friends and family when they visit in the area
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Awesome to hear! thanks for the great review.
Assata_C, Mar 2026
It was really fun and the views were great. The water experience was fun too, make sure you bring a swimsuit. Also there’s not a lot of options for drinks so bring your own water or “water”🤫. 10/10 experience
Response from Host, Mar 2026
So stoked you had fun! haha you gotta "hydrate"

Being on the water especially at night is wonderful. All the lights on the properties make for a beautiful scenic experience. The crew is funny & engaging while providing interesting facts about different properties and their owners.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Right! Cruising through downtown at night is soooo beautiful and one of our favorite things to see.
Fozia_B, Feb 2026
Such a fun and great experience. We had Ross and Damien were our boat captains and made everything so much fun. Definitely recommend the swim up sandbar cruise. Saw some cool houses and learned a lot and great vibes!!! Will book again
Response from Host, Feb 2026
So glad you enjoyed! We look forward to having you on board again.
Jean_B, Feb 2026
The crew was energetic and attentive. The cruise itinerary was as expected, watching the homes and yachts of the rich and famous. Take seriously their company name, they want to create a vivacious party atmosphere. If that’s your thing, you’ll enjoy this.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Aloha! We hope you enjoyed your time on the party boat! How could you not, it's the best conga line in town. This trip is definitely not your "sit down and listen" type of tour. Our crew engages the passengers and encourages dancing. Picture Margaritaville on the water. Such a fun time!
Maureen_S, Jan 2026
The tour guide DJ was excellent. The boat was a little run down. It would have been nice if they had some waters on the boat.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hey Maureen! Thanks for sailing with us and giving the feedback.
Stephanie_C, Jan 2026
This was a really small group of six people for an intimate, relaxing cruise. The narration was really informative, and the hosts answered any questions that we may have had. The music was fun, low-key for the Groupon board. Very, very relaxing evening with my husband and nice to meet some other people
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Super! Thanks for sailing with us
