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.

Nice boat with good amount of space. Captain Ross was very knowledgeable and lots of fun. Enjoyed stopping at the Fisheries and see all of the mansions and yachts along the way.
Mashawn_B, Jul 2026
The front of the boat is the best area, especially when it gets dark. Absolutely gorgeous! BJ and Colin were great!
Ashely_H, Jul 2026

Cicely_G, Jul 2026

Response from Host, Jul 2026
He's a hoot lol. Thanks for joining us!
Kerri_C, Jul 2026
This is a great experience! We had a great evening on the boat. The guide was so much fun. He was knowledgeable about the area. It is a great way to see the beautiful city. Our guide was personable. One of my favorite things was our stop at the 15th Street Fisheries. We saw the large tarpons and amberjacks that hang near the docks. The drink menu was the same as the restaurant on the docks! My companions said they were good and strong.
Thanks guys for such a fun experience! Kudos to you both!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
This is what we aim for! Those fish are so cool in the "living aquarium".
joseph_c, Jul 2026
Good experience. See most of ft Lauderdale with big boats and houses. Bring drinks and snacks. They do not have anything other than water.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thanks for joining us! Correct, we provide free bottled water. All our trips are BYOB so feel free to bring anything you like to eat or drink on board.

Tim_K, Jul 2026
This was not a trip fully disclosed well on the Viator site. Evening cruise through Ft Lauderdale - NO. Party at the sandbar - yes. We wanted the cruise.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Aloha Tim! Our 7pm trip is the evening cruise that goes through downtown Fort Lauderdale. Our daytime trips stop at the sandbar for a swim. You're of course welcome to hangout on board while others swim.
Our description in Viator/Tripadvisor mentions this as well.
Khadja_S, Jun 2026
Staff was friendly and welcoming. The boat was clean, the music was good, overall I had a good time. As a solo traveler I highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thanks for complimenting our awesome team of Captains. Since we can't control the rain, and we focused on safety + customer experience, rather than sending you out in the rain, could you please remove the 3-star review or change it to reflect your experience with our company?
Jackson_M, Jun 2026
The tour guides were very nice and welcoming. The views were great and my friend and I had a very good time.

Kilee_P, Jun 2026
The boat ride was so peaceful, and very nice. More of a party boat atmosphere i’m sure it definitely could get super fun with the right group!! The captain and first mate were so nice gave us a little bit of history on Fort Lauderdale!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Love hearing it! Thanks for the great review.
Jenni_M, Jun 2026
This was a great evening. The only suggestion would be for the guides to have a microphone. It was difficult to hear.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Much appreciated!
Elaine_V, May 2026
This was a fun and informational tour. Our tour guide, BJ, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Captain Colin did a great job as well. Great way to spend an evening!

So glad to hear you had fun!
Justine_R, May 2026
Lots of fun… great activity with friends… boat drivers are very entertaining and share many fun details.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
party on!
Annamarie_O, May 2026
Don’t waste your money for this 2 hr excursion. The cooler literally has less than a bag of ice to keep your drinks cold.
You can’t hear the captain talking about the Mansions which only was the first 30 minutes after that nothing and the music was far from party music
Response from Host, Jun 2026
After a full day on the water, sometimes people use all of the ice, even when we stock it to the brim in the morning.
The description clearly lays out the trips itinerary: 30 minute tour of yachts and mansions
And then we cruise through downtown, turn up the music, and catch sunset.
If you're looking for a sit down and listen tour, this is definitely not for you. We like to get people up and dancing, laughing, and enjoying this beautiful city.
Brittany_D, May 2026
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.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Fantastic!
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!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
This is so great to hear. yes, Capt. Rawesome is amazing!
Leonardo_C, May 2026

Response from Host, Jun 2026
So glad you had a blast!
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.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
So glad you enjoyed. Thanks for pointing out the cheaper parking across the street for others!
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
