We had the most amazing private boat excursion in Fort Lauderdale! The boat itself was beautiful and comfortable, the scenic route was absolutely breathtaking, and Simon made the entire experience unforgettable. He was professional, kind, and truly the best captain. I’m already planning to book again with Simon the next time I come—he is simply the best!
All four of us on this trip feel exactly the same way. Each one of us left saying we’d do it again in a heartbeat, and that Simon made the experience perfect. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond like he did. Highly recommend—times four!

Thank you, Linda — we truly appreciate your 5 Stars review!
While we’re glad Viator made the booking seamless, we’re especially grateful you chose Bruschi Boat Rental to bring your Fort Lauderdale experience to life. From Customer Service to Compliance and Operations, our entire team is dedicated to ensuring every detail of your cruise is thoughtful, smooth, and unforgettable.
We’d be honored to welcome you back for another perfect day on the water.
The boat and the captain was great. We saw some houses in the intercoastal and then went to sand bar. He had ice and cooler for us.
I wish the booking website disclosed there is an additional $100 captain fee in addition to the rental rate. Would be nice to know all the costs upfront
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the Intercoastal tour and your time at the sandbar—it sounds like a great day on the water.
Regarding the captain's fee, we aim for total transparency, which is why we clearly list the additional $100 fee in the 'Inclusions and Exclusions' section of our booking page. Because these are private charters, US Coast Guard regulations require the captain to be paid separately from the boat rental.
We always advise our guests to review those details carefully during the booking process to ensure there are no surprises at the dock. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another smooth trip in the future!
Andre C was an amazing Captain!! He explained things clearly and the boat was very clean. I would recommend him!!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for the recommendation! We take great pride in keeping our boats sparkling clean and ensuring our guests feel informed and comfortable throughout the trip.
