Itinerary

This cruise departs from downtown Fort Lauderdale. On the boarding ramp of the boat, pose for a souvenir photograph, then hop aboard and see what the city has to offer from the waterfront. Choose from the open-air, canopied observation deck or settle into the air-conditioned cabin. Either way, the views will be up close and incredible.

Enjoy this entertaining and educational sightseeing tour of Fort Lauderdale from the city’s inland waterways. Beautiful homes, mansions and yachts — plus yards filled with palm trees and Roman fountains — line Millionaire’s Row. Float slowly past them and check out the marinas and piers as the tour continues.

There’s also something to be learned on this live-narrated cruise. Fort Lauderdale is no longer the spring break party destination it once was. Today, it’s known more for relaxed coastal living with high-end properties galore — a lifestyle for the rich and famous. The captain will talk about the celebrities, millionaires and billionaires who own these stunning properties.

Light snacks and nonalcoholic beverage options are available for purchase on board the boat.

Great tour, a little rough around the edges

Marta_B, Jul 2026

We had a great time on the tour! There was so much good information and fun tidbits. I do think the boat is a little rough around the edges, hence the 4 stars. I would still recommend, just don’t expect luxury.

Relaxing afternoon

Lisa_K, Jul 2026

Brittany_M, May 2026

The ride was okay. However, the owner is rude and has a nasty attitude. His tone was unacceptable. I would never book with this company again! It was hard to enjoy the experience after speaking with him. Customer service does not exist.

We booked this last minute when weather interfered with other plans. It was super fun. The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. We were able to get all day parking at a hotel close by and spent the day in the area after our cruise.

Terrible experience

Katie_B, Apr 2026

I believe it was false advertisement. The boat in the pictures is a two story completely covered section boat. We were on a very very small uncovered boat. It poured and the wind we were all miserable.

Response from Host, May 2026

We’re sorry the weather affected your experience. However, our listing does not advertise or display a two-story covered boat, so we’re not sure where that expectation came from. South Florida weather can change quickly, and while heavy rain can impact comfort, we do provide complimentary ponchos for guests. We have also since installed additional drop-down windows to further protect guests during rainy conditions.

Good Times

James_B, Apr 2026

Tour guides are excellent! Very knowledgeable and makes for a fun experience. Can’t believe the price of the yachts.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for the awesome review! We’re so glad you enjoyed our knowledgeable tour guides and had a fun experience on the water. The yachts along the waterways are truly incredible, and hearing guests react to their size and value is always exciting. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

We loved the tour but...

CaleeMcGraw, Apr 2026

We loved the tour but they do a raffle and had a rude lady trying to sell us stuff claiming we won but she took up time during the excursion and went around and tried to do it with everyone. Big turn off

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very happy to hear you and your family loved the tour overall. Like many major attractions and vacation destinations, optional vacation packages may occasionally be offered to visiting guests. We appreciate your comments regarding the experience and will continue working to ensure the tour remains enjoyable and comfortable for all passengers.

Fun on the water!
