Private experiences (3)
Fort Lauderdale Sailing Charter: 2 & 4-Hour Private Boat ToursYou choose your Fort Lauderdale sailing charter's length (2 or 4 hours), route, and activities—swimming, snorkeling, learning to sail, or just relaxing—with Captain Dan adjusting based on weather and your group's preference. The boat holds up to six people, includes safety gear and onboard refreshments, and departs from a private residence on the New River. Semi-private or all-private options available.Is it for me?Choose this if you want a sailing day that actually fits what you want to do—not a fixed route—and you'd rather have a licensed captain handle the boat while you decide whether to swim, snorkel, learn to sail, or just relax. The small group size and flexible itinerary are what make it work.
Fort Lauderdale: Private Yacht Cruise 2-6 Hours & Sandbar StopsYou board a private Sundancer 37 at Bahia Mar with a captain and cooler already loaded. Pick your duration—2, 4, or 6 hours—and your stops: the Intracoastal Waterway, sandbars for swimming, or waterfront restaurants. The captain navigates; you bring sunscreen. Groups up to six, English or Spanish guide, and you control the music.Is it for me?Book this if you want a private boat experience without the responsibility of operating it—the captain and pre-loaded cooler mean you show up and swim, not plan logistics.
Fort Lauderdale: Private Sailing Charter & Captain, 4 HoursYou’ll drift past wild mansions and mega-yachts on this private Fort Lauderdale sailing charter, maybe spotting dolphins or manatees along the way. Take the wheel if you’re brave, relax in shaded seats with your own snacks, and soak up quiet moments with a local captain guiding you through hidden corners of the waterway.
Up to 2 hours (5)
Fort Lauderdale: Carrie B Paddlewheel Cruise & Yachts TourYou’ll drift through Fort Lauderdale’s winding waterways on a classic paddlewheel boat with live narration from local guides, spotting mega-yachts and old mansions along the New River and Intracoastal Waterway. Expect easy laughs, river breezes, and plenty of chances to just sit back and watch life go by from another angle.
Fort Lauderdale: Segway Tour & Riverwalk with Mega-YachtsYou'll ride 4 to 8 miles along Fort Lauderdale's Riverwalk, Las Olas Boulevard, and beachfront on a guided Segway tour with training included. The route passes mega-yachts, celebrity homes, the Museum of Discovery and Science, and (on the 2-hour option) the tallest drawbridge in Florida with views of the cruise port. You get a helmet, safety gear, and a certificate at the end. Groups cap at twelve riders.Is it for me?Best for travelers who want to see Fort Lauderdale's waterfront, yachts, and downtown without arranging their own transport or navigation — the guide handles the route and the stories, and the small group size (max twelve) means you're not part of a crowd.
Fort Lauderdale: Evening Yacht Cruise & Downtown DancingYou board at the Fort Lauderdale dock and spend two hours cruising the New River past yachts, mansions on Las Olas Isles, and cargo ships at the port. As the sun sets, the music and lights ramp up and dancing takes over. You bring your own drinks and snacks, and the crew keeps the energy high with music and corny jokes. The boat returns to dock around 9pm, depending on your departure time.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see Fort Lauderdale's waterfront and yacht scene without planning a formal dinner or bar crawl — the boat does the moving and the music, so you show up, bring drinks, and the evening takes care of itself.
VIP Yacht Experiences Fort Lauderdale: 12 People, 40 ft SundancerYou board at Bahia Mar, take the wheel of a 40-foot Sundancer with a Coast Guard–certified captain on hand, cruise past waterfront mansions and mega-yachts on the Intracoastal Waterway, anchor at a sandbar to swim or float, and can dock at a waterfront restaurant if you want to eat. The 2-hour version is a taster; 4 or 6 hours lets you actually settle into it. Coolers, ice, and a sound system are included; bring your own drinks and sunscreen.Is it for me?Right for groups of friends or family who want to feel like they own a boat for a few hours without the licensing hassle. Plan for the captain to be on board — that's what makes it legal and safe, and it's also what keeps you from running aground.
Fort Lauderdale Boat Cruise: Yachts, Sandbar & Dance PartyYou get a guided cruise past Fort Lauderdale's most expensive real estate, a swim stop at the sandbar with floats included, and a dance party back to shore. Bring your own food and drinks, use the onboard bathroom and cooler, and plan to arrive 30 minutes early. The 10am, 1pm, and 4pm times include the swim; 7pm is a sunset cruise through downtown instead.Is it for me?Book this if you want a party atmosphere on the water without the formality of a dinner cruise or the cost of renting your own boat — the crew's job is to keep the energy up, which is what makes a random afternoon on the water feel like an actual event.
