The experience

The boat leaves Bahia Mar, steps from Fort Lauderdale Beach, and heads straight onto the Intracoastal Waterway where mega-yachts line the docks. From there, you turn up the New River toward Millionaire's Row: a stretch of waterfront estates ranging from sleek glass boxes to Old World villas with Moroccan and Italian details. The Stranahan House Museum, built in 1901 by the trader credited as the city's founder, sits quietly on the riverbank as a real link to what Fort Lauderdale looked like before the skyline went up.

The electric motor is the whole point: no engine roar, no fumes, just the sound of water and your captain's voice. A full sun canopy and window enclosures keep you comfortable, and you can connect your phone to the Bluetooth sound system to play your own playlist. Complimentary water is served into your own bottle or a recyclable cup. The boat carries life jackets in all sizes, and the propellers are manatee-safe, designed to protect Florida's local wildlife.

Downtown's Riverwalk runs a mile along both banks of the New River, connecting cultural spots and opening onto an open-air waterfront with bars and food vendors right in the heart of the city. That's where the tour ends, leaving you steps from the action if you want to stay ashore.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the difference between the day cruise and the sunset cruise?

The tour operates both times of day. You choose the departure that fits your schedule. The 90-minute route and stops are the same either way.

How close do you actually get to the mansions on Millionaire's Row?

You glide right past them on the New River, close enough to see the architectural details (the glass towers, the villas, the modern estates) as you drift along the waterway.

Is the boat comfortable if the weather turns cool?

The full canopy top and window enclosures protect you from wind and spray, so you stay dry and sheltered even if conditions change during the 90 minutes.

Can you bring your own music on the boat?

Yes. The Bluetooth sound system lets you connect your phone and play your own playlist while you cruise.

What happens if I'm traveling with young kids?

Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and life jackets in all sizes are provided for every guest. The tour is suitable for all fitness levels.
