Overview

Round up the family, grab your bathing suits, and jump on board Fort Lauderdale's favorite boat cruise and swim stop! Cruise along the waterway past stunning yachts and multi-million dollar mansions, then anchor at our favorite sandbar for open swim time — floats, water toys, and all the giggles included. Our Captain and Crew love showing families a great time, and our 10am departure is our most relaxed, kid-friendly sailing: plenty of room to swim, splash, and soak up the Fort Lauderdale sunshine together.

Bring whatever snacks and drinks your family likes (no glass, please) — we don't sell food or drinks on board, so pack what makes your crew happy. There's a restroom on board and a full deck of floats waiting for the kids (and let's be honest, the adults too).

Prefer a livelier crowd? Our 1pm and 4pm departures bring more energy and party-vibes, while our 7pm cruise skips the swim for a relaxed sunset cruise through Downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Family Friendly Fort Lauderdale Boat Cruise and Swim?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
