Fort Lauderdale Sightseeing Cruise with Sandbar Swim Stop
Overview
BYOB and bring your bathing suit — hop aboard Fort Lauderdale's most fun party boat cruise! Cruise past multi-million dollar yachts and mansions while our crew keeps the energy (and the jokes) going. Then your captain pulls into a lively sandbar spot packed with boats, ties up, and announces: "the pool is open!" We toss in the unicorn and flamingo floats, everyone jumps in to swim and float, and then it's back on board for a dance party all the way to the dock.
Bring whatever food and drinks you like (BYOB, no glass please) — we'll keep a community cooler of free bottled water on board too, because a Fort Lauderdale boat party is a marathon, not a sprint. There's a restroom on board and a crew that genuinely loves getting the party started.
Departures at 10am, 1pm, and 4pm include the sandbar swim stop. Our 7pm cruise skips the swim and instead cruises through Downtown Fort Lauderdale for sunset views.
