What To Expect
Fort Lauderdale
We tour the yachts and mansions as we cruise through downtown Fort Lauderdale. As yacht capital of the world, this city has plenty of awesome sights to see. Your Captain and Crew will guide you through some of the notable owners while you enjoy the scenic route. Enjoy sunset while cruising past the Yacht Club with a nice view of Downtown in the background.
Port Everglades
Our tour coasts through this massive port to explore the cruise ships and cargo freighters that pass through. This also gives you a perspective of how much water we are surrounded by in South Florida. With 160 miles of canals, no wonder they call it the "Venice of America".

5.00My husband and I initially wanted to do the Venice of America tour but it was booked. I am so happy that it was because The Stay Afloat Party Boat evening Cruise with Captain Ross & BJ did NOT disappoint. BJ was knowledgeable and provided loads of facts during the tour. He was fun and engaging. The music selection was relaxing g and the fact that this is a BYOB boat is an added bonus. Captain Ross navigated the boat smoothly and at just the right pace. We also sought advice from BJ as visitors from Atlanta, about restaurants nearby that we could get to upon arrival by foot. Needless to say, my husband has t stopped raving about that cruise.
A terrible tour

1.001) a waiver was sent out 2 hours after purchase to sign via text which says even the boat or driver is negligent, they are not responsible. The boat stopped at a gas station for 30 minutes. They said we can buy a cocktail and bring it on the boat or feed the fish. This was part of the two hour tour that was “not” listed. 3) BJ talked maybe 20 minutes about the bones and area. 4) Ross at the beginning and at the end said • we work for the tips and stressed “make sure we tip with a strong elaboration as if it is a requirement. 5) we personally do not care for the choice of music. We have enjoyed all the other companies that do tours on the same waterway. This one was a big rip off and not enjoyable. It was not a two hour tour.

5.00The crew made the trip a lot of fun. They had thought swimming was on the agenda but learned that was not the case. They immediately adjusted and made an itinerary that all had a blast. Great job CAPT Mike and Randy.
Just the right balance!

5.00Ryan an his one crew member were exceptional. Had concerns about it being too raucous but those guys are fantastic at reading a room (boat in this case). Loved the humor about the spots pointed out. Loved getting splashed by an enormous tarpon! Great value and high fun factor for not a lot of money. Good music choices!
Will be coming back!

4.00Ross and Micheal did an outstanding job of informing the crew about the history of Fort Lauderdale river, boats and houses. We really enjoyed the night ride and the music as well as the opportunity to feed the fish. I would recommend this boat ride to anyone who wants to fun while learning.
Fun tour
