What an amazing experience! Our family had the most wonderful time eco-boating in Fort Lauderdale. The electric boat was incredibly quiet and smooth, which made all the difference in connecting with nature. Our hosts were absolutely charming and welcoming. They speak English, French, and Spanish, which made everyone feel comfortable and added such a nice personal touch to the experience. The highlight was spotting manatees in their natural habitat! The silent electric motor meant we could glide right up without disturbing them – truly magical. We also saw beautiful birds and cruised through a stunning natural reserve. My family was absolutely impressed by the wildlife and pristine nature right here in Fort Lauderdale. This is hands-down one of the best ways to see Fort Lauderdale’s natural side. Perfect for nature lovers and families who want an eco-friendly adventure on the water. We’ll absolutely be back!

We booked this for a birthday and had a fabulous time! Damien kept in good communication beforehand with texts, which was great. It’s byob and snacks, but he had all the other necessities on board for convenience. The boat itself is so cute and made for a charming ride on the water. Definitely book this for a memorable night out!

We recently had a team meeting on this cute scenic eco boat in Fort Lauderdale’s Riverside, and it turned out to be one of the best choices for a relaxed and productive outing. The setting was perfect for open conversation, team bonding, and enjoying the beautiful views of the waterways. We brought along some pizza and wine, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everyone had a great time! Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a creative and refreshing team-building activity — and the Captain was fantastic!
