5.00This was the friendliest crew and most beautiful experience I could have asked for. I had one of the best times even after just getting off a Royal Caribbean cruise.

5.00Fun trip would recommend it, the bar price fair and the snacks hit the spot. We went early April a little chilly so a jacket would be good to take

5.00This was the PERFECT tour for our first trip to Ft. Lauderdale! Super fun to sail along and look at the beautiful homes and sights and to hear all the stories behind them from our informative tour guide! Was just my hubs and I but extremely family friendly- would love to bring my kids and even my parents back! The very affordable price made it even better! The operator was also very nice- I’d booked the 1pm tour but I had a schedule change. I walked up to the boat at 10am and asked if I could switch our booking to 11am and he obliged without hesitation. Snacks on the cruise were also great! We enjoyed an ice cold local IPA beer as we sailed along. Really loved this excursion and highly recommend!
Great event
