5.00This was a wonderful cruise through downtown Fort Lauderdale. Enjoyed the narration, getting so close to the cruise ships. Loved the history of the various properties. Even on a rainy day, it's a winner. Price is good for what you get.
Great Family experience in FLL

5.00A great tour for all ages. We went with grandparents, elementary child, toddler and baby (we are millennials.) Interesting engaging tour guide in 3 segments so not overdone the entire time… EJ was funny, educational and family friendly. Everyone can walk around the boat the whole time and all railings have diamond cut out fencing around so children can walk and explore or stand at the edge with no risk of falling. Options of sun deck, shade deck, and indoor air conditioned area are also nice for various preferences. We did the 11am tour and 90 min was just right for us to enjoy the whole time then grab lunch afterwards (and before naps/meltdowns of littles ;0)

5.00Travelled to Fort Lauderdale from England. This boat trip is a must do! We were able to see so much in a short space of time, the views from the canals and on the water were incredible! We were so lucky with the weather (very different to what we’re used to in England). Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable! Thank you:)

5.00Always love this tour. I go every time I am here. It’s a ritual. What’s better than a fun, relaxing boat ride where you are surrounded by waterfront mansions and mega yachts? Pina colada smoothie in hand, sun beaming overhead, and a feast for the eyes!
Great way to see Ft. Lauderdale
