20 reviewed
Your own boat, captain and route for a few hours or a whole day.

Half-day sailing in Fort Lauderdale on the Daffy. Max 6, bring your own snacks, chase dolphins, and sail past mansions and ports.
“We loved this excursion! We went with our two kids (8 and 10) and they had a blast on the boat. Captain Charlie is knowledgable, funny and engaging, and he let us all take turns driving the boat and helping with the sail. He has a promotion system that kept our kids eager to help. The ride took us through the river where we could see beautiful homes and yachts, and then out to the ocean for a few hours. Unfortunately we didn’t see any manatees or dolphins but the trip was incredible and we would highly recommend this excursion with Captain Charlie.”

“Make sure you get the details of your charter. I’ve been on a few yachts and this was by far the worst experience for the amount we paid. We didn’t have use of the cabin because the A/C didn’t work and even though we had it for the 2hr ride we didn’t really ride anywhere except along the docking piers and houses. I was expecting to ride out to a location where other boats would be dropping the anchor as I’ve experienced in the past. Captain kept putting it all on the company. Captain drove extremely slow as if he didn’t have any gas for the excursion, taking the thrill…”

Fort Lauderdale private sport fishing charter from Port Everglades: license, bait, tackle, and fish cleaning included for up to 6.
“Bon guide qui a fait des efforts pour nous faire prendre de belles prises mais malheureusement en janvier n'est pas un bon moment pour la pêche. Très dispendieux pour quelques prises de poissons Bonita mais il n'y a jamais rien de garantie à la pêche. Pourboire de 20% non inclus au forfait. De plus le stationnement n'est pas inclus tel que mentionné.”
A small-group 4-hour sport fishing charter from Fort Lauderdale with bait, tackle, licenses, and a shot at big game fish near reefs and shipwrecks.
“Dommage que l’on ne propose pas de goûter le seul tout petit thon pêché et qu’ils le gardent pour eux … si on avait goûter sur le port avec l’équipe un petite tranche , cela aurait remplacé le manque de poisson pêché et permis d’avoir des pourboires justifiés , là rien ne justifier de mettre encore la main à la poche .”

“It was a great experience!!! Captain Mike was great, very knowledgeable of the area and was a great tour guide. He is an awesome guy and showed us great views of the area as we made our way down to the sandbar where we could hang out in the water and enjoy a few beverages with the family and enjoy the water and weather! We even saw some dolphins as we drove to the sandbar as Capt Mike knew where to take us to see them. It was a totally chill day, my family and I had a great day and Capt Mike was a great host and guide. I…”
