7 reviewed
Three hundred miles of canals earned Fort Lauderdale its nickname, and the old riverboats and water taxis still read the city best. Below are the sightseeing cruises worth taking: which narrate the mansions and megayachts, which let you hop on and off all day, how long each runs, and the fare.

75-minute narrated boat cruise past Millionaire’s Row in Fort Lauderdale with complimentary beer, wine, soda, water, and summer ice cream.
“It is unmarked area and no parking. Easy to access boat. However, it is not the boat pictured. It was not enclosed. It was confusing and all passengers questioned if it was correct boat. Bathroom didn’t work. Tour guides were pleasant. Tour was worth the money to access water. And see some extraordinary homes and yachts. The weather before us was windy and rainy. So they go rain or shine. They should make that clear. You contact the tour provider directly not the app. We lucked out the wind laid down and sun came out. A hot coffee would have better than cold drink.”
