Fort Lauderdale’s waterways offer some of the best boating in South Florida. Your USCG-licensed captain knows every spot, here’s what you can expect to explore during your pontoon rental:
Cruise past Millionaires’ Row, mega-yachts, and waterfront mansions on one of Florida’s most scenic stretches of protected water. A Fort Lauderdale classic and a must-see on any pontoon charter.
Anchor at the sandbar near Lake Sylvia, wade in the shallow water, and let the group relax with music and cold drinks. This is the spot locals love and the highlight of most day charters. Also a great stop for groups planning a Fort Lauderdale bachelorette party on the water.
Head offshore through the Port Everglades inlet for open water swimming and snorkeling. On a calm day, the Atlantic is stunning, crystal clear water just minutes from the marina. Great for guests who want more than just a scenic cruise.
Cruise along Fort Lauderdale Beach and the iconic Las Olas area: a scenic route with the city skyline on one side and the Atlantic on the other. A great way to see Fort Lauderdale from the water.
Pricing varies by vessel and duration. Lauderdale Charters offers 6 and 8-hour charter options. Contact us directly for current rates — pricing is per charter, not per person, which makes pontoon rentals very affordable for groups.
