Most boat rental Fort Lauderdale FL searches start with the same three questions: which boat fits my group, what does it cost, and who is driving? This page answers all three. The fleet runs from a 24 ft pontoon to a 52 ft flybridge yacht, and rentals are captained by default. A few pontoons can be self-captained with approval, covered below.
From the dock you can cruise past the waterfront homes and yachts of the Venice of America, drop anchor at a sandbar for a swim, or tie up at a waterfront restaurant. Not sure what is nearby? Start with our guide to Fort Lauderdale attractions
