What you'll do:

You'll board a vibrant tiki pontoon and cruise Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal Waterway — passing mega yachts, waterfront mansions, and open water — with your own playlist pumping and a cooler already stocked with ice.

• Cruise the Intracoastal – Drift past waterfront mansions and mega yachts on one of Florida's most scenic stretches of water while your captain handles the navigation.

• Stop at 15th Street Fisheries – Pull up to a waterside landmark where you can hand-feed 6-foot tarpons or step off for a drink before heading back on the water.

• Hit the Fort Lauderdale Sandbar – Anchor at the sandbar, drop the 16-foot float raft, and wade in — this is where the group photo ops and open-water hang time happen.

• Control the Soundtrack – Connect to the Bluetooth sound system and DJ the whole charter yourself, no negotiating with a preset playlist.

• Float, Wade, and Snap – Use the signature ring floatie and the raft to get in the water and capture the kind of shots that actually look as good as the day felt.

This is a fully private Fort Lauderdale tiki boat rental — no shared decks, no strangers, just your group and your vibe from the moment you board to the moment you dock.

Why we love it for your party:

• Free Custom Decor – The guest of honor gets personalized decorations in their name and theme colors, included at no extra charge.

• Experienced Captain and Crew – The on-board crew manages the route, safety, and logistics so your group can stay fully in the moment.

• Tiki Aesthetic – The boat's visual design is built for photos: signature ring floatie, tropical styling, and open-air layout.

• Everything Already Loaded – Cooler with ice and water, float raft, party supplies, and towels for every guest are on board when you arrive.

• BYOB and Food-Friendly – Bring whatever drinks and snacks your group wants — no venue restrictions, no minimum spend.
