What you'll do:

You'll board a tiki pontoon on Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal Waterway and spend a few hours cruising the city's most scenic waterways — with a captain who handles everything so your group never stops having fun.

• Board and set the vibe – Step aboard your decorated tiki boat, connect your playlist to the Bluetooth sound system, and crack open your first drink before you've left the dock.

• Cruise the Intracoastal Waterway – Take in Fort Lauderdale's waterfront homes, marinas, and skyline from the water while your captain navigates to the best spots.

• Stop at 15th Street Fisheries – Pull up to one of Fort Lauderdale's most iconic waterfront landmarks and hand-feed six-foot tarpon right from the dock.

• Hit the sandbar – Anchor at the popular sandbar where you can wade in, float on the ring floatie, and take the kind of photos your group will talk about for years.

• Celebrate your guest of honor – The boat arrives pre-decorated with custom colors and the honoree's name, turning the whole charter into a personal celebration from the moment you step on.

Whether your group is here to celebrate a bachelorette, a birthday, or just a reason to be on the water, this Fort Lauderdale tiki boat rental puts a captain, a cooler full of ice, and a decorated party space completely at your disposal.

Why we love it for your party:

• Custom decor – Your boat is dressed in the guest of honor's colors and name before you arrive, so the celebration starts before the engine does.

• Ring floatie – The inflatable ring goes in the water at the sandbar for photos that genuinely look as good as they feel.

• Bluetooth sound system – You control the music the entire time; no venue playlist, no compromises.

• Large cooler with ice and water – Chilled and stocked so you spend less time logistics-ing and more time in the moment.

• Towels and party supplies included – Less to haul to the dock, more room to focus on the people you came with.
