Fort Lauderdale Boat Rental Experience – Explore the Waterways

By Coastal Florida Rides

Discover Fort Lauderdale’s beautiful waterways with our Fort Lauderdale Boat Rental Experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want a relaxing day on the water, this spacious twenty-four-foot pontoon boat offers the perfect way to explore.

Docked conveniently on the New River, just steps from Las Olas Boulevard, the boat can accommodate up to 12 people, including the captain. You can choose to cruise with a captain or, if you're experienced, navigate yourself. It’s ideal for family outings, romantic sunset cruises, or lively gatherings at the Fort Lauderdale Sandbar.

Enjoy cruising past luxurious mansions, docking at popular waterfront restaurants, or simply soaking up the sun with your favorite music playing from the Bluetooth stereo system. Bring your own snacks and drinks in the onboard cooler, and make your day on the water truly memorable.
