Set sail on a 5-hour private boat tour from Fort Lauderdale and explore the scenic waterways aboard a Baymingo boat. Your journey takes you through the Intracoastal Waterway, where you'll enjoy views of luxury yachts, stunning waterfront homes, and lush tropical scenery. Keep an eye out—dolphins often playfully swim nearby, adding to the magic of the cruise.
Arriving at Sandspur Island, also known as Raccoon Island or Beer Can Island, you'll meet the friendly raccoons that make this spot so special. These curious creatures are surprisingly gentle and love interacting with visitors. If you prefer, your captain can anchor at the nearby Haulover Sandbar for a quick swim and a taste of Miami’s lively sandbar scene, depending on your time on the island.
