Private tour for 12 people on a 40 ft Yacht, Ft Lauderdale bay
Fort Lauderdale
$$$$
Charter a spacious 40-foot yacht built for up to 12 guests and spend anywhere from 2 to 6 hours exploring Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal Waterway on your own terms. Shorter charters focus on sightseeing past the city's famous waterfront mansions and mega-yachts with a quick sandbar stop if time allows, while the longer 4 and 6-hour options open up real time to swim at hidden sandbars or tranquil lagoons, relax in the sun, and dock at a waterfront restaurant for drinks or a full meal. The yacht comes with a spacious sun deck, shaded seating, a fully equipped cabin with a bathroom and kitchen, and a Bluetooth sound system, giving the group plenty of room to spread out compared to smaller charter boats. Coolers stocked with ice and bottled water are included, and guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks to round out the day. Because the charter comfortably fits a larger group, this is a particularly strong option for bigger celebrations like birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or family reunions where a smaller boat wouldn't have room for everyone. With a strong overall rating and reviews frequently highlighting the crew's friendliness, this charter offers a genuinely luxurious, spacious way to spend a day on Fort Lauderdale's water without needing to split a larger group across multiple boats.
