You push off from Bahia Mar as the city slips back into a frame of pilings and glass—ocean breezes pushing the bow forward, the Intracoastal tugging at the wake like a living road.
The Sundancer 37 is compact but confident: a sheltered cockpit for conversation, a swim platform for quick dips, and a captain who knows the cut of the channels. As you thread Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal Waterway—often called the “Venice of America”—you’ll pass waterfront estates and mega-yachts that trace the region’s turn-of-the-century boom and modern maritime economy born from Port Everglades and seasonal tourism.
Geology here is simple: a low limestone coast, barrier islands of sand and shell, and shallow sandbars where currents slow and water clears. Culturally, the city mixes boating culture, Latin-flavored dining along Las Olas, and a laid-back beach town pace that folds easily into a private cruise.
Practical guidance: choose 2, 4, or 6 hours depending on how many stops you want—short cruises skim the mansions; longer bookings let you anchor at a sandbar or dock for a meal. Expect wind near the inlet and shallow shoals near sandbars; the captain files the route and handles USCG paperwork and waivers. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light jacket for open-water spray, and a small cooler for snacks (a cooler with ice is provided). Plan for midday sun in summer, and call ahead to confirm captain selection and parking details.
This trip is straightforward: minimal fitness, maximum scenery, and a private platform to experience Fort Lauderdale from the water.
Meet at Bahia Mar Yachting Center; the operator will email parking and exact berth details—call the provided number after booking to confirm.
Yes — a Bluetooth stereo is provided for your playlist and sandbar or restaurant stops can be added if time allows and the captain approves.
Families are welcome and strollers are accessible; service animals allowed, but ensure children are supervised around the swim platform and water.
Full refund available if canceled at least 24 hours before; the company may reschedule for unsafe boating conditions and will notify you if they cancel.
Bruschi Boat Rental operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
