Push off from Las Olas Marina and feel the bow rise of a powerful twenty-nine-foot bowrider as you make a run toward the area’s popular sandbar. The Las Olas 29' Bowrider is a self-drive charter that pairs a deep‑V hull and a generous bow lounge with enough horsepower to make the sandbar run quick and fun. After a dockside orientation and safety briefing, guests pilot the boat, cruise past Millionaire’s Row, anchor at the sandbar and return well before dinner. Onboard features steer the experience: a deep‑V hull that smooths wakes, open seating for up to nine people, and a full bow lounge for sunward lounging. The layout makes it easy to tow a tube or slip into the water for a swim when anchored. Optional tubing add‑ons amplify the fun; kids, couples and groups of friends can tailor the trip from a quick three‑hour spin to an all‑day outing. A refundable security deposit hold is placed before departure and released after your trip if there are no claims. This operation stands out because it converts a short stretch of Intracoastal water and a shallow sandbar into a concentrated day of coastal play. The run past Las Olas mansions—locally called Millionaire’s Row—adds a dash of local color without slowing the fun. For travelers who want a quick, high-value maritime experience near the marina, this is hard to beat: small groups can coordinate timing and return to shore for dinner or keep cruising until the sun lowers. Natural highlights are straightforward and visceral: the shoaling sandbar itself, the low, wide Atlantic horizon, and the close-up waterline views of wading birds and, often, bottlenose dolphins. The sandbar is a living feature sculpted by tides and storms, so expect shifting sandbanks and shallow channels that reward attentive piloting. Bring sunscreen, reef‑safe sunblock, and a cooler because a long afternoon on deck is the point. Practicalities keep this accessible. Check in 15–20 minutes early with a photo ID; exact slip details are sent after booking confirmation. The operator provides a full orientation and will outline the refundable security‑deposit hold placed forty‑eight hours beforehand and released forty‑eight hours after the trip when there are no claims. Experience with small powerboats helps, but the brief orientation is designed so first‑time drivers can run the route safely. If you want a concise maritime day that blends easy handling, social sandbar time, and a quick tour of the waterfront mansions, book the Las Olas 29' Bowrider and head to Las Olas Marina. This setup is a standout for short-group boating on the intracoastal; it’s immediate, social, and made to fit into a day around dining or nightlife. Exact address, operator name and local contact are provided at booking.
Local requirements vary; the operator provides a dockside orientation so many guests without formal licenses can safely self-drive—confirm any local age or licensing rules when booking.
Arrive 15–20 minutes before departure at Las Olas Marina with a matching photo ID; exact slip and dock contact are sent after booking confirmation.
A refundable security-deposit hold is placed 48 hours before departure and released 48 hours after the trip if no claims are made.
Tubing add-ons are available; request extras when you book to ensure availability and receive pricing details.
The boat seats up to nine people; small groups of four to eight tend to have the best balance of weight distribution and comfort.
Expect marina facilities for restrooms and changing near the dock; the sandbar itself has no services, so plan accordingly.
