Fort Lauderdale Sailing Charter

Embark on an unforgettable journey starting in Fort Lauderdale on the iconic New River, often called the “Venice of America.” This scenic waterway offers a beautiful blend of natural mangroves, luxurious waterfront homes, and rich local history. Your adventure continues past bustling Port Everglades—home to impressive mega yachts and cruise ships—before sailing into the stunning blue waters of the Atlantic and along Fort Lauderdale’s picturesque coastline. Day sailing in Fort Lauderdale offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and we’re always happy to discuss cruising options to help design your ideal day on the water. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages, and onboard refrigeration is available. This experience is offered as a semi-private tour (the remaining seats may be purchased by other travelers) or an all-private tour both with a maximum of six guests.
