Yacht Charter in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is made for cruising: miles of Intracoastal Waterway lined with waterfront homes, the canals off Las Olas, and an easy run out to the Atlantic. Our Fort Lauderdale yachts are hand-picked for groups who want to see it properly.

Why charter in Fort Lauderdale
The “Venice of America” has more navigable waterways than almost anywhere in Florida. A typical half-day charter cruises the Intracoastal Waterway past the mansions of Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach, loops up the New River through downtown, and can anchor in Lake Sylvia for a swim on a calm day.
Winterfest Boat Parade, December 12, 2026
The Winterfest Boat Parade lights up the New River and Intracoastal each December. Watching from the water means planning ahead: viewing boats book early and must stay clear of the parade route, so your captain picks a safe vantage point.
Miami or Fort Lauderdale?
Fort Lauderdale is calmer and more residential, ideal for a relaxed cruise or a family celebration. If you want the Miami skyline, sandbars or the largest choice of yachts, see our Miami Beach charters; many groups staying in Fort Lauderdale are happy to drive 40 minutes south.
