Fort Lauderdale Sightseeing Cruise with Sandbar Swim Stop

★ 4.8 (508 reviews) · By Staying Afloat Party Boat

Hop aboard the Fort Lauderdale Sightseeing Cruise with Sandbar Swim Stop for a lively day on the water. Bring your own drinks and bathing suit, and get ready to cruise past luxury yachts and stunning mansions while the crew keeps the energy high with fun jokes and great music.

When the captain pulls into the popular sandbar spot, the party really kicks off. Tied up among a sea of boats, you'll find floats like unicorns and flamingos waiting. Jump in, swim, and float around with friends or new acquaintances. After some fun in the sun, hop back on the boat for a dance party that lasts all the way to the dock.

This experience is perfect for those who want a mix of sightseeing, socializing, and relaxing. You can bring your favorite snacks and drinks (just no glass), and enjoy the community cooler of free bottled water. The boat has a restroom, and the crew loves making sure everyone has a good time.

Choose from multiple departure times—10am, 1pm, and 4pm—that include the sandbar swim stop. The 7pm cruise skips the swim and offers a scenic tour through Downtown Fort Lauderdale at sunset, giving you a different perspective of this vibrant city.
