We arrived in Fort Lauderdale two before our cruise, first day was raining second day was fine so while walking down by the river we saw the Carrie B Cruise company and as it was only one & half cruise we decided to take it & then have lunch. We cruised passed million dollar Mansions & Cruises the commentary on board was impressive & informative about who owns both. Air conditioning down stairs with a bar & place to buy snacks., upstairs some covered seating. Very enjoyable cruise.

Itinerary
Join us for a 1.5 hour fully narrated sightseeing cruises of Fort Lauderdale’s yachts and homes of the rich and famous traveling on the New River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and Port Everglades.
Our tour begins at our Downtown Fort Lauderdale dock which just happens to be a stone's throw away from the Stranahan House
We continue our tour over the Henry E. Kinney Tunnel and outbound on the narrow, winding New River. From the upper deck of the Carrie B, you will have an excellent view of the Riverside Hotel. Opened in 1936, this hotel is the pinnacle of old world charm and elegance in Fort Lauderdale.
We continue past homes which sold in the early 1920's for only $4,000 to $8,000 dollars. Today these homes in Rio Vista and Colee Hammock sell for multi-million dollar prices. We continue past Colee Hammock Park and head out to the widest section of the New River.

I like everything on board, such a nice trip
It was beautiful and it worth it
It was fun to go through the canals and see the boats and houses
Great narrator. Great boat. It was a great trip.
We took this cruise after our own cruise had ended at Fort Lauderdale and we needed to kill some time prior to flying home to the UK. The tour concentrated on all the expensive waterfront homes with some entertaining background on the various owners. We did enjoy it plus seeing how many waterways there were.
Drew was awesome tour guide! He was friendly, funny & just wonderful! Highly recommend!
Plenty of parking nearby. Short 4 minute walk back to the boat after parking up. Guide very knowledgable and all the staff on board were brilliant. Really enjoyed this experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our boat tour on the Carrie B. Drew provided the commentary and was a delight, as well as well versed on all the mansions and yachts we saw along the Ft. Lauderdale waterways. So glad we booked this tour.
Great tour. Very informative and interesting. Loved the cruiser - spacious and the ability to move around as you want is great. Air conditioning below and some covered seating on top deck. Loved seeing all the superb, beautiful homes on the Venice of Fort Lauderdale, and also finding out who owns them…. great!! Good to have drinks and snacks available Staff very helpful, especially helping my husband on and off as he walks with a stick. Def book this trip… great value for money.
Calm waters and entertaining MC. No need to bring drinks and snacks, they have them on board. Move around the boat during the tour.
Great way to see homes that you can't see anywhere else. Narrated very well , just couldn't remember everything he talked about. Probably will do it again in the future . Great time.
Lots of fun very visual and refreshing
Great experience and very informative. The best views and peaceful ride! We were able to enjoy the boat ride even though it started raining. The accommodations were allowed for a comfortable afternoon.
Great experience !! Book it it’s the best
Great experience. Nice staff
You will see some amazing and extravagant homes along the waterways. We did a similar tour in Miami this summer but this one is far better. The captain/guide was vey informative.
The tour guide was excellent. The crew was great. Everybody was a lot of fun. We enjoyed it immensely. Thank you very much! I did have a question. Guy at the gate had said that they were going to give me a refund for one of the tickets which wasn't a big deal but he offered to do it and I never got the refund. Either way I just thought I would check.
Seeing all the beautiful homes and buildings. Hearing history of Ft Lauderdale. Relaxing and informative. Loved the ac for cooling down and the bar. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Great group of people running the tour.
Very nice staff, not their fault, but AC broke and only one working unit and fan. Thank goodness not a crowded tour.
Great boat trip around the area showing beautiful mansions, yachts and scenery . Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend!
This boat ride was phenomenal and the host was very good. He made the ride extra special with his stories and real estate history.
Just a wonderful experience. We had s beautiful day. Our guide Drew was awesome. I enjoyed thst we could walk around the boat and not chained to our seats. Offers outside shaded or sun and Inside in A/C. Very clean
It was a nice day so the ride was nice. Staff help me get on and off boat and even brought me a chair to sit on while waiting for my daughter to bring the car.
Comfortable, beautiful site seeing, knowledgeable staff. Great way to see the Intercoastal Waterway.
Did not go on this your, they canceled due to mechanical problems
Great experience and Guide was really good!
Great experience. Very nice boat. Could sit in the air conditioned space, or outside. The tour guide uses great sound system. Sometimes on other tours you can't understand anything they say. The guide was outstanding. Very informative and funny. Would highly recommend the cruise.
I loved it everyone and everything was great
Great tour and tour guide. We had a great family visit.
Wonderful time! I highly recommend seeing how the small percentage of the population (multi millionaires) live! Those homes!! Those yachts!!!
This was an absolutely beautiful experience. This was mine and my friend’s first time in Florida and this was just a beautiful was see the parts of Florida that aren’t really accessible from just driving around. And also being on the water was so peaceful, and our tour guide was hilarious lol
It was nice to see where people who are rich live and the interesting history given by the narrator.
Like the tour and love the narrator. Amazed with all the mansions and their yatchs. Convenient location for Carrie B, near Las Olas blvd. and the river walk.
The boat was comfortable, shaded place to sit and AC available. The guide was informative. Houses and yachts were beautiful. Trip was just long enough.
Very cozy with great narration. I had a really nice time with my fiance and looking to book again with other family members
It is both spectacular looking at all of the homes from the water and educational about the owners and history of the area. Our narrator/guide made it not only informative but entertaining. The ship is nice with open and covered seating on the top deck as well as fully air-conditioned space on the lower deck. Check in was easy, the whole crew was attentive and made sure we all had a great time. I highly recommend this tour and will go back again.
Trying to reserve the boat tour we wanted took over two hours. I spoke with a man, then a woman whose ability to speak English was almost none. I was booked on the wrong tour. I was able to cancel that. Then I received a ticket for what seemed the correct tour but the meeting place was confusing. We went to the place suggested and found it to be the wrong place. A much smaller boat appeared that held only about 12 people. The one we were supposed to go on was a sizable double-decker. The itinerary was not at all what we wanted. A totally disappointing experience.
Great experience. Fun Tour! Perfect way to spend some time.
Wonderful adventure on the boat . Beautiful views on houses and Fort Lauderdale city .
