Family Friendly Fort Lauderdale Boat Cruise And Swim

This listing does not explain that the family friendly option is only the morning slot. We booked an afternoon not realizing this. The captain met with us upon boarding to explain that fact and that viator does not provide that information. They offered a full refund and if we decided to stay on, to try and keep inappropriate things to a minimum. It was a mild trip even with the bachelorette party on board, though there were still some moments of "adult" behavior. The trip itself was alright. It certainly was not what we were expecting for a trip to a sandbar. It's really just a place in the canals where boats anchor up and people party.

My friends and I had a great time and everyone was awesome. We will be back again to do a day time trip

Such a fun time. The crew took care of us and made sure everyone had a good time. Met some lovely people which was a bonus Thanks for a great afternoon on the water!

Amazing experience! We had a wonderful time! My favorite part was the swimming in the sandbar. It was definitely worth it!

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY!!!! I know there are party boats, but the only reason I booked this is because it is described as family friendly. The music was filthy and perverse even after I spoke to the captains. My 14 year old daughter was shocked and mortified at some of the behaviors we observed. Please change the description of this excursion!!

My husband and I went with our 2 teenage daughters (16 & 18). We had an amazing time! Our captains were knowledgeable and entertaining. The sandbar was the highlight. We floated on inflatables but you could also stand as long as you are taller than 5 feet. There was also an ice cream boat at the sand bar. Great time!

It was fun and Captain Ross and BJ were very friendly. Nice vibe and swimming was great!!! Many laughs and I think this trip works for all ages. We had young families on the boat and college kids, we were the eldest people on the trip, but had a great time!!

We had a blast on the boat! 2 hours was enough time for a cruise of the mansions on the intercoastal (the tour guides tell you a little about the owners, too), and time to get in the water at the sand bar. The kids (ages, 5, 7, 10) had fun on the lily pad, too. Ross and BJ were friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and had fun. I highly recommend it!

We booked this through Viator as a "family friendly" boat cruise but that's just marketing to fill the party boat - it's no different than the regular "non family friendly" booking. It's a nice ride to a sandbar filled with 20-somethings getting as drunk as possible, with the boat providing a "shot-ski" and a beer funnel. The music was explicit, including "WAP" and the guests twerking away and vaping. My older teens had an enjoyable time watching all the shenanigans but I would NOT bring younger children aboard. I'm 48 and felt weird having my teens aboard.

Our family gang of 13 had a terrific time on the boat tour of Ft Lauderdale. Ross was a terrific boat captain -- serious enough to keep us safe but fun just the same. BJ was a terrific tour guide, providing a lot of stories about all the millionaires' homes and mega yachts. Would definitely go with them again!

This was a very fun experience for my kids, family, and friends! John & Splash were great hosts! They were hilarious, a good time, and accommodated the music that was our preference! I would definitely do this activity again with my family!

We had a fun time, it just wasn’t what was expected. It was advertised as a family friendly boat cruise but it was more of a party boat atmosphere. With younger kids not all was appropriate. The tour guides were fun, helpful, and did their best to keep things PG-13. If you are looking for a fun time I recommend it.

Captain John and Ryan were awesome hosts. We had a blast. Visiting from Texas and spending a couple hours on a sandbar was just what the doctor ordered

It was one of the best trips on the water we ever did and hope we can get back again before heading home

Ross and Jenny were great! We totally enjoyed them! They made the ride interesting and enjoyable for our entire family!

It's a pleasure to stay with The Ananda Kufri. Room is so comfortable and luxurious and the view from our room is so stunning specially the snow cover mountains. Staff is also specially front office team like sunaina, sushil, hitender and manisha are so generous and professional and food is also delicious 😋. Definitely going to travel again and stay here. We make lot of memories with The Ananda.

Great time. Capt Ross and John were very friendly and luckily had a fun group of people. Gave us enough time to swim and houses were awesome,

Thank you for a fun day on the water! Adam and Jennifer were excellent hosts! We appriciate their time and playing with our kids!

I am a local & I had never tried these day time get aways. I must say after giving it a shot with family I had in town it was a lot of fun!!! John & V were such a fun duo!! The personality all the laughter & a great play list! It was such a great time! Informative on home owners all in all I had to share my thoughts with anyone contemplating to take this day time excursion.. don’t hesitate it is worth wild! I will do it again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Harris and adam were awesome. Funny and personable. Had a great time with the family. Would do it again for sure.

Great tour, the experience was family friendly, we all laughed and enjoyed our trip. The tour guys were excellent very informative and charismatic. I totally recommend if you visit Fort lauderdale.

We love the ride, we love the sand bar! Little trip but i think it was awesome! Mr. Adam and the white guy were amazing, you guys are doing a good job! Thank for made our trip the best! God bless you!

These guys were great and very entertaining! The tour was amazing and had a great area to swim with the kids.

Fun and inexpensive trip that allowed us to sightsee and cool off in the water. The boat had plenty of shade and areas to get some sun if you wanted to.

Look no further for something fun to do! My daughter and I boarded the boat with the funnest group we could have possibly landed. Captain Ross and his best mate, “Jennifer with the mustache”, were excellent hosts. They gave us commentary on the various mansions and yachts as we were heading out the the sand bar for a fun float. The music was excellent, making the vibe 👌🏼! My only complaint is that it didn’t last longer! It was that fun. Do it!
