This was a beautiful private tour of the canals and real estate with such a welcoming tour guide. We went at 6pm and the temperature was great.

Safe driver, nice scenic route, arrived to pick up spot on time, great hospitality, you can bring your own food and drinks
Such a relaxing and unique boat tour. We are a family of 3 and enjoyed going into the smaller canals and seeing all the beautiful homes. Would better for a couple or small group…highly recommend!
Relaxing, great experience. We saw many yachts and gorgeous boats and homes. I would recommend for anyone who wants to see the intercoastal.
We had a relaxing cruise for my Mom’s 70th birthday. A great experience for our whole family,
We had a great experience, we were running late because our car was late picking us up, he waited on us and we had a great time on the boat..I would definitely do it again.
A wonderful experience! Small business and locally managed - Damien was extremely knowledgeable and very social. Loved the size of the boat - don’t be concerned that it is small - it’s a great intimate experience with a group of 6, easy to get in and out and very comfy!
I wanted to do something different and special for my boyfriend’s birthday — a little surprise with a few of his closest friends — and this eco boat tour was just perfect! The hosts were super friendly and made everything so easy. We could bring our own aperitif, they handled the music, and even provided plates, cups, and cutlery. All we had to do was show up and enjoy the ride! This time of year is amazing for a sunset tour or any special occasion; and I’m already thinking of booking again soon — maybe a brunch for my parents next time. I’m sure they’ll love it just as much as we did!
The gondola ride was quiet and allowed us to get a close and view the beautiful homes and yachts while perusing the channels and intercoastal waters. Our French captain provided champagne and comfortable seating under a protective canopy so that you can enjoy the breeze and views. Traveling with friends made this enjoyable to still have a conversation along with our libations.
If you want a different perspective of Fort Lauderdale beyond the beach, this tour is an absolute must! I am so glad I decided on this experience—it offered such a unique look at the local life and the incredible energy of the city. The entire trip was peaceful and relaxing, providing the perfect escape from the bustle of the streets. There is nothing like watching a classic Florida sunset over the water with a nice cocktail in hand. The music was spot on—great vibes that complemented the scenery perfectly without being overpowering. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, watching the golden hour glow over the mansions and yachts is pure magic. I’ll be highly recommending this to everyone I know. Truly a 10/10 experience!
The boat tour with Captain Damian in Fort Lauderdale was truly amazing. We went as a family (2 adults, 2 kids) and it was the perfect mix of peaceful, fun, and even romantic. The boat is cozy and comfortable, the ride was super smooth, and the views were incredible, calm, and beautiful the whole way. Damian is so kind, sweet, and knowledgeable, and he makes everyone feel welcome from the moment you step on board. He even let our kids take a turn driving the boat, and they were beyond excited, it was the highlight of their trip! We also saw manatees and iguanas, which made the experience feel extra special. The music on board was lovely, and we really appreciated being allowed to bring our own food. We brought a charcuterie board with cheese and honestly felt like millionaires cruising along the water. I 100% recommend this tour.
This trip along the river was very pleasant and relaxing. I recommend this activity to other travelers.
What an amazing experience! Our family had the most wonderful time eco-boating in Fort Lauderdale. The electric boat was incredibly quiet and smooth, which made all the difference in connecting with nature. Our hosts were absolutely charming and welcoming. They speak English, French, and Spanish, which made everyone feel comfortable and added such a nice personal touch to the experience. The highlight was spotting manatees in their natural habitat! The silent electric motor meant we could glide right up without disturbing them – truly magical. We also saw beautiful birds and cruised through a stunning natural reserve. My family was absolutely impressed by the wildlife and pristine nature right here in Fort Lauderdale. This is hands-down one of the best ways to see Fort Lauderdale’s natural side. Perfect for nature lovers and families who want an eco-friendly adventure on the water. We’ll absolutely be back!
We are so glad to have booked this tour as a family brunch event. It was excellent and gives a unique experience of Fort Lauderdale. A must!
Very good expirience with Demian smooth trip ! Boat is very nice! Fort Lauderdale is very nice at night also ! Recommended !
We booked this for a birthday and had a fabulous time! Damien kept in good communication beforehand with texts, which was great. It’s byob and snacks, but he had all the other necessities on board for convenience. The boat itself is so cute and made for a charming ride on the water. Definitely book this for a memorable night out!
This was an excellent private cruise in the Riverfront Ft Lauderdale Damien was an excellent guide and so personable. We enjoyed the views and seeing the waterway !!
Excellent time cruising the magnificent waterways, yachts and homes. Was impressed with the design and quietness of the battery powered boat. Brought some wine and food. Very relaxing afternoon. Thank you Damien.
Excellent experience !! From our initial contact through the sailing experience, the crew gave us an amazing experience!! Will be back.
Great way to discover the Venice of America's waterways. The boat is small but designed to chill and the captain was great and super friendly.
We recently had a team meeting on this cute scenic eco boat in Fort Lauderdale’s Riverside, and it turned out to be one of the best choices for a relaxed and productive outing. The setting was perfect for open conversation, team bonding, and enjoying the beautiful views of the waterways. We brought along some pizza and wine, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everyone had a great time! Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a creative and refreshing team-building activity — and the Captain was fantastic!
Such a relaxing and scenic boat ride! The captain shared the best of Riverside, the stunning homes, restaurants, and luxury yachts. We spotted some wildlife, cruised past gorgeous estates, and enjoyed every moment on the water. A perfect mix of sightseeing and relaxation — highly recommend!
We did this gondola-style boat ride in July for my daughter’s birthday and it was perfect! Peaceful, fun, and a beautiful way to connect with nature. The captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Everyone loved it! If you want to escape busy Miami and enjoy a joyful, relaxing time with family or friends, this is 100% the way to go!
We had such a wonderful time! We were celebrating a great accomplishment and decided to do something different than usual. From start to finish our experience was wonderful! The captain was very professional and treated us like royalty. We brought snacks and drinks. It was a picnic on the boat. Highly recommend it!!
We had such a fun time celebrating happy hour with friends on the boat! The setting was cozy and intimate, perfect for sharing drinks and laughs as we cruised the canals. The captain was so kind, the music was excellent, and the boat felt very stable — it hardly moved at all. The views were beautiful, the ride was smooth and silent, and it made for a truly memorable evening together
Captain Damien was welcoming, fun, and made us feel at home. My daughter even got to drive—an unforgettable experience!
We had a wonderful time onboard this private tour led by the boat captain Damian, who shared his vast sailing experience and passion for preserving nature (this the only 'Eco' tour offered in the region!). Great to consider for special occasions!
We were greeted with a glass of prosecco and got to play our own music—such a relaxing and romantic ride. The boat was perfect, and the captain kindly dropped us at a great restaurant we chose last minute. Highly recommend!
“Loved this tour! The boat was spacious and comfortable—perfect for any occasion. A wonderful way to enjoy a happy hour with friends and family. Highly recommend!”
An excellent way to appreciate the beauty of Fort Lauderdale! The city is full of scenic canals, stunning architecture, full of boats and yachts I had never seen before. Our private boat was spacious and comfortable, with a roof that gave perfect shade from the sun. Superb captain! A truly memorable experience! We loved it!
Very nice aperitif and beautiful walk with friends on the canals of Fort Lauderdale! Everything was perfect and the captain is top!
Walking through Fort Lauderdale with my family and it was a walk is a very relaxing and comfortable boat. the girls enjoyed seeing the magnificent yachts and mansions and the captain is very gentle and nice.
