Sea Rocket Ocean Speed Boat Cruise In Fort Lauderdale, Fl

It was very nice, sunset was amazing. Our guides captain Ethan and Dom were very welcoming, super kind and extremely funny!! Thank you so much. I recommend doing this!

So much fun !!!! John Ethan & don were awesome tour guides !!! So pretty and such a cool experience

Very good , wish it was longer lol drinks are reasonable , reasonable prices this was def a great experience overall

The Sea Rocket speedboat tour was an absolute blast! At first, the ride started off pretty calm as we slowly made our way through the canals from the shore toward the open water. But once we hit the ocean—OH MY GOODNESS!—the experience completely changed! 🚤🌊 The captain started playing some serious 1980s rock ’n’ roll, and I was loving every minute of it. I even wanted to hear the Miami Vice theme! 😂 The music, the speed, the ocean, and everyone’s hair flying everywhere made it feel like one big adventure. I was screaming my head off and having the time of my life! My recommendation: sit toward the front of the boat. You can really feel the speed and the boat zipping across the waves from the front. The captain did plenty of turns and circles, which made the ride even more exciting. A few important tips: hold onto your hats and glasses! 😂 I was wearing glasses, and at times I honestly thought they were going to fly right off my face. Definitely skip the big sun hats unless you want to watch yours disappear into the Atlantic Ocean! After the high-speed portion, we slowed down as we headed back toward the port. The captain gave us a sightseeing tour and talked about some of the incredible waterfront homes, luxury yachts, and the wealthy people who own them. Some of those properties were absolutely unbelievable! Overall, this was an exhilarating, fun, and memorable experience. If you’re a thrill seeker like me and enjoy speed, music, water, and a little adrenaline, I highly recommend the Sea Rocket tour. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride! 🚤🌊🤩

The only issue I had was with the parking but everything else was fantastic. Great music. Friendly people.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Unfortunately, I have to settle for giving this company 1 star. Here’s our experience in a nutshell: My wife and I were vacationing in Fort Lauderdale, and on our last day, July 23, 2026, we decided to take a water tour with this company to cap off our vacation. We booked the 5:00 p.m. boating tour on the Sea Rocket. At approximately 2:45 p.m. that afternoon, my wife received a message through Viator instructing us to contact the company. When we spoke with them, we were initially told that our 5:00 p.m. tour was being canceled because there weren’t enough people booked for that time slot. They offered to move us to the 7:30 p.m. tour or reschedule for another day. Neither option worked for us. Then, the explanation changed. We were told the tour was actually being canceled because storms were in the forecast. At that point, we simply requested a refund. Instead, we were told that we could keep our payment as a credit to use at one of their locations in Fort Lauderdale or at another location in Maryland. We live approximately 10 hours away from either location, and we have no plans to return to Fort Lauderdale or go to Maryland anytime soon, so a credit was of no use to us. After going back and forth several times, they finally agreed to issue a refund. The representative we spoke with on July 23 told us that because THEY canceled the tour, our refund would be processed within 5–7 business days. We called the following week and were told the refund was being processed. The week after that, my wife followed up with them by email, and we still have not received our money back. So here I am, leaving this review because enough is enough. We paid for a tour, the company canceled it, and despite repeatedly being told that our refund was being processed, we still have not received it. Buyers beware. I will also be submitting feedback to the BBB regarding this experience.

Amazing and informative trip.. super value for money.. John & Dom super funny guys.. well worth the price!!!

First reservation was cancelled due to low turnout with just a couple hours notice. We were already in the area from an hour away. Rescheduled for two hours later. Drove to launch site at second designated arrival time and found out THERE that our second reservation had been cancelled as well!! No prior notice. This is totally unacceptable. Still waiting [third week] on a refund for this pre-paid trip. Would never expect a business to treat customers in such a manner. Never booking with this organization again. :(

Booked a similar speedboat excursion in Miami and it was a lot of fun. This boat didn’t have music or a PA system. Hard to hear the captain. It felt like a seniors cruise…

The ride and experience is wonderful and the staff was extremely polite and knowledgeable. The captain was great and I highly recommend you take this excursion when visiting Fort Lauderdale.

This was a great way to get on the water and see the sights. It was a relatively smooth ride and when going fast had a great breeze. Relaxing and enjoyable. Ice cold drinks were available for purchase and there was a bit of a sun canopy for some of the seats to get shade. I took my kids (1, 7, & 8) and they all enjoyed it! Bonus we got some crazy windblown hairdos 😆

Very relaxing experience! Deck hand and captain provided great customer service. In addition, the website for booking and wavier signing were simple to complete.

It was great the captain and assistant was very nice professional and welcoming, I also booked for the parasailing. But the weather not letting us be Greatttt..

This was basically a boat ride out into the ocean with a view of the beaches and hotels. Sightseeing excursion. You're in the sun the entire time, so take that into account if it's an issue. Staff were informative and friendly. Descent trip.

We had a great time. Fun for the family.

My fiance, kids, and friends had a great time. The captain was fun and gave us some cool knowledge. The experience made everyone smile.

So fun!! The hosts were great. There are adult beverages for sale. It was awesome. You should do it!

We had a great time. The boat goes fast once on open ocean, but not scary fast, so everyone enjoyed..

I booked 4 tickets for the Fort Lauderdale Ocean Speed Boat Cruise on Sunday June 7th at 1 and paid $219.20. Sunday June 7th at 8:28 in the morning I received a text saying that Sea Rocket did not have enough guests booked on your trip in order to operate. To please give the office a call. The gentleman on the phone asked if we could rebook, which was not an option as we were leaving Monday to return home. He told me to expect a refund within 48-72 hours. On June 9th I received a refund of $186.48, short of the full charge of $32.72. I reached out Wednesday June 10th and the gentleman was nice and understanding of where I was coming from but he couldn't explain the difference. As if I cancelled the ride and I reassured him that it was Sea Rocket who did it, not us due to not enough participation. He was as perplexed as I was and told me a supervisor would be giving me a call within 24 hours. Thursday came and no one called, so I called late Thursday evening and just so happened to get a supervisor who was very rude and told me to give it 48-72 hours for the rest of the refund to come thru...so hear I am waiting. I read of the same situation on google in a review that the customer seemed to be having the same issue. We were really looking forward to coming back in a few months and bringing my grandparents with us. Depending on how this ends up we might be rethinking that, not to mention we are having a big party with about 75 people and were looking to possibly have it with you guys! I am so beyond frustrated. If this is customer service yikes!! Finally talked to someone today and they advised me that my trip insurance will not be refunded, even though they cancelled on me. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM!

It was great Captain John was awesome as well music, it did go out for a bit, but he fixed it, also did get wet. If that’s what your looking for definitely will an ait more in back of the sea rocket. Id have to say parking is a little crazy, one person was 20 a car next car was 10 dollars an we were told to tell whoever was out there at ticket collect we were on sea rocket, she, was one rude, an two there should have better communication with the resort.

Do to bad weather we could not go out.but was not aware we couldn't they loaded us on the"SPEEDBOAT" and gave us a tour of the NO WAKE ZONE TOUR GUIDE said someone will be around for drinks.NO ONE COME AROUND... im requesting my money back because we did nothing but go in a circle and listen to bad jokes.

John and Mat told us alot of funny facts. Great day on the water and even saw a sea turtle! Would definately recommend

We had a wonderful time! Great boat ride and staff was incredible!

I am very disappointed in this company. We heard wonderful things about them and booked a cruise for five friends on a Monday afternoon. They canceled ourtrip about an hour before it was scheduled to go. We had trip insurance and was told we will receive a refund. It has been over a week and multiple calls and the refund has still not been processed. We had to book with a different company that same day. They said they canceled because of weather, but all of the other boats were still running. We had a lovely cruise with no issues. We were very disappointed when they canceled, but we ended up paying for two different cruises that day and still haven’t received our refund. Everyone I’ve spoke with has been very nice at the company, but no one is able to seem to help me get the refund. I’ve been told multiple times they will call me back and they never do. This came as a High recommendation from our hotel so I’m very disappointed in the outcome.

It was a wonderful trip. We enjoyed the beautiful area and fun ride. Drinks served to our seat and interesting facts about the local area.

Was a ton of fun and perfect amount of time for a quick getaway activity. Need 100 characters minimum

They cancelled the Morning of due to lack of people. Never got a refund. Very disappointed in the last minute notification and lack of reimbursement:.

We were ripped off!! Cancel last minute because they wanted more people but we wasted an uber ride and our time. And no refund yet. I will try to leave negative reviews everywhere!!

We booked a speed boat tour for 1pm April 5 about a month earlier. Only 4 hours before the start they notified me that they were canceling since they didn’t have enough passengers. Wow!! Good for them they save $ but meanwhile we took a $30 Uber to get there and they are not saying they will reimburse!! Avoid getting ripped off and having your time wasted!!

I booked and paid 2 tickets for April 4th 1PM for Sea Rocket Boat Cruise. The Sea Rocket moved my reservation from 1pm to 3pm. When we arrived 1.5 hours early at the location, the Sea Rocket cancelled our reservation. No refund is made yet. Their business and service engagement is absolutely unacceptable.

Cancelled a few hours prior to booked activity with an automated email citing weather. Weather was fine. Seems very odd, no effort made to address. Very disappointing service and comms.

Very nice! Great hospitality as well, saw some things I haven’t seen so super worth it!😇 really nice sights and also enjoyable being able to speed up and see the water!💦

Great trip with Jude and Cole! I am prone to motion sickness, so I was a little bit worried about boarding. It was a pretty smooth ride!! I was very afraid to try parasailing, but it was a good adventure and I do recommend it. The guys who took us out were personable and reassuring. The one thing I would change: adjusting the music volume level to the group. The music was at times so loud I could barely hear myself think (or what my kids were trying to say to me) and in a group including mostly under eight children and grown adult adults, the volume seemed unnecessary. But fully recommend this group. Nice guys. Easy to book and find!

Cancelled last minute due to weather, a long time to call and coordinate to another schedule and eventually got cancelled as well.

It was beautiful S/O to the captain he was so cool down to earth and shout out to Dom with the drink very good host

Amazing boat tour in Fort Lauderdale! Beautiful mansions, luxury yachts, and relaxing water views. Friendly guide, smooth ride, great vibes. Perfect way to explore the city. Highly recommend!

We went on the evening sunset cruise and sat in the bow seats. It was a lovely experience and had a very entertaining captain! It is a calm cruise and not a speed boat ride despite the boat name! ;)

I unfortunately was the only one who signed up and ubered there for 50$. I was notified it was cancelled after I called and that I should've gotten a "message through trip advisor" but I got no notification of cancellation. It was sad as it was my only day to do excursions and had dinner at Del Mar afterwards as comfort. They did not offer a refund which was infuriating. Happy to correct any of this review if I am off base in any way however it was a disappointing experience.

Friendly crew, fun ride. Our family enjoyed the tour and the view.

Horrible experience. They say that parking is validated in the harbor but they do not. Claimed they ran out of vouchers and told us to just tell the parking attendant that we were with Sea Rocket, yet she could not give us a discount without a voucher. Do not use this shady company.

DO NOT BOOK THIS! Hard to rate when the tour operator cancels but you can’t get a refund. At 11 am we get a text that the activity scheduled for 3 people ($139 US) was canceled by sea rockets. When we called to get a refund, we were told too bad you can’t get one. Was told we needed to have purchased the trip cancellation insurance through viator… but the activity was booked for the next day- we were not going to cancel!! This is a scam by the tour operator and viator. Called the tour operator 3 times so far- and no refund. And we have not been able to get through to viator to get a refund. Never again would I ever book a tour with this operator.

Best sunset little cruise around FTL where we got to see some mansions AND even got to see DOLPHINS for a good 5 minutes! Our captain was awesome, lots of info on the mansions around the area and full of fun facts. So interesting learning about all the & in the area! We even got to see some private yachts and learn who some of them belong to- super cool!! But the dolphins though, it was a real treat to see them for so long out there at sunset. Perfect cruise, great music too, I would definitely do it every time visiting the area. BOOK THIS TOUR if you’re in the area and do it for sunset time!!!

It's all about them, customer comes 2nd, no assistance to locate parking, no one at all on hand to make guests feel welcome at all

it was a fun and entertaining time. I came with my boyfriend and I must say, it was fun and informative

The operator canceled the tour on the same day of the tour. I called the operator to request a refund, but they said I have to contact Viator. I contacted Viator, & they said they have to contact the operator. I am still waiting for my refund. Based on other reviews, it appears this operator cancel their tours easily. It is better to book something else to ensure no disappointment, & left you with nothing to do.

Excellent trip, worth the money. All enjoyed, not too fast but still good fun. Come try on various things en route. Would go again

Thanks to captian Cole for his help since we missed the first tour - we were able to catch the 8:30! It was fabulous - a MUST DO with captain Anthony! What a personality - billionaire’s mile needs to give him a home!

It didn't happen. It was canceled do to weather, the capitan said. Sucks that we had to go all the way there and nothing happened.

Two weeks in a row the ride got canceled and I never got a refund. My girlfriend came up from Jamaica and really wanted to go it was canceled my nephew came down from college he really wanted to ho it was canceled again I'm done and as I said I never got a refund
