Bad value for the money

This came up as a must try in Ft. Lauderdale and it was a bit disappointing and a bad value for the price. They have 3 different tours. A South tour that goes to Hollywood (that one only operates every 2 hours starting at 1pm), the Central/Fr. Lauderdale tour, and the North tour which goes to Pompano Beach. If you want to do all 3 tours, be sure to start early in the day because it does take time. The boats have a captain and first mate who gives you information as you go. Unfortunately if you make a round trip you get the same information twice. They also sell overpriced drinks on the boat. They do have bathrooms on the boats which is a good thing. Sadly the seating on the boats is poor in the way they are laid out and the seats get very uncomfortable after a while as they are plastic with no cushioning. I wouldn’t recommend this service to anyone.

Excellent trip

Great way to see Fort Lauderdale. Well done to Captain Vince and his shipmate Kathy for an informative and amusing guide delivered with fun. We stayed on the bout for the whole round trip of 3hrs of 11 different stops in one of the 3 areas. This was recommended by my hotel and would highly recommend it - thanks Captain Vince.
