Cruise out together, drop anchor when conditions allow and turn the water into your group’s private hangout.
Plan a private Fort Lauderdale sandbar charter for up to 22 guests with a captain, mate, BYOB coolers, Bluetooth sound, floating mat and easy water access.
Freaky Tiki turns a water day into private group time: cruise the Intracoastal, play your music, bring drinks and snacks, then swim, float or anchor when the captain finds a safe option. Unlike a public party boat, the entire charter belongs to your group of up to 22 guests.
Travel time and changing conditions matter on any sandbar trip, so a four-hour charter usually gives the group a better chance to cruise and enjoy meaningful time in the water without feeling rushed. Five, six or eight hours create an even more relaxed day. Shorter trips can still be excellent for cruising and celebrations, but may offer less flexibility for a stop.
Weather, tide, current, marine traffic, water conditions, charter length and the captain’s safety judgment all affect where the boat can anchor and whether a sandbar or swim stop makes sense. No responsible charter can promise the same stop every day, so the route stays flexible and safety comes first.
A giant floating mat, easy swim ladder, comfortable seating and dry storage make water-focused trips easier. Swimming is always optional, and the Boat & Amenities policy explains life jackets, changing depths and captain-approved stops. Bring a towel, swimsuit, sun protection and a comfortable swimming PFD if you want one.
The best Fort Lauderdale sandbar charters leave room for changing conditions while making the group comfortable wherever the captain stops.
Bring swimsuits, towels, sun protection and a dry bag or waterproof pouch for valuables.
Start with four hours when a swim or sandbar-style stop is central to the day; consider longer for a relaxed pace.
Bring easy snacks and drinks that work around water; the onboard coolers are already filled with ice.
See what is onboard and what to pack on the Boat & Amenities page. When you are ready, check available times and final pricing for your date.

No. Sandbar and swim stops depend on weather, tide, current, water conditions, marine traffic, charter length and the captain’s safety judgment.
Four hours is the most popular starting point because it leaves more flexibility for cruising and time in the water. Five, six or eight hours create a more unhurried sandbar-style day.
Bring swimsuits, towels, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, drinks, simple snacks and a dry place for phones and valuables. Coolers and ice are provided.
