Keep the Hollywood beach day and Fort Lauderdale boat day distinct.
Enjoy Hollywood’s beach and Broadwalk one day, then see Fort Lauderdale from the water the next.
Broadwalk to boat day
Add a private Fort Lauderdale boat day to your Hollywood trip.
Hollywood has the Broadwalk, a long beach and plenty to do after dark. When the group wants a private boat charter, it is worth making the quick trip north to Fort Lauderdale for Freaky Tiki and a different view of South Florida from the water.
About 9 miles away—usually 20–30 minutes. Check the traffic from Hollywood before heading to the dock.

Choose one meeting point before heading north.
Beach hotels and Downtown Hollywood start from different directions, so pick one group meetup before the ride north. A single departure keeps the day relaxed and makes it easier to return for dinner, a concert or a night downtown.
For your trip from Hollywood, compare the private charters, browse the boat photos and find an available departure before arranging rides. Your booking confirmation includes the pickup details.
- Choose the Broadwalk or downtown as the group meetup.
- Allow more time if everyone is leaving a beachfront hotel.
- Keep the return flexible if dinner reservations are in Hollywood.

Hollywood is a great base; Fort Lauderdale is worth the ride.
Keep the Broadwalk mornings and Hollywood evenings you already planned. Add Freaky Tiki in Fort Lauderdale when the group wants the whole boat, its own music and a few hours together on the waterways.
