The short ride leaves the rest of the day wide open.

There is no need to build the entire schedule around transportation. Have brunch in Oakland Park, meet in one spot and head to Fort Lauderdale together. After the charter, the group can return to the Culinary Arts District or keep the evening going elsewhere.
