Friends together on a private Freaky Tiki charter in Fort Lauderdale
Easy for groups

One meetup in Plantation keeps the whole outing simple.

Plantation works well when guests are coming from different parts of western Broward. Meet at one home, office or hotel, combine vehicles and travel east together. After the drive east, spend the day cruising Fort Lauderdale’s waterways.

Getting to the boat from Plantation

Take one route east.

Use the typical range shown above as a planning estimate from central Plantation. Weekday rush hour can change it, so office groups should choose their meetup and leave time before the day of the charter instead of coordinating several cars at the last minute.

  • Use one office, hotel or home as the meetup.
  • Combine cars before heading east when possible.
