Your friends, with room to spread out

We take out plenty of groups of 11 or 12, and we’re just as happy to welcome a smaller crew. Settle around the table, grab a seat in the shade or head to the open deck for photos. On a 40-foot boat, you have room to move around and get comfortable without squeezing everyone into one spot.

Your phone runs the music. We’ll handle the boat.

Connect your phone to our Rockford Fosgate sound system and put on the songs everyone knows by heart. Your captain and mate handle the trip, and the coolers are already filled with ice. There’s a private bathroom on board, too. All those comforts come with your charter, whatever your group size.

A swim, a float or a lazy afternoon aboard

Cruise past waterfront mansions and huge yachts, take a few photos and catch up with your friends. At a swim stop, stretch out on the floating mat or stay on the boat with the music. Tell the crew what sounds fun to you. Swim and sandbar stops depend on conditions and the captain’s judgment.

Pick a few hours that are just for you

Two hours is a lovely way to get out on the water. Three gives you more time to cruise, take photos and enjoy each other’s company. Four is our most popular choice and leaves more time to swim and float. Choose five, six or eight hours when you want to make a day of it. Trips leave from Cox’s Landing in Fort Lauderdale; your confirmation has the arrival details.

One private charter price for your group

You’re booking the whole boat. Two-hour charters start at $550 Monday–Thursday when booked directly, or $650 Friday–Sunday. Captain, mate, standard-route fuel, coolers and ice are included, with no separate captain, gas or ice charge at the boat. The rate is per charter, so your group size changes how you split it. Taxes, booking fees and optional gratuity are extra; checkout confirms the total for your date.

Plan your trip

Bring a few things. We’ve got the big stuff.

A cooler full of your favorite drinks, songs you love and an afternoon with your friends. That’s a good start.

Pack what you like

Bring drinks, ready-to-eat snacks, water and any cups or utensils you’ll need. Our two large coolers and ice are ready when you arrive.

Get the playlist going

Save your music before the trip and bring a charged phone or battery pack. Keep it mellow or get everyone singing along.

Leave room for a swim

Bring swimsuits, towels, sunscreen and sunglasses. Anyone who would rather stay dry is welcome to relax aboard.

Before you book

See the places to sit, stretch out and cool off, then compare the charter lengths.
