The waterfront looks good in the evening

Watch the light change over the homes and yachts as you cruise through Fort Lauderdale. Put on something mellow, catch up with your friends and take a few photos. Tell the crew sunset is your priority so they can help match an available start time and route to your date.

Start the evening on the water

A two-hour cruise is a lovely way to begin a night out. Three hours gives you longer to sit back and enjoy each other’s company. Book more time if you’re adding a birthday, wedding-weekend celebration or an afternoon on the water before sunset.

We’ll help you choose the time

Sunset moves with the season, so send us your date and we’ll help you choose from the available departures. Leave time after docking for the ride to dinner. It’s nice to enjoy those last few minutes aboard without watching the clock.

A few comforts for a breezy evening

The boat has covered seating, a private bathroom, a sound system and ice-filled coolers. Bring your favorite drinks, a charged phone for photos and a light layer for the breeze. Your licensed captain and mate look after the trip.

Plan around sunset

A little time to slow down together.

Choose your date, bring your favorite drinks and leave the evening a little breathing room.

Check available start times

Availability changes by date and season; ask the team which open slot is the closest match for sunset.

Leave a dinner buffer

Avoid scheduling a reservation immediately after the charter in case boarding, traffic or the group runs a few minutes behind.

Bring an evening layer

South Florida stays warm, but a light layer can make the breeze more comfortable after sunset.

Before you book

See what’s on the boat, what to bring and the policies for your trip. Then choose a date and check the total.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best length for a Fort Lauderdale sunset cruise?

Two hours is a popular choice for a dedicated golden-hour or evening cruise. Three hours adds time to relax, and longer options work when sunset is part of a larger private celebration.

How do we choose a departure for sunset?

Send Freaky Tiki your date and tell us sunset is the part you don’t want to miss. Sunset changes through the year, so we’ll help you choose an available departure and charter length that put you on the water at the right time. Use the calendar for current openings and leave a little time after docking before dinner.

Do we buy sunset cruise tickets or reserve the boat?

With Freaky Tiki, you reserve the whole private boat for your group, up to 22 guests. Choose an available charter length and departure, bring your favorite drinks and connect your phone for the evening’s music. Your captain and mate are included.

What comes with our private boat charter?

Every Freaky Tiki private charter includes the 40-foot boat, a captain and mate, standard-route fuel, two coolers filled with ice, a private bathroom, the Rockford Fosgate sound system and a floating mat. Connect your phone and bring the drinks, ready-to-eat food and towels your group wants for the day.
