A comfortable craft, this vessel is air-conditioned but has plenty of deck space for those who want to stroll around in the fresh air. A cruise aboard this sleek, elongated cruiser includes a tour around a part of town called Millionaire's Row, past massive yachts docked outside elaborate homes, and the region's busy port, jammed with huge cruise ships and Navy yachts. Food and beverages are offered from a full bar. Adults pay $14.95; children under 12 pay $8.95.

Jungle Queen Riverboat

A south Florida institution Bahia Mar Yachting Center
Route A1A
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
United States
+1 954 462 5596 For more than 50 years, visitors have traveled on this stately riverboat. Tours sail past estates while an entertaining monologue by the captain points out the homes of the famous and the infamous. On three-hour day tours or four-hour dinner voyages you can sail to an island where you will dine amid tropical foliage. Evening cruises feature a dinner of barbecued ribs and shrimp, with a variety revue and sing-a-long cruising back.

Riverfront Cruises

Touring the Venice of America by water 300 Southwest First Avenue
(one block West of Andrews Avenue)
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
United States
+1 954 463 3372 / +1 800 499 2248 You can see the city from cruises that depart from Las Olas Riverfront Marketplace, itself a waterside dining and shopping spot. These cruises chug by the city's most historic sites, mega-yachts and cruise ships, showy hotels, the city's International Swimming Hall of Fame and Marina. Tours are 90 minutes long, leaving every two hours on the half hour beginning at 10:30a. There is an evening cruise at 8:30p. It is wise to call ahead, however, as times may change seasonally. Departure is every two hours, call for seasonal changes.
