Fort Lauderdale sits right on the southeast coast of Florida, making it the perfect place to get out on the water. One of the best ways to do this is by taking a boat trip. There are all types of excursions available so you can plan a special night out, or gather your friends together and make it a group outing. Check out these boat trips for a night out in Fort Lauderdale.
Spirit of Lauderdale
Take a sunset cruise on the Spirit of Lauderdale for an entertaining and informative night out. Captain Mike, along with his crew, will tell you all about the catamaran as you sail out past the mansions to open water so you can watch the sunset. About halfway through the trip, you can enjoy a Champagne toast as you sit back and take in the beautiful views. The Spirit of Lauderdale is a 50-foot catamaran with 1,500 feet of deck space and a shaded bar. There is both covered seating and seating out in the open so that you can choose your experience.
Florida Everglades Night Tour Airboat Ride
Experience the Everglades at night as you cruise through the area on an airboat. The private tours come with your own captain, and they include admission to the Reptile, Glades, and Exotic Wildlife exhibits. The one-hour tour takes you along the grassy waterways at up to 40 miles per hour, and you are sure to see all kinds of wildlife including alligators, turtles, and wading birds. The night tours use smaller boats than the daytime tours, and you’ll head deeper into the Everglades.
Sunset Cocktail Cruise
Hop aboard the boat at Riverfront Cruises for an hour and a half booze-cruise. You can sip on a delicious cocktail as you cruise by the spectacular waterfront homes that sit along the New River as their lights come on for the night. The cruise includes a complimentary beverage and leaves from downtown Fort Lauderdale. You can also spend the evening dancing to great music while you socialize with your friends. This early evening cruise is a great way to get your weekend started.
Ride the Jungle Queen Riverboat
Take a cruise down the New River on the Jungle Queen Riverboat. This dinner, show, and sightseeing cruise includes an all-you-can-eat dinner, live entertainment, and even a variety show. The cruise leaves at 6 p.m. and lasts for four hours. Gather all your friends and get together for a fun night out to take in “The Venice of America.” You can see the millionaire’s homes that sit along the river, and watch the mega yachts as they cruise by.
Once you reach the Jungle Queen’s own tropical island, you’ll have dinner and get to enjoy the show. There is even some time to explore the island a little before you get back on the boat and head back to the dock.
Make any evening or night special, and plan a night out on one of the Fort Lauderdale boat trips. Just make sure to plan ahead and reserve a spot for everyone in your group.
