Venice of America Sightseeing Cruise
Overview
The Sea Rocket is Fort Lauderdale's top boat tour experience! Every cruise takes you past Millionaires' Row mansions, celebrity estates, mega-yachts, and the downtown skyline. Your captain shares stories about local history and wildlife while you enjoy cocktails, beer, or soft drinks from our full bar aboard our 65-foot speed boat.
Part of the ride winds through the calm Intracoastal Waterway and New River, known as the "Venice of America," passing multimillion-dollar estates and towering mega-yachts along the way. Weather permitting, the ride opens up into the Atlantic for a fast, speed boat stretch along Fort Lauderdale Beach.
Comfortable seating, onboard restrooms, and a fun crew make this the perfect outing for families, couples, and visitors of all ages. This one hour ride combines a relaxed scenic cruise with an exciting speed boat adventure, giving guests the best of both worlds on the water. This is Fort Lauderdale's must-do boat tour!
