The Sea Rocket is Fort Lauderdale's top boat tour experience! Every 75-minute 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. Two cruise options depart daily from Bahia Mar. The Speed Boat Ocean Cruise (9 AM, 1 PM, 5 PM) blasts into the Atlantic at 30 mph along Fort Lauderdale Beach. The Intracoastal Sightseeing Cruise (11 AM, 3 PM) features an extended route down the New River for more time exploring the scenic "Venice of America." Comfortable seating, onboard restrooms, and a fun crew make this the perfect outing for families, couples, and visitors of all ages. Love speed and ocean spray? Go for the thrill ride. Prefer calm waters and more sightseeing? The Intracoastal cruise is for you. Either way, this is Fort Lauderdale's must-do boat tour!

Thinking about the Speed Boat Ocean Cruise for my anniversary!

Hey everyone! I’m planning to surprise my partner with the Speed Boat Ocean Cruise in Fort Lauderdale. I heard that it’s super fun and fast-paced, which is exactly what we love! Just curious if anyone has done it and if the stories from the captain are actually interesting? I want the full experience! Also, any tips for making the most of it?

Just did the Intracoastal Sightseeing Cruise, and wow!

I just got back from the Intracoastal Sightseeing Cruise and it was awesome! The views of the mansions were unreal, and the captain’s stories made it even better. We went at 11 AM, and the weather was perfect. It felt nice and relaxing, especially compared to the speed boat. If you like chilling out with a drink and taking it all in, this is the one to do! Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale.
