Itinerary

New River

3 hours

The waterway that built this city. Early settlers used it to move goods to the coast, and today you'll glide past yachts, waterfront homes, and downtown's skyline before continuing on toward the grand estates of Millionaire's Row.
The Wharf Fort Lauderdale

Passing by

An open-air spot on the water with bars, food vendors, and a good crowd. A nice one to note if your group wants to grab a bite after the tour.
Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale

Passing by

A mile of parkland tracing both banks of the New River through downtown, connecting spots like the Museum of Discovery and Science and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
Las Olas Riverfront

Passing by

Cruise the scenic river bend where Fort Lauderdale’s premier downtown district meets the water. Enjoy a relaxed view of sleek luxury towers and impressive mega-yachts docked right against the city center. It’s a beautiful snapshot of the city's sophisticated, modern waterfront lifestyle.
Stranahan House

Passing by

Fort Lauderdale's oldest surviving building, built in 1901 by Frank Stranahan, the trader often credited as the city's founder. It's still standing quietly on the riverbank, a real link to what this city looked like before the skyline went up.
Colee Hammock Park

Passing by

Gliding past Colee Hammock Park, keep an eye on the far bank: one estate looks lifted straight from a fairy tale, while its neighbors range from sleek, modern glass boxes to Old World villas with Moroccan and Italian flourishes. It's a floating tour of architectural styles, right here at the heart of Millionaire's Row.
15th Street Fisheries

Passing by

Gliding past Lauderdale Marina, look for the open deck perched right over the water: this is 15th Street Fisheries, a Fort Lauderdale institution since 1978. It's known for fresh local seafood, water views from nearly every table, and the giant tarpon that gather at the docks below, waiting to be fed by diners and passersby alike. It's one of the best-loved dining spots along the waterway, and a favorite return stop for boaters cruising by.
