Got there just in time for boarding, make sure to get there early to find your parking and to get a shaded seat. The staff were great and the tour was beautiful! Great views and a knowledgeable, funny narration of our route. Make sure to bring a hat and extra sunscreen!

I've been coming to Ft Lauderdale for many years but this is the first time I took the Carrie B Cruise. What a delight! Well organized, the tour leader was a wealth of information on every site along the intracoastal. Don't hesitate to try it, I'm confident that you'll be pleased.

Only had a brief stay in Fort Lauderdale, prior to our cruise, chose this tour as a way to see what we could do for a few hours. We were very pleased and had a good time. The host was very funny and informative. A lovely way to spend an hour and a half. Thank you!!

It was great. The narrator was very good and did a great job. Will recommend to all. They even gave us information on each home and the owners.

We throughly enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide had a great sense of humor and had us laughing while he showed us where the rich and famous live. There was plenty of shade on the boat which was helpful for the 90 minutes on a hot sunny day. Would highly recommended this excursion.

We were in Ft. Lauderdale for a true R&R vacation, but are so happy we decided to do this tour. I highly recommend this to all those looking to get a glimpse of the beautiful homes/mansions and explore the waterways and ports with the cruise ships and yachts. Narrator was terrific and his humor on point! Perfect amount of time out for this cruise. Boat was spotless and you have lots of options to sit inside, outside covered or not. Easy to get to as well. If you are visiting the area, be sure and take advantage of this fun and reasonably priced tour.

Crew was nice and knowledgeable. I live here, and it is a must do when I have visitors. Of course, it helps when we went on a day when the weather was perfect!
