Good to take out of town relatives

I live in Fort Lauderdale, but try and take visiting relatives on a boat tour whenever they first come visit. While the trip is a bit pricy, the snacks are WAY expensive, and the captain is about as cheesy as you can get, it's still a great time. The homes and waterways are beautiful, and if you get a moderately sunny day with a good breeze, you're golden. Everyone had a good time, and it let them see the city from a different angle. It's not an every day activity, but for special occasions and out of town visitors, I recommend the Venice of America Tour.

Speaker

Speaker on tour boat was knowledgable about the area. He seemed to dislike how the boats (yachts) are bought out of state and PAY NO SALES TAX!!! We were reminded of that over and over again during the tour.

It was a really nice evening trip to see the Christmas lites. The only draw back was a loud group that was on board who talked so loud you couldnt hear the Capt.

Had we known the water taxi was showing the same areas, houses, stories etc. we would not have spent the money on the Venice tour. However, the boat was great and comfortable b/c it was such a windy day. When we purchased the trip, it was advertising a free drink. However, they told us that they quit offering that several weeks ago.

Very nice sunset tour of the local water ways

Perfectly paced calm tour of the local waterways and beautiful homes. Colorful tour guide with interesting points of interest and stories to go with them. Missed the complimentary drinks and libations included in July tour. Sunset was gorgeous from the boat.

The "Speaker" was great! Very enthusiastic, funny, and educated on the homes we saw. It is very interesting to see all these beautiful homes with no one around to enjoy them. LOL Definitely would recommend.

Very peaceful and enjoyable!

We had a great time on our 5:00 cruise. The captain was very knowledgeable of the area and funny. My only suggestion would be to have a better selection of snacks, like perhaps a cheese and cracker platter to go with the wine??

Fun Trip!

We had a great trip on the water seeing all the expensive homes. Our only problem was, two in our group are hard of hearing and they had trouble understanding the commentary. They still enjoyed the scener though.
