Boarding was smooth, with the only extra step being the new 2025 requirement of obtaining a free pass through a government website. The cruise lasted five hours and included two full hours at the stunning Blue Lagoon on Comino. The water was warm, crystal clear, and perfect for a refreshing swim.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 56 reviews · from $38

Spend about two hours on Fort Lauderdale’s evening water taxi, choosing from stops near Las Olas, the beach, Stranahan House, restaurants, Galleria Mall, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. Live commentary adds local color, while the flexible pass lets you ride, stop for dinner, and continue by boat.

“My husband had never been on a boat ride so this was a fun experience for us, it was a cloudy day so we could not enjoy sunset scenery but the entire ride is very enjoyable, there are 10 stops you can hop on and hop off to and each stop has something to see. We hopped off to see the mall. The next taxi boat came with 45 mins. I would definitely recommend to those who are on budget”
