Fort Lauderdale Eco Tours
& Family Boat Adventures
Not Everyone Has To Be A Hardcore Angler
If your group is a mix of anglers and non-anglers—or you just want a relaxing day on the water—our Fort Lauderdale eco tours and family boat adventures are a perfect fit. These trips slow things down and focus on the coastline, wildlife, waterways and sandbars that make South Florida special.
You still get a private boat, a local captain, and the flexibility to shape the day around what your group enjoys most.
Every trip is a bit different, but common options include:
Wildlife watching—look for dolphins, seabirds and other local marine life
Sandbar stops—relax, swim, and hang out in the shallows
Sightseeing along Fort Lauderdale’s waterways
Sunset cruises—finish the day watching the sun drop over the city and coast
Optional light-tackle fishing add-on if a few people still want to wet a line
Because these are private trips, you’re not locked into a fixed script. Tell Captain Matt what kind of experience you want and he’ll build the route and timing around it.
