There’s something unforgettable about celebrating 4th of July in Fort Lauderdale, especially when you’re out on the intercoastal. While the city’s “I Love the 90s Tour” pumps out nostalgic hits from Rob Base, Tone Loc, Young MC, and Vanilla Ice, our fireworks cruise offers a peaceful, crowd-free escape — the perfect way to watch the show without the chaos.
Instead of jockeying for a spot at the beach or park, you'll sail along the scenic waterways, guided by our knowledgeable crew, until we find the perfect viewing location. The fireworks will light up the sky and reflect off the water below, creating a truly amazing backdrop set to the sounds of the music playing on deck and the cool coast breeze all around you.
Please note: while we aim to provide the best possible experience, the city’s fireworks display is beyond our control and may be impacted by weather or other circumstances.
July Fireworks Cruises for Every Guest
Our July fireworks cruises are designed for all ages and every kind of guest — whether you're a couple looking for a romantic evening, a group of friends ready to celebrate, or a visiting family wanting a unique way to watch the fireworks. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the 4th of July in Fort Lauderdale with comfort, style, and stunning intercoastal views.
No surprise fees, no cash bar — your reservation includes unlimited beer, wine, soft drinks, soda, and water. Just board, grab a drink, and let the skyline light up while you relax and enjoy the ride.
Tickets are just $59 per person. Children are welcome, but all passengers — regardless of age — require a paid seat. You're reserving a spot on the boat, not paying based on what you eat or drink. Everything is included upfront, so once you're on board, there’s nothing else to worry about except having fun.
Sunset Cruise Vibes
While not a traditional sunset cruise, you’ll still catch a breathtaking view of the sunset as we make our way through Lauderdale’s scenic intercoastal waterways. Florida’s sky transforms into a watercolor masterpiece as the sun dips behind the horizon — a perfect lead-up to the fireworks show.
Arrive early to grab a seat on the top deck, sip a cold drink, and take in the changing colors of the sky. As day turns to night, you’ll cruise past mega-mansions with glowing, well-lit backyards that shimmer against the water. The atmosphere shifts into something almost cinematic — a calm build-up before the sky bursts with color during the 4th of July fireworks display.
Don’t forget to bring your phone or camera — the views are stunning and totally worth capturing.
July Cruise: Celebrate the Holiday on a Boat
This July cruise isn’t just transportation — it’s a floating celebration. You’ll ride with a friendly, knowledgeable crew that ensures smooth sailing and plenty of fun from start to finish.
We encourage everyone to get into the patriotic spirit. Wear your red, white, and blue. Bring your energy and your best dance moves — this is a 4th of July party like no other.
Even better? This cruise ends early enough for you to walk back to the Las Olas celebration and watch the final moments of the live concert. Get the best of both worlds.
July Fireworks and Drinks Included
We know what makes a great night out: a beautiful boat, scenic water views, and refreshing drinks. That’s why your ticket includes unlimited wine, beer, soft drinks, and water — simple, classic, and all you need to enjoy the night. As a reminder, no light snacks are included or provided on this cruise.
While some celebrations might include champagne or hard seltzers, we’ve chosen to keep things easy and focused on our core offerings. There’s something for every guest aboard, and you won’t need to worry about drink tickets or tabs. We don’t offer a cash bar — once you board, your drinks are covered.
Because let’s face it — reaching into your pocket for every drink gets old fast. This is your time to relax, enjoy the fireworks, and make memories. If you’d like to tip the crew for their great service, feel free to bring a little cash — but otherwise, everything you need is already taken care of.
Sea Rocket and Other Experiences
Looking to explore more of Fort Lauderdale before the fireworks begin? There are other options in town you may enjoy — like the high-speed Sea Rocket, a popular thrill ride along the coast. While we don’t operate it ourselves or know all the details, it’s a fast-paced way to experience the water with some added excitement.
If you're looking for a more private experience on the intercoastal, we do offer private charters through Riverfront Cruises — great for birthdays, proposals, or small group outings. Reach out directly to inquire about availability and custom cruise options.
Celebrate Independence Day in Style
The 4th of July in FL doesn’t get much better than this: cool drinks, beautiful views, patriotic music, and the joy of being out on the water during the most festive night of summer.
Our boat departs from our Las Olas dock, and we encourage guests to arrive 15 minutes early to ensure smooth boarding. Our friendly crew will assist with seating and help you get settled before we set sail.
Don't forget to bring:
- A valid ID if you're drinking alcohol
- Comfortable festive attire
- Your party-ready spirit
- A camera to capture the fireworks magic
