Party Boat Rental in Fort Lauderdale — Private, Captained, BYOB
A party boat rental in Fort Lauderdale is a private, captained boat built for a group rather than a cabin: open deck, shade, a sound system, a swim platform and room for up to twelve or thirteen, from about $850 for three hours on the Intracoastal, the sandbar and Lake Sylvia, with your own drinks on board.

What a party boat is in Fort Lauderdale
A boat chosen for the deck, not the cabin: pontoons and deck boats under 30 feet for six, party catamarans and open sportfishers up to 45 feet for twelve or thirteen, and the bigger yachts when the group is larger. Every one is captained, so nobody in the group needs a licence and nobody has to stay sober to drive.
Where a Fort Lauderdale party boat goes
The sandbar
Anchored in waist-deep water with the mat out, which is where most groups spend the middle of the day; the Fort Lauderdale sandbar page has the tides and the rules.
Lake Sylvia
The deeper anchorage off the Las Olas Isles where boats raft up on a weekend afternoon.
The Intracoastal
Past the houses and the megayachts between stops, at no-wake speed with the music on.
A restaurant dock
Shooters, Coconuts or 15th Street Fisheries for an hour ashore; the dock-and-dine page lists the docks.
Party boat rental cost in Fort Lauderdale
Three hours from about $850 on a boat under 40 feet and $1,050 at 40 to 54 feet; four hours from about $1,150 and $1,400; a full day from about $2,200. Captain and fuel are added at checkout and the boat balance is paid at the dock. Split twelve ways, a four-hour boat is under $120 a head before the drinks you bring.

BYOB, food and add-ons
Bring your own drinks, decanted from glass; ice, water and the cooler are on board. A bartender, catering, a DJ, a floating mat and jet skis are added at checkout, and the Fort Lauderdale events hub has the occasion pages for birthdays, bachelorettes and the rest.

Fort Lauderdale party boat questions
How many people fit on a party boat?
Six on the smallest, twelve or thirteen on most, and more on the yachts certified for it; the number is the boat’s certificate, not a guess.
Is it BYOB?
Yes, on every boat. Glass is decanted, and a bartender can be added if you would rather not pour.
Can we play our own music?
Yes, over the boat’s Bluetooth system; a DJ can be added for the bigger boats.
Do we need a licence or a sober driver?
No. The captain drives; the group is the party.
What is the difference between a party boat and a yacht party?
The boat. A party boat is an open deck for a day on the water; a yacht party is a cabin yacht for an evening event. The Fort Lauderdale events hub has both.
