42ft Yacht with Captain, Fuel, Ice, Bottled Water, Beverages, Included!
We absolutely loved our day on the water with Captain Curt. He was a great communicator leading up to the voyage and all day long, his boat was pristine and incredibly comfortable for my family of 11, we felt very safe especially with 3 little kids on board, and he was generous with his time. We will absolutely be booking with Curt again.

This was one of the best experiences we have had on a boat. Showed up on time at an easy pickup location. Boat was exactly like the pictures on the website. Everything, including washrooms were very clean. I would definitely recommend Curt and his boat to anyone looking for a fun day on the water .

On Saturday, my guest and I had a great time thanks to the exceptional service provided by Captain Curt. Our four-hour cruise through the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal with my out-of-town friends was simply unforgettable. The boat was spotless, comfortable, and well-stocked with refreshments and supplies. Captain Curt was not only professional and accommodating but also a fantastic storyteller — his knowledge of the area’s history made the experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly, and we all agreed it was the highlight of our weekend. I’m already looking forward to planning another trip aboard your boat soon. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing way to see Fort Lauderdale from the water! Tony

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment I reached out to Captain Curt, he replied almost instantly and made us feel comfortable right away. The boat was a beauty—spotless inside and out, and you can tell he takes great pride in maintaining it. The clear blue water was absolutely stunning, and hanging out on the platform just made everything feel perfect. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, and we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Florida!

We went out for a 70th Birthday for my parents. Curt was very accommodating and knowledgeable about all things boating. He also shared some local history. The boat was large enough for everyone to spread out. This was the highlight of my parents vacation to Florida. We will definitely book this charter again.
