Private Boat Charters in Fort Lauderdale for Couples & Groups

Sometimes you don’t want to share the boat. A private charter gives you the whole vessel — just you and your group, the Fort Lauderdale skyline, and the sunset — for an anniversary, a proposal, a birthday, or simply a special evening on the water. Here’s what a private sunset cruise in Fort Lauderdale includes and how to book one.

Why book a private cruise?

A shared cruise is great value, but a private charter buys you something different: exclusivity and flexibility. It’s just your people on board, so you set the mood — quiet and romantic, or a celebration with your group. No strangers, no fixed seating, no compromises.

Perfect occasions for a private charter

  • Anniversaries and date nights — a private sunset is hard to beat.
  • Proposals — the skyline and golden light make an unforgettable backdrop.
  • Birthdays and celebrations — bring your group and make it yours.
  • Special visits — treat out-of-town guests to Fort Lauderdale from the water.

What’s included

The Sunset Serenity private cruise gives you the boat for the evening, cruising the Intracoastal and past Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront mansions and yachts as the sun sets. Confirm capacity, timing, and any add-ons (drinks, décor) when you book.

Is a private cruise worth it?

For a milestone occasion, absolutely — and split across a small group, the $370 flat rate can be very reasonable per person. If you’re just two and want a relaxed sail, the shared Luxury Champagne Sunset Cruise ($49 each) is the budget-friendly alternative.

What to bring

  • A light layer for after sunset.
  • Your camera — you’ll want the skyline shots.
  • Any special touches you’ve arranged (ask about bringing flowers, champagne, or décor).

Book your private evening on the water

Private charters have limited evening slots, so reserve early — especially around holidays and weekends.
