Millionaire’s Row

• A stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway showcasing lavish waterfront mansions and mega-yachts, home to some of the wealthiest residents and celebrities. The estates create a stunning backdrop as the sun sets before fireworks.

Port Everglades

• One of the busiest cruise ports in the world, featuring massive cruise ships and maritime activity. Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line ships provide an impressive sight as you cruise through the inlet to the Atlantic.

Fort Lauderdale Beach & Atlantic Ocean

• Your prime fireworks viewing location! The calm offshore waters provide unobstructed 360-degree views of the fireworks exploding over Fort Lauderdale Beach and skyline, with beautiful reflections on the water.

Las Olas Boulevard & Downtown Skyline

• Visible from the Intracoastal Waterway, the vibrant downtown hub and glowing skyline create a stunning evening backdrop before and after the fireworks show.

Bahia Mar Marina

• A historic marina and yachting center along the Intracoastal Waterway, famous for hosting the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. This is our home port and your departure point for the celebration!

The full experience lasts about 2 hours from departure, including sightseeing along the Intracoastal Waterway, cruising into the Atlantic Ocean, offshore anchoring for fireworks viewing (approximately 8:45 PM), and the return journey. Boarding begins 20-25 minutes before departure, so plan for about 2.5 hours total including check-in.

We prioritize your safety and enjoyment. If the ocean is too rough or windy, the cruise will anchor in the Intracoastal Waterway or New River where you’ll still have excellent fireworks views. In case of severe weather or if the city cancels the fireworks display, guests with trip protection are eligible for refunds, while others can reschedule or receive credit valid indefinitely.

Absolutely! It’s family-friendly for all ages and perfect for celebrating Independence Day together. Kids under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and we provide life jackets for little ones. The combination of sightseeing, patriotic music, and the spectacular fireworks show keeps everyone engaged.

We recommend comfortable patriotic-themed clothing if you’d like to dress festively, a camera or phone for fireworks photos, cash or card for drinks, snacks, photos, and crew tips, and a valid ID if you’re 21+ and want to purchase alcohol from our full bar.

Your adventure starts at Bahia Mar Resort & Marina, located at 801 Seabreeze Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316. Head to C Dock (just west of Marina Village). Look for the red, white, and blue flags flying on the pier and our huge American flag boat with patriotic decorations. Plenty of paid parking is available onsite (about $10). Arrive 30-45 minutes early to check in, sign waivers, and board smoothly for this popular holiday event!
