The boat

Explore Fort Lauderdale in comfort and style aboard a sleek Axopar 37 XC—enclosed helm for instant shade, easy bow and stern lounging, and a smooth ride that feels more premium than its size suggests. It's a relaxed, versatile platform for celebrations, romantic cruises, or client hosting without the big-yacht production.

The Axopar isn't trying to be a yacht—it's something better for certain trips. Think of it as the luxury SUV of boats: comfortable, capable, stylish, and without any unnecessary complexity. You get the important stuff (shade, sound, swim access) without paying for amenities you won't use on a 3-hour cruise. For couples, small groups, or anyone who values experience over square footage, this boat simply makes sense.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

✔️Professional USCG-licensed captain + fuel for all standard routes
✔️Cooler stocked with bottled water
✔️Bluetooth sound system (cabin & deck zones)
✔️Bow + stern sunpads for tanning or relaxed lounging
✔️Enclosed helm/cabin providing instant shade and weather protection
✔️Available Floating mat for sandbar swimming and relaxation
✔️All required safety equipment & life jackets
✔️Storage for personal items and provisions

WHERE WE CRUISE

🏙️New River & Riverwalk – Palm-lined bends, classic drawbridges, downtown angles you don't see from land. The Axopar's nimble handling lets us explore tighter canals and get closer to points of interest.
🌴Las Olas Isles / Millionaires' Row – Estate-lined canals with nonstop yacht-spotting. Architecture ranges from Old Florida classics to ultra-modern statements, often sitting directly across from each other.
🛥️Bahia Mar & beachside marinas – Postcard-perfect docks with Atlantic vibes. Great spot for a quick dock stop if you want to stretch legs or grab something from shore.
🌉17th Street Causeway – Sweeping bridge views toward the port and inlet. Watch drawbridges lift, cruise ships pass, and the constant maritime activity.
🌅Lake Sylvia / Sunrise Bay – Protected anchorages for a calm float and swim. The Axopar's shallow draft gets us into spots larger boats can't access (conditions permitting).

TRIP OPTIONS

2-3 Hour Experience – Quick escape or sunset cruise
Condensed highlights tour through New River and Las Olas Isles with captain narration. Perfect for visitors on tight schedules, sunset timing, or anyone who wants a taste of the water without committing a full afternoon.

4-Hour Experience – The relaxed exploration option
Extended tour with up to 75 minutes at anchor. Add optional snorkel gear if you're feeling adventurous. Some guests bring lunch and make this a proper midday escape.
