Rent a Sea Ray Sundeck from a private downtown Fort Lauderdale dock. Minutes to the Sandbar, Las Olas and the Intracoastal. Free parking. Book online today.
Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, must hold a valid Florida Boating Safety Education Identification Card (or complete an approved temporary boater certificate) alongside a government-issued photo ID. If you were born before 1988, no boater card is legally required, though basic prior powerboat handling experience is strongly recommended.
Our primary departure point is a private, deepwater riverfront dock along the Tarpon River and New River corridor in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, featuring reserved on-site parking. From our dock, the Fort Lauderdale Sandbar is less than 15 minutes away, giving you immediate, seamless access to the Intracoastal Waterway so you can anchor and swim without burning rental hours in transit. Custom pickup and drop-off locations are also available upon request (including private residential docks, waterfront venues, and marinas) for a delivery fee based on running distance.
Yes. Our dock is a short cruise along the New River from the Riverwalk and Las Olas. You can easily dock-and-dine at waterfront restaurants, bars, and clubs (such as Rivertail, Boathouse, or 15th Street Fisheries), making our boat rentals perfect for day parties, dinner cruises, and waterfront nightlife.
Every rental includes all required USCG safety equipment (life jackets, flares, throw cushion, sound devices), marine GPS navigation, Bluetooth sound system, Bimini sunshade, anchor, lines, and fenders. Premium add-ons like floating swim mats can be selected during checkout.
Boats depart the dock topped off with a full tank of marine fuel. Renters are responsible for the fuel consumed during the charter, which is calculated and settled directly upon return based on engine hours or local pump rates.
Yes! We are proud to be a pet-friendly boat rental service. We welcome dogs on board for a flat $50 pet fee, which covers the specialized post-trip cleaning, vacuuming, and vinyl sanitization required to keep our deck pristine for the next guests. Guests are responsible for bringing a canine life vest and supervising their pet at all times to prevent damage to upholstery.
Children of all ages are welcome on board and count toward the vessel’s total Coast Guard capacity. Under Florida law, any child under the age of six must wear an approved Type I, II, or III US Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times while the vessel is underway. We provide child-sized life jackets upon advance request during booking.
Your safety on the water is our top priority. If severe weather conditions—such as active lightning, sustained heavy squalls, or small craft advisories—occur during your scheduled departure window, we provide hassle-free rescheduling or a full reservation credit. Typical overcast skies or brief, passing South Florida sunshowers do not qualify for weather cancellations.
Yes. If you want to relax with your group without operating the helm, you can charter the boat as a bareboat rental and hire an independent, USCG-licensed captain. We can provide a list of approved, certified local captains whom you can hire directly for your charter.
Cancellations made 7 or more days before your scheduled departure receive a full refund, less a 5% processing fee. Cancellations made 3–6 days out are eligible for a 50% refund or full credit toward a future booking. Cancellations made less than 3 days (72 hours) before departure, along with no-shows, are non-refundable and non-transferable. A 30–50% deposit is required at booking to confirm your reservation, with the balance due at check-in. Cancellation terms are separate from weather-related cancellations — see 'What happens if there is bad weather on the day of my reservation?' above for our weather rescheduling and credit policy.
