If you\u2019ve never seen Fort Lauderdale from the water, you\u2019re missing something really special. The Intracoastal Waterway, the new river, the canals, they\u2019re all part of what makes the city the Venice of America. The Water Taxi\u2019s offering up a chance to set sail on a voyage that will lift up your spirits as the sun goes down.<\/p>\n
The crew of the Love Boat sailed into the distance a long time ago. Now, the water taxi\u2019s got something exciting and new: the Sunset Music Cruise.<\/p>\n
Greg Farley: \u201cIt\u2019s an elevated experience to get not only the locals here in greater Fort Lauderdale but all of our visitors to the area out on the water and really experience Fort Lauderdale the way it\u2019s meant to be seen from the water.\u201d<\/p>\n
The trip starts at a long-time Lauderdale go-to spot.<\/p>\n
Greg Farley: \u201cWe\u2019ve partnered with Shooters Waterfront, so all of our guests will get to experience a VIP happy hour at Shooters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Your happiness continues as you come aboard.<\/p>\n
A tequila sunset cocktail is waiting for you, and there\u2019s loads of space for all you would-be sailors.<\/p>\n
Greg Farley: \u201cThis boat here, this vessel, the island expedition can hold 200 passengers for these Sunset Music Cruises, they\u2019re capped off at 100 passengers, so everybody\u2019s gonna have plenty of room to dance and mingle and do a little networking too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, you\u2019ll dance, that\u2019s what the music\u2019s for.<\/p>\n
With the sun slowly sinking in the west and the captain\u2019s sturdy hand upon the wheel, you shove off and travel down the Intracoastal.<\/p>\n
On this cruise, it\u2019s first class all the way.<\/p>\n
Greg Farley: \u201cThis is part of water taxi\u2019s signature cruise series. Now you can come out for that elevated, dedicated service of an hour-and-a-half cruise with some specialty amenities on board.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those amenities will go down real easy.<\/p>\n
Greg Farley: \u201cSo we\u2019ve got a full bar on board our island boat service of vessels, so anything from a cold bottle of water to a custom cocktail on board.\u201d <\/p>\n
After you\u2019ve checked out the million-dollar homes and been amazed by a beautiful sunset, your time on the water is done.<\/p>\n
Greg Farley: \u201cJust enough breeze to remind us that getting stuck in traffic on the water is always better than getting stuck in traffic on land, even on A1A.\u201d <\/p>\n
The sunset water cruise sets sail only on Fridays.<\/p>\n
