Types of Anniversary Cruises in Fort Lauderdale
Every couple celebrates differently. Tell us what you have in mind and we match you with the right yacht, route, and timing for your anniversary.
Most Popular
Sunset Champagne Cruise
Depart in the late afternoon and cruise the Las Olas Isles and the New River as the sun drops over Fort Lauderdale. A champagne toast at golden hour is the most-requested anniversary moment we arrange. Departure timing is planned around sunset so the light is at its best.
Romantic
Private Dinner on the Water
A private chef prepares a custom dinner on board while you cruise past the waterfront mansions of Millionaire's Row and the Las Olas Isles. The menu is tailored to your preferences in advance. The yacht is set with flowers and candles before you arrive. See our Fort Lauderdale dinner cruise.
Relaxed
Daytime Reef and Intracoastal Charter
Anchor off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea for the afternoon, where a living reef sits within yards of the beach. Swim in clear Atlantic water, enjoy the open Intracoastal, and spend the day away from the city in your own private space. Add a private chef and champagne for a complete celebration on the water.
Full Day
Full Anniversary Day on the Water
An 8-hour charter that combines a morning reef stop, private chef lunch on deck, a Las Olas Isles canal tour, and a sunset cruise on the Intracoastal. Built for couples who want the full day on the water as the centerpiece of their anniversary celebration.
Special
Surprise Anniversary Charter
Tell us the plan and we coordinate everything without your partner knowing. The yacht is decorated and champagne is chilled on board, and the crew is briefed in advance. Your partner boards with no idea what is waiting. We manage every detail so the surprise lands perfectly.
Overnight
Overnight Anniversary Charter
Stay on board overnight at anchor or at a marina and wake up to the Intracoastal from the water. Available on select vessels with full sleeping accommodations, a private chef for dinner and breakfast, and crew on board for the entire stay. See our overnight charter options.
MILESTONE CELEBRATIONS
Anniversary Yacht Cruises for Every Milestone
Whether it is your first year or your fiftieth, planning a surprise or a fully arranged dinner on the water, a private anniversary yacht cruise gives the occasion the setting it deserves.
1st Anniversary
Your first year deserves more than dinner at a restaurant. A private yacht on the Intracoastal with champagne and a sunset cruise is the kind of 1st anniversary that sets the tone for every one that follows.
5th Anniversary
Five years calls for something genuinely memorable. A 5th anniversary yacht cruise in Fort Lauderdale with a private chef, a custom dinner on the water, and the Las Olas Isles as the backdrop is the celebration the occasion deserves.
10th Anniversary
A decade together deserves the full charter experience. A 10th anniversary yacht rental in Fort Lauderdale gives you a private space, a full day or evening on the water, and all the details arranged in advance so you focus entirely on each other.
25th Silver Anniversary
A silver anniversary is a milestone very few couples reach. A private yacht charter on the open water, fully catered and decorated to match the occasion, is how you mark 25 years with the attention it deserves.
50th Golden Anniversary
For a golden anniversary, we arrange a fully catered charter with flowers, gold accents, and decorations, a private chef, and everything set up before you board. The crew is briefed on every detail so the experience is perfect from arrival to departure.
Surprise Anniversary
You handle the invitation. We handle everything else. The decorations, champagne, crew briefing, and route are all arranged in advance. When your partner steps on board, the yacht is already set and ready. You get the reaction, not the logistics.

HOW TO PLAN
How to Plan an Anniversary Cruise in Fort Lauderdale

Tell us your anniversary date, how many guests, and the kind of celebration you are picturing: a sunset champagne cruise, a private dinner on the water, or a full day at the reef. We match you with the right yacht and confirm availability in Fort Lauderdale within hours.
02
Pick Your Yacht and Charter Duration
We send you a shortlist of yachts that fit your plans and budget. Most anniversary charters run 4 hours for a sunset cruise. For a full celebration with a private chef and a reef stop, 6 to 8 hours gives you the complete day on the water.

04
Confirm with a Deposit
Secure your charter with an online payment. We send a clear confirmation with your boarding time, marina address, and everything that is included, so there are no surprises on the day.
05
Arrive 15 Minutes Before Departure
We meet you at the dock at Bahia Mar, Las Olas Marina, or your selected Fort Lauderdale marina. The yacht is fueled, the captain and crew are on board, and everything you arranged is already set up before you step on deck.
06
Board and Celebrate
You and your partner board, the captain explains the route, and the charter begins. The crew handles everything from departure to return. All you have to do is enjoy the moment together.
ROUTES
Fort Lauderdale Anniversary Routes: Las Olas Isles, New River & Beyond
Your captain knows these waters and will recommend the most romantic route for your evening. Whether you want a canal tour through the Las Olas Isles, a sunset cruise along the New River, or a reef stop at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, tell us what you have in mind.
Select a destination to see where it is
Las Olas Isles
Half / Full dayFort Lauderdale's Venice of America, a grid of finger islands lined with waterfront mansions and mega-yacht docks. The Las Olas Isles canal tour is the defining anniversary route, a slow romantic cruise past estate homes just minutes from the beach marinas.
Fort Lauderdale's historic waterway winding through downtown, past the Riverwalk, waterfront restaurants, and a series of drawbridges framed by the skyline. One of the most atmospheric segments for a sunset anniversary cruise.
A calm, shallow anchorage off the beach above a living coral reef that comes within yards of the shore. Ideal for a relaxed anniversary swim stop, with clear water and one of the few reef systems in Florida accessible directly from an anchored yacht.
The stretch of the Intracoastal lined with Fort Lauderdale's most extravagant waterfront estates and the mega-yachts docked behind them. A cruise along Millionaire's Row is a romantic, photogenic highlight of any anniversary charter.
The scenic ocean inlet north of Fort Lauderdale, marked by the historic Hillsboro Lighthouse. A peaceful anchor and swim stop on full-day anniversary charters, with clear Atlantic water and the Pompano and Deerfield beach coastline.
Cruise past the downtown skyline and under the bridges of the New River from the water. Best at sunset when the city lights start to come on, a striking backdrop for an evening anniversary toast.
