Set sail on the shimmering intercoastal waterways of Fort Lauderdale aboard the 24-foot Pineapple Express, a spacious pontoon boat designed to deliver an easygoing, social boating experience. Fort Lauderdale, Florida, affectionately known as the “Venice of America” due to its extensive canal system, presents the perfect backdrop for a relaxed day on the water with friends, family, or your canine companion under 40 pounds.
The Pineapple Express accommodates up to 12 passengers, making it an ideal choice for groups seeking comfort and conviviality without the hassle of large crowds. The boat features plush seating arranged for easy conversation, a Bluetooth radio to set your own soundtrack, and a cooler filled with ice available by request to keep refreshments chilled under the South Florida sun. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply unwinding, cruising these calm, scenic waterways leaves you immersed in lush waterfront homes, sailboats gliding past, and glimpses of local wildlife like herons and dolphins.
Unlike high-speed vessels or fishing boats, the Pineapple Express is reserved for leisure cruising strictly within the protected intercoastal zone — no ocean crossings here — which means calmer waters perfect for first-time boaters or those looking to relax without the swell. One small dog is welcome on board, so you don’t have to leave your furry friend behind.
