This vibrant coastal city, known as the “Venice of America” for its extensive canal system, comes alive from the vantage point of Sea Rocket’s high-powered speed boats and parasail rigs. Whether lifted high above the ocean tethered to a colorful parachute or slicing along the waves aboard the Sea Rocket, guests encounter Fort Lauderdale’s coastline in an exhilarating way.

Sea Rocket’s fleet accommodates thrill-seekers and sightseers alike with a range of experiences: from ocean parasailing adventures that grant sweeping aerial views of pristine beaches and luxury yachts to sunset and nighttime cruises through the Intracoastal Waterway, where the city’s skyline lights shimmer over calm waters.

What sets Sea Rocket apart is its versatility and local focus. Private trips accommodate groups large and small, including party cruises and tailored parasailing adventures for those seeking a more intimate connection with the sea. The company’s knowledge of Fort Lauderdale’s marine and urban ecosystems enriches the experience—the gliding pelicans, dolphins, and the architecture of historic waterfront estates become points of interest that complement every journey.

It’s an ideal way to experience a city defined by its water, delivering an essential Floridian maritime adventure that remains accessible for first-timers and seasoned water-lovers alike.
