Select participants and date
The Sea Rocket eases off C-Dock at Bahia Mar with a staccato of wake and music. Wind cuts across the water and the city blooms outward: low-slung Art Deco facades hand off to glass towers, then to a parade of hedged mansions and megayachts that loom like private islands. Crew narration picks up—names of neighborhoods, who owns which palazzo—while the boat leans into a faster rhythm and the Intracoastal Waterway pulls you forward like a current with purpose.

Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Best Seating
Check in at least 20 minutes before departure at Bahia Mar C-Dock to claim forward or midship seats for steady views and less spray.
Sun Protection Is Crucial
Bring SPF 30+ sunscreen and polarized sunglasses—sun reflects strongly off water, even in the evening.
Bring a Light Layer
Coastal breeze can feel cool once the sun sets; a windbreaker or hoodie keeps you comfortable during the ride.
Motion-Sickness Precautions
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand or sit midship where motion is minimized.

History
The Intracoastal Waterway transformed Fort Lauderdale from a coastal settlement into a boating hub; many waterfront estates date to early 20th-century development booms.
Conservation
Keep distance from wildlife, avoid feeding animals, and dispose of trash properly—coastal ecosystems here are sensitive to pollution and boat wake.
