More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The first time the Sea Rocket pushes away from C Dock at Bahia Mar, the city recedes into a line of glass and palm trunks while the water opens like a moving mirror. For 75 minutes the boat stitches together two faces of Fort Lauderdale: a wide, wind-cut Atlantic horizon and the intimate channels of the Intracoastal and New River where high-rise reflections mingle with dockside palms. Guests lean over rails as a narrated route calls out billion-dollar homes, the daily ballet at Port Everglades, and the downtown skyline sliding toward gold.
