Description

Paddle Pub Fort Lauderdale is a pedal-powered BYOB party boat cruising the Intracoastal with sandbar stops, Bluetooth music, and a crew known for humor and local knowledge. Best for groups celebrating or visitors wanting a unique on-the-water experience.

Overview

Paddle Pub Fort Lauderdale is a pedal-powered party boat that cruises the Intracoastal and New River out of Cox’s Landing Boat Ramp on SE 15th Street. Guests sit at pedal stations, stand along the rails, or lounge on cushions while the crew narrates stories about the waterfront mansions lining the route. The boat carries small ice coolers for your drinks – bring your own beverages and snacks – and hands over Bluetooth control of the speakers so your group picks the soundtrack. Most cruises include a sandbar stop where passengers hop off to swim and grab food or drinks from passing vendor boats. The crew is the real draw. Guests rave about captains and first mates who blend local knowledge with genuine humor, keeping energy high whether the boat holds a tight friend group or a mixed crowd of strangers. Staff are consistently praised for professionalism, safety awareness, and reading the room – dialing up the party or easing into a mellow narrated tour depending on what passengers want. The experience is explicitly LGBTQ-friendly and a welcoming transgender safespace, which guests confirm in practice. Bachelorette parties, birthday groups, holiday outings, and couples on vacation all book here, and the five-star rating across nearly 250 Google reviews reflects that range. Booking is by appointment, so reserve ahead – walk-ups are not an option. The launch point at Cox’s Landing sits near 15th Street Fisheries and the south end of the Lauderdale waterway scene, putting you in the middle of the action from the moment the boat pulls away from the ramp.
