The Sandbar is the Best Spot on the Intracoastal. We Know Exactly When to Be There.

Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal sandbar is one of those places that’s hard to describe until you’ve been there.

Calm, shallow water you can stand in. Other boats anchored up around you. The sun doing what it does in South Florida. Your crew floating, swimming, and doing absolutely nothing that requires effort.

South Florida Tiki brings you there on a private tiki boat built for up to 17 guests. Your captain knows these waterways and knows when the sandbar is at its best. You load the coolers, connect your playlist, and let the Intracoastal take care of the rest.

What Makes the Fort Lauderdale Sandbar Worth the Trip

It’s a Social Scene on the Water: On a good day the sandbar draws boats from all over Fort Lauderdale. Tiki boats, center consoles, cruisers all anchored up within earshot of each other. The atmosphere builds naturally. Your group stays on the boat or gets in the water, either way you’re in the middle of it.
The Water is Made for It: Shallow enough to stand, calm enough to float, warm enough that nobody hesitates to get in. The Intracoastal keeps the chop down and the conditions comfortable. This is not an offshore excursion. It’s genuinely relaxing.
The Backdrop Doesn’t Hurt: The sandbar sits surrounded by some of Fort Lauderdale’s most impressive waterfront real estate. Mansion docks, mega-yachts, the kind of scenery that makes every photo look like it was taken somewhere expensive. Because it was.

How the Day Goes

Leave the Dock: Board at 801 Seabreeze Blvd in Fort Lauderdale. Coolers loaded, music on, and you’re moving through the Intracoastal within minutes of arrival.
Cruise Out to the Sandbar: Your captain takes you through the waterways on the way out. There’s plenty to see before you even get there. Mega-yachts, waterfront estates, and the kind of scenery Fort Lauderdale built its reputation on.
Anchor Up and Settle In: The captain drops anchor at the sandbar and the rest is up to your group. Get in the water, stay on the boat, crack something cold, put the music up. No agenda. No schedule. The captain handles the boat so nobody in your group has to think about anything.
Head Back on Your Terms: When the group is ready, you’re ready. The captain brings you back through the Intracoastal with plenty of time to point out whatever you missed on the way out.

What Groups Are Saying

Questions We Hear a Lot

How far is the sandbar from the dock?

The sandbar is a short cruise from the departure point at 801 Seabreeze Blvd. Part of what makes the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal great is that the best spots are close. You’re not spending half your trip in transit.

Can we swim at the sandbar?

Yes. The water is shallow and calm, which is exactly what makes it a sandbar stop and not just an anchor spot. Guests swim and wade regularly. The captain will walk you through what to expect when you get there.

Do we need to bring our own drinks?

Yes. This is a BYOB experience. Bring whatever your group drinks. No glass containers. The boat has coolers onboard so bring ice to keep everything cold.

Can we customize the route?

Absolutely. The sandbar is the headline for this trip but your captain can work in a Millionaire’s Row pass, open water time, or whatever else the group wants. Tell us when you book.

How many people can come?

Up to 17 guests. The boat is fully private the entire time so it’s your group and no one else on board.

What if the weather is bad?

We go out rain or shine. In the rare case that weather makes it unsafe, we will reach out as soon as possible and offer to reschedule or issue a full refund.

Is gratuity included?

Gratuity is optional and always appreciated. 15 to 20 percent for the captain and crew is standard.

The Sandbar Fills Up. So Does the Calendar.

Fort Lauderdale’s peak season runs October through May and the good dates go fast.
