I would definitely recommend taking a tour. Very reasonably priced. Air conditioned inside with a snack bar and restrooms. Best viewed up on top deck. Great narrative of the area and you get to see all the ships docked at the largest Naval base.

Recently took tour and had a nice time.. Our five year old grandaughter went along, it was a challenge to keep her entertained.

Relaxing, informative and fun filled 1 1/2 hour tour of Fort Lauderdale ‘s luxurious homes and waterways. Cash bar with snacks. Bring sunblock since you’re in the sun for almost 2 hours unless you choose to remain on the enclosed lower deck. Ample seating with awesome photo opportunities. Great ship crew. Even a jaded “local” can find something to enjoy on this entertaining harbor cruise.

We rented this boat for a party for people coming from out of town for our daughter's wedding. The boat ride was impressive and smooth. Dinner was served inside on the first deck. We used their recommended caterer and they did a great job. We hired a musician who sang and linked into the PA system. Bathroom facilities were clean. Views of the shipyard and Norfolk were impressive. This was a perfect start to wedding weekend.

Desoite the cold and windy weather, it was our 5th but best harbor cruise ever. The Narrator knew every freighter, warship, repair dock etc and explained it so colorful - you just did not want the cruise to end.
