After getting lucky with prior cruise purchases to Alcatraz, once I had plans to go to Fort Lauderdale I wanted to be sure to have a cruise purchased and planned ahead of time. We found with our letter from the Fort Lauderdale chamber of commerce that you could get two tickets for carrie b cruises for the price of one!!... more

Took the 11 am tour on the Carrie B. The skipper and "story teller " was Seaton. I say story teller, because he had great stories about the houses along the tour, as well as the boats. He was articulate and provided a good sense of both the history and current status of life in Fort Lauderdale. Upon boarding, someone... more

Just got back from a wonderful weekend in Fort Lauderdale. We decided to take the Carrie B Cruise since it was ranked so highly on TripAdivsor. I thought it was just okay. The captain was very knowledgeable but it was at times hard to hear him over the loud crowd on the top deck. The boat itself was just okay-... more

This was a fantastic tour. The captain / tour guide was very knowledgeable. Great views of millionaires row, intracoastal waterway, the port, etc. We took a Friday tour and found a coupon in Friday's Sun Sentinel newspaper for 'buy one, get one free'. Greal deal! more

Tour takes you through river of rich houses, Intracoastal Waterway, and Ft. Lauderdale harbor. Tour guide is knowledgable in a clever way, telling stories of owners, properties, users of all the rich houses you pass and the giant cruise ships in Port Everglades harbor. He throws in irreverent comments about other ships/yachts making boating etiquette mistakes. 90 min goes by... more

We boarded the Carrie B for a 3pm. cruise. There weren't many other people on board. I don't know what is normal, but it seemed like a light day for them. This was one of the best experiences we've had in Fort Lauderdale. The captain, who was the tour guide, was terrific. He was very knowledgeable and quite funny as... more

Great Tour

The tour was time spent well. I got see Fort Lauderdale from the waterway. This is my first seeing it that way after 25 years of living in Fort Lauderdale. The information provided by the tour guide was extensive and engaging. I do recommend others to take this tour whither there are a resident or a traveler. more

My wife and I really enjoyed our time on board the Carrie B. A few years back we decided to take a cruise on the New River on anohter boat and were very disapponted. The Carrie B was awesome and we would recommend it to anyone wanting to see the sights on the New River. more

My grandfather, parents, brother, uncle and aunts all took this trip. We spent a great hour and a half getting a tour of all of the millionaire waterfront mansions and properties with an excellent tour guide (boat captain) named Seaton. The guide made the trip really exciting with all of his knowledge about the homes, the famous people who had... more
