4th Of July Fireworks Cruise On The Sea Rocket

Where do we meet for the cruise?

Your adventure starts at Bahia Mar Resort & Marina, located at 801 Seabreeze Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316. Head to C Dock (just west of Marina Village)—look for the red, white, and blue flags flying on the pier and our huge American flag boat. Plenty of paid parking is available onsite (about $10). Arrive 30 minutes early to check in, sign waivers, and board smoothly.

How long is the cruise?

The full experience lasts about two hours from departure, including narrated sightseeing along the Intracoastal Waterway, an ocean inlet cruise, and prime fireworks viewing. Boarding begins 20-25 minutes before departure, so plan for about two and a half hours total including check-in.

Is the cruise suitable for kids and families?

Absolutely—it's family-friendly for all ages! Kids under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and we'll provide life jackets for little ones. The relaxed pace, upbeat music, and educational narration about local wildlife and history keep everyone engaged without overwhelming excitement. Families love spotting dolphins or manatees—it's a hit for multi-generational groups.

Are there seating options, and how are seats assigned?

Yes! Seats within each zone are first-come, first-served, so arrive early for your preferred spot. The boat holds up to 130 guests, ensuring plenty of space to spread out.

What's included in the ticket price?

Your ticket covers prime fireworks viewing, professional crew, entertainment, and insightful commentary on Fort Lauderdale's landmarks like Millionaires' Row and Port Everglades. It's a complete sightseeing experience—no hidden fees for the core adventure.

What can I buy onboard?

Indulge in our full-service bar with craft cocktails, beers, wines, sodas, and non-alcoholic options at happy-hour prices (cash, card, Apple Pay accepted). Light snacks like chips and candy are also available. No outside food or drinks allowed to keep things clean and compliant. Professional photos & photo packages, including a 6x8 group shot and a digital package, can be purchased as you disembark for a fun keepsake.

What's the cancellation policy?

All sales are final unless trip protection is purchased. Trip protection allows for a refund of ticket costs if the trip is canceled due to weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. Those who opt out of trip protection may reschedule, or receive a credit to use at a future date.

Do I need to bring anything special?

Pack light: Valid ID (for alcohol purchases if 21+), a light jacket for cooler evenings, and comfortable shoes. Cameras or phones are great for photos, but secure them against splashes. No need for reservations beyond your ticket—everything's set for a seamless sail.
