Private charters
Your boat, your crew, your call. Pick the route and the vibe, then let the captain drive.
See private chartersSix ways to get out on the water
Whole boat, up to nine of you, and a licensed captain at the wheel. You bring the cooler and the playlist — we’ll handle the driving.
Pick your route
Same boat, same captain, six different afternoons. All of them leave from the Santa Barbara Resort dock and all of them end before sunset.
Sandbar & swim
Drop anchor where the water turns glass clear and the day slows right down. Swim, float, repeat.
See sandbar trips
Sightseeing
Waterfront mansions, mega yachts and the downtown skyline. Bring the camera, we’ll bring the local stories.

Party & BYOB
Pack the cooler, turn up the playlist and let the afternoon run long. Sunset, sandbar or a little of both.
See party cruises
Waterfront bar hopping
Hop from dock to dock and let the captain worry about the driving. Shooters, Bokamper’s, Kaluz and more.

Celebrations
Birthdays, bachelorettes, engagements and big news of every kind. Tell us the occasion and we’ll help throw the party.

None of this is an add-on. It’s the boat, and it’s the same boat whichever route you pick.
A licensed captain
USCG licensed, on every single trip. You’re not driving, so no boater test — just turn up and enjoy it.
Room for nine
Whole boat, priced per boat rather than per head. Bring the whole group and split it between you.
A stocked cooler
Cooler on board and ice in it. Bring your own drinks and food — no corkage, no restrictions on what you pack.
Bluetooth on board
Pair your phone and run the playlist. The captain has heard worse than whatever you’re planning.
Intracoastal only
Flat water, no ocean swell, so nobody spends the afternoon regretting lunch. Good for mixed groups and kids.
Back before sunset
Every trip is timed to finish in daylight. No night cruising, no navigating in the dark on the way home.
What it costs
Priced per boat, not per person. Nine of you on one charter works out considerably cheaper each than nine separate rentals.
Starting at $350 / 2 Hrs
(including captain)Whole boat, up to nine guests. That’s about $39 a person with a full group.
- Taxes and gratuity aren’t included. Gratuity for the captain is customary but never expected.
- The eight-hour Lake Boca trip adds a $100 fuel surcharge — it’s the longest run we do.
- Charters range from $350 to $1,500, depending on which route and how long you’re out.
Splitting it?
Nine guests on one charter is the cheapest way to get a group on the water. Bring nine and the per-person number drops sharply.
Group bookings if you’re organising something bigger than one boat.
Membership
Club members get preferential rates on charters too, not just beach gear. See what it costs — it pays off on a single full-boat booking.
Before you board
Three things, and the first one is the only one people get wrong.
-
Arrive 15 minutes early
The captain needs that time to brief the boat and get everyone aboard. Late arrivals can lose the slot — the boat has a schedule after yours.
-
Sign the waiver
One per person, passengers included. No boater test — the captain is driving. Do it online before you arrive and check-in takes a minute.
-
Bring your own everything
Drinks, food, sunscreen, towels. The cooler and ice are on board. Glass isn’t banned outright, but cans and plastic travel better on a boat.
The rules, plainly
Two things worth reading before you pay. They’re different from the beach rental rules, so don’t assume.
On board
Cancelling
Cancel 48 or more hours before departure for a full refund. Inside 48 hours and no-shows are non-refundable. Weather cancellations are the captain's call and are rescheduled or refunded.This is the pontoon policy specifically. Beach rentals work differently — those carry no rain check and no refund at all.
If conditions look doubtful on the day, call 954-973-7000 before you set off and we’ll tell you straight. Requirements and policies can change, so confirm with our team if you’re unsure what applies to your booking.
Where to meet
The Santa Barbara Resort dock — not our beach rental address. They’re a few blocks apart, so worth checking before you set off.
Santa Barbara Resort
1308 S Ocean Blvd
Pompano Beach, FL 33062
Pompano Beach, FL 33062
Park at the resort. If you’re coming by rideshare, give the driver this address and not 1110 S Ocean Blvd — that’s where the beach rentals are, and it’s the wrong end of the beach for a charter.
See you On The Beach
Book online or call and we’ll talk through which route suits your group. Open 8:00am - 6:00pm in summer, 9:00am - 5:00pm in winter.
