    It was a nice ride. Parking is an issue. No meter parking before 11 am and after that you can park for max 4 hours. However, the sign is very misleading. It can either mean 3am to 11 am no parking or it can mean 11am to 3am no parking. All the waterfront homes have a story and very interesting.

    This was a very neat and informational tour. It took exactly 1.5 hours. We saw many homes and yachts owned by famous people; homes that were built in the 20's and up. I would suggest that you sit on the right side of the boat as that is the side that the homes will be on as information is given. The strawberry smoothie and fresh lemonade were great!

    Almost 2 hours, worth the time spent. Nice commentary as we moved along the canals and river mouth to Atlantic ocean. Costs 30$. I consider this more worth than the water taxi nearby. Check the timings before you go.

    We had a great time. Learned a lot along the way thanks to Johnny, who was the narrator for the tour. Staff was very nice. Plenty of room on the boat. Drinks and snacks. Perfect way to relax and enjoy the waterways. Highly recommend.

    Like most of you are probably doing, I was debating on whether to do this tour or the Jungle Queen. Based on my research, it appeared that both tours are good, but I ended up going with this one. Everything about the tour was excellent, the boat was well taken care of, had restrooms, an air conditioned area, and even a bar where you can purchase drinks and some snacks. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions the guests had. I highly recommend this tour! You will enjoy it very much! The only negative thing I could say, is that the location does not have parking, but there are several parking options nearby (at a cost). The Carrie B website will list some of the parking options available nearby. 10 out of 10!

    Our group had a fantastic tour on the Carrie B today! The boat is super nice and clean and the drinks were delicious. The scenic views of “the Venice of America” were spectacular and the accompanying narration was extremely informative and interesting. The crew is very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun! We’re locals but we’ll be back to take this tour again!

    Great tour of the Venice of America. The commentary was very informative and entertaining. The vessel is kept very clean and there are plenty of chairs on both levels. They also offer snacks and drinks at the bar downstairs for the 1.5 hrs tour. We really enjoyed and would recommend the tour.

    Off the cuff booking and have to say we had a fantastic 1hr 30mins. Brilliant time and the Carrie B cocktail was lovely.

    I loved this cruise! It's a 90 minute trip along the river in downtown Ft. Lauderdale to the Intracoastal Waterway and back. You cruise by fabulous mansions with a tour guide who spills all the beans on the local residents. Many of the homeowners have fabulous yachts conveniently parked in front of their homes. It's really a fun cruise for sightseeing, people watching or just a relaxing time on the water. Snacks and adults beverages are sold on board.

    Well worth it definitely well worth it, they have a bathroom and a bar with snacks and drinks on the boat so that's cool. Also you get to see a ton of stuff you wouldn't be able to see any other way. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

    Nice way to spend 90 min. Laid back relaxing cruise. Friendly staff, plenty of room on board. Snacks and drinks available although they are not cheap. I parked at valet doen the street 1 min walk for $10. If you arrive early you can park at public parking.

    We moved here a year ago so we decided to play tourist today. It was fun cruising the canals and seeing all the multimillion dollar homes. A fun way to kill a couple of hours. Oh and did I mention you can purchase cocktails and snacks while you taking the views.

    Marriott Harbor Beach recommended this cruise when we asked about something to do during our stay. We enjoyed the tour and sightseeing. We sat up stairs and even though it was a warm day and a light 2 minute rain, we had a great time. I wish there was an opportunity for us to ask questions as their was one mansion that had a roof caved in and everyone was wondering what happened to it. Other than lack of interaction with guest and guide, it was a great experience and is highly recommended. We purchased our tickets online which were an easy process. Just couldn’t figure out how to save the $3 online as mentioned on the card given to us by Marriott.

    We did the 1PM cruise and had a great time! Friendly staff and funny tour guide. They offer indoor seating on the lower deck and outdoor seating in the shade or sun on the top deck. The place was easy to find and the tour left perfectly on time. Take into account that parking can be challenging and is expensive.

  • 4/5 Jeffrey K. 6 months ago on Google
    The Carrie B Cruise tour of Fort Lauderdale waterways was enjoyable with good narration. My initial reaction was that I enjoyed a previous evening cruise on a different line - The Jungle Queen, but they both offer good experiences. The 90 minute ride was nice and offers course the beautiful weather both temperature and breeze helped make for a good time.

    Very easy and laid back, informative host. Good drinks

  • 4/5 Steve in N. 1 year ago on Google
    Seeing and learning about the homes and yachts of the millionaires and billionaires along the route was informative, but I couldn't help feel the sad chasm of difference between what we see here and the average person. The narration included some quips that made it a bit off-putting. Otherwise great.

    Great value for the money. Interesting tour and beautiful sights!

  • 4/5 JC M. 1 year ago on Google
    A decent boat tour. More of a been there done that. Don't need to do it again. Trip Advisor said they take 50 or less passengers. There were over 100.

    We did the night cruise at 7pm. Scoping out huge homes with Christmas lights up along the many canals. Was a fun time.. and a bar.
