A yacht charter in Fort Lauderdale gives you the perfect mix of city cruising, calm waterways, and access to the Florida Keys. Known as the “Venice of America,” Fort Lauderdale has over 300 miles of canals, lined with luxury homes, palm trees, and waterfront dining. A full 7-day charter gives you time to explore Biscayne Bay, the Keys, and even spend a night in Miami while returning to Fort Lauderdale at the end of your trip. Here’s what a 7-day Fort Lauderdale yacht charter itinerary could look like, along with yachts perfectly suited for the journey.
