“Florida residents have helped make the Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi the most popular attraction in Florida and this summer special is our way of saying thanks,” said Philip Burroughs, director of sales and marketing. “Now residents of South Florida can get a little break and enjoy relaxing rides along the New River and the Intracoastal Waterway.”

Passengers cruise Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood Beach to see the sights, shop, gallery hop, visit restaurants and bars, and hit the beach. Water Taxi of Fort Lauderdale is more than a boat ride. It is also a convenient way to travel from place to place on South Florida’s intracoastal. With the New Happy Hour, passengers can create their own personalized “pub crawls.”
