Private Cruises from Pompano Beach
Boat Tours for Special Occasions in Pompano Beach
Sightseeing tours, birthday and anniversary cruises, New River trips, and ashes-at-sea ceremonies on a private boat for up to 6 guests.

Don't Panic Sportfishing provides boat tours in Pompano Beach and books the South Florida boat charter that suits the occasion. We offer great options for a day out or for celebrating something special. Our boats accommodate up to 6 guests, ideal for small groups of family and friends who want the whole boat to themselves.
Sightseeing runs along the Intracoastal, birthday parties, anniversary cruises, retirement send-offs, and quiet ashes-at-sea ceremonies all depart from our Pompano Beach dock beside Hillsboro Inlet. Choose a short 2-hour trip or a full-day adventure, and the crew that runs our offshore fishing charters in Broward County will take care of everything else.
We have many choices for your day on the water in the Pompano Beach area. Sightseeing tours around Pompano Beach, special event trips in South Florida, birthday parties on the boat, anniversary trips along the coast, and group outings for visitors and locals are all on the menu. Two of the most requested routes are the New River in Fort Lauderdale and the Million Dollar Mansions tour on the Intracoastal, where waterfront estates line both banks.
Celebrating a special day is what these tours are built for. Birthday parties come with great Pompano Beach views, anniversary trips showcase South Florida's pretty coastline, and family get-togethers and retirement parties fit just as well. We also offer ashes spread at sea for families who want a private, dignified farewell on the water. Tell us what you are marking and we will shape the trip around it.
Our boat tours can be adjusted to fit your preferences. You can choose short 2-hour trips or full-day adventures, and each additional hour after the first two is $200.
We provide everything you need to be comfortable, so you can focus on enjoying your time. Both boats have a cooled salon, a galley with a full-size fridge and microwave, a private head, and coolers packed with ice. The crew hands adults over 21 a free Bloody Mary or Mimosa at boarding.

Ideal For These Pompano Beach Celebrations
The New River, Las Olas, and the Mansion Route from Pompano Beach
The best sightseeing in Broward County happens from the water, and Pompano Beach is the right place to start. Heading south on the Intracoastal Waterway, the route passes the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, the canal-front estates of Lighthouse Point, and the yacht-lined canals of Fort Lauderdale. Turn into the New River and you cruise straight through downtown Fort Lauderdale, past the Riverwalk and the megayachts docked along the banks. The Million Dollar Mansions tour covers the estates along the Intracoastal between Pompano Beach and the Las Olas Isles. Our Deerfield Beach boat charter guests and neighbors in Lighthouse Point can be at the dock in minutes, so even a 2-hour tour fits into a busy celebration weekend.
