Delray Yacht Cruises

An okay boat ride. Parking was hard to find and expensive. Cannot hear the narration over the speakers on many parks of the boat. The service was okay but they force a 20% service charge versus letting customers select the tip amount. The toilets were nice. Seeing some of the houses was interesting but the boat is too large to go into the more interesting spots. The top deck has no shade. They seem to attract rude customers from the northeast. They say they leave at 13:30 and get back at 15:30. Because the bridge opens at 13:45 and 15:45, you will on find only after you get on the boat that the true time is 13:45 and 15:55 which made us 20 minutes late for the next event and nearly cost me a parking ticket since my time expired. $45 total per person was overpriced.

This is a must do! Boat is beautiful and spacious with comfortable ac indoor seating. You must spend some time on the upper deck to get a cool perspective. Bar serves surprisingly good food and fun drinks. Service is very good! They need to take Amex! The tour itself is very informative and will impress out of town guests! Ask for senior or military discount!

This cruise is a nice sightseeing trip up (or down) the Intracoastal Waterway, originating in Delray Beach. It's a nice way to spend part of the afternoon (two hours) and take your out of town guests. We've cruised this boat twice and have now experienced both routes, the one that cruises to the north and back, and today's cruise, which started out southbound and doubled back to the north. The northern route has more natural beauty, while the trip to the south into Boca Raton passes by the more extravagant homes. The narration is interesting and although I know the area, I learned quite a bit. Food and bar service are available. The menu is limited to easily prepared items. The bar service was excellent. My main critique was in the boarding process. All passengers were subject to a search. Purses and large cargo pockets were checked. The big finding seemed to be water, which must be considered contraband, because bottles were confiscated and dumped out. Even the small four ounce mini-water-bottles. Water? Yes, water. If it wasn't for that, the cruise would get top marks all around.

January 2025: Late departure. No gluten free or dairy options for those in our party who can’t ingest that (and they don’t allow outside food or drink). And we couldn’t hear any of the narrated tour for the first ten minutes. December 2022: Made reservations a few days before the trip and they asked me to be there a half an hour earlier. I got the tickets from a cranky attendant. Then, we were standing in line waiting to board, in the sun, for thirty minutes and no shade. They started boarding late. Once they were ready, the brought out a wreath for pictures, took one for everyone who wanted it and we boarded. The ship itself is very nice. It’s in great shape, with three levels, and very comfortable seating. We got a few drinks, no food because the menu was all fried and unhealthy food. The drinks were great and the crew was nice. The trip started late, and we could not hear half of what the captain was saying. The boat ride was nice on the first leg of the trip, seeing the houses and the view. I’m the second half, it was bad, no entertainment and just driving back to the initial spot, seeing the same places. Overall, for the price we paid wiper person (almost $40), we expected better service: on time departure, better food, better entertainment, and better sound. Finally, when you call to make a reservation, the same attendant selling the tickets, just puts you on hold right away, as soon as she picks up the phone.

Nice smooth cruise along the intracoastal. Got to see some beautiful houses and get a little bit of history. Able to get snacks and drinks. Can sit on top deck or indoor areas on boat. Nice staff

Took a weekend yacht cruise. It was a beautiful day and we sat inside and outside at different times on the way and on the return trip to get the whole experience. The inside has different seating options from couches, tables, and benches. It is also air conditioned so it is nice and cool. The cruise offers snacks and drinks. The captain offers narration along the tour which is interesting and informative.

Had no idea we’d have so much fun. We e lived in Delray 10 years, so I’m a tad embarrassed it took so long. Don’t wait! A fabulous two-hr tour south to Boca along the inlet that gives you a beautiful view of where we live. Or go north to Boynton Beach. Either way, ring friends or family, chill, and enjoy some time on water…
