From staynplay.net:
“With 165 miles of waterways, Fort Lauderdale is a water sports Mecca. The city hosts the largest in-water boat show annually, is home to the swimming hall of fame, provides a “water bus” service through its downtown area (be sure to shop, dine and browse along the famous Las Olas Boulevard and visit the famed Las Olas Riverwalk along the waterfront) and supplies boating charters for any manner of boating fun. Port Everglades, one of Florida’s largest deep water ports, offers cruises and cargo shipping. One visit and you can see why Fort Lauderdale is known as the “Venice of America”.”
One of the best ways to see Fort Lauderdale, the Venice of America, is on the Carrie B Cruises. A FAQ for this cruise is here.
