Susie was the perfect hostess and made sure everyone always had what they needed. After much fun in the water, she tempted us with her delicious curried chicken lettuce wraps, which were the perfect compliment to a warm day in the Florida sun. Captain Brian took us for a lovely cruise to preview the yachts moving into the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.\u00a0 This was great to see especially since we will be there tomorrow through Monday to preview yachts for our clients!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/florida_bahamas_yacht_charter.php?bbr=bblog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30758\" alt=\"Mansions\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Mansions.png\" width=\"700\" height=\"324\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We highly recommend TOUCAN TOO for full day charters for up to 10 guests out of Fort Lauderdale.\u00a0 She is only available on the weekends and very reasonably priced for the experience, so book your adventure on her soon before you miss this wonderful opportunity to spend the day on the water with your family and friends!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/florida_bahamas_yacht_charter.php?bbr=bblog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30760\" alt=\"Celebrity Homes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Celebrity-Homes.png\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you are new to Fort Lauderdale and seeking inspiration for a memorable dining experience, be sure to head down to BAO on Las Olas Boulevard.
