October in Fort Lauderdale is prime time for cruising! The summer humidity is a memory, the sunsets are dramatic, and the party possibilities are endless. Forget boring haunted houses—the best fun is right here on the water.
Here are the Pontoon Party-approved ways to rock your October on the waves:
The Floating Fright Night: Costume Cruise
This is the only trip of the year this incredible! Halloween is a MUST-DO event on a pontoon.
- The Vibe: Costume contest meets scenic cruise. Get your entire crew to dress up in their best (or worst!) costumes, decorate your boat for a spooky feel, or keep it classic party animal style—it’s totally up to you!
- The Party Bonus: You can roll up to waterfront hotspots like The Wharf on the water and make an entrance that would make any spectator jealous. Plus, our double-decker boats give you the perfect stage for showing off your look!
- Pro Tip: Bring some easy, handheld treats. Think “Mummy Dogs” or candy—it’s a costume party, not a sit-down dinner!
Prost! The Oktoberfest River Cruise
Grab your steins and your lederhosen—we’re bringing the beer garden to the Intracoastal Waterway!
- The Vibe: Festive, loud, and Hoppy. Themed parties are the best parties, and they’re even better when you’re cruising past million-dollar mansions.
- What to Do: Pour a tall boot of beer, blast some German music, and host a Stein Holding Contest on the top deck. Let your captain be the designated driver so you can fully embrace the fest!
- The Pontoon Advantage: Our boats are BYOB, so you can stock up on your favorite fall seasonal beers and save big while you celebrate.
Arrive in Style: October Dinner & Brunch Cruises
Ditch the Uber and make your meal part of the adventure! October brings the perfect weather to dine dockside.
- The Vibe: Relaxed luxury with a perfect sunset backdrop. Skip the valet and let us be your water taxi to some of the city’s best waterfront restaurants.
- Dinner Cruise: We can pull right up to spots like 15th Street Fisheries, Historic Downtowner, or Southport Raw Bar. Enjoy a stunning sunset cruise, hop off for dinner, and then cruise home with the sparkling city lights as your backdrop.
- Brunch Cruise: Everybody’s favorite meal is even more awesome when you get a head start on the mimosas on the way! It’s the perfect pre-game for a Sunday Funday or an awesome way to kick off a celebration.
