Whiskey Creek
Private captained boat tours offer exclusive access to Whiskey Creek’s secluded mangroves, swimming, and sandbars.
Discover Whiskey Creek: Fort Lauderdale’s Most Secluded Natural Mangrove Lagoon
Tucked inside the pristine, protected shores of Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park in Dania Beach, Whiskey Creek is South Florida’s most tranquil, untouched coastal lagoon. Accessible only by shallow-draft boats, kayaks, or paddleboards, this serene waterway is shielded from heavy ocean waves, offering crystal-clear, waist-deep turquoise waters lined by lush native red mangrove forests.
Our 100% private guided boat tour takes your group away from the noisy, crowded tourist hubs directly into this protected nature sanctuary. Operated by an experienced local USCG Master Captain, you will cruise through scenic waterways, anchor in calm sandbar coves, deploy our 18-foot floating lily pad mat, and swim alongside native marine wildlife.
Why Commercial Tour Ferries Cannot Access Whiskey Creek
Most tourists book public water buses or large commercial sightseeing boats that can only travel along the main deep-water Intracoastal channels. These commercial boats carry 50 to 100 strangers, play automated audio recordings, cannot navigate narrow, shallow waterways like Whiskey Creek, and provide zero opportunity to anchor or swim.
Our private guided tour provides complete access to shallow, secluded waterways that large boats cannot reach. Your group has the entire boat to yourselves, complete control over your music on our marine Bluetooth sound system, and the freedom to spend as much time swimming or sunbathing as you desire.

- Swim & Sandbar Stops Included: Anchor in waist-deep clear water with our 18ft floating lily pad mat.
