Known as the Yachting Capital of the World, there are a few ways to enjoy a day out on the water on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Book a fishing charter with experts at Fishing Headquarters and follow up with an expertly cooked meal using your catch of the day with Hotel Maren’s Catch & Cook program. If sightseeing and some local history is more dad’s style, Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi and the world-famous Jungle Queen Cruise offer rich histories along our iconic waterways and plenty of fun stops along the way. Water Taxi also offers private charters with food and beverage packages for the family to enjoy together.
Relaxation with a View
Fort Lauderdale has a spectacular line up of resort hotels offering beachside and poolside accommodations that will have dad feeling like a king. W Fort Lauderdale’s recently renovated WET Deck offers several options for cabanas with premium food and beverage selection, with a vibrant bar scene and large pool to soak up some fun. Bahia Mar is home to Marina Village, an outdoor food concept offering a variety of different cuisines, a Mainland Bar, and The Shorely, a ferry-turned-entertainment venue where you can enjoy sunset views with a stiff cocktail overlooking the Bahia Mar Yachting Center. The Four Seasons, B Ocean, and Westin all offer private accommodations right on the sand, perfect for more reserved relaxation during the day.
Catch the World Cup Games Oceanside
Throughout the weekend, catch all the 2026 World Cup action along the beach. Con Murphy’s and McSorely’s bring Irish pub vibes and clear views of the ocean from above. For a more upscale, private lounge scene, Lona Cocina and Tequileria will be offering curated two-hour food and beverage packages for parties of 6-8 people. Grab your crew of dads, uncles, brothers-in-law, and brothers from another mother to raise a glass for dear old dad!
