Boat
Florida is a world center for two major types of boat transportation: privately owned yachts
and cruise ships.
Each coastal city has sightseeing boats that cruise harbors and coastlines. It really pays
(in memories) to get out on the water. Water-taxi services along Intracoastal Waterways are
a feature in Fort Lauderdale and around Sanibel Island and Pine Island on the Gulf.
Cruises
Florida is a huge destination and departure point for cruises of all kinds. Miami likes to brag
that it's the 'cruise capital of the world,' and Walt Disney World runs its own
Disney Cruise
seven-night cruises throughout the Caribbean, including to Disney's own private island,
Castaway Cay.
