In Ft. Lauderdale we took a water taxi, which is highly recommended.
For $238, you get a pass that lasts all day and you can hop on and hop off at any stop from the downtown to Margaritaville and many points in between.
The kids enjoyed it a lot especially one of the stops we made.
It was lots of fun with the boat crew narrating the various sights you see, including the homes and boats of the rich and famous as you go by. They also serve a very generous rum and coke for $5 which makes the trip even more enjoyable.
So we passed by a certain yacht.
She's the Seven Seas, and she happens to be owned by Steven Spielberg.
To say that's a big yacht is an understatement.
This amazing luxurious super-yacht is 282 feet long complete with pool, helipad, a 30-foot sportboat and a 34-foot limousine boat and of course a huge 150-foot wide movie screen. It cost around $200 million to build and it can be yours for rent....for a bargain price of $1.5 million per week for 12 guests. Per the guide, that rental rate does not include the food, fuel, and crew tips for that week.
Rumors have it that Spielberg is now having an even larger super-yacht made at a cost of $300 million, as this one is apparently a little small for his needs. Good for him.

My wife and I did a boat tour once down in Florida. We got to see a few of the rich people yacht's. We saw the one Judge Judy had just finished having built, for $ 70 million. I think that I could have managed to suffer a week on it.
