FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Free boat trolleys have returned to downtown Fort Lauderdale’s New River after nearly a year of being out of service due to the pandemic.

The Riverwalk Water Trolley, which is managed by the City of Fort Lauderdale, links visitors and residents in Fort Lauderdale to some of the most popular bars and restaurants along Las Olas, and even museums and parks — all at zero cost.
