FLoatarama 2025: Pride-on-Water 

Presented by Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

The sixth annual FLoatarama returns to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, June 21, and it's making a splash as the nation’s biggest LGBTQ+ Pride-on-Water celebration.

It all kicks off at Bokamper’s Sports Bar & Grill, where guests will board the stunning Yacht Catalina for a 2.5-hour brunch cruise packed with sunshine, waterfront views and full-on vibes. Boarding opens at 10:30 a.m. with complimentary mimosas dockside, and the yacht departs promptly at 11 a.m.

Once on board, the party picks up fast. Enjoy a premium open bar (served by fan-favorite bartenders from Hunter’s), a full brunch and lunch spread, and high-energy beats courtesy of DJ Ronnie Minutella as more than 500 guests cruise down the Intracoastal in full Pride mode.

And the celebration doesn't end when the boat docks. It just levels up. Step off the yacht and onto Bokamper’s massive waterfront patio for the iconic FLoatarama T-Dance, where DJ Trevor Oldroyd keeps the music pumping and the crowd moving all afternoon long.

Adding to the day’s festivities is Grand Marshal Alex Miranda, entertainment reporter for WSVN-TV’s “Deco Drive.” A familiar face in South Florida media and a proud supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, Miranda brings both heart and hometown spirit to this year’s celebration.

Plus, VIPs get an extra splash of style with an exclusive Chris Lopez x FLoatarama 2025 T-shirt, designed just for the occasion and available only to premium ticket holders.

Why FLoatarama Matters

FLoatarama isn’t just Fort Lauderdale’s most fabulous day on the water — it’s the largest LGBTQ+ Pride-on-Water fundraiser in the country, benefiting the FLoatarama LGBTQ Youth Fund managed by The Our Fund Foundation.

The mission is simple but urgent: raise $150,000 to support LGBTQ+ youth in South Florida. These funds go directly to local organizations that provide essential services, including housing, mental health resources, mentorship and safe, affirming spaces where young people can thrive.

Last year, FLoatarama raised $110,000, and since its start, the event has helped distribute more than $250,000 in grants to groups doing meaningful, often life-saving work.

The need is real. In Broward County alone, 1 in 5 students identify as LGBTQ+, many of whom face family rejection, bullying and mental health challenges. FLoatarama exists to let them know they’re not alone — and that their community is here to lift them up.

Cruise. Dance. Support.

However you join in, FLoatarama delivers a Pride experience like no other.

It’s more than just a party. It’s a powerful, purpose-driven celebration that brings people together and gives back in a big way. Every ticket purchased helps change lives. Every beat dropped fuels the mission.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the wave. Get your tickets, bring your crew and let Fort Lauderdale show you how Pride is done on the water.
