Welcome to the office of Capt. Jay Schradel. It's an office with a waterfront view.
He's with Riverfront Cruises. It's an hour-and-a-half tour near the Fort Lauderdale coast giving passengers a front row seat at more than 250 miles of inland water.
"We can pretty much do anything by boat," Schradel said.
And this tour is one of a kind.
"[There's] lots of money, millionaires, private yachts...really nice houses," he said. "It's a great trip."
A great trip filled with houses of movie stars, local billionaires and even a chance to see film director, Steven Spielberg's yacht valued at more than $250 million. But it's not only for the rich and famous. Schradel says it's also for the criminally corrupt.
"That is our $22 million Broward County jail," he said. "Yes, we have waterfront property for prisoners."
Schradel has been doing this for nearly seven years. He says every day is a new experience and he wouldn't trade it for anything.
"Enjoyment...a lot of fun...we have a lot of great people," he said.
