We had an excellent experience on this private boat tour of Miami..one of the true highlights of our week! We took our two boys (ages 11 and 12), and everyone loved it. The views of the Miami skyline and the incredible waterfront homes were stunning. Omar, our captain, was outstanding. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about Miami and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. We’re so glad we booked this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Miami.

Our private 2-Hour boat tour was one of the highlights of our trip to miami! The boat was clean, well-maintained and very comfortable, making the entire ride relaxing and enjoyable. We booked our tour at 6PM which allowed us the suttle shift of a bright day to golden hour. The View, needless to say, was breathtaking and so worth it.
Captian, Ray, was super friendly and knowledgeable, He shared interesting facts and commentary about the buildings, islands and star-houses we passed, which made the tour even more engaging.
What really stood out was how welcoming and personable he was, He made the experience feel special and memorable, and you could tell he truly cared about making sure we had the best time possible.
If youre looking for a boat tour in miami, I couldnt recommend this one more. It was absolutely woth it, and in our opinion, the best boat tour in Miami. We cant wait to book again!
Bonus: Captain Ray, had cold waters available for us, and We were free to play our music throughout the trip, Super thoughthful!
Response from Host, Aug 2026

This was hands down the best tour and day we had on our trip to Miami. Our captain Omar Fernandez, mapped out our 2 hour sunset cruise so we could get amazing photos and he also pointed out all the best points of interest. He was so professional, kind and accommodating. It wouldn’t have been the same without him. He truly made us feel like he just wanted us to enjoy ourselves fully and we did! Thanks again Omar!! ~Trina

Melissa_G, July 2026
We had such an amazing time! I live close by and this is my 2nd time booking this experience. Both times with Captain Omar! He's incredibly knowledgeable on the area and truly makes it a worthwhile experience. I've done this experience with out of town friends and recently again with family visiting from overseas. Captain Omar adapted the experience to what we wanted to see/do and really made it memorable for the whole group. He took us to picture perfect spots and took pictures of our whole group. This is going to become a staple experience for me and I can't wait to book again and again. The boat is the perfect size for the group, giving both cute cozy vibes but also the perfect amount of luxury. Highly highly recommended!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Reading this truly means a lot to us. Having someone come back a second time, request Captain Omar again, and choose to share the experience with both friends and family is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. We’re so happy he continues to make every trip feel personal and memorable. Thank you for your incredible support and recommendation. We’ll be looking forward to welcoming you back for trip number three.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the yacht rental with Captain Raydel! The yacht was pristine and beautifully maintained, and the captain was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive.

Omg! Everything was 10/10. From the time of booking, the coordinator, the captain, the views, the vibes. Everything was perfect. I’m not sure who the coordinator was but he/she was great. Excellent communication. Victor the captain went above and beyond. I told them we’ll be mostly dancing to our music, taking pics and just vining out and they said “we got you” Victor was perfect for us!

Collin_N, July 2026
Awesome experience overall. I booked the sunset option less than 12 hours before it was to start and everything went off without a hitch. Our captain Raydel was on time at the marina. Raydel was very informative and had extensive knowledge of all the large houses we saw. He was experienced with the Bay and made sure the ride was smooth. The complimentary champagne made the night even better. Will definitely book again when I’m in the area!
Response from Host, July 2026

The captain was very interactive. He also did awesome with touring and site seeing. My family learned of many monumental landmarks. Omar made sure we had a great time with entertaining us with music . The experience was 2 hrs and well it. There is so much more good credit I could give but, you have to be experience the waters with this captain. The price was also reasonable.
