Great boat tour! We all loved the experience. The boat is super clean and very comfortable. The captan was amazing. One thing I would do differently is - be ready with a playlist I love (the capatan can play out of your phone) and I would bring drinks and snacks to add to the experience! I would do it again!

Captain Ray was AMAZING! We had the best time for my friends bachelorette party on the boat! He was so kind and showed us all the celebrity houses. Would recommend this experience!!

Today we had a beautiful boat tour. It was a very special, peaceful, and truly unforgettable experience. We would especially like to thank our captain, Eduardo Martinez, for his kindness, professionalism, and excellent service throughout the entire trip. He made us feel comfortable, safe, and very well taken care of at all times. His warm and friendly attitude made the experience even more enjoyable, and it is clear he does his job with passion and dedication. Thank you for making this such a beautiful memory. Without a doubt, it was a wonderful experience and one we highly recommend. Hoy tuvimos un paseo en bote hermoso. Fue una experiencia muy especial, tranquila y verdaderamente inolvidable.

Great to get out on the water. See Miami from a new perspective; like all the celebrity houses. Let the sea spray your face and get out in the sun.

Exceptional Service and a Truly Memorable Experience

The captain provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. Professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive to everyone on board, he made sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. His navigation skills were excellent, and he shared interesting insights along the way that made the trip even more enjoyable. You can tell he truly cares about his passengers and takes pride in what he does. I would absolutely recommend him and look forward to booking again in the future.

Jarred_J, Apr 2026

Allow a lot of time to get to meeting point. The bridge that lets the boats pass can last for 30 mins. Otherwise, the actual experience on the boat is awesome. Captain Victor Barredo is phenomenal and a great pick for captain!

Wonderful afternoon on the boat…. So much fun and really worth. A must do when you visit miami

Ankita_R, Apr 2026

We booked the afternoon tour with Jasiel. Five stars! The boat was nice and super clean, and the itinerary was perfect. We loved seeing the Miami River and getting some beach time in. Jasiel was very nice and knowledgeable about the area, making the trip both fun and interesting. The rain added up to the fun and view after rain was spectacular. We had a blast! I would highly recommend the tour with Jasiel.

Dilon_G, Apr 2026

I had an amazing time celebrating my handsome son’s 14th birthday and our captain Jasiel was spectacular. He made our cruise so special and my entire family loved him. We wished that it was 4 hours instead of 2 hours because we didn’t want it to end. My son had a WONDERFUL birthday celebration! Thank you!

We had the best time with Captian Victor. He reached out the day prior to assure us that he was all set to take us. The boat was nice and clean and had plenty of space for our group and our food and drinks we brought with us. Communication was seamless.

Amazing experience!

Fernando_L, Mar 2026

We booked this experience last minute because our group of ten people wanted to explore Miami in a private cruise. MYA Boat Charters was a pleasure to deal with - very professional and attentive. From the minute we booked our trip, Duniel reached out with valuable information and also answered to all the questions I had. We arranged for Captain Daniel Maqueira, who had great reviews from prior experiences. Daniel certainly did not disappoint and we had a great time overall with him. He was attentive, knowledgeable and flexible with our scheduled trip. If you decide to book your private cruise with MYA Boat Charters, we highly recommend you hire Daniel as your captain as well. Overall an amazing experience which we will surely hope to repeat some time soon.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're thrilled you had such a memorable experience with Captain Daniel and our team. It's wonderful to hear everything met your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again in the future!

Tanish_G, Mar 2026

Eduardo was an amazing captain, he made sure to explain the safety procedures of the boat and where all the necessary equipment was. during the boat ride we were able to connect our phone to the speakers and play music, which made the experience 10x better. The boat had led lights which look amazing in the night, and we were able to get really good pictures. the boat was extremely clean and there are honestly no complaints. 10/10 experience and would definitely do it again.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you, Tanish, for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time and that Captain Eduardo provided such a memorable experience. Connecting your music and enjoying the LED atmosphere at night truly adds to the special moments. We would love to welcome you back anytime for another adventure!
