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.

My group had a fantastic experience booking this charter boat and spending our time on the water with captain Fernando.

We highly recommend this experience, well worth the cost and time.

The boat ride was even better than I imagined. Our captain, Raydel Hernandez, truly made the experience more enjoyable with his knowledge and interesting facts about the area. The scenery was beautiful, and everything was very clean and spacious. The “staff”was accommodating and made sure guests felt comfortable throughout the trip. Communication was excellent, so I never felt worried or confused about anything. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely take this boat ride again.

TYWANNA_B, Jun 2026
Do discuss your booked itinerary with the captain before you depart. Our experience was wonderful except for missing the Sandbar stop even after mentioning it on the tour to the experienced captain we booked. Also, the tour ended a bit short of the 3-hour booking. Additionally, know that costs are separate for all areas including boat, parking, and the captain's fee. All in all, we made the best of seeing Miami for my 55th bday. Although a small stain on what could have been a 5 star rating for us, give it a go!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Tywanna, for celebrating your 55th birthday with us and for sharing your feedback.
We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your experience and your time exploring Miami. We would like to clarify that your reservation was for our 3-hour Island Stop experience. While the captain offered the included island stop, sandbar destinations are part of our longer excursions due to the additional travel time required.
We also strive to provide guests with their full charter time, while returning to the dock a few minutes early to allow everyone to gather their belongings and disembark comfortably.
Thank you again for choosing us for such a special occasion. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back aboard in the future.
Linda_P, Jun 2026
Highlight of our trip! Our Captain, Eduardo was pleasant, knowledgeable and provided a relaxing tour of Biscayne Bay and surrounding islands. We showed up early and he was ready to depart promptly. We got an early start and he still kept us out on the water for the full duration of our scheduled trip- giving us an extra half hour!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Linda, for sharing your experience! We're thrilled Captain Eduardo could make your trip memorable with his knowledge and accommodating nature. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable adventures on the water.
Elizabeth_S, Jun 2026
It's fun, relaxing, and informational.
Play your own music, bring your choice of food and drinks.
Sit back soak up the sun, observe the buildings, expensive homes, and passersby as someone else guides the boat.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing your wonderful perspective on your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the relaxing cruise with all its fantastic sights and the freedom to create your own atmosphere. We hope to host you again!

Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks Kevin, for the kind feedback! We're thrilled to hear that the captain provided exceptional service and ensured you felt safe throughout. Your recommendation means a lot.
Krissy_M, Jun 2026
Captain Eduardo was amazing! He was kind, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. He navigated deeper waters/waves expertly, keeping us dry and safe. He texted me the day before our boat ride and we also communicated the morning of. He was waiting outside to meet and greet us upon our arrival. We would definitely choose him again!
The owner is highly responsive and fully transparent with the cost, no hidden fees. We arrived at the marina from our South Beach hotel in about 30 minutes (traffic can fluctuate so plan accordingly) and went to Bayside Marketplace after our boat ride ended (less than 10 minute drive).
10/10 experience for us!!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much, Krissy, for your kind words and detailed feedback! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic experience with Captain Eduardo and appreciated our clear communication and transparency. Your advice on travel time is also very helpful for future guests. We look forward to welcoming you again!
James_O, Jun 2026
Raydel was an awesome captain. It was the perfect way to see the waterways of Miami. It felt like a Beverly Hills, CA tour, but even better, because we were on water with a great tour guide, food, and drinks that we brought, but best of all- no traffic.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much, James, for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and felt it was such a unique and relaxing experience. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Captain Raydel!

Winifred_a, Jun 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our boat tour. Captain Omar was very friendly, hospitable, and knowledgeable. He provided commentary throughout the trip. He shared many interesting facts about the city, sites we passed, and star homes. We even experienced a dolphin show during the excursion. Captain Omar stopped and allowed us to video it. The boat was comfortable for all 10 of us and the restroom was very clean. Our tour was at 10 am and it got really hot half way through it. I would recommend going earlier or late afternoon. We decided to go during the day because we wanted to really view the sites, but think it would have been beautiful at night.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Winifred, for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Captain Omar’s expertise and hospitality made your boat tour memorable. Observing dolphins sounds like such a magical moment. We appreciate your tip about timing and hope to have you aboard again to create more great memories!

MYA Boat Charters is wonderful!
It was pouring rain when our charter was originally scheduled, and MYA happily rescheduled our trip for the next morning.
Captain Ray was friendly and informative. He answered all of our questions and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. He even positioned the boat so our selfies in front of the Miami skyline were awesome!
We talked about that trip for the rest of our stay. Thank you, Captain Ray!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you, Lori, for your kind words! We're thrilled that Captain Ray made your Miami experience exceptional and memorable. Rescheduling to ensure the best outing is our pleasure, and we're glad you enjoyed the sights and selfies in front of the skyline. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

A perfect experience to see Miami from the water. We hired Captain Fernando who was so kind, timely, helpful, and informative! We loved being able to dock and take a swim break and coming back through the city with sunset views. Absolutely would book again!

Thank you, Hannah, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you had an amazing time with Captain Fernando, enjoying the sunset views and swim break. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again for another great experience!

Had a nice evening on the water with Jasiel. He was a great captain, pleasant company, and fantastic with the boat. Once we selected our captain the day prior, Jasiel was great with communication. We felt safe and enjoyed our evening. Even with a total downpour halfway through the charter, we had a fabulous evening seeing celeb homes and the Miami skyline after sunset. We had 7 people on the boat with plenty of room for all, and bonus having a bathroom on board. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Jasiel made your time on the water enjoyable and comfortable, even with unexpected weather.
