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.

We had a great experience with Omar! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating! We highly recommend him
First time in Miami and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our Captin was very welcoming and chill showed us around the river and let us vibe out. Will definitely be back next time we come.
Wow, wow, wow! This was my first time taking this tour, and I loved it so much! Our tour guide was Eduardo Martinez and what an incredible guide he was! Eduardo had such amazing energy, a wonderful personality, and truly made the experience even more special.
My family and I came to visit from California, and we were so grateful to have Eduardo as our guide. He made our day unforgettable!
Thank you for another amazing experience! We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back again. God bless! ❤️

It was such a clean and nice boat! Raydel was so nice and took us to the areas we wanted to see! I booked the 2 hours but should have booked longer since we were having so much fun!
Beautiful experience, you’re going to love the views and the boat as a whole. Highly recommend doing the evening tour with Raydel. He is funny, knowledgeable and overall a great time.
Amazing 10/10 and Eli was the best captain . I honestly enjoyed myself and was very happy about my birthday trip.
We had a great experience with Omar as a captain. The entire experience of 2 hour boat ride was just as expected. The group had corresponded at every step. The communication was very good. We chose Omar as the captain from three chooses, and was very happy with him. He was very good host. A very good tour guide as well. Thanks to Omar and good weather, this was the highlight of our entire trip! Thank you Omar.
Loved this experience and Eduardo Martinez was the best! Even though weather was not ideal to view sunset but we still had an amazing time
Captain Eduardo gave me and my friend an unforgettable sunset boat trip, very friendly and attentive, highly recommended.

We met our captain at the boat harbor. He was waiting for us. He took us to the boat. Helped us with our items and gave us a quick tour of the boat. Then he prepared the boat for our tour.
It was beautiful out on the water. We were very glad that we booked a 4 hour tour and were able to swim. Our captain took us to a small island and we got off to look at a statue on the island. We hung out there for a while but the other boats were all playing loud music so we asked to go somewhere quieter. He took us to a place where we swam and enjoyed the water. He even let each of us drive the boat for a bit.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. Our captain show us the boat had a fresh water hose and we were able to rinse off.
Take the time after a cruise to book an excursion on the water you won’t regret it.
Response from Host, Sept 2026

What a beautiful way to end the day in Miami. We’re glad Captain Raydel made the experience feel relaxed while showing you some of the city’s most iconic homes before the sunset skyline. Thank you for sharing this, Haris. It sounds like the kind of evening that stays with you.

What a compliment to hear that this was the best sunset cruise from beginning to end. We’re especially glad Captain Fernando helped make the entire experience feel so memorable. Knowing you already plan to book again on your next visit means a lot to us. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review.
We had an absolutely fantastic time on our private tour of Miami with Captain Fernando! From start to finish, he was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure everyone in our group felt comfortable and engaged. His knowledge of the Miami area was impressive—he shared fun facts and stories about that city that everyone found fascinating. The highlight for us was cruising past celebrity houses, which he pointed out with interesting tidbits about the construction and neighborhood.
What truly set Captain Fernando apart was how wonderful he was with our two young children. He patiently answered all their questions and made sure they were included and safe throughout the tour. His friendly, warm nature made the whole outing feel personalized and relaxed.
If you want a memorable, fun, and informative tour of Miami with a captain who genuinely cares about his guests, Captain Fernando is the one to choose! We can’t recommend him highly enough and hope to sail with him again on our next visit.
