An exceptional yacht experience from start to finish. The yacht was luxurious and well-maintained, the crew was friendly and professional, and the overall vibe was relaxing and elegant. Truly worth it and highly recommended for anyone seeking a special experience on the water.

My friends and I had a great time! The boat was spacious enough for the 6 of us and Captain Leo was also really fun and open to answering our questions about boating and the area

Worst experience ever. DO NOT BOOK.
When we booked the boat trip, the description clearly said we would cruise through Biscayne Bay and see some of Miami’s best sights, including Millionaire Row, Star Island, and Downtown Miami. We saw none of that.
Instead, we stayed in a harbor the entire time. We paid over $200 and never left the harbor area. The description is extremely misleading and does not reflect the actual experience.
It also says the trip lasts one to two hours, which made us believe we would at least see some of the advertised landmarks. That never happened.
This feels like false advertising. We paid expecting a sightseeing boat tour and instead got a very disappointing ride around a harbor with no views and none of the promised locations.
Do not book. Total waste of money. 🚫

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We respectfully disagree with your comments, as the differences between the 1‑hour and 2‑hour tours are communicated in several places. First, the product description clearly outlines what each duration includes when you select either the 1h or 2h option. In addition, the confirmation you received from Viator also explains the distinctions between the two tours.
It’s important to understand that the 1‑hour tour is a shorter, more limited experience, and choosing the lower‑priced option naturally won’t provide the same coverage or flexibility as the 2‑hour tour

It was a very nice experience for us, we did the 1 hr ride with Hector.
A very good captain and person.
We wanted a chill experience with music, champagne and a good view and he accommodated us.
Out of the trip we think this was the highlight!

Hi, thanks for your feedback. All customers receive a notification explaining what each tour duration includes (1h, 2h, and 3h), and this information is also clearly detailed in the product description. Each option offers a different experience, and the 1‑hour tour is designed as a shorter, more limited version.
Because of that, choosing the 1‑hour option naturally won’t provide the same experience as the 2‑hour tour. Each product is priced according to what it offers, and the longer tours include more time, more areas covered, and more flexibility

Booking with these guys was frustrating and such a headache. I had booked an hour for a certain time and they last minute change my time with no notice as well as communication to know the captain was just a headache. I won’t be going with them next time.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We understand that the process can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, especially with the waiver and the need to select a captain. These steps are required by law and are in place to ensure everyone’s safety on the water.
If a selected captain is unavailable, there may be adjustments to the start time. While we know this isn’t always ideal, it helps us guarantee that every tour is operated safely and in compliance with regulations.
Based on the feedback we’ve received from other customers, we truly hope that aside from the paperwork, you had a great time on the water

We had a blast!! The complimentary champagne was great. They allow you to play your own music. We had Raphael as our captain. We was great. He slowed down for our scenic pictures when ever we requested him to. No issues. I would 100% book them again
