Michael T, Jun 2017
Thoroughly enjoyable tour of Miami harbor. Mike the Captain provided informative and often amusing insights into the islands and fabulous homes we passed closely by and stopped in front of a couple. Some of the time we traveled slowly, but at others, we got the entertaining speedboat feel. Mike, like me, is a Miami Vice fan the old high-styled TV show, not the inferior movie, and we had fun talking about some of the locations that appeared on the show. We went far over the scheduled hour-and-one-half tour. The boat holds 6 passengers - we are a youngish retirement age couple, another couple was a decade or so younger, and the third were in their mid 20s they sat in the two front seats without cover, we and the other couple were under the canopy, but still had a great view. We all enjoyed it.

James D, May 2013
One of the greatest tours I've been on. So much fun, the knowledgeable Ashton talking us through the houses of the rich and famous before taking us out in the bay and getting us to open up the boats. The adrenalin rush is huge and one I would definitely do this again given the chance.

Robert M, Oct 2012
This was a blast! It was the highlight of our 4 day South Beach vacation. I'm so pleased I spent the money. My girlfriend was thrilled because she didn't have the experience of riding in a motorboat like I had. The history of the star's homes and the area was interesting and the open water riding was great. Our trip would not have been the same without it.

The best time in my life, Michael...

CLAUDI G, Aug 2012
The best time in my life, Michael our tour guide was excellent. We will definitely do this again and it's a must do if you are in Miami.

A stunning experience and chance to see Miami from a unique view. The adrenaline rush is huge if you haven't been in a speedboat before too!

Cornelia P, Jun 2014
Die Tour war super, hat riesigen Spaß gemacht. Netter Guide. Absolut empfehlenswert. Eine Anmerkung noch. Am Abholpunkt gibt es keinerlei Hinweise auf die Tour. Auch konnte uns vor Ort leider niemand Auskunft geben, ob wir an der richtigen Stelle warten. Daher haben wir weiter gesucht und die geplante Tour um 10:00 Uhr verpasst. Konnten dann aber telefonisch alles klären und haben die Tour problemlos 14:00 Uhr gemacht. Also ein kleines Hinweisschild am Abholsteg wäre angebracht und hilfreich! LG C.P.
