The night view was a vibe, DJ on point and we had a great time. On our next trip to Miami we will definitely book another boat ride with them.

The boat experience that I booked was for 930 pm and was told that the boat was coming late. So they put us on a different boat with no seats together last minute.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. In some situations, boarding may be delayed or a different vessel may be assigned to ensure the safety and proper operation of the experience. Seating is also handled according to arrival order and the vessel's U.S. Coast Guard-approved passenger capacity and seating requirements, which means we cannot always guarantee that groups will be seated together.
We appreciate your understanding and hope you were still able to enjoy the Miami skyline, drinks, and overall experience.

The worst experience in my life, dirty boat, the cruise not even close to 1 hour, it was advertised 1 hour 20 minutes, no availability to see any star island, the boat didn’t stopped or turned that you could have pictures with skyline of Miami ,
I booked with champagne they said it’s prosecco but it was the cheapest bruit for $10 we couldn’t drink it
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify that our description clearly states that the included beverage is sparkling wine, champagne-style, as we always aim to be transparent and never mislead our guests.
Regarding the route, the boat follows the advertised sightseeing itinerary, including Star Island and the Venetian Islands, passing close enough for guests to see the mansions and enjoy the views. The cruise also includes Miami skyline views along the route.
We appreciate your comments and will continue working to make the experience and communication as clear as possible for all of our guests.
Daniel_G, Aug 2026
The boat was led then an hour, no DJ on the boat as advertised, no availability to take pictures with skyline, the boat didn’t stopped or turn to take pictures, the open bar I could get only Coca Cola per bar man,
Waste of money and time
Response from Host, Aug 2026

We waited over an hour after the time we were told to show up. No communication and it was incredibly hot outside. Unprofessional crew members let women dance on them in front of kids. My partner, friend and I were uncomfortable the whole time. Kids should not be allowed on a party boat when there are no rules about what is allowed to go on on the boat.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

We appreciate you taking the time to share your comments.

You can't beat it for the price! Beautiful views of the miami skyline. The only issue I have the time on the ticket said 930pm, however he boat didn't take off until 1030pm. Other than that it was worth it.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Great ride, music to fit all that was on the ride! The views were amazing! It did rain however, the boat had a canopy so the party didn't stop.

Boat was over an hour late, which is fine because I can be patient and understand that things happen. The only real issue I had was with the open bar. After waiting over an hour for the boat to arrive, the host was rushing around getting the VIP section set up right before boarding. About two minutes before we got on, he gave me a purple wristband, took a quick picture of us, and we boarded. A minute later, I went to the bar to get a beer. The bartender seemed confused by my wristband and immediately got who I assume was the captain or supervisor. He came over and said, "No, no, no, we don't do this." I explained that I got the wristband from the employee who checked us in because I paid for the open bar. To be fair, he did say it wasn't my fault, but his attitude throughout the interaction made it feel like I had done something wrong. When I asked for a Corona, which was supposed to be included, he huffed, listed off the drinks that were included, and then said, "Give her a Corona." The whole interaction was uncomfortable and honestly ruined the experience for me. After that, I didn't even feel comfortable going back to the bar for another drink. I'm usually not someone who leaves reviews, but this was booked as part of my birthday trip and it was a bummer. I paid $75 total for this excursion expecting to enjoy the experience, but the way the situation was handled made what should have been a fun part of my birthday feel awkward and disappointing.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about the Miami Party Boat Cruise Drinks & Skyline Views.
We understand your concerns regarding the boarding delay and the confusion around the open bar wristband. The wristbands are used to help differentiate service packages, and we will review the internal communication between staff and bar team to ensure smoother coordination and a clearer process for guests at boarding.
The open bar selection is included as advertised for your package, and your experience should have been seamless from the moment you boarded. Your comments about staff interaction and comfort at the bar are noted and will be addressed with our team for improvement.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this, especially for such a personal occasion like a birthday trip.
Ambar_K, Apr 2026
This party boat was a big disappointment. The advertised boat was a pirate boat, but it was a very crappy boat, poorly maintained, and it played Spanish music. The drink package was disappointing with a bad wine. Would not recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback regarding the Miami Party Boat Cruise Drinks & Skyline Views.
Regarding your comments: in some cases, vessel assignments may change due to operational requirements, and an alternative boat is used to ensure the Miami Boat Tour and Miami Sightseeing Cruise can continue as scheduled, including the Skyline Cruise experience. Music selection and onboard offerings can also vary depending on the crowd and event setup.
Your notes about the drink package and overall experience have been noted for internal review and improvement.
Nana_J, Apr 2026
I do not recommend at all! They didn’t even answer the phone or anything and direction was not clear at all!
Response from Host, Apr 2026

Overall a fun activity and boat ride, the crew was nice and fun, this boat was for families, I didn't think party boat would involve kids, so if not looking for that pick a different cruise

The boat ride was quite poorly organized. The boat ride was only an hour or maybe less. The boat was booked to board the passengers at 9:30, however, it actually arrived at 10 pm and left the docking area at around 10:16, while arriving back to the mouth of the marina at 11:00. I also must say that the playlist was not good. Some music repeated while the majority of the songs were just not good hype music for the occasion. And besides that, apparently the crew members of the Artemis managed to align all of the stars upon reentry to the Earth because you guys managed to board the stinkiest people in all of Miami on one vessel. In addition to very little time on this vessel, stinky people, horrible music, and cramped facilities. This boat ride was the absolute worst. I’ve ever experienced in Miami.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Our team works to operate each departure according to the scheduled route and duration, while maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests.

It was everything, can't listen to bad reviews, have to come experience the thrill ride. Worth ever penny. This boat was Hella live and fun. And them dranks was on point, them bartenders was not playing 💯. Definitely will be back. And we planned it a couple of weeks and paid close attention to the weather. Awesome weather.
Ray_W, Mar 2026
It was a good experience. I can’t give 4 or 5 stars however. The boat ride was NOT the advertised time length. It was much shorter. It was about 30 mins to 1 hour.
Shanell_J, Mar 2026
Spanish music only. Does not depart at the time you choose. Ticket person lacks good customer service.
Lilah_M, Mar 2026
False advertising it is not $28, Horrible experience with the tall, chopped, bad bleached hair male worker directing boarding he was extremely rude and belittling, we paid online 28.99 dollars to board (without open bar) as advertised and when we got there they said we had to pay an additional 79 dollars to get on and out ticket was only a “deposit” and we had to pay an additional amount and when I asked for help and tried explaining we got out tickets online he said and I quote “if you don’t wanna pay you can find another boat” and pointed his hands in my face to go. Also the direction link was incorrect and took us to the complete other side of the bay.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We would like to clarify that the person you described was not a member of the Miami Aqua Tours team.
Bayside is home to several different boat companies, and we do not collect deposits for our tours. All tickets purchased through Miami Aqua Tours are paid in full at the time of booking, and $28.99 is the full price for one of our standard sightseeing tickets.
We regret that another operator may have treated you poorly or provided incorrect information. Your tickets are still valid with Miami Aqua Tours. Please contact us directly with your receipt at info@miamiaquatours.com or call us at (305) 358-7600 so we can confirm your reservation and assist you.
Tiffany_D, Feb 2026
They didn’t even let us on to the boat. And they tried to charge us an extra $100 per person to even get on the boat even though we already paid for our tickets.
Gricelda_H, Dec 2025
Horrible and unreliable. We got to the departure location almost 45 min early, no one was on the designated booth to assist. Our plans completely changed for our weekend trip. There was no boat, no guide to assist. Almost at 10:20pm (not to sure of the exact time) suddenly a returning boat came to sight. I was told by one of the boat workers that the 9:30pm trip was “cancelled”. I was never informed about a cancellation. Neverrrrrrrrrrr! Long story short, now I have to request a refund and submit evidence to support my claim (which we have). Wasted $120 in uber (to & from) to experience a waste of our time, money, and a highly disorganized promo. Never again!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We would like to clarify that the 9:30 pm tour was canceled due to circumstances beyond our control, and all affected customers were notified prior to the departure time. In addition, we offered an alternative schedule to accommodate guests who still wished to enjoy the experience.
We understand how frustrating it is to have your plans disrupted, especially while traveling, and we sincerely apologize for the impact this had on your evening. Our team is reviewing the situation to ensure communication is always clear and timely.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

I didnt experience anything cause they canceled at last minute cause a lot of rain and cause it was only 3 people, they send us to another boat with more cover for people not to get wet, but when they saw only 3 people and couldn’t get more people to sail at 9:30 pm they cancel, we wait the whole day in Bayside cause of the party boat at 9:30 pm, now they lie to company I grabbed the tickets from, and they said they did sailed at 9:30 Saturday September 20th 2025, now I cant have my refund. This was my partner birthday weekend and very disappoint of the Aqua tour , and we are from New Jersey

There are better options. While it is exciting to think you’re going on a pirate ship, the fun stops there. The boat is not terribly pristine, which I could overlook if the experience itself was more enjoyable. I was excited to see this was one of the few boats that actually circles dodge island and you get to see all of the beautiful cruise ship terminals. However, the variety in music styles was ho-hum. I grew up in Miami and enjoy Latin music, but after a while of listening to Spanish songs I was just bored. Not to mention, there are 4 separate spaces on this boat, so there isn’t even room to actually party. I thought I’d get a party mix to bop to and I thought I’d have room to dance or watch people dance like other party boats have in the area, this boat didn’t offer that experience so it scored low on my scale.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We're glad you enjoyed the unique route around Dodge Island. It’s something that sets us apart! Our goal is to provide a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for all our guests, and your comments about the music selection and space layout are noted. We’re always working to strike the right balance in our playlists and ensure that everyone feels the energy and fun of the party.
We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to welcome you aboard again!
Alicia_O, Sep 2025
My event was canceled due to the weather. I was not able to get my money back even though they were the ones to cancel and not me. The most horrible experience I ever had and I will never buy tickets from them again
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Tours are sometimes affected by weather conditions, but in Miami Aqua Tours the safety will always be our top priority. Please know that when this happens, we offer the option to reschedule your ticket for up to one full year so you can still enjoy the Sunset or Skyline Cruise in Miami on another date. We’d love the chance to make this right — kindly contact us at 📞 (305) 358-7600 or 📧 info@miamiaquatours.com and provide us with more details so we can assist you personally. ⚓️

I had a good time. It started pouting down raining. Therefore could not enjoy top level. Wish we could have got a rain check service for next time

It rained and was a horrible experience. We waited more than half hours to board the boat. There was a puddle of water we had to walk thru
