We had an unforgettable time on the Miami sunset boat tour! The views were absolutely breathtaking as the sun dipped below the skyline, and the entire experience felt magical. A huge shoutout to Luis—he did an incredible job as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. His energy and local insights added so much to the trip. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Miami—ask for Luis if you can!

The experience was great! We booked with Luis Hernandez and he was a great captain. He showed us all the places and made sure that we got the full experience of what Miami brings. Book with him!

I had Anthony S for my captain and he was great. He gave us options for where we would like to go and we chose the skyline. 2 hours flew by but it was a great birthday.
Jaraya_J, Jul 2026

Great experience with Anthony Small as a captain. We took a boat for eight people, two families we had kids different ages and Anthony knew exactly where to take us. He tailored everything to our liking. He’s very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. We went to the sandbar with floated on a mat with swim nor coat, jumped off the boat. The boat was clean we even saw dolphins. I highly recommend this company and pick Anthony as your Captain. I give him my highest recommendations.

Jorge Díaz was awesome! Great time and a lovely experience. We had a blast and would do it again. Again can’t recommend Jorge enough

The captain was very nice and did his best. However, don’t expect this boat to go faster than bike. He literally strolled around extremely slow. Oh and be ready to pay $45 to park there. All this with extremely rude parking staff there. It almost feels like tourist scam.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the captain friendly and attentive, as safety and customer service remain our highest priorities.
Regarding the boat’s speed, our tours are marketed and operated as sightseeing experiences, not high-speed excursions. The captain is required to follow designated waterways, local regulations, posted speed zones, and safety protocols. These measures are in place not only for the safety of our guests but also for other boaters and wildlife in the area. While we understand that some guests may prefer a faster ride, the tour was conducted in accordance with the experience we advertise and the regulations governing our operations.
We also understand your dissatisfaction regarding parking costs and your interaction with parking personnel. However, it is important to clarify that parking facilities are owned and operated by a third-party company. We do not control parking rates, enforcement policies, or the conduct of parking attendants, and therefore cannot be held responsible for decisions made by that independent operator.
While we respect every guest’s right to share their opinion, we believe it is important to distinguish between aspects of the experience that were within our control and those that were not. Based on your own comments, the captain provided friendly and attentive service, and the tour was conducted safely and as intended. We regret that certain external factors affected your overall impression, but we stand behind the quality and professionalism of the experience we provide.

All I can say is get ANTHONY as your Captain! He was great communicated very well. With all women onboard he was the most respectful and we all felt safe with him and the water was extremely choppy that day.

It was amazing! We had Captain Luis and he was the absolute best; very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! We booked 12 noon on a hot, sunny day so make sure to bring a hat, shades, and sunscreen!
Martin_S, May 2026
We had so much fun and it was enjoyable. Daniel showed us around and pointed out many places that we enjoyed and he was very very well informed about the area. He made us feel very, very comfortable. We will definitely do this again.
BRANDON_B, May 2026
I did not expect for most of the duration of the water trip to be in a no wake area. It definitely took a while to get to the celebrity homes. I would’ve hoped to get to see more sites in a 2 hour time frame. However our Captain Luis Hernandez was the best.
Russell_B, Apr 2026
For me dealing with everything you have to do after you have made the initial deposit is frustrating every time. You then have to choose your captain and fill out more paperwork. They do not always send you the correct information and don't acknowledge that in their end. The best part of everything is the boat ride and the captains. They do an amazing job and are extremely friendly!!
Clara_l, Apr 2026
The booking experience was smooth and very responsive. Captain Luis was amazing from the moment we got to the dock and the whole sailing time. It was the smoothest boat with a beautiful view and exciting pointers from Luis. And very accommodating!
