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!

This private Cruise was an amazing experience for my wife and I. It was great just cruising around seeing the homes, the Miami Skyline and just relaxing. Gabriel was a great Captain very personable and fun to spend a couple of hours with.
The 7pm cruise was great for views of the sunset and then night time city lights. We had such a fun time. Our captain Luis H was fun and gave a great tour. Highly recommend!
Captain Daniel is the best we had a great time and his knowledge of the area we learned a lot of things about Miami
It was a very smooth process to book and the experience was 10/10. It was just me and 1 other friend on the boat tour and we had Captain Anthony escort us on the tour and he was so much fun!! He definitely added onto our experience and we will definitely be booking with him again! Thanks so much Anthony!!!
Kevin was great! Boat ride was very peaceful and enjoyable. He took pics of us in front of Miami skyline and was very informative.
Jorge was the best! He made us feel safe while still having a blast. He was so knowledgeable about everything and had the best stories! Definitely booking again with Jorge in the future:)))
This was a great bachelorette weekend activity. The captain was very knowledgeable during our tour. Also the ability to connect to the Bluetooth and bring our own food and drinks was a huge plus. Super affordable and would book with them again.
Our first time in Miami and would really recommend booking a boat ride. Trip was amazing! Our captain was awesome! Very great experience, would definitely book again!
We absolutely loved it. Luis was absolutely amazing and super friendly. He made the experience even better. Definitely 10/10
Great experience - sunset boat cruise around Miami
Boat captain Luis was great
Note:- Marina parking is $40 🤦🏻
We enjoyed our time on the boat with Captain Luis. He was a wonderful guide and we would use him again.
I love this experience! The instructor was really really great and so sweet. I’d do this again for sure!
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!
Beautiful and calm boat ride with stunning scenery and views. Captain Gabriel was awesome! He was friendly, helpful, and drove smoothly!
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.
Anthony was a great captain highly recommend. He was friendly, kind, and a ball of energy. Book with him as your captain.
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.

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.

You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure her guests have an amazing experience. Thank you, Olvido, for making our time so memorable we can’t wait to book again!
