I booked champagne for two in the evening. It was wonderful to say the least. The crew was kind and very knowledgeable of the area. The tour guide was witty and fun! And the music selection was superb! Would definitely recommend to friends and even book this experience again!

Was nice when we finally got on the boat. We got the run around on the pier several times. Make you check in by pier 5 first.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review of the Miami Sunset Champagne Cruise with Skyline Views ✨
We’re glad you enjoyed the tour once on board and appreciate your feedback about the check-in process. Hope to see you again soon!

This was weird and I don’t know if it’s because we booked with Viator, but there were a lot of details that were inconsistent. For example, the directions in one place said to meet under the red umbrellas but another place said beige umbrellas, so we had trouble finding it. Then they almost didn’t let us on the boat because we “needed” printed tickets instead of the tickets we were sent digitally (and no where did it say we needed hard copy tickets). In the year 2026, who has access to printing paper tickets when you’re on vacation? There was another guest who was expecting additional perks because she purchased a VIP pass, like preferred seating, but there were no additional “perks” other than an “open bar” which just meant wine and beer. Another inconsistency was the description on Viator was that this would be a “pirate ship” which is not why I booked it, but it definitely wasn’t a pirate ship. We saw that ship in the harbor but it wasn’t our boat. Then, this was billed as a champagne cruise which is 100% why I booked it, and the first champagne they gave me was clearly open from the previous trip because it was totally flat (no bubbles) but I didn’t bother with a 2nd drink because the wine on board was so sickly sweet I couldn’t drink it. It down-poured on and off the whole trip which isn’t their fault, but it just added to this being a disappointing activity. We were surrounded by influencer-wannabes which was also annoying but not their fault. All in all, this was weird because there were so many details we were promised when booking that didn’t match what this actually was. My main gripe, however, is how awful the drink options were, which sucks when you pay extra for it.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We completely understand how frustrating it is when the details on a booking platform don't align with the actual experience, and we see why these inconsistencies made for a confusing trip.
Please know that we fully accept digital tickets and do not require printed copies, so we will look into why there was confusion at check-in. Regarding the umbrellas, we explicitly specify the exact meeting point in our tour descriptions and send out a direct email before the tour time to ensure guests know exactly where to go. We will, however, keep your comments in mind and review our Viator information to ensure the vessel details—including when our pirate ship El Loro is used versus our other tour boats—remain as clear as possible.
We also hear your feedback regarding the drinks. Our inventory is managed to ensure freshness, and while our open bar is structured around specific winem champagne and beer options, we will keep your notes regarding the selection in mind.
Thank you for bringing these details to our attention so we can continue to refine our guest experience.

Hello,
I attended the sunset cruise expecting to enjoy the sunset views and overall experience. However, due to continuous heavy rain throughout the trip, we were unable to properly enjoy the cruise or see the sunset at all.
The weather conditions completely affected the experience, and it was very disappointing and upsetting for us. We had specifically booked the cruise for the sunset views, but unfortunately nothing was visible because of the rain.
I kindly request you to consider providing a refund, partial refund, or an alternative rescheduling option if possible.
Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We completely understand your disappointment regarding your experience, and we see why the continuous heavy rain made for an upsetting trip when you were looking forward to the sunset views.
Regarding the downpour, the weather is completely out of our hands. All guests agree to our terms and conditions upon booking, which specify that there are no refunds or rescheduling options due to weather.
We will keep your comments in mind, and we thank you for your understanding.
Adriana_P, May 2026
The boat was very dirty. I paid for champagne, and they didn't even know what that was. There was nothing good about it... it's not worth it.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We completely understand your frustration, and we see why a dirty boat and a mix-up with your drinks made for such a disappointing trip.
Please know that we always ensure all of our boats are thoroughly cleaned and up to date before each tour, and our staff is fully trained on our drink menus to ensure guests receive exactly what they paid for.
We will absolutely keep your comments in mind as we continue to maintain our vessels and improve our service. Thank you for your feedback.

A great time on the water. Great views. Miami is beautiful only compliant is that the drink package was expensive and there were not many drink options
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback on the Miami Sunset Champagne Cruise with Skyline Views.
We’re glad you enjoyed the great views and your time on the water during the Miami Boat Tour and Miami Sightseeing Cruise, including the Skyline Cruise and Skyline Boat Tour experience.
Regarding your comment on drinks, we appreciate the note and will take it into consideration for service review and guest experience improvements. We hope to welcome you again soon, maybe even on a Celebrity Cruise! 🚤✨
Griselda_B, Apr 2026
We had a good experience on this tour. The staff was helpful and friendly. There were plenty of spaces to sit, especially downstairs. Unfortunately, the top of the boat filled up fast, so we sat downstairs. But it was fine because the top section was uncovered w/ no relief from the sun.
This is a fun, no-frills tour, but it gets you out on the Miami water for a low price. Don't waste time booking the higher price cruises; you will see the same views and have the same experience on the $30 cruise. We also saw dolphins, which was a major highlight!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience on our Miami Sunset Champagne Cruise with Skyline Views.
We’re glad you enjoyed the friendly staff and your time on Biscayne Bay, especially the views of the Miami skyline and the chance to see dolphins—definitely a highlight of any Miami boat tour.
As one of the most popular things to do in Miami, the upper deck often fills quickly due to the open views, while the lower level offers a more shaded and comfortable space to enjoy the sightseeing experience.
We appreciate your feedback and are happy to know you found it to be a fun and accessible way to enjoy the celebrity homes and skyline views. We hope to welcome you again on another Miami boat tour soon!

I paid extra for bottle of champagne which I never received. Employees seemed to have no idea I was supposed to receive a bottle of champagne.
Mary_G, Feb 2026
Left 20 minutes late. The woman who described the sights was hard to understand because it was mostly in Spanish.
Frank_A, Feb 2026
Very nice and informative. Not too long and not too short. Ideal to finish a wonderful day in Miami.
Cynthia_O, Feb 2026
It was very unclear how to get to the activity. We were late due to so much traffic, they did let us to go on the next tour but at that point we had missed the sunset. The snacks for sale were minimal. The tour was interesting seeing all the celebrities mansions and the Miami skyline. It was a nice experience, but I would not plan on going again. I thought it would be nicer.
Sharon_N, Feb 2026
No champagne—just $8.50 bottle of beer. Load, obnoxious music, very poor visibility—upstairs is mostly blocked and downstairs they have bright lights that preclude looking out the window. It was very uncomfortable.
Timothy_K, Feb 2026
Very Hard to find the departure point. No signs, the area was very crowded. We left over 30 minutes late. Staff was very disorganized , they couldn’t find our reservation, luckily I had it on my phone.
Sasha_A, Feb 2026
Booked about 5hrs before time but couldn't make it so trident to cancel and couldn't get a partial refund that's bs
ThiThuong_N, Feb 2026
It was a great trip. I like it soo much. I’d would like to talk with Asgotina, she is very nice and enthusiasm.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thanks for your review! We’re so glad you had a great night and enjoyed the energy on board. Asgotina will be happy to hear your kind words—her enthusiasm helps make this one of the most joyful things to do in Miami, perfect for memorable family activities.
April_C, Jan 2026
This cruise was great! It was very interactive and the host Lina was amazing. I like the way she paired the music with the homes we would be seeing. I would recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Miami. I would definitely book again if she is the tour guide. My only issue is the photographers photos. It wasn't a decent picture and very dark. But this wouldn't stop me from using this company again.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for your review! We're thrilled Lina made the cruise so interactive—her music pairings with the celebrity homes added a unique touch. Touring Millionaire’s Row, Star Island, and the Miami River with that kind of energy makes this one of the most immersive things to do in Miami, perfect for memorable family activities.
Amanda_G, Jan 2026
The tour was good, the tour guide was entertaining.
The experience fell short when going to get drinks they tried to charge us when we had already paid for the open bar option. They asked to see our ticket that they had already taken from us. The next disappointment from a sunset CHAMPAGNE cruise is that there was no champagne, and we were just told they had run out. Rather poor when the experience lists this in the title. Overall great tour guide made up for a poor experience elsewhere.
echeree, Jan 2026
Show up 20mins before! We didn’t and our tickets were sold to someone else! I still gave 5 stars because they gave us tickets to next cruise which was a couple hours later. Good drinks, hot dog. No complaints. Nice tour guide
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for your review of the Miami Sunset Champagne Cruise! We're glad the team was able to accommodate you and that you enjoyed the drinks, hot dog, and skyline views. Cruising past Millionaire’s Row, Star Island, and the Miami River is one of the most scenic things to do in Miami, perfect for relaxed family activities.
Jenilyn_O, Jan 2026
The experience was nice we went and saw the Miami skyline w/celebrity houses. A few things that kinda bummed us out. The boat pictured in the booking was NOT the boat we rode. At 7:30 the boat turns into a pirate ship and it just wasn’t the vibe we were looking for, so that was disappointing on that front. Secondly the host who was showing the houses and entertainment while entertaining, she talked about us having to tip her wayyy to much, almost like we owed her even tho you need to pay to get on the boat. Again it was a cool experience if you want the pirate ship but definitely misleading.
Ojasvi_G, Dec 2025
When I reached there , the cruise staff could not find my booking. They said the cruise is sold out. Then they called office and they rescheduled for different cruise all together( I had booked for pirate ship and got something else with 2 hours delay). Not the experience anyone will want on a christmas day. Not recommended
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how important it is for your experience to match exactly what was booked, especially on a special day like Christmas.
Our team acted immediately by contacting the office and arranging an alternative option so you could still enjoy a cruise rather than missing the experience entirely due to limited holiday availability. While this required a schedule adjustment, the intention was to ensure you received a tour and value for your ticket.
We would like the opportunity to review your booking in detail and make this right. Please contact us directly at info@miamiaquatours.com with your reservation information so we can look into what occurred and work toward a solution.
Guest satisfaction is important to us, and we’re always open to addressing concerns when brought to our attention.

Megan_S, Sep 2024
This was NOT a “sight” seeing cruise. It’s on a private ship and NO champagne was served or offered. Drinks were terrible, and all music was geared toward Spanish.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly value hearing from our guests as it helps us improve our services. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we’d love the opportunity to clarify a few things.
First, we do indeed offer champagne on board, as well as a variety of other drink options to cater to all tastes. We’re sorry if this was not communicated properly during your visit, and we’ll make sure our staff is more attentive in offering this to all of our guests. Regarding the music, we aim to provide a lively and inclusive atmosphere, and we play a mix of music genres, including Latin tunes, to reflect the vibrant culture of Miami. However, we are always happy to take requests and adjust to our guests' preferences whenever possible!
Your comfort and satisfaction are our priority, and we truly hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the excellent experience we strive for on all of our cruises. Please feel free to reach out to us directly, and we’d be happy to personally ensure your next visit is a delightful one.
Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you aboard soon!

Champagne on a pirate ship was not what I bought! Kids everywhere and drinking is not my idea of a champagne cruise!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
The tour's decription is clear, thanks for your feedback.
Cynthia_E, Jul 2024
A little crowded but we went at night. Beautiful views very informational about the famous houses. Get there early so you can be on the top to see everything. We arrived a little late and had to sit underneath. We could still see everything but the top Wld have been a better option!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
We love that you loved the experience !!! Thank you for coming and hope to see you again one day!
Robin_M, Jun 2024
I had a fantastic trip and the champagne was amazing!! We got a beautiful sunset and lots of informative information about the celebrity mansions. The crew and captain Alan were great!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you for letting us know about the top-notch bar's customer service and products, that you enjoyed the tour and music, and that you'll recommend it to others. We hope to see you again one day to enjoy this incredible experience!
Gabriel_G, Nov 2025
Everyone fights to be in front of the boat, but the best spot to see the sunset is the back, at the sides of the Captain, excellent.
