Wonderful way to spend a Sunday with family!

Captain Eduardo made our Sunday celebration absolutely wonderful! He was professional, polite, and incredibly attentive from start to finish. We had elderly family members with us, and I especially appreciated how mindful he was of their comfort and safety throughout the entire trip. The boat itself was very comfortable, and the tour was fantastic—relaxing, beautiful, and such a great way to spend the day. Eduardo was always aware of what everyone needed without us even having to ask, so we could just sit back, enjoy the ride, and take everything in. It was exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for and made our celebration that much more special. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to do it again!

Not worth the added expense. Hidden charges. Understand the total cost before booking.

We booked a private tour as an alternative to the group tour hoping that the tour would be more detailed. The private boat was perfectly clean and comfortable and the captain was nice and polite. However, I think the tour provided less information about the sites then if we had taken the public tour. The boat basically followed the public boat to the same sites but the captain provided very little commentary. If you are looking for a tour then I would choose the public option that is offered at a much lower cost. If you are looking to party with your friends on a boat while riding around the bay then this would be better suited for you. Additionally, we booked the trip and did not notice the fine print that states the charge ONLY covers the boat. Not the captain, not the fuel, not the tip. The actual cost was therefore $120 higher than the original charge. Buyer beware.

Amazing way to see Miami

Omar was an amazing tour guide! We were running a little late, despite that he was very patient with us. Definitely a 10/10 experience where you get your money’s worth. We also did the sunset option and have 0 regrets.
