Amazing Private Boat Charter Experience in Miami!
We had a wonderful time on the Sightseeing, Sunset & Sandbar tour with Private Miami Boat Charter! The views were absolutely amazing, and enjoying champagne while watching the beautiful sunset made the experience even more special. Our captain and guide, Eduardo Martinez, was gentle, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the trip. He made us feel comfortable and ensured we had a great time on the water. The sunset was truly beautiful, and the entire experience was relaxing, memorable, and worth it. We highly recommend this boat tour to anyone looking to enjoy Miami from the water! Thank you, Eduardo, for such a lovely experience! 🌅🥂🚤

Best day ever
We had the BEST day on our boat trip in Miami with Captain Ray! Ray was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. He was so much fun, incredibly friendly and made the whole trip feel completely relaxed and effortless. Nothing felt rushed, the vibe was amazing and he genuinely made sure we had the best possible day. We laughed so much, completely switched off and just had the most incredible time. It ended up being one of the highlights of our Miami trip and Captain Ray was a huge part of that. If you’re booking a boat trip in Miami, I couldn’t recommend him enough. We would 100% book with him again! Thank you Captain Ray for the best day! 🛥️☀️
