5.00We had so much fun!! Captain Eli Sanchez was amazing! He pointed out all the celebrity houses on our cruise. He was very polite and friendly. He put up with us while we played our music, danced and took photos. It’s BYOB, so we brought what we were drinking onboard. He provided an ice chest and ice. There is a bathroom onboard as well.. We really enjoyed this private cruise with just our group. The boat was beautiful and clean. A must do when you’re in Miami! Thanks again Captain Eli.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE 100% recommended.

5.00We had a lovely day on the water with Captain Fernando. We took the 2 hour tour which was perfect. Fernando shared interesting facts along the way and was delightful. We brought snacks and beverages with us and it would be a good idea to have a little table to put the items on. Parking can be tough so give yourself plenty of time to find a spot. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing Boat Tour with Captain Fernando!

5.00We had an incredible boat trip with Captain Fernando in the Port of Miami. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience relaxing and fun. He shared interesting stories about the city, pointed out the homes of celebrities and knew all the best places to take pictures. The boat is clean, comfortable and perfect for views. Captain Fernando's hospitality was really outstanding - he often checked in to make sure everyone was having fun and even tailored the route to what we wanted to see. It's the perfect combination of sightseeing, good atmosphere and Miami sunshine. This trip is highly recommended if you want an unforgettable, safe and enjoyable experience on the water!
Highly Recommend!

5.00We had family in town visiting Miami for the first time and decided to do this boat tour - Captain Fernando made sure everyone had a great time, and he pointed out all the interesting sites along the way! It was a relaxing yet super cool way to show visitors around Miami. The boat had a covered area in case of rain. Easy to find the meeting site and get to and from the boat. We would all highly recommend this tour with Fernando!

5.00We had a fantastic cruise on the Miami river with our captain Fernando. It was great to spend time on the water with family and friends. It was a little choppy at times because of the wind but we always felt safe and and in good hands. Fernando shared tidbits about places along the river and it was such an enjoyable trip! Definitely would recommend both the excursion and Captain Fernando!
