Ocean Force Adventures runs intimate small-boat tours (6 passengers max) around Miami's waters, with Captains Kim and Colin earning consistent praise for their deep knowledge of local history. Guests repeatedly highlight how these captains transform a simple boat ride into an engaging educational experience, sharing historical facts, pointing out landmarks from the Miami skyline to Biscayne Bay, and even showing vintage photos. The tours cover various itineraries including Stiltsville, Key Biscayne lighthouse, and the popular Raccoon Island excursion where visitors can interact with surprisingly friendly raccoons. The Raccoon Island trip gets mixed feedback worth noting. While most guests loved the experience and successfully encountered the curious animals (who apparently love Lays chips), one visitor felt underwhelmed by their private tour, citing minimal guidance on the island itself and no raccoons spotted. Morning tours seem to yield better results for wildlife viewing. Guests recommend bringing water for the raccoons, snacks to attract them, and bug spray. The smooth rides, thrilling speeds, and unexpected wildlife encounters like dolphin pods add extra magic to these tours that repeat customers keep booking again and again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captain Collins Made Our Biscayne Bay Tour AMAZING! We had an absolutely incredible experience on the Small Group Biscayne Bay Ultimate Boat Rental & Tour + Stiltsville with Ocean Force Adventures, and Captain Collins was truly the highlight of the experience! From the beginning, he was welcoming, knowledgeable, personable, and made us feel completely comfortable. What stood out most was how much he personalized the tour for us. It never felt rushed or like a scripted tourist experience. Captain Collins took the time to engage with us, share interesting information, answer our questions, and make sure we were genuinely enjoying every part of Biscayne Bay and Stiltsville. His personality and attention to detail turned a great boat tour into an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are already planning to come back in January with our son, and we are really hoping we can have Captain Collins again! If you’re considering this tour, BOOK IT! and if you get Captain Collins, you’re in for a fantastic experience! 🌊🚤☀️ Thank you, Captain Collins, for making our time on the water so memorable. We will definitely be back!
