    With an impressive perfect rating across over a thousand reviews, this boat tour operation clearly knows how to deliver memorable Miami experiences. Guests consistently rave about their captains—Matt, Ben, and Esteban get called out by name repeatedly for being funny, knowledgeable, and professional. The boats themselves are well-maintained and beautiful, setting the stage for tours that typically include stops at the popular Raccoon Island (where you can actually feed the raccoons), plus chances to spot dolphins and cruise past Star Island. What really stands out is how much fun people have. The captains bring personality and humor to every trip while sharing insider knowledge about the area. Many reviewers mention they'll definitely book again, and some even wanted to go back the very next day. Tours range from evening cruises to longer three-hour adventures, with opportunities for snorkeling thrown in. The consistent enthusiasm across so many reviews suggests this is a reliable choice for anyone wanting to experience Miami's waters with engaging guides who make the trip special.

    We rented a boat (same day) for the 4th of July, and the whole team went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Our captain was Alberto and he’s absolutely fantastic - we can’t recommend him enough!!
