Top Boat tour agencys in Miami Beach, United States

When in Miami, the best way to see it is from the water and on one of Ocean Force Adventures' zodiac speed devils!  It's the perfect combination of adventure and history as you race through the waters and linger on key spots to get the lowdown on the city itself, how it came about, and little nuggets of some interesting and juicy insights.
I was lucky enough to have Captain Kim as my guide; a Florida native who can write a book on Florida history, and its key characters -- Not just the historical ones, but the colorful ones we all want to hear about that never make it into the history books! That's the real Florida!
On this tour, you'll get a glimpse of the homes of the glitterati at Star Island and Fisher Island, you'll see the home that was the setting for scenes in the Scarface movie (Key Biscayne) and also Gloria and Emilio's Estefan gorgeous abode among others.
The tour goes beyond that. You'll get to know how the city got started, and how Miami came to be what it is now.

A highlight of the tour is Stiltsville, Colorful homes built on stilts during the prohibition era back in the 20s-30s. This was bootlegging heaven and more! Nowadays, we look for the Space Invader Tiles in a couple of the homes, no more booze!
Key to this tour is the fact that it's an intimate event with just 6 guests per boat. And a very knowledgeable captain who is familiar with the area, and its history. Also, it's a zodiac and we get to SPEED!
I can't recommend this enough. It's a must!

Boat party got cancelled around l 24 hours before planned to depart. At least they did refund and reach out before it was the day of.

Loved the tour. It really was an adventure. Colin was fantastic as was Kim. Even though I was running late due to Miami traffic, they waited an extra 10 mins for me and were very nice about it

Love them! They are super professional and attentive. I was able to book our boat with ease and the whole experience was top notch through the day! Will definitely be booking again😊

I had an incredible experience chartering a yacht from them! The crew went above and beyond, taking excellent care of my kids and providing insightful information about the beautiful sights around the Harbor. A seamless and enjoyable adventure – definitely deserving of 5 stars!

I had the most incredible experience in Miami Beach for New Year's Eve day! The yacht itself was absolutely stunning, with luxurious amenities and a spacious deck that allowed us to soak up the sun and breathtaking views of the Miami skyline.

But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the exceptional service provided by the captain and the staff. From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine enthusiasm to make our day on the yacht truly special.

The captain was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also incredibly friendly and accommodating. He took us on an unforgettable journey, navigating the turquoise waters with expertise and ensuring our safety at all times. His passion for the sea was contagious, making us fall in love with Miami's coastal beauty even more.

The staff on board were equally outstanding. They were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From serving us delicious drinks to preparing a delectable spread of food, they took care of every detail, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the day.

I cannot recommend this yacht charter enough. The combination of the stunning yacht, the skilled captain, and the exceptional staff truly made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure on the water in Miami Beach, this is the charter to choose. You won't be disappointed!

My partner and I wanted to take a tour of Biscayne Bay and had limited time to go. We called Ocean Force Adventures and spoke to one of the owners. She was very friendly and helpful, and got us on a tour that day. We met our boat captain, Captain Collin, at the marina a few minutes early, and he was ready to go. He was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We took off in the Zodiac boat and it was a blast! Captain Collin was a fantastic captain and tour guide. He knew so much about the area and the sites we were seeing. Riding in the Zodiac boat was a blast! I love taking boat tours, but they are usually on a big lumbering boat. This one was fast and nimble, but it felt very stable. We zipped around to different areas including Stiltsville, which I knew nothing about. It turned out to be the highlight of the tour. The history was very interesting, and Captain Collin knew a lot about it, which he shared with us. Even though this boat tour was a little more expensive than a typical boat tour, it was so much more fun that I can't say enough good about it. I want to thank Captain Collin and the owner of Ocean Force Adventures for a one-of-a-kind tour of Biscayne Bay.

A must do for families and relaxed travelers who are looking for a guided tour to see Miami in 90 mins…

Our tour with Captain Nick was an absolute blast. He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and an absolute professional. We loved learning the history of the areas we visited and the boat ride alone, will be a forever happy memory for us. Thank you, Ocean Force and thank you, Captain Nick.

No bachelorette party is complete without a yacht experience in Miami! I am so happy we chose Miami Yachting Company for an unforgettable afternoon at sea for my daughter and her friends! Gorgeous day aboard a great vessel with an awesome crew!

The experience was amazing. The staff were very attentive and made sure every detail was taken care of. Made some memories that will last a lifetime - but can’t wait for the next excursion.

It was a great experience and something new to try. It's not often when you get to ride in something that goes on land and water.

Great way to spend some of your time in Miami. Our tour guide Rick was very funny and witty. Highly recommend

So awesome! The staff was amazing. They really catered to us... especially sweet Nicole:) We will definitely lease again!!!

Great experience whit you guys renting a yacht ,definitely recommend and will be looking forward to repeat the next year, captain on the Viking 60” was amazing and super helpful make everything easy and the trip super fun…. Thank you guys

My experience with Miami Yachting Company was phenomenal! The captain was extremely professional and made us all feel welcome. The staff was always available and did a wonderful job assisting all aboard the yacht with ensuring our comfort. I’m looking forward to future experiences with Miami Yachting Company and excited to recommend to friends and family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Captain Nick today! It was a blast! He was so knowledgeable about the area and the history. We especially loved seeing Stiltsville and we even saw dolphins! It was a beautiful day, wonderful breeze. He even knew how to dodge the rain the whole time! I'm so glad we found Ocean Force Adventures and they were able to show us around on the water.
Love, love, LOVED it! Thank you again Nick!

Duck tours was fun and the tour guide was definitely great. It does get extremely hot so make sure to take refreshments. I do wish the seats had more leg room but overall was good.

This boat was the bear part of my trip it is definitely worth a try. Good music, good people, good vibes. Eddie’s customer service really pushed the experienced over for me! 10/10 I definitely recommend!

Had a great time with my partner and sons (8&11) our tour guide was amazing ! Knowledgeable and funny. Shared cool celebrity facts and had a great sense of humor.

This was my first time booking a boat charter, and Giana made everything so smooth and easy. She was wonderful helping with all my questions and recommending the right boat for our bachelorette party of 16. The crew and the charter were amazing - definitely the highlight of our trip!

great party! awesome service, amazing views. gio and frank were the best bartenders! my friends and I had a blast !

recently attended an Encore boat party in Miami and had an absolute blast! The atmosphere was turned up and the music was on point. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making sure everyone had a great time. The views of the Miami skyline from the boat were breathtaking. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable time in Miami.

This was most definitely an experience of a lifetime & it was littt. Oh & I won the twerk contest. If you go to Miami I highly recommend you do the boat

This was an amazing experience! The DJ was amazing, kept the party jumping! It was safe and very enjoyable!! Definitely would do it again!!

It was simply breath taking, the entire experience. When I say they made it an adventure to remember that’s exactly what it was. They were so supportive, informative, interactive, and simply great hostesses. They were a great team. I will never forget this experience.

This tour is a Miami MUST if you love being on the water, catching awesome views, and learning some cool history about the Miami area. Shutterbugs will LOVE the photo ops and the trip to Stiltsville provides the chance to see a piece of history that won’t be here for much longer if the wind and waves have their way.

We are so glad we chose to do a private tour. Felipe was a great guide and very knowledgeable! It was a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. We seen and touched a baby shark. Seen lots of fish, lobster, stingrays, etc. and he gave us many other recommendations of stuff to do in Miami! Would definitely recommend.

WE WERE ON A MUCH NEEDED GIRLS/ BIRTHDAY TRIP. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME ON A PRIVATE BOAT TOUR OF MIAMI AND IT WAS EVERYTHING. FELIPE WAS A GREAT GUIDE, VERY PERSONABLE, EDUCATED, FUN JUST OVERALL A NICE GUY. WE ALL SAID THAT THIS EXPERIENCE MADE US FALL IN LOVE WITH MIAMI. CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN WITH THIS COMPANY. THANK YOU.

Captain Sasha and Ranko were AMAZING 🤩 they took us (a party of 7 girls out for tubing and wake surfing) They both have very entertaining personalities and were great coaches 🥰 would 10/10 do again! Thank you for the awesome experience for me and my girls. We had a great time!!!!!

I had great yacht rental experience! The yacht was beautiful, had many amenities, and the crew provided exceptional service throughout. We ordered 2 Jetskis and they delivered j them to the boat . i recommend to anyone. will be definitely renting again

Beeeest boat tour with Felipe !!!
He made sure we were all very comfortable and made the experience enjoyable with fun facts and beautiful views . We did a 2 hour tour but I wish it was all day ! We even got to play our own music to set our vibe . Would highly recommend 💕✨

I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the boat party was. The interior of the boat was well-designed with two levels and great music throughout. As someone who appreciates a variety of music, I loved the diverse selection that kept everyone dancing. This was definitely the highlight of my trip to Miami. Thank you!

A great trip. We looked at other ways of seeing South Beach but we were really.glad we did rhe duck tour. Two trips for the price of one and with a fantastic guide and driver, it was a really interesting tour and we used the tips given to visit places o the tour and spent.more time there. Got $10 off too by Googling discount vouchers. Would definitely recommend and we would do it again

Felipe was amazing! He even took great pictures and videos for us. It was our first time snorkeling and he was really patient and kind. Definitely worth the drive from South Beach.

If it quacks like a duck but doesn't go in the water, is it still a duck tour?

The Miami Duck Tour is one of those iconic outings all tourists to Miami must do. The art deco scene in South Miami is better than the back lots at Universal Studios (in my opinion), and when the open air amphibious craft actually ventures into the waters around Star Island to gawk at the homes of the rich and famous, the whole experience is a great introduction to all that Miami has to offer.

Unfortunately, we had only half an experience today. Through no fault of the company, some clown with jeep and jet ski trailer backed up onto the exclusive Duck boat boat ramp and submerged his vehicle. His engine was ruined. He couldn't move. We waited nearly an hour for a tow truck to haul him away, only to find out the police needed to come first, and only then would a tow truck be called. So, the tour operator continued with the land portion of the tour, as rain came pouring down.

After disembarking and hearing nothing from Sam, our tour guide, about how the patrons were going to be reimbursed or refunded, all the passengers went back to the office for answers.

Jocelyn, the general manager, was very gracious and apologetic about what had happened. She offered a 50% refund for now or the opportunity to take a later tour that day. In addition, if we rebook on a different day, she added notes to our booking number that we were entitled to a 50% discount. Under the circumstances, that seemed like a fair compromise.

In the end, I only took a few photos of the art deco Miami Beach downtown area on a soggy day with our of town guests. Better luck next time.

This was one of the best trips around Miami!
Filipe was a very nice personable person who really wanted to help us have the best time on the boat. We had two hours and we went over time just so he could show us a good spot to eat. (Boaters)
Snorkeling was a blast. Had clean equipment for us to use and also a Bluetooth speaker where we could hook up and jam our own beats. Strongly recommend.
P.S. Felipe is an intelligent water-life expert who speaks English and Spanish. (Probably others as well)
Definitely do yourself a favor and head over for a snorkeling tour.

Felipe was personal, friendly, and very patient. You can tell he enjoys this job. I had a 10-year-old son with me snorkeling for the very first time. My son was so comfortable with him that he held on to the float and snorkel while Felipe dragged him in the water. It was a private boat tour and snorkel. Beautiful view of all the high rises and Felipe filled us in the history. Thank you Felipe for making it memorable.

We had an absolute blast! We booked a 3 hour private boat and we could not have asked for a better experience. Booking the experience was easy, we were met as soon as we arrived and escorted to our boat. Captain Erik was excellent and professional and a really nice guy! He was knowledgeable about the area, we felt safe, he took us snorkeling and was always on top of safety and giving us the best experience. We saw Manatees, we saw dolphins. Erik gave us everything and more! We had time to snorkel as well as swim at the sand bar as well as touring around Fisher Island and all along the coast. Erik could not have been better. We were so lucky to have gotten him as our Captain. Highly recommend. Three hours felt more like five. It was the highlight of our trip! Thank you so much!

Really enjoyed the boat party. Good vibes, great drinks and music!

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip w/Captain Colin exploring the Miami area by boat. From beautiful mansions, the Miami skyline, Stiltsville, an aquatic National Park, lighthouse, etc., Cpt. Colin was very informative, knew the history of the area, and allowed us ample time to take pictures. We definitely recommend this trip!

Absolutely fantastic tour! If you are looking to get on the water in Miami this is your charter.

I’m a Florida native and have my own boat so I was not willing to get on the bigger “touristy” charters. This is worth every penny and our captain was very knowledgeable.

We booked the group charter but they didn’t end up getting anyone else booked. They stood behind the price and still made sure my partner and I got the full experience.

This is the 2nd time I am renting a yacht from this great company! Cruise was amazing as always! Crew was fabulous! First time around we rented a 86ft and yesterday a 62ft yacht. Both of them were in immaculate conditions!
Be careful reading all the 1 Star reviews, you can tell they are fake and it’s a very competitive market. They will do anything to destroy good company’s reputation! This company is nothing but Amazing!
Thank you once again for great experience:) see you soon again!

Pros: One of the coolest adventures I’ve taken during my stay in Miami. The tour guide is amazing and extremely funny. The driver cared about the passengers and did a great job as well. I had no idea the same vehicle would be going into the water so it was a real adventure just like a duck! My family enjoyed the tour as well and I highly recommend this tour to everyone in town.

Cons: Be prepared to pay a hefty price for parking nearby because parking spaces are at a premium. Also, you will pay small fee if you use your Go Pass as well. Otherwise, worth every penny.

Great experience working with Giana. With her help, we were able to find a beautiful boat with a very pleasant crew. Responses were prompt and accurate. Would recommend Miami Boat Charters to anyone.

My husband and I celebrated our 10 yr wedding anniversary and my bday in Miami and chartered the Solstice Yacht for our family and friends to enjoy a day on the water with us (a large group of 30 ppl). Giana was very helpful in setting up the charter and answered every one of my many questions. On the day of, the Captain and the crew were all so pleasant and fun. They made sure we had a GREAT time. I would recommend Miami Boat Charters and would def use them if I'm in Miami again!

The experience I had with Miami Boats Rental was amazing! I celebrated my 21st birthday with my twin on a nice yacht with all our friends, and we were able to swim, use the floating mat, listen to great music, and overall have a nice time. The only downside which I have to mention is that the included cooler with ice and water bottles which is especially important on the water, were nowhere to be found, which was extremely surprising to me as I found out as we all arrived there.

Absolutely phenomenal experience!!! The views, the water sports - the Big Mabel, the Sea Bobs, the jet skis, and of course - the amazing service by our tour guides Captain Frank and crewman Don!!! The best part about my Miami vacation!! Would do it all over again!!

Giana was so responsive and very helpful with all of our questions. The whole charter experience was beyond our dreams! The boat was beautiful and we had so many options for the water sports. Captain Frank and crewman Don were wonderful! Super accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time! We loved everything and would recommend Giana and this charter to everyone. If you want to have a great time in Miami book with them! We will be booking with them again in the future! Can’t say enough good things.

Highly recommend Miami Boats Rental. I’ve booked through them twice so far. Ardi is an awesome broker. He helped me find 2 boats to celebrate 4th of July and accommodated all my asks and changes. This was greatly appreciated as this was not an easy task.. especially for a holiday weekend. The captains and crews of both boats (Captain Juan and Captain Jorge) were great - professional, efficient and fun. The process of meeting up and anchoring together at the marina was smooth. My friends and I had a great time. Will definitely book through Miami Boats Rental again :)

We booked this boat for my brothers 21st birthday and it was amazing!!! Our captain was hilarious, he let us play our own music, he helped set up the food and the cooler, and he was overall just such a nice man! The boat looked exactly like the pictures it was well maintained and very clean. We got to meet the owner Carlos who was also amazing. We were new to Miami so we let him pick the location and it was absolutely beautiful!!! We WILL be booking with this owner specifically VERY soon! Thanks Miami Boat Rentals for hooking us up!!!!!!

Rented a 57' Azimut yacht with my group of friends last week with Miami Boats Rental and we had so much fun. Miami Boat Rentals was super professional and easy to work with and much cheaper than any of the other options we looked at. Great customer service. The boat captain and stew were super friendly and the yacht looked brand new. We will be booking with them again!

Great service! They found a very good yacht for me and my friends , all the process was fast and smooth . The yacht was clean and looked amazing and we had an amazing day!! Totally recommend!

We rent 58’ Prestige and it was a great choice. Yacht was new and clean. I recommend to rent a boat with this company. Great customer service.

I (Luxury Dreams Travel Bar) booked the Midnight Sun through Giana for a 50th birthday party this past November. We entered the agreement back in March and of course the pandemic left us with the unknown. Giana worked with me through all of my questions and concerns (with lots of patience) as not being locally in Miami left room for anxiety. Giana along with the ENTIRE staff of the Midnight Sun - all were so kind and the experience was well worth it. I will definitely utilize this company to assist in my charter needs in the future.

My experience with Miami Boat Charters was wonderful. Giana was very attentive and answered all the questions I had. I definitely recommend them and plan on using them again in the future.
