Ocean Force Adventures

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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 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!
