2.50ft Luxury Yacht Tour in Miami Beach Captain, Fun & Party!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 45 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · whole boat $300, up to 13

Cruise Miami Beach with your private group of up to 13 on a roughly two-hour yacht outing. Expect waterfront homes, South Beach views, swimming, snorkeling gear, a floating mat, cooler, and bottled water. Captains such as Markus, Peter, Juan, and Mark have received strong praise, but boat condition and extra fees require careful checking.

“Markus was the captain we chose, he was awesome. I would pick him over again. As far as the boat company Dolphin Water sports, they contacted me the day before after the free cancellation window had closed saying they sent me contracts for the incorrect boat. There is no phone number to contact so you’re stuck trying to navigate the process via text. It made me super uneasy and apprehensive but what choice did I have since they sent it the day before. Keep in mind I had booked the boat weeks in advance. I won’t reuse this company.”
