Wind-powered sailing on Biscayne Bay with wildlife spotting, sandbar time, and optional snorkeling. Small groups, snacks, and BYOB.
“My kids loved learning aspects of sailing and getting to “trapeze” off the side of the boat. Captain David is a professional educator, and it shows in every aspect of his interactions with us and our kids. We had a wonderful time!”
Miami to Key West by catamaran with coral reef snorkeling, open bar, and Mallory Square time. Long day, weather dependent snorkeling.
“We had a nice ride down to Key West! It’s incredibly beautiful! The crew on the boat were fantastic! It’s so pretty out on the water. There was a hurricane brewing close to Jamaica so the water was choppy. I was able to get in for just a few minutes and had to get back out. I have been snorkeling before and this was a different experience. I did enjoy the sailing and we had a pod of dolphins come right up to the boat! The drinks were good and we loved the music. I would do this again if the water was calm. I was disappointed about the snorkeling.…”
Beginner-friendly snorkeling and SUP near Miami, raccoon island wildlife time, small groups, and gear rental included in 3 hours.
“It all began with the calm, rhythmic waves gently lapping against the kayak. As we paddled out, the serenity of the water was like a mirror and we reached to an island The transition from kayaking to boating was seamless, with the salty sea back waters and catching glimpses of playful dolphins in the distance. But the real magic came when we anchored the boat and jumped in for snorkeling. Beneath the surface, an entire world of vibrant coral and curious sea creatures awaited. Schools of fish darted between rocks, their colors sparkling in the sunlight that filtered down through the crystal-clear water. Floatin...”

Private Miami boat tour with Bluetooth music, snorkeling at Haulover Sandbar, raccoon island stop, and dolphin spotting, plus scenic celebrity views.
“It stormed during our entire 2 hour ride. Not sporadic showers but pouring rain the entire time. The captain was the only person with shelter. My friends and I were forced to endure a miserable 2 hours being pelted by rain. Instead Of canceling the trip the captain essentially forced us to endure the ride. I could not cancel because they would not refund me. The captain watched us sit miserably and instead of canceling she continued just to keep the money. The company and viator refused to issue even a partial refund. I wouldn't recommend this to my enemy”

Meeting instructions were clear and perfect, he answered every question I had. we met and the day was awesome. well equipped, well stocked, very clean and beautiful boat. Patrick was also very kind witty, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable! He navigated the ocean very well and made sure we were always comfortable and safe! The music was on point, atmosphere was lively, and we'll stocked drinks!”

“Para los futuros viajeros a Miami: No cojan tours. He hecho uno de medio día y éste de tres días. Los dos tours hechos en Miami ciudad no cumplen para nada las expectativas. Solo te llevan a Winwood con una parada de 10 minutos, no te pasan por el barrio de diseño que está al lado, tampoco te llevan a Coconut Grove ni a Brickell. Te hacen una parada en la calle 8 (Little Havna) donde tienen la comisión de la comida y no te dan explicaciones de que ver ni nada. Tienes que llevar tu preparado un poco el mapa de la calle para saber donde está el Dominó…”

Full-day Key West trip from Miami with Dolphin Watch plus snorkeling gear, a comfy coach, and plenty of time in Key West to enjoy the water.
“The best part of taking a coach bus to Key West is someone else taking care of the driving. The disappointment is the return trip departs Key West at 5:30 or 6pm ET, which even in winter is before the famous Key West sunset. Nevertheless, the cool Key West vibe is a true bucket list experience, and I enjoy it every time.”
Beginner-friendly snorkeling on Biscayne Bay from a private yacht, with a stop at a secluded sandbar island. 2 hours, $299.
“Nice boat ride to see beautiful scenery of the bay. But the place where we stopped for snorkeling was somewhere in the middle of the bay which was too deep to see any fish. Plus the water was murky and almost nothing was visible below. So in other words, nice tour guide and boat captain and boat ride, but no real snorkeling.”
