The new owners turned the old marina into a clean welcoming space with lots of new boats. Keith our captain was knowledgeable, friendly and a very skilled sailor. Beach boat marina offers 2 hours up to a full day. we did 4 hours and time flew by! Our boat was a Sea Ray 29 I believe. Very spacious and a convenient pic nic table. Keith showed us a celebrity houses like DJ Khaled, Ricky Martins and took us to the sandbar where we chilled for a while. Prices are all included. No surprise hidden fees. They have a cooler filled with ice and water which is nice, and we brought our own booz. We'll be back. read more

Boat day was amazing, everything went well. Can't wait to be back, shout out to Keith for the time! (I meant to do this back in November when we went but I forgot) read more

Beach Boat Rental - Boating Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

First me and my girlfriend would like to say thank you for the experience we had a really amazing time. We rented the Baracuda it was a Super Sea Worthy new boat only 3 mths old. Staff was very helpful directly from the beginning by giving us directions to there lot, once there we were on the water in less then 10 minutes. Staff at dock gave very clear easy instructions on best routes and hot spots to check out . Owner meet us at the marina to fuel us up he was super cool snapped some pics of us and got us out of there super fast even gave us a FREE extra hour. Even after living in miami my whole life it's always beautiful seeing miami from that view, priceless. But let's get back to the review. OVERALL 5 STARS Owner and staff were very professional and I will definitely be renting from here again and when someone asks me where to rent boats from I'll send them right here ! read more

Beware of older and beat up boats. That is what they have. Beware of fuel pricing. "plus fuel" does not mean Plus Fuel, it means Plus Fuel Surcharge, which for 4 hours is $99. This is not explained upfront. Guy is nice guy. Boats are mechanically sound, just worn and dirty. I would pay more for more next time. read more

Man oh man where should I start! Had the time of my life in Miami this year! Stumbled across this boat rental place and decided to rent a boat! The owner was great he upgraded our boat at no extra price! To our surprise the system on this boat was awesome !! And our driver was great! Even though we where probably loud drunk and having a good time! I would most def go back and rent again! Thank you again! My friend are going may 5th weekend and recommended this place so awesome. read more

Beach Boat Rental - Boating Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Really nice company and great prices. John was very friendly and a really nice captain. Would def recommend!!

If I could give this a ZERO star, I would. Unbelievably unprofessional, rude service. The other negative reviews are spot on. Let me just give you my conversation with the owner over the phone, and then you can decide what you think: I had reserved a boat with this company the previous night, and it seemed fine. I wanted to continue shopping around, and accidentally called the same company again, because their phone number was LISTED ON A DIFFERENT WEBSITE that the owner is apparently not even aware of. When I accidentally called this place the second time, they recognized my voice, and said "you made a reservation with me yesterday. I am not exactly sure what you are doing. Explain this to me!" (all in a very angry, aggressive tone, as if I was being scolded by my father!). He then proceeded to say that he was deleting my reservation, and hung up on me abruptly. He then proceed to text me back asking me which websites I had been on, as if I was his subordinate. As a customer, we have the right to shop around, and I was honest about that as soon as I called. I am looking for the most competitive prices, thats all. I honestly consider myself lucky this conversation happened ahead of time over the phone, because I think if we had actually rented from this place, the staff would have made it a boating nightmare. read more

Unorganized, unprofessional, dirty boats. Spend the extra 50 bucks and get a boat that won't break down on you. Don't risk your day on this company. read more

We had the best experience with Beach Boat Rental! Anthony was accommodating from the very first phone call I made to reserve our boat during busy Labor Day Weekend. When we arrived, Spencer from BBR was equally knowledgeable and welcoming. He gave us a thorough tutorial, explained how to navigate around the beach, and gave us tips on different sites to see. At the end of the day, we were charged exactly what we were quoted initially--which is basically unheard of with many boat rentals! The icing on the cake was our beautiful and brand new 19 foot Barracuda motor boat. I HIGHLY recommend Beach Boat Rental and will be sure to rent again the next time I visit Miami! OTHER BOAT RENTALS ARE SUCH A HASSLE. THIS ONE WAS SMMOOOOOOTH. read more

We had so much fun with their Barracuda boat! We rented the boat for two hours and didn't get a chance to visit all the places on the map but that's because we chose to go tubing instead. This boat rental has one of the nicest tubes I've ever been in and the owner of this place is super friendly. read more

See all

What a great way to spend an afternoon, or maybe an entire day. Great location with easy access from I95, just minutes from downtown. I would recommend a tow hour minimum rental, so you have time to feel it out and get on the open water, anything less is just not enough time. Equipment is clean and modern, in addition to staff was amazing. Reservations via email were easy and detailed. Prices are very competitive. Was able to take some great pictures of marine life, star island and cruise ships. Absolutely the best way to see Miami is by water, can't wait to go back again. Give yourself a few extra minutes for parking in the area. read more

Horrible experience and equipment, old and beat up boats, staff is great but he has to call the owner for everything, had to wait for a long time for the owner to answer and show up, he is extremely rude, very negative and not helpful at all, blamed staff for everything (when the staff was extremely nice, patient and helpful) his prices aren't accurate to what they say on the phone, they don't have a certain price they charge whatever the owner wants to charge you, this man doesn't want business he doesn't care about the customers experience, highly recommend avoiding this location, this is the worse boat rental business in miami read more

We reserved a boat and when we arrived they told us we needed a captain which cost more money. We agreed and were then told they didn't have a captain until later. So we never got to go out on the bot after planning to do so. The employee was unapologetic and just gave thumbs up when we said we were leaving read more

From start to finish, Anthony and Caryssa were the ultimate professionals. Our yacht rental experience was fantastic. Being an out of town guest they made it easy for me to make all arrangements and not have any worries. All calls and questions were promptly answered. Anthony allowed me to ship items and have them available on the yacht for my guest. The captain and crew were amazing. From speaking with others on the pier I found that our captain was one of the best in the business. I highly recommend Beach Boat rental and I look forward to using their services again. read more

I had the best time cruising Miami's waterways, seeing the sights and feeling like a VIP. We had the music pumping, the sun shining and the wind in our hair. Best of all, there were very few other boats about - so no traffic! - and I got to Key Biscayne in the swiftest, most scenic way possible. It's fantastic that you can pick up a boat on South Beach - with none of the hassle of going to a port/harbour. Couldn't have been easier or more fun. read more

I had the most amazing time in Miami for the first time and capped it off with a beautiful cruising boat ride as a birthday gift with my friends and family. The owner Anthony was so very attentive and flexible with my plans because it was raining all weekend. He stayed in constant contact with me informing me of not only the weather but when it would be best for me to enjoy the boat ride. I had such a great experience with my friends and family. This by far was the most memorable birthday yet. Was so grateful that Anthony and Beach Boat Rental helped me celebrate my birthday in style. Will definitely patronize this business whenever I get back to Miami. read more

I live on South Beach and discovered this place one afternoon while on my way to poolside at 1 hotel. I'm also a freediver and rent boats with my friends regularly throughout greater South FL and the Keys. Best prices and customer service you can find anywhere around these parts for enjoying an afternoon on the water. Owners/operators are supper professional and customer oriented. For example, I recently had to make a late cancellation due to dear old 99L. No hassles whatsoever - unlike other local rental shops. read more

Best boat to charter with the best captain. We have chartered with Beach Boat Rental on a monthly basis over the past 3 years, and we are returning clients each time. I highly recommend chartering his modern and newest boat, the 33' De Antonio. It offers plenty of seating, plenty of lounging space, and Captain Anthony ensures a beautiful trip with the most safe journey. This boat always comes with a captain. He's got a great sound system and the boat is always super clean and ready for a fun day on the water. We love doing sunset or day trips and getting dropped off at fun waterfront restaurants. The boat comfortably fits 12 guests with plenty of spare room. Also, I love that this boat has teak decking which gives it a very polished style and look. You will love the contemporary feel and vibe. This is the best value in Miami for a memorable time with family and friends on the water. Not sure about the negative reviews, perhaps they just like to complain. We have chartered this at least 30 times over the past 3 years, and many of our friends have chartered it as well. We like to communicate with the company via text. If your on the fence if you should charter a boat...Its a must in Miami! Captain Anthony always takes us on scenic routes for day trips or sunset views. ENJOY, and don't forget to pack your rosé and picnic :) read more

Poor experience even if the owner seem to be a nice guy. Extremely dirty, old and damaged boats. Engine stops while making a curve. Such boats could not pass EU control. Definitely overpriced with what it is and be sure to define well the price before starting. no copy of your contract is delivered. (very home made concept). To conclude I was insulted infront of my family by a rude employee while giving back the crap boat. I definitely don't recommend this company read more

This guys don't have a certain price for hour on their boats and service the price depends on how much the owner wants to charge you also they tell you a price and after you finish the service they charge you the gas for double of the price they say at the beginning and if you try to get a reason why you are been charged that much ? you better have a lot of patience because this guys will give you the best example and explanation on why it is important to have a good education I don't recommend this service and business to anyone trust me I been able to experience other services on rental boats all around Miami and this one was the worst read more

These guys are the best in the area! They are very focused on making the customer happy. If you want a crazy adrenaline rush, ask to take the tube out... you will have the time of your life!! read more

My girlfriends and I went to Miami for a Bachlorette party and we were looking to take a boat ride during the day, after reading some reviews we took a chance and contacted captain Anthony at beach boat rentals. When we got to the boat we couldn't believe how beautiful the boat was (43 yacht ) it was flawless! Captain Anthony was so accommodating in every way possible What an amazing experience we had ! read more

WHAT A BLAST! We had some relatives in town and wanted to treat them to a boating experience on the bay and waterways. The experience was even better than any of us expected. We rented a cool red boat with a Bimini top (which was great for keeping out of the sun and rain). After a thorough briefing by the staff (guy was great...very easy to understand and helpful tips), we were on our way. The boat was as easy as pie to drive and the owner was a super nice guy too. The whole experience was as smooth as silk and the fun-per-dollar ratio was extremely high! STILL smiling...can't wait to go again! read more

My wife and I had a great day on the water.I am a boater, but not at all familiar with the area waters.The staff gave me a map of the area, and gave us some info on points of interest.We went to Key Biscayne and had a nice picnic lunch.We had dolphins swimming right on the side of the boat .It was easy to find the location and very close to South Beach. Nice way to spend a day. read more

Beware: negative experience, extremely poor service. Untrained and rude staff, place just doesn't want business. This is the story: my girlfriend and I were in Miami Beach at the end of January for marathon and thought to go kayaking on a beautiful Sunday evening. We called the place in advance to reserve the spot as it was getting late in the day (3pm). We arrived closer to 4pm and was asked to wait by the representative lady in the booth (just fine). After 10 minutes, we were told that kayaks were not ready and we needed to wait for the owner to bring them down. In the meantime, the lady said they can't store out belongings while we're in the water. Well, that's odd so we called the owner and he said they will store and representative should know that. We brought this up yet received rude confrontation and defensive stand that was just uncomfortable and uncalled for. We decided to wait for 5 minutes to have the kayaks be brought down but ended up waiting for 10 minutes while the wonder parked another boat and socialized with his friends. He knew we where waiting and could expedite the process. In the end, we left the place very disappointed after wasting 30 minutes in uncomfortable situation. I recommend avoiding this place! read more
