    If I could do 0 stars I would. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt compelled to share this experience. My friends and I had a ride with Jorge, and from the moment we got in the boat , the energy was off. He was not welcoming at all--no greeting, no acknowledgment, just a cold and uncomfortable silence. Throughout the ride, his tone and body language were extremely passive-aggressive, making us feel like we were a burden rather than passengers. It was honestly one of the most unpleasant ride experiences I've had. A little kindness and professionalism go a long way, and unfortunately, that was completely missing here. He even spoke Spanish and said unkind things about us, not knowing that we were fully Spanish speaking. Would not want to ride with him again!!!

    ANDRE WAS OUR CAPTAIN he was absolutely amazing!!! He made our trip one of a kind !! The view was nothing less than BREATHTAKING!!! He stops to take pictures of you where ever you want and sets up the boat for the best view !! You can bring drinks and snacks on board he offers a cooler and lets you connect your phone to Bluetooth to listen to your favorite jams !! We seen celebrities houses and yacht worth 42 million dollars!! Next time I come to Miami I will be coming back here ! If you're questioning it ... DONT BOOK IT NOW WORTH EVERY PENNY ! Thank you ANDRE for an amazing experience!!

    Had the best time! Found them on Groupon. Got a boat for 4-6 people with a captain for two hours. Boat was in great condition. Champagne was delicious. Our captain, Yolepsy, was great! Very friendly and funny. Loved being able to see Miami from the water. Would definitely do this again! There's free parking in the area.

    Andre was our captain he was great he showed us some famous houses I couldn't belive they owned very down to earth I would come back again very happy thanks Andre.

    Just a beautiful sunny way to spend an amazing afternoon! We went out on a 16' boat for 2 with Juan. Fare was reasonable for 2 hours and definitely worth it! Juan was a decent driver, did a little speeding to add to the adventure but this was a calm, very romantic ride. We sat back and enjoyed a couples ride. Juan gave us his phone to play the speaker with our music choices so we DJ'd our ride. Juan navigated away from the larger vessels and we felt safe. We didn't get too too wet, although we did have to change after so just be prepared for that. We brought a bag of snacks. They provide "champagne " but it was a very cheap brand- don't expect quality there; I waited too late to ask about the choices we were already out on the water. All in all, trip was phenomenal just bring your own bubbly!

    So happy to find a reasonable boat rental business in the heart of Miami! We love visiting the city every year and now we have a pretty reliable spot to rent a smaller vessel (because we are not looking to rent whole yachts) their customer service delivery was great and no hassles, very accommodating as well. We originally booked a boat for four hours, but we asked to extend the time if nobody else was booked after and they obliged. The experience they provided when they let US drive our own boat was phenomenal because we got to experience Miami custom for us as we got to go to haul over sand bar, key Biscayne , and generally rode how we wanted. I like that they will in fact provide a captain to drive you around (if that's your thing too) but I appreciated doing business here with them and I plan to return to them when in town again! Thanks guys!

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I booked this trip for my honeymoon with my wife. On the day of the ride, I noticed that the forecast was rainy windy, the the tide was crazy. I mentioned this to the business owner, he said I had to show up to the appointment where the captain will make the call on whether or not to go. The captain is obviously being pressured by this business owner to do the ride so he gets his money. The entire ride the captain was telling me how this weather wasn't suitable for a tour. As soon as we made it out of downtown, we hit tides that were so rough the boat was hopping up and down in the water. Water was splashing into the boat soaking us. Then afterwards it started to pour on us. We were too busy flinching the entire time to have anything resembling enjoyment. The business owner had every opportunity to: - Reschedule the trip for another day - Cancel the trip and refund it, knowing that the experience was going to be terrible for the customer. - Refund me after the fact, knowing that my experience wasn't positive I told him multiple times throughout the day that the conditions were bad. We had been to the beach earlier and felt the winds that were 20mph with 35mph gusts. Instead, he chose to force me either to go or lose my money. Then when the inevitable happened and we got into rough waters, he gives you the generic "Weather is very unpredictable in Miami and it is something that is out of our control." 0/5, would give negative stars if I could. Don't listen to whatever lie he writes in his response. Book with a different company.

    Fantastic service I didn't take pictures of the boat I rented but it was a 21 foot. We live in Florida GET THE WEATHER INSURANCE- the team at Bruschi was kind enough to let us reschedule 2x times due to weather advisory. There were no pricing games everything was included Roughly $400/21ft for a half day with prop insurance weather insurance and fuel included

    Michael is awesome and really made my mom's birthday one to remember! He was patient in answering all of our questions and explained everything we needed to properly run the boat. He even showed my mom and I a super awesome snorkeling spot where we saw crabs, starfish and tons of beautiful fish! The boat is a little tricky to run at first but after a couple minutes you get the hang of it and it is so fun. I definitely recommend going to the sandbar if you have a six hour boat rental only, it takes some time to get there from the boat dock. Thank you again Michael!! I am so grateful for your help and guidance! My Moms birthday would not have been the same with out you! Feel free to follow my Insta @yasmine.brigitte for more Food, lifestyle favorites!!

She is always available and very responsive which is huge for me when I am planning anything. She reached out to me a week before our yacht day and there were some concerns she had with the yacht I originally booked and she called me with a solution already which was such relief for me. Many times when there are issues, people don't always have a solution right away, but she did and the yacht was awesome. We had a yacht with a jet ski and my husband had the best time.

I would recommend calling (vs. text) for faster response times. Mari was able to help our group of 30+ book a very luxurious yacht for a reasonable price. We also opted in for an open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres. To be honest, the food was better than anyone expected and no one was left hungry! The yacht also had Bluetooth connectivity for music but our group was able to bring our own music equipment to play on the deck. We also let the captain know before we set sail that we would like to jump in the water and he was able to dock mid-way to give everyone the opportunity to swim. The crew in general delivered exceptional service and helped create an atmosphere of luxury and relaxation throughout our voyage. This yacht charter was definitely the highlight of our group's trip and I highly recommend booking with Mari for an unforgettable and 5 star yachting experience.

I used WhatsApp and they respond really quickly. Just provide details like the day, amount of people and the time. You can also book through their website which I also did but WhatsApp was immediate service. We quickly found an option that fit our budget and they send over a contract to sign. A small deposit is due during the time you sign your contract with the remaining balance and tip on the day of your trip. They offer drink and food services but we opted to bring our own as they provide an ice cooler. Our captain, Daniel, was great. He texted me right before and we let him know we were running late. Our Uber dropped us off at the wrong location which made us more late but he still gave us our time back when he did not have to all. Once he helped us onto the boat, he asked where we wanted to go and took us to a small island with other boats. He also gives you full access to the music. They also have an option for a large floatie for everyone to lay out and relax on. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a private boat ride. Prices are very reasonable. Easily our favorite excursion on the trip!

The best part of the trip was how we had the boat exclusively to ourselves! I didn't know it'd be a private tour until the day I came. So, the boat was just a total of 3 people (captain included). The water temperature was great and the clarity was decent. We even saw two dolphins! You meetup at Whiskey Joe's at the marina and you can start your excursion immediately. I liked that you didn't need to wait around much. I was able to see some cool looking fish, a bottom feeder and a crab. You get 2 hours for the snorkeling and you're not required to wear any life vests (in fact, we weren't offered any and I didn't see any). The water is super shallow so it didn't seem dangerous at all. The water is also salty and easy to float in. The boat was nearby the main snorkeling area. The bad: The area for snorkeling was pretty small. It was an artificial reef where the fish were but outside of that area there is just seagrass and there's no living things to observe. The website says snorkeling starts at $75/pp and up but that's misleading b/c that's only the price if you have 8+ people. When I came to the marina, the worker who had me sign paperwork said that "$25/hour tip is required" when I got an email saying 15% tip is optional. My husband clarified and he said "yes, it's required" but later retracted his statement after I clarified that it was strange to give tip upfront before we even went on the excursion. However, I did already give 15% tip upfront on 50% of the value and then Zelled an additional $25 tip to the captain himself afterward. The cost for snorkeling ended up being $407 for 2 people (pricey). The interesting: The captain swam with us to lead us to the reef and then swam back and was mostly on his phone.

We called multiple times to obtain the information but they kept delaying the information as they did not have it since they had five other charter boats taking off. The staff in the pick up location informed us (and the captain of the boat confirmed) we were double booked! The prior boat group was scheduled to end at 5PM and we were scheduled to start at 4PM. But FEELING YACHTY never communicated this or apoligized for the tardiness. Aside from that the captain was great! But unfortunately, in the beginning of the boat tour the AC was not working on the inside and toward the end of the trip the water for bathroom and sink got shut off. We ended up getting on the boat since FEELING YACHTY does not provide a refnd or rescheuling. THEY ARE NOT FLEXIBLE AND DO NOT COMMUNICATE. You are better off with another company, heed my warning!
