5.00Captain Daniel gave us a great boat tour from the Miami River around the beautiful Biscayne Bay islands. We saw many amazing homes of the Rich and Famous. He was professional, friendly and enjoyable. The boat was the right size for my husband and me. It was clean and comfortable. Communication with the company and with him to book the trip and make meeting arrangements was easy. At the end of our journey when I realized my wallet had been left at a restaurant across from the marina, he was more than happy to ferry me over to retrieve it. We made this reservation only one day in advance. I feel lucky to have had such a wonderful experience.
Had a Blast!

5.00Captain Eli Sanchez was amazing. My daughter’s birthday was extra special because of him. My family had a blast. The only thing I would change is to already include the captain fee on the price. The additional cost did catch me by surprise. But it was worth it. We had fun.

5.00I highly recommend! 5/5 stars ⭐️ My husband and I had a wonderful trip with Captain Overlan. It was our first time and we had such a great experience. Captain Overlan was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made our Valentines gift relaxing, romantic, and memorable! The boat is so nice and clean. We played our own music and brought drinks & food. The views are amazing and so many photo opportunities. We loved it and would do it again. Thank you Captain Overlan! 🌊🛥️🏙️
