5.00Honestly the weather wasnt on our side but the captain made the best out of it. It was a chill experience, the boat was very nice and we will totally do this again. It beats any "milliomaire boat tour from bayside" the cost was well worth it. Captain Eli is an amazing choice, if you get to pick.
Miami boat tour family style!!!

5.00Our family booked a 2 hour cruise using Eli as our captain and had a great time. Eli did a very good job ensuring that everyone on the trip got what they wanted: one of the kids wanted to go fast while another wanted to relax and enjoyed seeing manatees. There really is a skill to determining the interests of guests and giving them what they want and Eli nailed it. The booking response time from the owner was very quick and the boat was very clean and well-maintained. It's easy to see why this charter gets high marks.
