5.00Omar was terrific. He was kind, knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with during our late afternoon excursion on a perfect Miami day. The boat is in excellent condition and Omar showed us a range of great spots, homes, and views and made a point of finding the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset over the downtown skyline. He even arranged for a small school of dolphins to swim around us during the sunset 😂😂. It was a perfect way to enjoy another perspective of Miami and we wholeheartedly recommend the experience.
Great!
