“The overall experience was good not great. The yacht was clean and comfortable. We were expecting to see more nature and swimming in open waters but this trip is about the sightseeing of Miami skyline and mansions. Really not interested in that. The crew mate Layling Briceno was very helpful and had smile on her face. The captain (Diaz) of the yacht had good knowledge about the boats and city but he was not interested or was proactive to make this trip memorable. We had to ask about the things that could be done and not wasting our four hours just sitting in the yacht.”

“I was so excited being that the description was everything I wanted. Upon arrival I seen a boat not yacht pulling up. I started to pray. Hoping this wasn’t what I paid for. This was a nightmare experience and I was extremely disappointed. After the boat arrived I try calling to and there was no answer anymore. I was completely scammed. This is extremely disappointing and very devastating. The boat was dirty with worn out equipment. It had a very bad smell. One bathroom out of order and I didn’t fell comfortably at all.”
Pick the boat, the hour on the water or the country.
