Great tour
We had a great few hours with capt Isaac. We started off going to raccoon island. We had to swim from the boat to the shore so we’re glad we had packed our waterproof phone holders. We fed lots of raccoons who liked our nuts and dried fruit much more than the fresh fruit. They also wanted fresh water. We did also get bitten by mosquitoes on the island. We then went off for a tour round the bay including billionaires bunker. We saw manatees and dolphins which was awesome. The boat was comfortable but we did get very wet at the front so it’s worth keeping bags further back. There was no toilet on the boat so go before you leave! We had a great trip thank you Isaac.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Miami Boat Tour to Raccoon Island and Sandbar (Private 2 or 4 Hr): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.
How much does Miami Boat Tour to Raccoon Island and Sandbar (Private 2 or 4 Hr) cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Miami Boat Tour to Raccoon Island and Sandbar (Private 2 or 4 Hr) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Miami is not rushed.
Is Miami Boat Tour to Raccoon Island and Sandbar (Private 2 or 4 Hr) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 131 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Miami Boat Tour to Raccoon Island and Sandbar (Private 2 or 4 Hr)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Miami Boat Tour to Raccoon Island and Sandbar (Private 2 or 4 Hr) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Miami Boat Tour to Raccoon Island and Sandbar (Private 2 or 4 Hr)?
+
Around 46 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Miami can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Miami Boat Tour to Raccoon Island and Sandbar (Private 2 or 4 Hr) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Miami within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Miami?
+
Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 hrs Miami Private Boat with Cooler, Ice, Bluetooth Stereo, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami, Miami: 2 Hour Private Yacht Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Miami?
+
November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Miami?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
