Never Again!
This was the worst experience ever. I will never do this again. Me and my boyfriend. His sister and her man decided to take this cruise because we thought it would be lovely AND THE REVIEWS TALKING BOUT “ PARTY BOAT “. The cruise was supposed to take off at 8:30pm and we didn’t leave until 8:51pm after stating there was a strict policy if you are late. It wasn’t fair for us to arrive early and have to wait for all the people who showed up late but still I was like ok. We did not buy anything on the boat at all. About 15 minutes into the cruise we were being told we had to turn around due to bad weather ( Remind you we only saw 3 houses ). The captain literally kept saying “ Do y’all want to go through that “ while turning the boat sideways then finally turns us around to head back. We were rained on that whole 15 minutes back. We were told to move to the back to “ prevent being wet “ but we ended up returning to our original seats because the rain was heavy everywhere. The captain is also very nasty. A champagne bottle was thrown off the boat and he literally started yelling at my boyfriend how it is a $5000 fine when he didn’t even throw it. He doesn’t even drink alcohol so the fact that he was blamed was ridiculous then I tried to tell him that it was not him that just threw that bottle and before I could even say which passenger it was he cut me off continuously yelling at him. My boyfriend said it was not him, I said it was not him and yes I did go back and forth because how are you going to tell me it’s dark, heavy rain, you saw him and WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE CHAMPAGNE!!!! Neither him nor I drink it so I found that very unprofessional. Also the one leading the boat decided to chime in and co sign when he didn’t even see anything. He was on the other side of the boat but when the captain started arguing all of a sudden he saw everything too. Yall gave someone free champagne and who fault is that ? Yours. They proceeded to throw it off the boat but who did you blame ? The one who wasn’t even given a bottle. I don’t play about none of my family and ain’t no one in this world going to yell and the top of their lungs and talk to one of them crazy especially when it wasn’t anything done wrong. I 100000/10 DONT RECOMMEND

It was absolutely...
It was absolutely horrible and such a disappointing experience. We weren’t even 5 minutes into the boat ride when it started pouring down raining terribly. The company didn’t provide any raincoats or protection for the customers, and there was no alternative plan whatsoever once the weather became that bad. We were basically left sitting there getting soaked, with no solution or accommodation offered. For the price we paid, the lack of preparation and customer service was unacceptable. I would not recommend this experience to anyone.
via Viator
No show
The boat did not show up at scheduled time and we could not contact anyone for the tour. If I could give zero stars I would.
via Viator
Misleading
Very misleading. It’s a water-taxi service that kind of duals as a tour. Not very informative and was pretty disappointing. If you want a cheap ride and just to see things then this is your tour. If you actually want information on what you’re seeing, choose another.
via Viator
Great budget boat tour...
Great budget boat tour option. However I did book the early morning tour option. Only to receive a message the morning of the tour that they were having difficulties and needed to push the booking back an hour. Then upon arrival for the rescheduled appointment, I was then told the tour wouldn’t be until 12:15. While during the last leg of the tour the boat’s motor kept stalling and shutting off causing not only me but the other riders a great deal of concern as we were still in the middle of the bay.

Miami Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.
How much does Miami Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes cost?
+
Prices start at $23 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 Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 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 Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 2,793 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Miami Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes?
+
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 Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Miami Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes?
+
Around 978 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 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Miami Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes 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-Hour Miami Private Boat Tour: Skyline & Star Island, The Official Art Deco Walking Tour by The Miami Design Preservation League, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami. 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.
What is included in Miami Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes?
+
Included: 75-minute Hop on Hop off cruise of Miami; Exclusive departure from South Beach Marina; and Exclusive departure from Bayside Market Place. Not included: Food and drink (available for purchase onboard); Gratuities; Parking (paid parking is available); and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Miami Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes?
+
Enter Bayside Marketplace and walk directly ahead to the water. Once at the water - turn right and head towards the Hard Rock Cafe. Water Taxi dock is down the stairs on the left at Mambo’s Bar. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Miami Skyline Boat Cruise and Millionaire's Homes?
+

+
