❗ Don't Be Confused by Miami Water Taxis

We are not a Miami water taxi — and we don’t pretend to be. Some Miami water taxis leaving from Bayside Marketplace try to pass themselves off as sightseeing cruises, but they don’t offer the full celebrity homes boat tour, bilingual tour guides, professional crew, Mojito Bar, or onboard amenities.

We are the original and official Miami Sightseeing Boat company, delivering real value every time. Just for you to be aware, we just want the best for you.
