The operation
All-inclusive, with the gratuity named
The pricing page lists what the rate covers: a licensed captain, which is mandatory on every booking, fuel, taxes, safety equipment, a cooler, Bluetooth speakers, water and ice, a floating mat and inflatables, cleaning and insurance. The captain’s gratuity is the one thing paid separately, and the company publishes the figure, $40 an hour, rather than leaving it to the dock.
Four boats are listed: the Miami Boat, a 22-foot sport boat for up to six; Anchor & Chill, an Axopar 37 for eight; the Giant Comfort Boat, a 29-foot sport boat for up to eleven; and a 34-foot luxury boat for ten, with a Mega Boat added for larger groups. Cancellation is free seven days out, half refunded between three and seven days, and nothing inside three.
“No hidden fees on any boat rental.”
The site does not list captains by name; reviewers mention Captains Alberto, Matthew and Esteban.
The one to book
Sandspur "Raccoon" Island Tour
Sandspur Island sits in Biscayne Bay with a resident raccoon population that comes down to the waterline, which makes this the trip people actually remember. The run takes in the bay and usually a swim stop.
From $375 on the Miami Boat, $411 on the version with more time. Private bookings run $420.
