      Most Excellent Ride
      You will NOT be disappointed in taking this adrenalin rush tour ride. The minute the safety slow zone area was traversed, the fun began. The boat captain was truly in charge and at one with this massive speed boat! The tour guides information was delivered in a very entertaining way. Enjoyed it so much on the City Pass, we booked it again at the end of our stay. That's how much we loved it!

      Excellent Ride
      My wife and I had a great time on the Thriller Miami boat. The driver and annoucer on the boat were both great. They took time to tell us information and history about some of the islands in the bay and also gave us an exhilarating ride through the waves. Will definetly do it again when we come back.

    Absolutely brilliant, loved every minute. Weather was perfect, a pleasant 23c, cloudless sky and the views of Miami from the water were breathtaking. The driver knew exactly when to speed up and slow down to get the right feeling of ‘a ‘Miami Vice’ recreation 😀. The ability to get close to Star Island and other Miami landmarks was a massive bonus and the narration of the host was both comical and informative without being boring. I thoroughly recommend this trip, it’s essential to anyone spending time in Miami, if you want to see the sights, which you won’t be able to see by car.

    Our experience with Thriller Miami was incredible. From the moment we boarded the speedboat, the energy was electric. The crew was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt safe while also hyping us up for an exciting ride. As we zoomed past Miami’s iconic sights, like Star Island, Fisher Island, and South Beach, the views were stunning. The boat itself is impressive—fast, sleek, and perfect for an adventure. Our guide provided fun facts and stories about the celebrities who live on the islands, which added an interesting twist to the ride. But the best part was the adrenaline-pumping speeds and thrilling turns that left us laughing and cheering the whole time. If you’re looking to see Miami from a unique perspective and want an experience full of fun, excitement, and breathtaking views, I highly recommend the Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventure. It’s a must-do for anyone visiting Miami.

    Overall it was a good experience for the family and was thrilling at times when the Capt. could safely go full throttle. The ‘tour’ element wasn’t as good as we were hoping mainly because we were certain if said you would go down to South Beach and the guide even said at the start we’ll see the long white sandy beaches of Miami Beach but the furthest we went was to Star Island which is practically no further than the Port of Miami area which must be amazing when there are cruise ships in port but sadly for us there was non. The guide however was knowledgeable, fun and engaging.

    Things to be mindful of. They play the music loud. When I say loud I mean over 100 decibels for more than 20 minutes which is actually considered dangerous for human hearing. I’m not being a prude - just stating a fact. I do however a job which is dependent on passing annual hearing tests so I’m probably more acute to things like this than others. Seat belts are provided and despite the extensive waivers you are made to sign there wasn’t much of a safety brief but it did feel safe and secure at all times which was good.

    And a plea to the ladies. Please tie your hair up! The rows of seats are close together and for the whole trip I had a lady’s hair hitting me on the face. It was braided Afro hair whipped the side of my face hard at times. This sadly did impact of my personal experience.

    It’s a shame Bayside parking is horrendously priced as you can only really access this area by car if you are staying outside downtown but that obviously has nothing to do with the businesses here - just something else you have to factor into your budget (it was $10 an hour).

    A nice change from the more standard (and slow) boat cruises. Not that expensive in Miami terms, about $45. Standard spiel, nothing special, but a beautiful setting and lots of fun.

    You can easily find $5 off coupons in hotels or anywhere that has those brochure kiosks. Bring those savings with you in cash, because they are unpleasantly aggressive about tips. The minute you sit down, the guide is talking about how he will be talking about tips, lol, and how they are dependent on tips and how tips are their livelihood and how the baby's going to die if you don't tip - okay, I made the last one up, but their shame game is strong.

    If you clearly 100% expect a tip from every person, you might want to mention that before I'm on the boat. Lots of people don't routinely carry cash! Add a line to the information section: if our tour guide does a great job, please consider tipping them. A gentle and timely reminder when it matters most: before we're on the boat. I did tip, but the guilting and the aggressive thrusting of a giant bucket in my face really tempted me not to.

    We had no trouble buying four tickets on site for a tour about an hour away, but we went on a weekday.

    This was my third time here on this tour and right now we got a green boat I I’ve been before on yellow and orange. They were great. It’s very nice. Feeling very speedy. You got a splash you got you got a fun.
    But here on green boat, it’s terrible It’s too high, probably so many people can sit in so they can take more money and the feeling is not right. Whenever people come to visit me in Miami I bring them there, but this is very bad. It’s not worth $45 for a green one. Trust me first ask what boat are you gonna get.

    Myself and my wife are on a florida road trip and had decided to spend 3 days in miami.
    We did a lot of searching for things to do in miami and saw the ad for the thriller boat trip.
    Everything was organised very professionally and the boat trip itself exceeded our expectations, what a thrill.
    We we're shown the millionaire houses,the cruise ship terminal and got a great view of the miami sky line all from the boat.
    The guide gave us plenty of running commentary and gave us plenty of warning when the boat was going to open up to top speed, 160 mph was mentioned, what a blast, well worth the money and not to be missed.
    Thank you thriller ride for giving us a memory not to forget.

    I clicked May 2024 for a visit because it was the last time I was there. We have purchased tickets for the triller going on 5 times now I believe. Living local it is a great fun Miami thing to take visiting friends and family to! Everyone loves hearing about what celebrities live in the houses and learning some of the local history of Miami. The staff is always so fun and informative playing great music on the trip and sometimes depending where you sit on the boat you get hit with a little ocean spray! Very fun activity.

    It was absolutely AMAZING! We had Elijah and Luiz as our captain and if I did it again I would request to ride with them AGAIN. Luiz made the ride extremely fun with the turns and dips, Elijah kept the jokes coming. They are both extremely experienced in what they do and care about the safety of the passengers and also having a good time. I would definitely recommend and do it again!!!!

    My wife and I came to Miami and did a lot of touristy things, this was by far the most fun per dollar spent. We are avid boaters at home on inland lakes and really enjoyed the experience. Our captain did a nice job with a throttling ride and the narrator did a great job pointing out sites when we weren’t doing 40 miles per hour.

    This was a great experience. We originally booked this trip for Tuesday but because of bad weather they let us move our boat tour to the Thursday which was much appreciated as we only had a few days in Miami. The speed boat did go fast but we didn’t get very wet so no need to worry about getting off soaked. Do wear sun cream if it’s a hot day, when visiting the celebrity islands the boat slows down and it can get quite hot. The tour staff were funny and looked after us. Well worth the money.
