About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- yanx20250 contributionsWe were scammed out of our money.We had an absolutely terrible experience at this shop. First, we paid for the jet ski for one hour ride, but we only got to use the jet ski for half an hour, and they completely failed to deliver the photo service we requested—this was entirely their fault. Since we were leaving the next day, they promised a refund if we emailed them, just to pacify us at the moment. However, after we emailed them, they refused to issue a refund and totally obey our agreement. The chances of us coming back to use the credits are almost zero. We lost about $430 in total—a truly awful experience. Stay away from this dishonest business. Don’t let unethical practices slide!Written January 4, 2025
- 868guneetk0 contributionsABSOLUTE SCAMWe thought this option would be $15 for the entire jet ski experience, but it was actually $15 for a 20% discount; you would still have to pay for the jet ski. Lots of details in fine print; would definitely not recommend unless you want to waste moneyWritten December 26, 2024
- Kavita M0 contributionsViator scams you- watchfulThe Viator people scammed the whole deal. I specifically called and inquired about the combo package and the price. I was told $39 (unbelievably attractive) price was to cover both activities. We end up spending 10 times more money as it turned out that the price listed and promised covered only reservation. The activity itself was amazing but I advise do not get trapped with the false claims and non transparency.Written November 29, 2024
- Denis P0 contributionsBad Banana tubingI give 2 stars only because it took us a quick ride. Minus 3 stars because the price was listed as $29, when we called, they also told us it would only cost $29, but when we arrived, it had already become $89, when we started asking why, they told us: "Okay, we can give you a discount and charge you only $69." They said they would take us on a ride for 30 minutes, but in fact they took us on a boat for 5 minutes and only took us on a ride for 15 minutes.Written October 27, 2024
- Adventure055972793810 contributionsNot worthThe trip didn’t meet expectations. The price was misleading, and the ride time didn’t match what was advertised. We rode for 15-20 minutes, not 30! The 30 minutes included the time to get to the spot and the return trip. Be aware that the actual cost is not $29 but $79-$89.Written October 27, 2024
- Orhan Ö0 contributionsGreat place to rent beach catamaransI really enjoy renting catamarans here. The catamarans are in good condition, the sailing area is amazing, and the people who work there are honest and make sure you have a good and safe experience. My review would have been a 5 star review, but it is just that I do not find the fee structure favoring the customer. After the first hour, the fee increments are in 30 mins buckets. I believe it would be a more pleasant experience for the customers if it were “1 hour minimum and then pay as much as the duration after 1 hour.”Written September 27, 2024
- Tonia E0 contributionsRefused refund due to act of natureRefused refund when I couldn't fly in due to June 14th flooding of entire area. I couldn't change vacation dates. Act of nature should be a reason for refundWritten August 1, 2024
- mwilly10080 contributionsAwesome Experience with Great PeopleWe had a great time celebrating a birthday with Miami Watersports. Manuel and Rogelio were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Rogelio was a great teacher and taught me how to sail their catamarans in only 30 minutes. The guys are very patient and friendly and the spot is in a great location. We would definitely go back and try more activities.Written June 30, 2024

- 354vilyas0 contributionsBEWARE of an additional $50 fuel surcharge!!!!! BEWARE of an additional $50 fuel surcharge on the spot after the initial registration payment !!! Otherwise, my son enjoyed this activity and could get up on the first try.Written May 31, 2024
- AnthonyL38630 contributionsJust not a good timeNot as advertised. It is not thrilling, and the boat pictured is not the boat they use. We had a dinger version of this experience. Captain doesn't speak or entertain at all, which you think they would to earn a tip from the riders. SIghtseeing????? They took us by three houses and turned around. I'm sure this at one point might have been a great time, but it is a money grab from tourists. They are lucky their business doesn't depend on repeat business, cause if they did........they would be out of business.Written May 19, 2024
- 641debbiea0 contributionsNot what was advertisedThe experience was fun however we booked through Viator for $35.00 a person but when we got there we had to pay another $30 per person. It showed a speed boat but we were on an inflatable. It said approximately 60 minutes and it was a total of 30 minutes. Fun but misleading!Written April 30, 2024
- 767jakek0 contributionsMisleading PriceCAUTION: Price does not include a $50 / person surcharge once you get there. Price is misleading. However, we had a great time and it was a very fun exepiernece. Great time otherwise, fun experience.Written April 22, 2024
- rgpm70 contributionsI felt like IronManHad another incredible adventure with Miami Water Sports, this time trying out flyboarding after thoroughly enjoying jet skiing and speed boating on previous visits. Flyboarding with them was nothing short of exhilarating. It felt like being a superhero, soaring above the water! There’s definitely a learning curve, but the instructors were patient, offering clear guidance to help us get the hang of it. They prioritized safety without compromising the thrill. The equipment was top-notch, and the experience was surreal, offering unbeatable views of the Miami coastline. It’s an activity I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for an adrenaline rush and a unique way to experience the water. Miami Water Sports continues to impress with their variety of water activities and exceptional service.Written February 3, 2024
- rgpm70 contributionsBest speed boat experience!Just came back from an awesome day with Miami Water Sports, where my girlfriend and I tried out their speed boat after having a blast on the jet skis last time. We were looking for a bit of adrenaline and, boy, did we get it. The speed boat was an absolute thrill ride, cutting through the waves with power that had us both laughing and screaming in excitement. The staff were super friendly and made sure we felt comfortable and safe before we set off. The boat itself was in great condition, and navigating it was a highlight of our trip. It’s not every day you get to speed across the water with such an amazing view of Miami. Definitely a memorable experience and worth every penny for the adventure and service we receivedWritten February 3, 2024

Initially purchased this deal from Groupon (parasailing & tubing for $75 after applying and extra coupon) stood on a confused gathering (that definitely wasn’t a line) for a good 10 minutes until a skinny lady kept yelling “if you’re parasailing come with me. Of course we followed her and told her we had a Groupon deal, she dismissed it immediately saying it was cut off 10 minutes ago, even after explaining that we were online she was very abrupt and dismissive and informed us that the boat is waiting to depart and it’ll be $95 just to parasail . I was FURIOUS... however we paid (&even while filling out the consent forms she kept rushing the young man who helped us) and went. Thankfully her hostile behavior didn’t deter me because the entire staff aside from her were extremely pleasant. Our captain Al and co-captain Sam were thorough and informative... & FUN. We were also lucky to be among an awesome group as well , everyone wore their masks and we had a little music as well. Parasailing was sooo much fun !! Will def do it again. Also, if you can , purchase a plastic case for your phone with a string to go around your neck . Taking your own pics while you’re hanging out 400 ft above ground is def more beautiful .

Went for parasailing with 2 kids on the last sortie of the day. Kyle and Eric were amazing guys. We had a 7 year old daughter with us, and were not sure how she would take it. At the end of the ride, she wanted to do one more. Speaks volumes how comfortable Eric/Kyle makes the people who take this event. Safety was at the best as they explained in detail how we are going to do it, very professional/friendly, witty and overall had a great experience with them. There were no rush with 10 (6 of them were couples and we were family of 4) people on board, and everyone on board had ample amount for the activity. And we take the options of photos, and there were some amazing clicks as well. If you look for an amazing parasailing experience, I would definitely recommend to do it with these guys.

Kyle and Sam we're an awesome crew and they made it really fun.
The reason I only gave this three stars is that I booked it on get your guide and paid 85.00 dollars per person and it said you get to parasail for 15 minutes. When you actually arrive they charge you another 58.00 dollars per person and it is only a seven minute parasail ride. Overall it was still fun, but the booking is very misleading. They should be more transparent.

First off, the wave-runners are a waste of money, they are slow and reach about 32mph. Let alone, when you arrive there will be various additional fees being applied just to ride the garbage and you will need to take a boaters test. Another issues was that I had paid a $200.00 deposit for jet skiing. It has been 8 business days and I still have not received my refund. Let alone, the person I talk to informs me that I received a confirmation email and I did not. Due to her being frustrated, she consistently hangs up the phone in the middle of a conversation about understanding why I have not received my refund. People who support this business with be nothing but a number to them, they are nice receiving your money but when you need them, they DO NOT CARE!

I came here the day before my birthday. This is my first solo trip and I decided to live it up, so I decided to try parasailing. I was extremely nervous but the Captain Tom and Sam were amazing! They made me laugh, which eased my nerves a little bit. They were so friendly and funny and made the experience a thousand times better! As we were pulling out of the dock Captain Tom started playing the Jaws them and that cracked me up. Captain Tom even had everyone sing happy birthday to me, and that made me smile so much. I highly recommend them if you are considering parasailing. It was one of the most beautiful and peaceful experiences EVER! I want to come back to Miami just to do this again! Thank you guys so much!

TOM & LANDING were amazing, very knowledgeable and entertaining! I felt so safe with them. They did this job in a way that I could tell this is not just a job for them they actually enjoy doing this. Our photos were amazing, I would recommend everyone to purchase the photo package they were instantly downloaded to my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I cannot wait to visit again.

It wasn’t what we expected. We paid an additional $120 when we arrived. Had a 2 hours wait and parasailed for less then 10 minutes. The time in the air was great. Just felt ripped off . We expected one hour not one hour divided among 10-12 people. $300 for 6 minutes of parasailing. Although it was a fun 6 minutes not worth that cost.

We are happy to see that you had a good time on our parasailing experience even considering your disappointment concerning our pricing.
You are getting one hour boat ride with a flight in the parachute lasting between 6 to 10 minutes, coming up to $129 + taxes per person.

My family and I were on vacation from MA and decided to do parasailing last Thursday 08/26/2021. Both captain Tom and Sam were awesome!!!! Not only did they entertain us all, especially my 7 and 10 year old girls… but they also gave me tips on not to get motion sick. I totally recommend. Well done!!!! 👏🏽😊

5 stars!!!!! Captains Tom and Sam did a great job explaining how to parasail along with their corny jokes and smiles. We had so much fun on the boat, even after our turn in the air was long over. Super professional and safe! Highly recommend to everyone!

I booked a long ago and at the day we showed we were poorly received. The lady that attended us charged extra $63 each person for gas. She asked us to wait an hour and when we came back she was rude and said that their boat for parasailing didn’t pass the inspection. THEY DONT REFUND!!! We ended up using the gas fee for other activity and kayaking that day.

Hi, what’s the departure time? Thanks
Written February 4, 2022
I think they said 10:00. They might be a few minutes late depending on how many people there are. But not matter what time time it was, I didn’t have to wait long. They will send you an e-mail after you buy a ticket with all the information.
Written February 5, 2022
I just ordered 2 tickets and there is no time slot to choose from, only "express pass". Does that mean we can come any time we want while you're open? Or is there an actual specific time to board?

I have two seven-year-olds that would like to go parasailing, but I myself do not like heights. Do I have to do it also for them to do it? Or can I just stay on the boat and watch?
Written June 24, 2021
You should be able to stay on the boat and watch. It will hold up to 3 people. If not sure, you can call and they will tell you.
