We had a wonderful tour around Miami. Captain Louis did a great job and was very informative about the local history of the islands. The boat was comfortable. Our only problem was the day was very windy and we couldn’t visit Biscayne National Park and Stiltsville, one of the main reasons we booked the tour, due to the weather conditions. Louis made up for it with visits to other sites in the area. I would recommend Ocean Force Tours for a fun way to see the sites around Miami.

This was one of the best days I’ve had in ages! Captain Louis was friendly & extremely knowledgeable regarding the landmarks and local history. The boat offers one of the smoothest rides I’ve ever experienced on the water. I would definitely recommend this tour to not only tourists, but for locals as well that want to get out on the water and see a different vantage point of beautiful South Florida.
Five Stars!!

Collin, our captain made the tour of the Bay Area a highlight of our vacation. The day started out with sunshine and a light breeze and we were excited to see and hear all about the Miami area. Thirty minutes into our tour a heavy storm blew in and Collin quickly made the decision to reroute. With our permission, he took us to a quaint little Yacht Club to wait out the storm and to have lunch. We had so much fun acting as if we were locals and enjoying the views of the water while staying undercover and dry!
Our group was so appreciative that Ocean Force Adventures was so willing to accommodate us by changing the itinerary in order to keep us happy and dry. I highly recommend this tour. The boat was extremely clean and the service was over the top!

Our original tour was cancelled due to a thunderstorm and rescheduled for the next morning. It ended up being just two of us for the rescheduled tour which was about 1.5 hrs not 2 hrs as advertised. The high speed boat ride was enjoyable and we even spotted a few dolphins in the water while touring the islands around Miami Beach, particularly the fisher island and the mansions as well as the stiltsville at the northern tip of the Biscayne National park. Our captain Brandon was very very nice and offered to take multiple pictures for us at each stops. And I did not get seasick (which I was worried about) or wet. Overall it turned out to be a private tour for my son and I with nice vantage point from the water of the area. However, we felt the much of the information was cursory. The boat ride (a very expensive one!) was the main highlight of the tour not the information part usually expected to be gained from a paid guided tour. Possibly because we had a newer less experienced captain not captain Collins or Louis who other reviewers raved about. It was a nice experience with a very nice captain but we did not feel that it was a good value for the price and wished we had learned more.

We are delighted you were able to reschedule after inclement weather forced cancellation of your Small Group tour. It seems overall you enjoyed Captain Brandon and what turned out to be a private tour experience for you and your son. However, we are perplexed that you felt our tour content did not fulfill your expectations and that our pricing did not match your experience --a first in our 12 years of business and more than 650 reviews. Our personalized small group and private tours (only 6 passengers) are built to tell the story of Miami from its inception in the 1800s to the global destination it has become today, via the sights we visit. To do this, we cover almost 40 miles of the bay in 2 hours, going far beyond the standard routes of other Miami tours and our pricing reflects this. Captain Brandon, who has been guiding our tours for more than 8 years, is well-versed in the delivery of the tour's historical perspective as well as the many colorful stories Miami is famous for. Born and raised in Coconut Grove and a lifelong marine enthusiasts, his knowledge of the more natural areas and marine habitat is exceptional. His many years of past reviews can attest to this. One thing we strive for on our experience is the ability to personalize and craft our content towards each customer's interests, garnered throughout the tour via questions and commentary. Perhaps Captain Brandon misunderstood your interests and we apologize for that. We hope you will try us again should you return to Miami in the future.

Although this tour is pricey, if you can swing it it's totally worth it. The staff is wonderful to work with - I had to change my date once I was in Miami due to high winds - and Captain Lois is a great tour guide. He grew up on the bay and knows all sorts of fun details and interesting facts. Be sure to take sun screen, as there is no shade on the boat. We saw Miami from a beautiful perspective and the water is such a gorgeous shade of blue it's like we were in the Caribbean. Highly recommend this option - best part, no traffic!!

A highlight of Miami trip!
We went on a speed boat. Captain Brandon was so super knowledgeable and gave us lots of trivia facts about Miami- including where to go, facts about buildings, facts about Miami relative to its rise and popularity. Big thanks for the hospitality and make sure to keep an open ear for his witty commentary. We also got lots of fun time together and pictures too!

Thank you for the recommendations and fun :D

My son and I were fortunate to have the 3pm tour on 8/18/2021 all to ourselves! Our Captain is a seasoned pro who toured us all over the Miami waterways and explained the interesting history as we experienced Miami from a whole different perspective. He is a great guide and has a very easy going demeanor so it seemed like we were hanging out with a friend for two hours.

Awesome experience I highly recommend to anyone looking to do a tour of Miami in a smaller, faster vessel with personal interaction rather than those big slow boats where all you hear is a voice over a loud speaker...

What a fun way to see Miami from the water!! We zipped around quickly on the water in our semi private tour with a very knowledgeable captain and super fun boat!
The seating is unique, your legs straddling a chair with a grab bar in front like riding a horse.
When a rain shower came upon us, we ducked under a bridge to wait it out...such fun!

Our family had an awesome time on this not so typical boat tour around Miami and Biscayne Bay. We were in Miami for just a few days before continuing on to the Keys and even with a particularly rainy forecast, Kimberly still managed to find us a window of decent weather for our tour. We covered so much ground on the tour, and Captain Collin was very knowledgeable about what we saw and answering our questions. He took us around Star Island, Fisher Island, Miami's waterfront, the cargo ship area and out to my favorite - Stiltsville out in Biscayne Bay.

By water is the best way to see Miami and nothing better than Ocean Force Adventures. We left right on time and Captain Brandon made sure we knew all of the safety features on the boat and provided water. We explored Miami, all of the surrounding islands and cruised out to Stiltsville - a must see!! Captain Brandon was very knowledgeable about the area and provided all of the information needed to make the trip enjoyable. This was one of the top highlights of our visit and would highly recommend!!
