Miami's Millionaire Row: VIP Yacht Tour & Star Homes Glimpse

Wife and I went on the 11am cruise. It was hot, but not as hot as it would be at 2pm. You get to see a lot of Miami harbor and all the different islands, houses and mansions. It lasted 90 minutes and was well worth it. The narration is in both English and Spanish. Definitely something to do while in Miami

Boat is nice and clean. Boat crew nice and polite but not much of a tour. More music and sight seeing with your eyes with a few callouts of places and homes. Hard to hear commentary in the cabin below so you do have to go upstairs if you want to get information about what you’re seeing.

What a fabulous way to spend 2 hours. Cruising around seeing all the amazing sights from the water. Very good guide explaining everywhere and everything.

A great experience on the water. Drinks were good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It’s was lovely to see the homes of the wealthy.

Super fun and amazing view of the skyline! Loved seeing and hearing about all the celebrity homes. They were so beautiful!

Easy to board. Lady we brought ticket from ( booth in bayside market near the boat) took us to the jetty . 11am sailing. Large boat with very few people ( less than 20) on so plenty of seats.and we could move all around to take pictures. We sat on top deck at back so could get both sun and cool breeze. Some interesting facts and good trip around the bay. As I say it's the kind of thing we like to do. The guide was clear and loud and spoke English ( think also spainish but didn't need to on our trip). Bar was a bit expensive but no different than other trips. But, there is a scam or selling scam on board. They run a raffle for a free holiday. We didn't enter as we from UK so didn't think a free USA holiday would be any use. We assumed it would be drawn at end of season but no, it was drawn on the day. Couple next to me won. They were excited ( for about 15 mins). They were taken downstairs but came back angry. It's not a prize draw it's a way to lure people into high pressure sales presentations , and part eith small amount on the boat. I assume for timeshare or similar. The saying if it's too good to be true then it probably is definitely applies to this free holiday draw. But we enjoyed the trip

There were no signs directing you to the boat! We finally found the boat & we’re told it was out of service & put us in a dingy smaller boat with no overhead coverage on top. It was crowded and the music they played was horrible. It was hard to understand the tour guide. It was a disappointing ride. We’ve been on many of this type excursion & this was by far the worst. We saw a few homes. Would not recommend this one. Low budget operation

Boat tour itself was fine. Direction on how to get to the dock was completely missing. I arrived at the address, it was a big mall and then had no idea where to go. And then voucher codes on the phone could not board, they had to be printed out so I had to walk to the booth. What a waste of time.

We enjoyed this cruise!! Although we weren’t familiar with many of the millionaires that owned the homes on the tour, it was still interesting to hear the stories. The guide, Jorge, was very knowledgeable. Overall, we would recommend!!

We did this tour as part of the Big Bus Tour. We had to first go to the Big Bus Kiosk at Bayside Marketplace to get our tickets, then go to the Island Queen Kiosk (10 steps next door) to get our tour tickets. The captain of the boat was amazing, and the tour guide was very detailed in his information. He did say everything in both Spanish and English. I can see how certain people would get annoyed at the repetition, but he did explain that there are A LOT of Spanish speakers in Miami. As others have said don't put your name in the draw or get pictures - they are more hassle then they are worth.
