Details

Miami Beach, Florida, offers a unique blend of vibrant cityscape and coastal water adventures, making it a prime destination for boat enthusiasts. Aquarius Boat Rental stands out as a premier service providing an array of customizable boating experiences across some of Miami’s most sought-after waterways. From cruising the luxury enclaves of Haulover Sandbar and Indian Creek, infamously dubbed the “Billionaire Bunker,” to intimate trips around Star Island and Hibiscus Island, the company curates trips that offer a dynamic connection with Miami’s waterfront culture.

The salt-kissed air and calm bay waters create an ideal setting for their Giant Comfort Boat and Luxury Boat rentals that comfortably accommodate groups eager to take in the city’s iconic skyline. Their Miami Sunset and City Lights tour adds a special sparkle to evenings with champagne included, making it a favored choice for celebratory outings. Aquarius Boat Rental’s selection of tours also extends to nature-focused Wildlife Adventures, offering a glimpse into the diverse flora and fauna of the region, including rare bird species and manatees.

For those who prefer hands-on experience, boating lessons provide practical skill-building led by knowledgeable guides, preparing newcomers for independent navigation in Miami’s busy waterways. Seasonal events like the 4th of July Fireworks tours transform the experience into an unforgettable night on the water.

Aquarius Boat Rental’s service anchors itself as a vital link to Miami’s outdoor recreation, offering seamless access to natural and cultural highlights unavailable by land. Its local knowledge combined with high-quality, comfortable vessels elevates every outing, whether it’s a serene day at Raccoon Island or a high-energy cruise through Brickell and the Port of Miami.

This is more than boat rental—it’s a gateway into Miami’s waterborne pulse, one that invites visitors and residents alike to engage with the city’s unique aquatic lifestyle.

Arrive Early for Lesson and Tour Briefings

Give yourself time to get familiar with your vessel and safety protocols before heading out on the water.
