Excellent experience and guide gave detailed explanations during the trip. Recommend this experience to anyone interested in this boat cruise around Miami bay.
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time exploring Biscayne Bay with us. Our guides take great pride in sharing the history, landmarks, and stories that make our waterfront so special, so it’s wonderful to know those detailed explanations made your trip memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on the water again soon!
The tour was about 90 mins long and you get to see quite a bit. The inside seating was nice with the ac. The guide was great. Lots of information and was very entertaining. Drinks were pricey but no different than any place around that area. The seats were comfortable. The only issue, during the cruise they say they have a raffle to win a prize. And the prize is a free vacation. They target specific people and try to talk you into coming to a two hour sales pitch. They were very pushy to get you to agree to come to their sales pitch. They offered to pay for an uber ride. It sounded sketchy so we said no and they moved on to the next people.
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the cruise, our knowledgeable tour guide, and the comfortable seating. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the vacation raffle. The promotion is offered by a third-party partner and is completely optional, but we're sorry to hear you felt the approach was too pushy. We'll be sure to share your comments with our partner. Thank you for sailing with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

A perfect 90 minutes on the water around Miami/ Miami Beach. Got to see some cool houses and a different perspective of Miami from the water.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy you enjoyed your 90 minutes on the water and got to experience Miami from a whole new perspective. Seeing the beautiful waterfront homes and iconic skyline is always a highlight, and we're glad you had a great time. We appreciate you cruising with us and hope to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable sightseeing adventure soon!
We booked this on a whim to wrap up our girls’ weekend, and it was so much fun. The tour was great, the music was on point, the drinks were good, and the whole staff was friendly. FYI: If you “win” the raffle, it’s basically a timeshare presentation- but everyone was nice and there was no pressure. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun way to see Miami from the water.

I did the tour of the famous house with the Island Queen company was excellent I came to celebrate my birthday 🎈 the very good drinks and translation in English and Spanish. Odalys Acosta took care of me in a very professional way
¡Tu viaje con nosotros alegró nuestro día! Esperamos tenerte de nuevo a bordo para explorar más de la impresionante Millionaire’s Row de Miami.
We did this trip as part of an overall tour of Miami highlights. It was relaxing and enjoyable. The boat was clean and well maintained. The narrator was helpful. The homes and the yachts are amazing to see. Skip the raffle - it's just for generating timeshare sales.
Thank you so much for your 4-star review and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you found the tour relaxing and enjoyable, that the boat was clean, and that you loved seeing the beautiful homes and yachts. We’re also glad our narrator was helpful — thank you for that feedback! Regarding the raffle, we completely understand. It’s just a fun optional activity we offer, but we know it’s not for everyone. Thanks for the honest note. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back on board again soon for another great Miami sightseeing experience!
The Island Queen Millionaire’s Row Boat Tour is a fantastic experience and a true highlight when visiting Miami. The boat is very clean and comfortable, and the entire operation is seamlessly well organized. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating insights throughout the journey. The route itself is awe-inspiring, passing stunning waterfront homes and beautiful scenery. The 90 minutes fly by so quickly that you hardly realize how time passes. It’s relaxing, informative, and visually spectacular all at once. A traveler’s must-do in Miami and an easy 5-star getter!
We’re thankful for guests like you! Thank you for sailing with Island Queen Cruises, let’s do it again under the Miami sun!
Nothing to see. Very very slow. It takes 90 min to go like 500m!!!! You dont understand anything the way they speak. It is a scam. We went with lady Mary. It is a big NO NO!
Thank you for your feedback. We're disappointed to hear about the issues you encountered. That said, after reviewing our logs, it looks like this wasn't one of our Island Queen Cruises. It seems the review may have been intended for another operator. We'd greatly appreciate it if you could move or update it to the correct business page. We're committed to providing excellent experiences and hope you'll give us a try in the future!
This company runs a very misleading operation. At Bayside, they collected everyone’s names for a raffle, saying it was for a free cruise. After gathering all the names, they announced that only two people “won” — and I was one of them. We were told the cruise was free and only asked to pay a $40 deposit and attend a 2-hour meeting. However, when we showed up on the scheduled day, the story completely changed. Suddenly, they demanded $150 per person for “port fees” PLUS another $150 per person as a deposit. None of these costs were clearly disclosed upfront. The fees kept increasing only after we arrived, which feels like a planned bait-and-switch tactic. A legitimate free cruise does not turn into hundreds of dollars in surprise charges. We refused to pay and walked away. This experience felt dishonest and manipulative from start to finish. ⚠️ Do not trust the raffle ⚠️ Do not give them money or personal information ⚠️ Absolutely do not recommend
