Fun, very unique experience and excellent captain

We had such a great adventure with our 9 year old and toddler. We highly recommend Captain Matt--he was very nice, professional, and in tune with our interests. He gave excellent advice on seeing the raccoons and we had a wonderful morning, both on the island and on the boat ride itself.

Raccoon Island Private Boat Tour

Captain Matthew was a wonderful tour guide and was very personable, kind, and made us laugh. Me and my fiancé booked for a spring break activity while we were in the area, from PGH, PA. Asked us what we’d like to do and made it happen; raccoon island was beautiful at sunset and the boat ride there and back was very enjoyable!!

Perfect end to our last day in Florida

Booked a boat to tour raccoon Island. Best price I found and was a great trip. They were in contact often which was nice! Our captain Esteban was quick to answer my texts and was great on the tour answering all our questions. He was friendly and informative. Will book again when we return to the area!

We had an absolutely amazing time visiting Raccoon Island in Miami to celebrate my husband's birthday! The experience was unforgettable, filled with beautiful sights, great vibes, and cherished memories. Captain Fabian was exceptional—he operated the boat flawlessly, ensuring our journey was smooth and enjoyable. His professionalism and expertise were evident in every aspect of the trip. Beyond that, he was incredibly friendly and engaging, sharing fascinating stories about Miami's history and culture. He took us to some of the most stunning spots, where we could fully appreciate the beauty of Miami's coastline. Captain Fabian also gave us excellent recommendations for other activities and places to visit in the area. The highlight of the trip was definitely the time we spent on Raccoon Island—it felt like our own private paradise. This experience exceeded all our expectations, and we’ll treasure these memories forever. Highly recommend this boat tour and Captain Fabian to anyone visiting Miami!
