The Experience

Someone grips the wheel of a Stingray 24 and pushes the throttle forward, and the boat cuts across Miami Bay smooth and fast. That someone is you, or it's the captain you've hired—either way, the engine's powerful enough that you're not fighting the water, you're gliding. The boat holds up to 6 people comfortably, which means you're not packed in with strangers; it's your group, your pace, your choice of where to stop. Gas is already paid for, so there's no surprise at the pump, no math about fuel costs halfway through the afternoon.

You can rent for 2 hours or stretch it to 8, depending on what you want to do. Some people head straight to a beach they've heard about, anchor, and spend the afternoon in the water. Others cruise the coastline, watching the Miami skyline shift as you move, stopping at a waterfront restaurant when you get hungry. The Stingray 24 is built for this—it's not a fishing boat or a party vessel, it's a straightforward, well-maintained cruiser with a Bluetooth stereo, a cooler for drinks, and a bathroom at the marina before you leave. The boat itself is reliable; this company has 5-star ratings across Viator and TripAdvisor, which matters when you're renting something that floats.

One thing to know: whoever books the rental has to be on the boat, and if you want someone else driving instead of you, Florida law requires a captain. The company handles that—you just say you want one when you book, and they'll assign someone who knows the bay. You'll sign a bareboat charter agreement before you leave the dock; it's standard, takes a few minutes, and then you're out on the water.

What’s included

Your rental includes fuel, a Boater's Certificate, Bluetooth stereo system, cooler with ice, access to the marina bathroom, and a captain if you request one when booking. The boat is fully maintained and ready to go; you just show up, sign the charter agreement, and head out onto Miami Bay.
