I took my girlfriend here for a birthday gift, and I must say this was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip! I will certainly add this to my itinerary every time I visit MIA. Please ask for Fernando he's the absolute best!! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Fernando greeted us with smiles, helped us onto the boat, and also had complementary champagne on ice for us. This was my first time on a boat, and I honestly enjoyed every moment. Beautiful weather, amazing view. MUST TRY & Ask for Fernando ( :
