What is the Miami Island Adventure Package?

Private Island Adventure, planned for 3 to 4 hours: a Biscayne Bay boat tour, jet ski time, and a Virginia Key snorkel. Your private experience includes a USCG-licensed captain, fuel, snorkel gear for adults and teens, and a stocked cooler.

Who It’s For

Who is the Island Adventure Package for?

Groups who want all three in one private adventure: bachelor and bachelorette parties, mixed-age families, and team outings.

Bachelor & Bachelorette Groups

Boat, Jet Ski, and Reef for Your Group

Three activities, one private boat, and no strangers. No need to choose between experiences when you can do all three.

Families With Mixed Ages

Something for Everyone on Board

The scenic tour suits every age, the jet ski thrills the adventurers, and the six-foot reef is beginner-friendly.

Corporate & Group Events

Private Adventure for Your Group

Bigger group? We can host up to 22 guests on two boats.

Value-Focused Planners

Three Experiences, One Booking

Booking each activity separately costs more and takes more planning. The package bundles all three on one private boat.

The Experience

What does an Island Adventure day feel like?

The afternoon opens with a private scenic tour past Star Island and the Miami skyline. Then it is jet ski time: open water and your own throttle, so push it or cruise at your own pace while the captain manages who rides next. First-time riders get a short briefing before heading out.

You finish at Virginia Key, anchoring over the shallow reef in about six feet of calm water. Gear is sized at the dock, and an instructor is in the water with you while you snorkel.

What’s Included

What’s included in your Island Adventure Package?

Three experiences and everything you need for them, on one private boat. Bring your own snacks and drinks.

  • Private Scenic Boat Tour: Your own crewed boat past Star Island, the Miami skyline, and Biscayne Bay waterways, private from start to finish.
  • Jet Ski Time: An open-water jet ski session for your group. First-time riders are briefed first, and the captain manages turns.
  • Virginia Key Snorkel: A shallow, six-foot artificial reef, the most beginner-friendly snorkel site near Miami.
  • USCG-Licensed Captain: A USCG-licensed captain who runs the whole day: the boat, jet ski turns, the reef anchor, and the pace.
  • Snorkel Gear for Adults & Teens: Mask, snorkel, and fins sized at the dock. Kids 12 and under bring their own properly fitted gear.
  • Fuel, Cooler, Ice & Water: Round-trip fuel and a cooler stocked with ice and bottled water.

The kindness, courtesy, and hospitality Mario and Nico showed my family on our first ever snorkeling adventure was amazing. The explanation of the process and the patience Nico exhibited made the experience enjoyable. Nico was a great captain on our private boat tour. Very personable. I couldn’t swim but he jumped in the water and was the guide for myself and family so we could experience the beautiful sites under the water. The cost was reasonable and definitely worth it (the tour and snorkeling). A must do!

Captain Nico and Javier! Mucho gusto por su hospitalidad. You made our last minute booking comfortable and fun for our family of 4 under 7. From snorkeling to sandbar we saw dolphins, a manatee that swam right under our boat, HUGE conchs and so many cool creatures. For those of us that were hesitant you were patient and encouraging. Thank you for everything. We can't wait to come back and do it again!

Captain Erik was so much fun! He was very knowledgeable about the area and the marine life in the area! While snorkeling we saw conch and stingrays, lots of fish including red tailed snapper and yellow tailed snapper! My husband saw a small nurse shark hiding in the reef and on the way back to the dock we saw dolphins!!! 5 stars!

Felipe was personal, friendly, and very patient. You can tell he enjoys this job. I had a 10-year-old son with me snorkeling for the very first time. My son was so comfortable with him that he held on to the float and snorkel while Felipe dragged him in the water. It was a private boat tour and snorkel. Beautiful view of all the high rises and Felipe filled us in the history. Thank you Felipe for making it memorable.

We had an absolute blast! We booked a 3 hour private boat and we could not have asked for a better experience. Booking the experience was easy, we were met as soon as we arrived and escorted to our boat. Captain Erik was excellent and professional and a really nice guy! He was knowledgeable about the area, we felt safe, he took us snorkeling and was always on top of safety and giving us the best experience. We saw Manatees, we saw dolphins. Erik gave us everything and more! We had time to snorkel as well as swim at the sand bar as well as touring around Fisher Island and all along the coast. Erik could not have been better. We were so lucky to have gotten him as our Captain. Highly recommend. Three hours felt more like five. It was the highlight of our trip! Thank you so much!
