A day of water-based adventure in Miami that combines adrenaline, relaxation, and stunning scenery — all in a private setting. For $1,500, up to six people can enjoy roughly four hours of fun on Miami’s shimmering waters. Your experience begins with a scenic boat ride through the city’s iconic waterways, offering views of luxurious mansions and the Miami skyline, before anchoring off a deserted island for an afternoon packed with water sports, swimming, and lounging. This private tour is operated by Aquasport Miami LLC and is perfect for celebrating special occasions or just indulging in a day of aquatic thrills.
What we really like about this experience is its flexibility — you can try all the activities or simply relax and soak in the surroundings. We also appreciate the exclusive nature, as this is the only company in Miami offering the chance to try the Flyboard, an activity that turns you into a modern-day Iron Man. On the flip side, it’s worth noting that weather can impact plans, so flexibility in scheduling or weather considerations is important. This tour best suits groups seeking a unique mix of adventure and leisure, especially those who enjoy sharing moments with friends or family in a private setting.

The Itinerary: From Scenic Cruising to Water Sports
This tour kicks off with a boat ride through Miami’s waterways, where the views alone make it worth the trip. As you glide past luxurious mansions and the glittering skyline, your guide will keep the atmosphere lively with music and drinks, setting a relaxed yet exciting tone for the day. This initial part of the experience allows you to settle in, chat with your group, and get a feel for Miami from the water.
Next, the boat anchors off a deserted island — a hidden gem perfect for swimming, lounging on the floating mat, or paddling around in a kayak. Here, you’ll feel a sense of escape, away from busy city streets, with only the sound of water and a gentle breeze. This part of the tour really shines in providing a laid-back vibe, with the option to turn up the music and just soak in the sun.
The real highlight comes with the water sports setup. The Flyboard — exclusive to this operator in Miami — is a thrill that most beginners can conquer within minutes. “Most people start flying within 5 minutes,” one reviewer notes, highlighting its beginner-friendly nature. Imagine feeling like you’re flying over the water, a sensation that’s both exhilarating and surprisingly accessible.
Following flyboarding, the group will try tubing, pulled at high speeds by a jet ski. It’s easy to see why this activity is so popular — it’s hilarious, adrenaline-pumping, and perfect for laughs. One review mentions, “You won’t be able to stop laughing,” which captures the pure fun on offer. After everyone has had their turn, there’s time to swim, relax, or explore the island further.
The Experience: What Makes it Special
The tour’s scenic boat ride sets the tone for the day, offering views that are perfect for photos or just soaking in Miami’s beauty. The anchoring at the deserted island provides a rare opportunity to enjoy some peace, away from crowds, while basking in the sun or jumping into the water. It’s these moments of contrast — lively water sports followed by calm relaxation — that create a balanced, memorable experience.
The Flyboard stands out as a unique feature, especially since it’s the only company in South Beach offering this activity. We loved the way it combines ease of learning with adrenaline. The sensation of “flying like Iron Man” is genuinely exciting but accessible enough for beginners. This activity appeals to thrill-seekers and those curious about trying something new, with most participants flying within minutes.
Tubing, meanwhile, appeals to the more playful side of water adventures. The high-speed pulls create a thrill that keeps everyone laughing, making it perfect for groups or families. Plus, the option to simply float or paddle in the kayak offers additional ways to enjoy the water without pressure.
