I cannot say enough!!! The afternoon cruise we took on “Happy Ours” yacht with Captain Derek and Omar was by far the highlight of our Miami vacation. Every last want or need was tended to during our 4 hours adventure. We cruised through Biscayne Bay and got views of the amazing homes. Captain Derek was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent overview of the entire area. Omar, his right hand man was attentive, entertaining and extremely accommodating. We swam, sang, laughed and thoroughly enjoyed every last minute! Thank you HAPPY OURS!!!! FIVE STARS all around!!!!

My favorite part of this day out with family was enjoying the relaxing vibes of the day out at sea with Captain Derek. His boat has such great energy! My kids had an amazing time and we can’t wait to go back out again!

Captain Derek and his crew were excellent! We rented the boat for a bachelorette and we had a great experience. He was very attentive and took us to great spots that were not too crowded. I would definitely recommend his services.

If you want to see Miami from the water, this is the way to go. We couldn't have asked for a better captain or boat. Captain Derek was great coordinating everything. This was a surprise sunset cruise charter for my wife & I. We were both truly amazed & will definitely be going back out with Captain Derek the next time we are in town. In the days prior to the cruise, Captain Derek patiently & promptly answered all of my questions & helped me set up the most amazing surprise for my wife. He's very knowledgeable of the area as well. An excellent rating is actually an understatement as to how great & memorable this adventure was to us. If you are in Miami, this is a must do!!!!!

We celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday on Capt Derek’s boat and everything was first class. Thank you again for a wonderful time and if anyone is ever interested in going out on the water during your stay in Miami you absolutely have to do this! We will definitely be back to do this again next time we visit!

What a fantastic evening. My gf and I enjoyed a romantic sunset cruise. It was more than we hoped for. Captain Derek is so friendly, kind, and informative. He really made you feel like you were on your friends yacht. We cannot wait to go again. Absolutely perfect. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful and peaceful noon cruising Florida’s bay with Capt. Derek. The ship, the trip and the scheduled were perfect to have a different view of Miami.
Thanks again for such a great time!!

What a beautiful day for a cruise with Captain Derek! Lovely motor yacht; spotlessly clean and well maintained. Captain D was a gracious and most informative host. Saw several dolphins and manatees close up plus the history of multi-million $$ homes on Key Biscayne shoreline. Cap D has 35 years in Miami area and enjoys sharing his knowledge of the nautical community he loves!

We had an amazing time on Biscayne Bay with Captain Derek and Miami Happy Cruises, and I wanted to share. We went on with 4 adults and 3 kids (ages 8, 4, 3), and we had a great day. The boat is nice and clean, there is space on the front to sit, or covered in the back, or inside in air conditioning if you need to escape the heat. Captain Derek is an extremely nice guy, and the kids loved him! We went out to the sandbar, and got to relax in the water for a little while. There were some snacks and drinks provided for us, and coolers for anything else that we brought to eat or drink. Overall a great day on the water, and really reasonably priced compared to others. Can’t wait to go again!
