Boat Rentals with Captain in Miami Beach: Why It’s the Way to Go

If you’re booking a boat in Miami Beach, one of the smartest decisions you can make is choosing a boat rental with a captain. Why? Because when someone else handles the navigation, safety, and docking—you get to focus on what really matters: the fun.

At Aquarius Boat Rental and Tours, every rental comes with a licensed captain included. No hidden fees, no stress, no boating license required.

Here’s why more locals and tourists are skipping the DIY rentals and going captain-included.

1. No Boating License? No Problem.

In Florida, many boat rental companies require you to have a boater education card or prior experience. With a captain on board, none of that applies.

At Aquarius, you just show up—and your certified captain takes care of everything.

2. Explore More of Miami with Less Stress

Your captain knows the local waters. That means:

The fastest routes
The best sandbars
The calmest places to anchor
And how to avoid those sneaky shallow zones that ruin propellers

Whether you’re headed to a sandbar party or planning a visit to Raccoon Island, your captain ensures the trip goes smoothly from start to finish.

3. Captains Make the Experience Better

Captains do more than steer. They:

Point out celebrity mansions and Instagram-worthy views
Act as low-key DJs and photographers
Know when (and where) to shift the vibe—from chill cruising to party mode

Some even help serve snacks and drinks if you’re booking something like our Ceviche on the Water experience.

4. You’re Covered on Safety

Having a licensed captain on board means your group is covered:

Fully trained in first aid & CPR
Experienced in handling tides, wakes, and weather
USCG-licensed and fully insured

That peace of mind is priceless—especially if you’re celebrating something special.

5. No Damage Worries = True Relaxation

Skip the stress of return inspections, prop damage, or docking the boat in front of strangers. When you rent with a captain, you’re not liable for any of the operational tasks. You just enjoy the ride.
