The boat was a great size for the 2 of us, very comfortable and extremely clean. We were able to connect our phone to listen to music and we took drinks to put in the cooler. Due to weather, we needed to adjust the time of our cruise but it worked perfectly.

We had an amazing time with family and friends. The boat is gorgeous and definitely stands out of all the other boats that we saw along the way. It was our first time riding an electric boat and we all enjoyed and appreciated how quiet and peaceful it was. The views of Downtown Miami were truly wonderful. We also saw a lot of iguanas sunbathing along the river. Overall great experience. I would love to do it again.
