    First and best sailing experience ever! Never realized how complex sailing is, but have a whole new appreciation after seeing the man power it takes. We took a mid day sail and ended up in Key Biscayne with the best views of the city, had lunch, and created the best memories. So much fun! I can't wait to come back and do it again!

    Most amazing experience I've had in a verrrryyyy long time. First off, this sailboat is a beauty!!! Our party of 7 fit very comfortably. Seeing the city from this view and angle was unlike anything I've experienced. The captain was great as well. I highly recommend this experience.. will definitely be back

    Hands-down the best sailing experience I could've asked for. Scheduling was a breeze-- Ken was very responsive and worked to accommodate our group. I'm a germaphobe, and this boat was *pristine.* Ken keeps it in GREAT condition. There's plenty of room on the deck and below deck. And did I mention a real bathroom (regular flushing toilet, etc), kitchen, and refrigerators for all your beverages? If you're looking for a fun day sailing in Miami, look no further!! Thank you, Ken-- we'll be back!

    Best day ever!!! We had an incredible sunset sail and overall amazing and unforgettable experience. My friends and I will definitely be using this charter again in the future without hesitation! The sailboat is so beautiful, clean, and comfortable and the owner is awesome :)

    The Genesis!

    Words cannot begin to describe my experience with Genesis Yacht Charters! This is not just a typical sail...it is an EXPERIENCE. Let me just tell you mine. I came to Miami for 36 hours to kickoff my bday week. We went on a sunset sail, and this boat was fully decked out and full of surprises! The boat was in pristine condition with luxury finishes, a large common area with Bose surround sound, temperature controlled wine fridge (very important), fully equipped chef's kitchen, with a 3-burner stove, microwave, and oven (yes for you bakers!) 2 cabins each with a private bath, separated shower, and electric toilets. The boat also has a built-in sound system, but the best surprise was the on boat DJ we had onboard! We kicked off the party by sailing into the sunset! The wine was the perfect temperature and the conditions were right. With the DJ spinning, breathtaking views, smooth ride, and great crew, we totally had a full on dance party on the boat. Smooth sailing thanks to Captain Morgan! Our captain took us all around the Miami bay and we saw the most beautiful skyline. Just as it started to get dark after sunset, fireworks started to shoot up in the air. (How did we get so lucky?). That doesn't come with the sail, but you might be in for some fun surprises if you book with GYC! At the end of the night, we all jumped into the warm water and shared stories and hidden talents around a floating lantern. I've never been able to sail without being freezing in the wind or water, which makes sailing with GYC in Miami the best choice! I will let the photos speak for itself, but we definitely had a blast and shared memories for life! Shoutout to the friends who came out for the most EPIC sail...you know who you are!

    Our group had such a great time on the sunset cruise. Not only did we have an amazing evening filled with rosé, delicious appetizers and a beautiful sunset, but the owner made sure we were having the best time throughout the entire night. We all loved every minute of the evening and cannot wait to do it again.

    AMAZING!!!! The owner was extremely knowledgable and we felt so safe throughout the entire trip. The views of the Miami skyline were breathtaking and the boat itself was absolutely gorgeous and spotless. Highly recommend to all that are looking to enjoy a lovely day at sea in Miami!!

    My first experience sailing. No words. A true experience requires a sail boat, hands down. For the first time in my life I have no words for this experience. Can you see it in my face? This sail boat is classy, elegant, simply life changing.

    Absolutely blown away by my time spent on this STUNNING boat. Few friends and I were trying to celebrate a birthday in a COVID-free environment and this was the perfect opportunity for us all. I've NEVER been on such a clean and organized boat as this one was. When we first got on, it was raining. Didn't matter because we all were able to have drinks and throw a mini dance party in a surprisingly spacious inside cabin. I don't even think we would've been upset if we weren't able to take it out on the water had the weather not cleared up. Like I said, SO CLEAN (and eco-friendly ). I actually didn't even feel like I was on a boat because it really did feel like a luxury home with its modern-decorated interior. The two bedrooms on board feel like cruise-styled suites, especially with the extremely clean bathrooms in each. I swear, the appliances on this boat are nicer than what's in my own home. Even when the rain stopped and we were able to take it on a sunset cruise, it didn't feel like we were rocking when I'd go inside to grab drinks or snacks. Sailing was breathtaking, and I felt really safe the entire time despite having been a little nervous with sailboats in the past. Most of us were dancing to the loud music we chose to put on, but there were some of us at the front of the boat laying out looking at the stars , and some were sitting on the comfortable resort-styled seats toward the front. Our experience was truly out of a movie and we wouldn't have been able to have this incredible memory if it weren't for the owner. I wanted to stay on the boat until the sun came up so that I could take advantage of all the little reading & tanning spots on the deck. So thank you SO much for caring for this beautiful boat, because there is NO DOUBT that we will be back for more!!!

    There's nothing better than sailing on the beautiful waters of Miami and I'm convinced there's no better yacht to charter then the Genesis. The captain and crew are amazing and provided an unforgettable experience for me and my friends. From the pristine salon to the gleaming decks, sail on the Genesis once and you'll never want to leave. It's the best experience you'll ever have in Miami. Can't wait to come back.

    See all

    My husband has pretty bad sea sickness, so I was a bit worried that he would feel sick during the sail, but nope!

She is always available and very responsive which is huge for me when I am planning anything. She reached out to me a week before our yacht day and there were some concerns she had with the yacht I originally booked and she called me with a solution already which was such relief for me. Many times when there are issues, people don't always have a solution right away, but she did and the yacht was awesome. We had a yacht with a jet ski and my husband had the best time. Captain Joe was so much fun. I will definitely be doing this again and will use Starlux in the future.

I would recommend calling (vs. text) for faster response times. Mari was able to help our group of 30+ book a very luxurious yacht for a reasonable price. We also opted in for an open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres. To be honest, the food was better than anyone expected and no one was left hungry! The yacht also had Bluetooth connectivity for music but our group was able to bring our own music equipment to play on the deck. We also let the captain know before we set sail that we would like to jump in the water and he was able to dock mid-way to give everyone the opportunity to swim. The crew in general delivered exceptional service and helped create an atmosphere of luxury and relaxation throughout our voyage. This yacht charter was definitely the highlight of our group's trip and I highly recommend booking with Mari for an unforgettable and 5 star yachting experience.

I used WhatsApp and they respond really quickly. Just provide details like the day, amount of people and the time. You can also book through their website which I also did but WhatsApp was immediate service. We quickly found an option that fit our budget and they send over a contract to sign. A small deposit is due during the time you sign your contract with the remaining balance and tip on the day of your trip. They offer drink and food services but we opted to bring our own as they provide an ice cooler. Our captain, Daniel, was great. He texted me right before and we let him know we were running late. Our Uber dropped us off at the wrong location which made us more late but he still gave us our time back when he did not have to all. Once he helped us onto the boat, he asked where we wanted to go and took us to a small island with other boats. He also gives you full access to the music. They also have an option for a large floatie for everyone to lay out and relax on. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a private boat ride. Prices are very reasonable. Easily our favorite excursion on the trip!

The best part of the trip was how we had the boat exclusively to ourselves! I didn't know it'd be a private tour until the day I came. So, the boat was just a total of 3 people (captain included). The water temperature was great and the clarity was decent. We even saw two dolphins! You meetup at Whiskey Joe's at the marina and you can start your excursion immediately. I liked that you didn't need to wait around much. I was able to see some cool looking fish, a bottom feeder and a crab. You get 2 hours for the snorkeling and you're not required to wear any life vests (in fact, we weren't offered any and I didn't see any). The water is super shallow so it didn't seem dangerous at all. The water is also salty and easy to float in. The boat was nearby the main snorkeling area. The bad: The area for snorkeling was pretty small. It was an artificial reef where the fish were but outside of that area there is just seagrass and there's no living things to observe. The website says snorkeling starts at $75/pp and up but that's misleading b/c that's only the price if you have 8+ people. When I came to the marina, the worker who had me sign paperwork said that "$25/hour tip is required" when I got an email saying 15% tip is optional. My husband clarified and he said "yes, it's required" but later retracted his statement after I clarified that it was strange to give tip upfront before we even went on the excursion. However, I did already give 15% tip upfront on 50% of the value and then Zelled an additional $25 tip to the captain himself afterward. The cost for snorkeling ended up being $407 for 2 people (pricey). The interesting: The captain swam with us to lead us to the reef and then swam back and was mostly on his phone.

The boat was scheduled for 4PM and no one had informed us of where the boat would be or who the captain was. The address provided on the website is a general address for several boats to pick up people so we had to wait for 1.5 hours! We called multiple times to obtain the information but they kept delaying the information as they did not have it since they had five other charter boats taking off. The staff in the pick up location informed us (and the captain of the boat confirmed) we were double booked! The prior boat group was scheduled to end at 5PM and we were scheduled to start at 4PM. But FEELING YACHTY never communicated this or apoligized for the tardiness. Aside from that the captain was great! But unfortunately, in the beginning of the boat tour the AC was not working on the inside and toward the end of the trip the water for bathroom and sink got shut off. We ended up getting on the boat since FEELING YACHTY does not provide a refnd or rescheuling. THEY ARE NOT FLEXIBLE AND DO NOT COMMUNICATE. You are better off with another company, heed my warning!
