Purchased a groupon for a 2 hour paddle boarding session and had a great first time lesson! They were really responsive before and on the day of. We thought it might thunderstorm all day, but they texted back and forth with us to keep us informed. In the end, the weather cleared up and we even got to paddle with dolphins in the bay. Next time, we'll try the paddle fitness lesson. Thanks Gil! read more

We went today and we loved it. I had done paddle boarding before but this time it was different. He took the time to teach us the right way. The boat took us to a very nice area, calm without boats and jet skies. I personally enjoyed looking at all those nice houses in the water. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to spend a nice afternoon in Miami. Will cone back soon. Thanks Kevin for all tour attention. read more

These people have 5 star reviews on all of their reviews for a reason. What makes them different is their outstanding customer service. They take time to teach you techniques, one-on-one. They even call you by your name! They love what they do and want everyone in the tour to have fun. It's also nice to be able to explore different areas and not always be stuck paddleboarding in the same place. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Great experience paddleboarding with these guys We were booked for Wed afternoon but because of bad weather Kevin got in touch with me in the morning to cancel and made it very easy to reschedule for the next day. In our group we were all first timers so Kevin gave us a quick lesson of the basics, good enough to handle the day. The guys are really nice and they even offer bottles of water for free! (I had to mention that because I feel eveywhere you go now people want to charge you for everything that is extra). The boat is kept in good shape and they are always following you in case you get tired and want to get back on it. We really enjoyed it! read more

Both Gil and Kevin were awesome! They had so much patience with us newbies. Me and my gf have been on a SUP a couple of times and the tips that Kevin gave us were very helpful. They were very attentive and made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole time we were paddle boarding. Kevin is very experienced and was not only able to answer all the questions we had about improving our technique, but also gave us the reasons why we should or shouldn't do things a certain way. We will definitely be recommending this company to our friends and will book other tours with as well. One last thing I wanted to add, on the tour we were taken to a few different places. They took us to an island we got to hang out at for a bit, and this is where I decided I really liked this company. Reason being, a girl, who wasn't part of our group, was paddling by us and mentioned to Kevin that the wind was very strong. He asked her if she needed a ride back to the marina, she said yes. Kevin told her he wouldn't charge her and was happy to take her back, because "he wanted to make sure she had a good SUP experience, this way she would have good things to say to her friends about SUP." This girl may not remember what the name of the company was or who Kevin and/or Gil are, but their love for the sport and for providing good service are unmatched with the other companies we've booked SUP rentals with. Well worth the extra money you pay to go with this company. read more

Purchased a groupon for a paddleboarding tour for 6 of us!! I thought maybe they would treat us different because it was a groupon. NO WAY!! They were so awesome!! I had to cancel my tour once because of the weather. By the time i could reschedule i thought my groupon was going to expire, but Kevin ensured me not to worry. Then when we finally got to go today, they really took care of us. Unlike other places that just rent you a board and send you off to survive on your own, they make sure to give you a lesson on how to use the boards properly. They also really go out of there way to ensure you have a good time. Kustom Water sports is great!! They get a 10 out 10 from us!!!! read more

We had a wonderful time on the SUP Sunset Cruise through Star Island. They took us out on their boat, right on time, very clean. The instruction was clear and thorough, and then they kinda let us do our thing. We were lucky in that we were the only ones on the boat so we had a private tour. If you are looking for a tour of the celebrity homes, this is not for you. They are all about enjoying the SUP, the sunset, and the feel and not about talking about the residents that let them so close to their homes. read more

Great experience! The views were amazing, the lesson was catered to my beginner level and most of all fun! I really recommended them! read more

The pantoon was clean and fit all 15 of us. And the island we visited was nice and clean. The boat ride also had nice views and was enjoyable. They worked with me on pricing as well which was helpful for my budget. I was dissappinted with the service of the 2 captains. They did send messages and emails before hand with rules and directions which were very helpful however, they were not friendly or accommodating the entire trip. When setting up the speakers, my friend couldn't find the bluetooth signal and one of the captains snatched her phone away from her insisting she was not looking right. We were supposed to visit 2 islands and they never asked if we wanted to go to the next one and when we finally asked, we had ran out of time and had to go back. No shoes were allowed and the boat floor was very hot and they didn't put water on it to cool it off until we asked so a couple of us burned our feet. The same thing happened when we went back to the harbor. I was under the impression this was a party boat and the atmosphere the captains created was definitely not for that. If returning to Miami, I would look for another option for a better overall experience. read more

Me and my friends were taking a trip to Miami from NY the first week in March and found their Groupon and decided to give it a go! We had such a great experience! Booking the time was easy and the crew was very helpful, they even were flexible with the time since we had a tight schedule. The boat was very clean and the crew members and captain were extremely nice! I definitely recommend to anyone who either wants to have a party on a boat or just a relaxing experience! read more

This was so much fun!!! Gil and Kevin are so nice. The boat trip was amazing and Kevin is such a good paddle board teacher. He explained so good, after 2 minutes I was on the board paddling between the islands. Can't wait for the next time. Definetly planning to get the special deal next time I'm in Miami (12 tours). Thank you Gil and Kevin, it was awesome! read more

Captain Ryan was amazing. We had the best bachelorette trip because of his hospitality! The music was playing, drinks were flowing and we had a great time swimming. Thanks again!! read more

Used a Groupon to book a two hour private charter for my boyfriends birthday. Captain Gil and his staff were amazing! The group had the best time. You get taken out onto the water and then he docks the boat for 20-30 mins at this little island spot. Would definitely do this again! Also, it was super affordable. read more

Captain Gil and Kevin were fantastic! They provided great communication prior to the date of our event and were very professional. During the sail they allowed us to play our own music, had a cooler ready for all of our drinks and put up with all of our bachelorette shenanigans! Would definitely recommend!!!! read more

Don't ever in your life go on an unguided paddleboard excursion by yourself or with just w/another friend. It's in your best interest to have a guided experience. Spend a lil more cash and have a better experience. So glad I did! Fun experience and I finally stood up and paddleboarded. This was my third time paddleboarding and I never felt the confidence or safety to stand but I did this time. read more

Kustom Charters - Your tour guide.. - Boat Tours Near Me

My sister and I took a paddle boarding tour on our trip to Miami and had an absolute blast! The staff at Kustom was so accommodating, and they were so helpful when teaching us how to paddle board for the first time. We felt totally safe and looked after, and they even took pictures on our phones for us while we were in the water! While this wasn't as much a tour as an excursion, the view of the huge canal-front homes was definitely nice. I totally recommend this for anyone looking to do something active on a trip or a weekend! read more

Wow! Very impressed. I have only tried paddle boarding a handful of times, so I was a little apprehensive about this trip. But, Kevin was so helpful and took us to the best waters ever to paddle! The water was so calm and the views were spectacular. Most importantly Kevin makes you feel very comfortable throughout the entire trip. He is filled with information, tips and you can tell this is his true passion. I highly recommend Kustom Watersports. A+++ read more

I hosted a bachelorette party in Miami and booked a boat with Gil. I was worried it wouldn't be what we needed since I was doing it from a different state and we have rented boats multiple times where we live. It was perfect just what we needed. The boat was very spacious. If I could change anything it would be we extended the time for three hours instead of two! read more

What a fun and exciting adventure! If you are looking for an activity that is fun, relaxing yet dynamic while enjoying the beautiful views of Miami then Kustom Water Sports is it!!! The staff is cordial, fun and well trained to assist you every step of the way to an amazing paddle boarding experience! Thank you guys for everything! read more

Kevin and the Kustom Water Sports Paddleboarding tour was AMAZING...it's that perfect outdoorsy, fun activity that anyone can master with Kevin's innovative board and instruction. He takes you to all the great spots, the scenery is amazing and lunch is phenomenal. I can't wait to go back! read more

Such an awesome day! Captain Gil and the staff were so helpful-- they sent a text the night before our trip so that we knew exactly where to meet. We had a super successful surprise birthday for my boyfriend with 14 of our closest friends. The boat was perfect for 16 adults, food, 2 coolers and had great speakers. Will absolutely use Kustom Water Sports again! read more

We had a great experience on the pontoon boat charter. The captain was very good with communication prior to the trip and was punctual day of. We were able to listen to music through the bluetooth speakers on board. We even stopped on an island to swim. I would book this again if I find myself back in Miami read more

My friend and I had a great time paddle boarding yesterday. We lucked out as the group who was supposed to go with us cancelled due to rain (what rain?). So it was just the four of us and we loved every minute. The only issue was I had trouble finding the address to where we had to go. It wasn't in the confirmation email (and yes I double checked, Kevin). But my friend found it on their website. We struggled because we rode bikes there and there were some street closures. Highly recommend! We also saw a dolphin during our tour. They said we may be able to see manatees but it was too windy for that. I also normally get motion sickness on a boat and they took us to a very calm area with little wind to paddle board which made my experience a great one. I just started to feel it at the end of the tour when we went to the manmade beach, but nothing as bad as I normally get. read more

Amazing crew. Such an amazing experience on a Sunday afternoon in Miami Beach. Kevin was great, funny, patient and gave us the exact tips you need to know. Try it! You'll not regret it! read more

Definitely your Go-To tour guides for paddle-boarding activities. Really down to earth and honest people taking their time to teach you how to paddleboard correctly. I have used their service twice for my trip in Miami and their standard of service is very high. They also give you water for free instead of trying to rip you off when you are thirsty. Kevin was our tour guide. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for months! My sister and I went to Miami in August and decided to go on paddle boarding tour. We opted for the early morning tour so we wouldn't be out in the heat of the day. Our group was very small, about 4 of us total so our guides were able to give us quick instructions and got us out on the water pretty quickly. Being my first time, I didn't realize how much of a workout paddle boarding is and was PARCHED within 15 minutes. But not to worry! The boat was stocked with complementary bottled water! Such a life saver!! The only regret I have is not bringing cash for tips! read more

My family and I had the pleasure of booking a boat ride with Kustom and had an amazing time! Captain Gil is friendly and so helpful. He responds to any inquires very quickly, the place was easy to find, and it was a very easy booking process. The captain provides a cooler with ice and water so feel free to bring cups and anything else you may need. We were also able to connect our phone to awesome speakers and got to listen to music during the entire ride. He is very accommodating! I would highly recommend to any and everyone and I cannot wait to go again. read more

Perfect amount of time and the boat was clean and in great shape. The island stops for swims were fun. We had a large private group of women and the Captain could have been a bit less up tight. Scolded us a few times for standing when he could have been friendlier, we were not out of control or causing trouble. Kind of created a less fun environment given the Captains mood. read more

My son and I had an Awesome time I am scary spice (I tried it ) will have to try it again until I get over my friend our handsome tour guide forgot his name from Israel was very informative and helpful.. Will definitely be back and definitely suggest everyone tries at least once.. read more

We Celebrated my 18 year old son birthday, paddle boarding in to the sunset. What an awesome family activity. When you have different ages in your family like we do, it is always a challenge to find an activity that would make everyone happy. KUSTOM WATER SPORTS made, what I thought impossible, not only possible but an incredible, family, quality time. from the youngest to the oldest, every one had fun ! , The instructors are professional, patient and super funny. Teaching every one of us at his,her level. I highly recommend and we all cant wait to come back. Thank you guys and see you soon. read more

We are a family of four with teen/preteen kids. Great instruction conducted by interesting folks. We had a blast!

This was a great experience !!!! Professional crew, they take the time to teach each one, I went with them few times and will defiantly come back again and again, they care about environment, they make sure you have everything you need, water to drink, break at the boat if you are tired, they take pictures of you the whole time with your own phone, and send you an edited video, to save your moments and great memories. I see a lot of much cheaper deals out there, but they just leave you of the marina where it's so hard to puddle next to all the boats and in the traffic area, then if you get lost, or tired, no one is there to help you go back, especially if the wind is hard, and you are already tired, it's nice to have a crew member like I we did that is puddling with you the whole time and a boat as well, I felt that this KustomWaterSport team was there to take care of all my needs in order for me to enjoy every moment, completely stressless, enjoying the beautiful weather and view together with amazing workout. Totally Must!!!!!! If you are visiting miami or you are local, treat yourself, it worth it big time:) read more

Kustom Charters - Boat Tours Near Me

Do you want to go Paddleboarding in Miami? These guys are the very best and only ones to take you! Very fun, very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We were taken on a special pantoon boat to Sunrise lake. Very smart of them to do this because you are not learning at a marina, with boats and jet skies flying by you causing all sorts of waves. The lake is quiet and Kevin takes his time to really teach you the right techniques. Unlike other fly-by-night operations these guys are passionate about the sport, you even get to use their special inflateable boards that have awesome rubber attached linings so you don't get scratched up and can get a great grip. Water and life jackets are provided as well. Just one word of caution, when you get to the area make sure to look for them at the pier of the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park in front of the police station. There are a lot of shady characters trying to lure you in to their bussinesses in this corner, they are shams, don't do it! If in doubt call Kevin on his cell, he always answers his phone (unlike other companies), he will direct you as well. Thanks guys for a beautiful afternoon! read more

These guys are great. I enjoyed the tour. They were very helpful in teaching my wife and me how to get going with no prior experience with paddle boards. You should go with this group. You won't regret it. read more

While my wife and I were in Miami for our honey moon, we really wanted to try paddle boarding and these guys really showed us a good time. They took us to a really chill spot off Star Island to learn to paddle board while checking out the ridiculous houses built on these set of islands. We went on the 5-7pm trip, which was great because we got to see the sunset over the Biscayne Bay. Overall, this was a great experience that I would recommend this to anyone visiting Miami. read more

So much fun! First time in Miami and this was such an incredible experience. The travel guides/instructors were awesome!
