10/10 Vivian went above and beyond for my booking. she found the perfect boat and captain at a fair price point. the biggest problem I have when trying to book boats in Miami is that they're always expensive and don't meet standards for it to be so much. This boat was big clean and well worth every penny. I enjoyed every minute. from the time we got on to the time we got off the captain was helpful and observant. the boat was cleannn cleannn and had all the essentials we needed. booking with her every time! read more

Man I had the greatest time of my life. And Vivian was such a great hardworking host. I'd rent from her over and over and over. Thanks Mansion Key I love you!!!!!!! read more

This trip was Everything because of this yacht !!! Viv was super cool and Captian David was the best ever ! We had tons of fun. Booked the Sea Ray 50 for 2hours + 1 jetski. Didn't have to book the Groupon contacted her and did the reserve thru there .. THE ONLY CONCERN is that the communication get funky because they're on the water certain times of the day so after u book with Viv I would jus confirm with the Captian as well David @ (305) 915-7242 read more

See all

I wish I could give this a negative review. We booked a yacht at 3pm. At 2:45 Vivian calls and says it's going to have to be 4pm. We didn't even end up getting on the boat till almost 4:30pm. We had dinner plans that evening so we paid for 4 hours and couldn't even fully enjoy that time or get any time of refund for the time confusion. There was so much confusion and miscommunication with payment that we almost didn't even get to go out on the boat. Mansion key is a 3rd party that books boats and takes half of the money. Do not waste your time and money with the mansion key, that are highly unprofessional. I never received any booking confirmation, no email, no receipt. Nothing. Vivian was rude and extremely unprofessional. Not to mention we paid double what we should have by not going through the captain directly. If you're looking for a yacht in the Miami area please call David directly via is Instagram page. He's very professional 305-915-7242 https://instagram.com/sunshinerentalsgroup?igshid=154c6l63havhf read more

Mansion Key - This is who you need to rent from! - Boat Charters Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Pretty much what everyone stated! It's a scam and sadly Vivian is no professional. If I can give it a negative star I would. She is horrible at communicating and when she does she has every excuse to say that she will "contact back" because she's doing something. I think she picks and choose who she wants to reply to. I would not recommend this place at all! My friend still has not received his money back and was cheated on his time for the Yacht. He paid full price for only one hour which is not what he originally paid for. That's just ridiculous. read more

A scam don't waste your money or time. Once we paid she took our money and never responded to any calls or texts. We even dmed her on Instagram and she never even responded but posted every hour. So unprofessional! We came out of town and had this planned weeks in advanced. We've heard this has happened to multiple people trying to book through Viv and this company. How are they still in business???? read more

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!!!! I repeat DO NOT BOOK HERE. First off I booked a reservation months in advance. Just to be told (2 weeks before I get there) that they don't have me reserved. I have receipts to prove that I did. Then I was told to start over without my Groupon Code. They will not honor no Groupon code. It's just to draw you in to be honest. They are also not BBB accredited and have a very low rating. And those who left a complaint on BBB had similar or worse stories than mine. DO NOT BOOK!!! read more

I would not give them a star if I could. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. The customer service is the worst, the communication is inconsistent, I had to reach out via their instagram to get a response sometimes. I have been seeking my refund for over a week which was promised. Vivan Ortiz is rude and need to be trained on how to run a business. All I want is my money back! read more

Mansion Key worked with me and helped me make a dream come true for my family. I took my kids on the yacht. We had an amazing time , all services were awesome! Our captain was great. Time management was great. Nothing went wrong, I even met a great new friend through Mansion Key! I will be back in 60 days and I will definitely be booking again with Mansion Key. My experience was everything I expected plus more! Thank you Mansion Key & Thank you Vivian ....I LOVED MY TRIP AND DEFINITELY WANTED TO EXTEND IT. read more

I booked a 63ft yacht 1 month in advance to my event. I had 10 people flying in that were taking part of this outing and Mansion Key calls me 10min before we were set to sail (11am) to tell me that they didn't have a boat for me. Here I am, standing at the marina with my jaw dropped that my plans were completely ruined. Vivian, the person that called me to cancel, had the audacity to have an attitude the entire time as I rejected her offer to sail the following day at 8pm! She claimed that they didn't have a boat because they were fined the previous day and weren't allowed to take boats out. That was all a lie as I spoke to the owner of the boat that they were supposedly chartering and she said that they never even reached out to her about the boat until 20min before they needed. These people are a joke and beyond unprofessional. I had to chase them for days to get my deposit back. Do not use them! read more

Mansion Key has been a blessing to me and my crew since 2017! I took a last minute trip to Miami a few years ago and me and my team wanted to do some jet skiing for a music video. So my buddy hooked me up with Vivian (Mansion Key owner) and she came through for us even with very little notice! The jet skis were dopeeeee! She gave us the best rate in town! Andddddd she was kind enough to offer a substantial discount on a yacht! I can't stress enough how awesome this woman is! If you're going to Miami you HAVE to book with Mansion Key! She literally has the hook up on EVERYTHING! I'm going back to Miami this July and I will be staying in one of her many MANSIONS I can't wait! Her hospitality is amazing you'd think she a southern gal or suttn lol! Much love to Mansion Key you have a long life customer here fo sho read more

The experience was amazing and the management team were outstanding at making sure we were accommodated well!

Imagine your whole family flying in from another state for a birthday/retirement celebration just for this company to RUIN IT ALL! They're beyond unprofessional, don't even think about calling because they will ignore you for weeks and then tell you the day of your reservation that they overbooked and "looked over your reservation"after you've paid in full and reserved your date after speaking to them 3 weeks in advance! As a business owner I am disgusted by how they handle things and will NEVER recommend them! SICK! read more

I frequent Florida a lot, an I book all of my activities through Mansion Key. I've never had a bad experience. Everyone is very professional with making sure everything is on point. Star Quality service. I was just there in July for my anniversary and Vivian made sure my husband an I were set up lovely. Beautiful Mansion off the water. Very clean and comfortable!!! We got to ride Jet skis an went out on the yacht for a lil bit. Vivian was very professional as well as her staff. They check in on us frequently making sure there was a need for nothing! We will be booking with them again read more

Scam!!! Beware I was promised a 55 ft yacht with jet skis instead I got a 40 ft boat no jet skis and I wasn't told about it until I showed up to the marina. They changed the leaving tune 3 times and never once told I wasn't getting what was promised. They did nothing to reconcile the situation just went ghost. I had to file a bbb complaint! read more

They brought us 3 jetskies on the water during my birthday! I never been on jetskies before and they showed me how to use it and toured us around the bay during the sunset. i was so happy i could finally ride because its something i wanted to do for a while. Thank you Mansion Key and team for everything! read more

Rented a 55' from them for 4 hours on my spring break with a group of 14. Had an awesome time. They even threw in a jet ski for us too! 10/10 recommend read more

The people, the captains from the boats stated that she didn't send over any information with our name or our booking. We showed them our reservation, our communications with her and they confirmed the whole process was normal, she just didn't send them the information nor the $300 she NEEDED to get the boat ready. She wasn't answering our calls but they stated she called them to book another person. She is a scammer. We explained that she promised Jetski's and a bottle and those people said that she always had them in problems with their customers because of the lies she sell. I was so hurt and had to tell my party, especially those who traveled from out of town that we would not be getting on a boat. I did nothing to Vivian for her to disrespect me like that. I maintained constant communication with her so I just don't understand. It's been 33 days since the incident. Vivian called 3 days later to play stupid and ask "what happened" and promised the refund that night. It's been 30 days since that phone call and promise. I have been reaching out to her via Instagram @mansion_key to get my refund and again to no avail. On 6/18 she stated she "put" me on a "7 day installment" as a prestigious company, you're telling me you need 30+ days to refund $300 you got in a matter of minutes via Zelle. You got $300 for a boat you never got ready, that I never got on but you need a 7 day installment to refund it? Cool. It's been 7 days and no refund. I reached out to her and no response, Vivian Ortiz is a SCAMMER. Typical Miami business. I know it will cost me more than $300 to go the legal route but based on principle, I am! read more

Beautiful location! Great service and an amazing home for friends and family. I would recommend mansion key to everyone that comes down to Miami can't wait until my next trip!! read more

It was a great time for me and my girlfriend we went on a romantic cruise and they surprised us with different wines to taste during the sun set. It was a great day! read more

Where do I begin to describe a Sunday's nightmare? My family is big on birthdays and with this pandemic these past few months we thought a family day out on the water would be fun since we haven't had much time together. We planned a whole weekend full of good times and memories, while keeping social distancing in mind as much as possible. Since we were a big group, we knew we would have to book several boats to make sure we wouldn't have any issues from boat crews, police or "Karen's". On the day of our boat ride we received a phone call saying the four boats we reserved had been cancelled and they will be putting our 36 party on one big yacht. We thought oh that's weird with all that's going on with the world. Why would they put 36 people on one boat instead of the 4 that was reserved. We got to the marina 30 minutes early to make sure the cars could get parked in the correct area and to be sure no one got caught in the Miami traffic. We got to the dock and had to pay $30 for valet parking, now keep in mind we DID NOT mind paying because we've been cooped up and working for months! We waited for the person we've been in communication with to ask where our group should go now that we were all parked and ready to celebrate our July birthdays. The lady asked, "why were we there so early?" Yeah you read that correctly "why were we there so early?" To be clear we live in Broward and know how bad Miami traffic can be on a SUNDAY. We waited calmly, the guy that was in contact with another person from our group finally came up and reassured us that despite the change we would still have a great time. We had to sign our names and year of birth and began walking to the boat FINALLY after an hour of parking, waiting and signing. We got to what should have been in my honest opinion at least two decker boats turned out to be a FISHING boat called the "Mariah". Please google it! Our group paid about five grand for four hours on the water relaxation. When we saw that fishing boat, we knew we were bamboozled. They told us not to let the look of the boat get the best of us and we would have a "GREAT" time no matter what. The guy at this point became enraged because we didn't want to get on the boat. After 15 minutes of telling him we are not willing to compromise we were told we must leave the dock and go back to our cars. Yeah, we paid $30 to valet park to walk up to see a boat and walk back to our car. At this point EVERYONE was disappointed. You would have thought they would have made the situation better but the gentleman we were speaking with for weeks came to let us know he had to pay the captain for waiting for us. As I told you previously, we DID NOT go anywhere, we looked at the boat and said we are not happy with having paid 5 thousand for a fishing boat and went back to our cars. He then left and now we were left to deal with the women from Mansion Key only.  She informed us that she has two boats at ANOTHER marina, and we can go there, and she is working on getting a third boat to accommodate our 36-person group. We left the dock where we first arrived and drove 11 minutes away to another place when the Mansion Key woman said she has the boats waiting for us. We all observed the woman walking back and forth to a few different boats for 30 minutes. Finally, she says to us she has the two boats (which we thought she been had reserved for us) we say okay 10 of our party go to the far left of the dock and board the "Mo Money" the captain was very nice and explained what the plan was and his first mate helped us get comfy. The remaining 26 people of our group were supposed to get on the other two boats she allegedly had for us. 10 minutes after we leave the dock, we get a phone call saying they couldn't get on the boats because the 2 boat were taken because the woman was outbid by another group. We then told the captain of our boat that we did not feel comfortable hanging out while the rest of our group were going home. He understood completely and turned around. He even informed us that she does this continuously, she NEVER reserves a boat for any one she waits last minute and hopes she can convince captains to take groups on the water. Once we re-grouped with the rest of our party, we find out that she is trying to get boats for the evening since the boats there were not working with her at the moment. Of course, most of the group at this point says NO! We began to tell her and her partner that we would like our money back. That is when all hell broke loose, she began with the different excuse of why we would have to wait 7 to 10 business days before we can get money back because they were all tied up in her business account, LOL. Please take a moment and try and see if you would have been levelheaded at that point. She even caught amnesia for an hour and forgot that we handed her CASH ($1,990) when we got to the first marina. To say this day was a day from hell was an understatement. read more
