We hired a boat for a full day with a captain, tube, and wakeboard. We had the pleasure of spending the day with Captain Carl. He was very charming and knowledgeable. The boat that we rented was brand new and very clean. Interaction with the staff was great, Lindsey is very personable and easy to deal with. We started the... More

We stopped in American Watersports around 5 pm wanting to do a boat tour. Lindsay recommended that we sign up for an evening cruise. Great recommendation, we signed up and went back just before sunset. David took us out on a 2 hour cruise through the city. We got to see the sun set over Miami, the city lights at... More

Went out on a full day rental this past Saturday. We were greeted by Lindsey who took care of the paperwork, 5 minutes or so to finish. From there she handed us off to Justin who covered a local map of the water with us. We told him what we wanted to do with our day and he told us... More

I frequent Miami, and usually find at least one thing that makes the trip amazing. I will have to go jet skiing every time I come now. Go in the morning when the water is calm and you can fly around miami. The price was lower here than anywhere else, by like $40 bucks, and suprising the jet skis were... More

Arrived slightly before 10 to make sure we were the first tour, and having a history of being out on the water it is generally much flatter and calmer earlier in the day. After a quick few pieces of paperwork we picked out life vests that fit and after a quick safety briefing we were on our way. I believe... More

I had a membership with them and it was the worst experience I have had. You would think they would want to treat you good to keep you giving them money every month. I am a boater so never returned a boat with a single scratch. Complained about being 10 minutes late. Were super crooked when it came to gas.... More

Eddie, I'm sorry that you feel we were "Super RUDE," during your membership, but we did accommodate you in many ways. Towards the end of your membership we did start enforcing the terms of the contract because you continually broke the rules. You made reservations that you never showed up for. When you did show up, you were regularly late... More

I wish I had read the reviews before I rented a boat!! They also charged me $400 for a propeller that they claim we damaged. In addition to all of this they were extremely rude and treated my wife and myself very poorly. I am telling all my friends and acquaintances to avoid this place. They ruined my daughter's birthday.

Gustavo, I'm sorry that we had to charge you but the damage was very clear on your rental. You rented our 20' Sea Ray Sport, which had a brand new propeller on it, and returned it with all three bladed chipped and scratched the whole way through. It was evident that you rant it across a sand bar. We were... More

Crooks! Do not rent a boat from this place. After you come back, they will charge you +400 for “shinny in propeller”. This is how they make money. Just stay away from American WaterSports. More

This review was written simply to negatively effect our company's profile on Trip Advisor. This is not a real review and will hopefully be taken down soon. It has no relevance to other travelers and no review of services rendered. More

I grew up in Miami and know boats. I have rented from i think everywhere in town, twice, and these guys know their stuff. Boat was great for a rental, they hooked me up on price. They did charge me for returning 25 minutes late, but i would go to them over anyone else. More
