    Mark the Shark is a Miami Institution which has been around now for a whopping 50 Years, that alone speaks volumes for the quality of this "Must Do" when in Miami but book ahead of time because there is a waiting list.

    In addition to an adventure filled day with the Legendary Shark fisherman Mark the Shark and his trusted & knowledgeable crew of Alex & Russ who will keep you informed, safe and on the lookout for HAMMERHEADS, Great Whites, Nurse Sharks, etc.

    However what most folks don't know, a large percentage of the proceeds, the Shark meat goes to a great act of charity which consists of assisting Miami, s most vulnerable "Homeless Veterans" & "Homeless & Working"!

    Every Morning begins at 5:30am with Mark the Shark, Alex, Russ and Crockett. It,'s a Definitely Miami Must Do located at the Venetian Marina behind the Marriot Hotel.

    We make the trip from Massachusetts at least 6 times a year.

    Thanks for being a Miami Institution Mark!!! @TheReelCrockett PS- If you or your group are Law Enforcement Professionals,First Responders or a Veteran, I will gladly cover 50% of your tour!!

    Thanks, Joseph Pep Nodarse

    We booked a 4 hour charter sail with Captain Jeff and had a wonderful time! It was an easy drive from our Ft Lauderdale area hotel. We have 4 kids ages 15, 13, 10 & 2 and they all loved it. The older ones were able to sit in the front of the boat and enjoy a beautiful day and the 2 year old was able to be up there for a while with us, but there was plenty of shade in the back to retreat to once the sun became too much. We sailed around stiltsville and then into a lagoon to do some swimming. Will definitely book again in the future when back in the are. A+

    Great trip with Captain Derek and Alex. 4 of us enjoyed wonderful sunset cruise along Key Biscayne and back. Appreciated the very professional team at Happy Cruises. Boat was very clean and enjoyed the many seating options as well as the air conditioned cabin just in case. No better way to enjoy a sunset. Captain Derek and team made it very enjoyable and great experience.

    Kayaking around the Virginia was a super fun excursion, you can stop along the few beaches and just relax or play in the water. Staff very friendly and helpful. Super organized . If you are lucky, you will see manatees !

    Big shout out to Kyle and Jason. They were so much fun, engaging, and explained everything very clearly. You could tell that they knew what they were doing. It was an amazing experience. I will definitely recommend this activity for anyone visiting Miami. The price we paid online was exact, and no extra fees were needed when we arrived, unlike other comments I was reading. Maybe because I had booked via Miami Water Sports. Very much satisfied. We also took a photo package, and the photos came out amazing, thank you to Kyle.

    We booked a jet ski rental in advance to make sure we had one available.
    When we got there we had to sign some paperwork and then we were good to go.
    One guy cams with us and guided us for the first hour and then we were given a couple of minutes to do whatever we wanted.
    Amazing guys and the jet skies are in perfect condition! we will be back for sure!
    Juan and Daniel were awesome! 😎

    Easy to book reservation, meet at designated site, take shuttle, and enjoy parasailing experience! Was able to take videos/photos with personal device. Unexpected things were: flat attitude of boat driver and motion sickness from choppy waters in the boat. Luckily, my friend and I kept things alive and overall really enjoyed the time!

    Mr Ali took such great care of our family. He really cared about us, and wanted to make sure we all had a great time. He was helpful and patient. Especially with those of us who needed a little extra help. I've seen people do this on TV, and it looked so cool. Just step into the boots of the fly board, and Ali will have you flying. I recommend him so much.
