Reservations Vs Walk-ins
Reservations can be done online or over the phone. If you do not want to wait but rather have a secured spot, reservations are the way to go! Once you have an activity reserved with us, your spot is guaranteed.
For large groups, reservations are highly recommended. Reservation will guarantee that you will not be split and be able to do each activity together as a group. We accept walk-ins as well; however, they might have to wait for the next available spots and will most likely be divided into smaller groups.
Walk-ins are meant for spontaneous thrill seekers! Whether you have planned a last-minute trip to Miami and did not have time to plan out your daily activities; or simply woke up feeling amazing and wanting to go have some fun on the water, we got you covered!
Miami Watersports is one of the few companies to be able to accept last minute walk-ups. Although you will not have as high of a priority compare to having reservation done ahead of time, we will make sure to serve you on the same day! We have a large staff and enough equipment to be able to accept a high volume of customers promptly. If you are bored and looking to have a great time, give us a call and we will make it work!
Waiting Time
Miami watersports is open 7 days a week from 10 am until Sunset, all year long, upon weather conditions. We have daily departures for all activities every 30 – 60 minutes. Our large inventory of equipment and staff allows us to handle a high volume of customers daily.
We do our best to serve our demand promptly. However, we are in the water sports industry and unlike train stations, due to weather or equipment malfunction delays in departures may occur. We hope participants can understand that part of the industry. Both online bookings and walk-ins must be aware that delays may affect their departure time, please add some flexibility into your schedule when participating in our activities. Like any other watersports company, delays may occur, and refunds will have the same regulations as explained in our Refund/Cancellation Policy.
