Speed boats in Miami run fast — 60 to 90 knots on a calm bay day. Book My Boat lines up Cigarette racing boats, Skater catamarans, Midnight Express center consoles, and the Tecnomar Evo. Most hold 6 to 12 guests. The Thriller speedboat groups up to 36 for a 90-minute tour. Captains know the legal high-speed zones and pick the route based on the wind.
Speed boats in Miami range from 42 to 55 feet with triple or quad outboards pushing them past 80 knots. Cigarette racing hulls and Skater catamarans are built for open-water speed runs. Midnight Express and Tecnomar Evo blend speed with luxury seating for longer trips.
Every speed boat rental comes with a captain who knows Government Cut, the ocean routes, and the no-wake zones. We handle the paperwork. You hold on.

Real reviews from guests who booked speed boats through Book My Boat.

Cigarette holds 6, Skater holds 6, Midnight Express holds 10, Tecnomar Evo holds 12, and the Thriller tour holds 36. Coast Guard capacity limits are strict.
Yes. The Bimini run is 75 to 90 minutes each way on a fast boat. Most captains make the crossing on calm summer days. It is a full-day trip — 6 to 8 hours including customs.
Yes, but the captain decides based on conditions. Florida law requires children under 6 to wear a life jacket while underway. The captain will not run at full speed with small children aboard if conditions are rough.
Speed boats book up 2 to 3 weeks ahead for weekends. Summer weekday slots often open same week. The Bimini crossing trips book fastest — reserve at least 4 weeks out for those.
