Our Customers Love Us​

Latest reviews​.

"This cruise was an awesome experience! It rained and we still had the best time out on the paddle boards, at the sandbar and diving off the boat! The staff was super friendly and were available to me swap stories and let us enjoy our own time when we wanted to. Would absolutely book again! A great experience our family will remember for a long time to come!"

"I have taken several different types of cruises with Happy Cruises and cannot recommend it more highly!!! Whether you're looking for a romantic evening for two, some quality time with the family or a fun-filled day with friends, Captain Derek creates the perfect setting for you. A comfortable and beautiful boat, the peace and awesomeness of the ocean and the warmth and friendliness experienced on board all add up to a truly memorable 5-star experience!!"

Catherine P

"We had an amazing time on Biscayne Bay with Captain Derek and Miami Happy Cruises, and I wanted to share. We went on with 4 adults and 3 kids (ages 8, 4, 3), and we had a great day. The boat is nice and clean, there is space on the front to sit, or covered in the back, or inside in air conditioning if you need to escape the heat. Captain Derek is an extremely nice guy, and the kids loved him! We went out to the sandbar, and got to relax in the water for a little while. There were some snacks and drinks provided for us, and coolers for anything else that we brought to eat or drink. Overall a great day on the water, and really reasonably priced compared to others. Can’t wait to go again!"

"Capt Derek is accommodating and amazing. He really does his best to personalize the experience. Afternoon excursion was perfect. The boat is very clean and spacious."

A Few Words​

About the captain.

I’m Captain Derek and I came to Miami over 30 years ago from the Caribbean island of Trinidad to go to college. I fell in love with Miami and its people and made it my home. As a result I have explored the amazing waters of  Biscayne Bay , The Keys and surrounding areas. Above all we take pride in offering you personalized yacht charters in Miami.

It has always been my dream to share the joy I get cruising these wonderful waters with others. Finally a few years ago I pursued that dream by becoming a captain and acquiring the yacht “Happy Ours”. I hope I can have you aboard to share your favorite time of day and get to know your story.

We joined this tour on May 2nd, and it was such a great way to experience Miami. The staff was very friendly, and the boat was super clean which is a big +. The boat we went one was the island queen cruises double decker boat. On the tour we were able to see so many celebrity mansions and sun set. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend the tour.

This was a very nice night sightseeing cruise around Miami. We all really enjoyed the tour.

Nice sunset cruise, well maintained vessel, practiced crew. The Capt. was excellent boat handler and the guide was bilingual. Nicely stocked snack bar/Bar. Good Miami experience and would recommend. (boat very stable too)

Private Yacht Charter Updates & Safety Information

We are excited to get back to cruising and helping you plan an unforgettable private event on the water in Miami! As we resume rentals for all luxury vessels, please know that the health and well-being of our guests and crew members is our number one priority. We are closely monitoring the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as our local health departments and authorities on the best practices while operating. Our ample yachts feature multiple decks with indoor and outdoor spaces. We will continue to assess, refine, and update our standards to keep you safe as new information is available.

COVID-19 Safety Measures

Social distancing.

• Per current guidelines, our 60” round tables will be set six feet apart for six guests, as opposed to our previous ten, which will offer ample room and additional space between guests.
• Our flow-through dining arrangement will allow us to control the number of guests in the dining area at any one time, as well as the flow to stations, which will limit lines and guest contact.

Employee Requirements

• All employees are required to do a self-check prior to the start of their shift. All staff uniforms will adhere to CDC guidelines. This will include masks constantly and gloves while handling food that will be disinfected/changed for every event.

Cleaning & Sanitation

• We will be providing hand sanitizing stations throughout the vessel, at boarding on the dock, on every deck, as well as near food and beverage areas.
• We will have a specialized team thoroughly clean and disinfect key surfaces and areas before and after each event, with two hours specifically designated to ensure that this task is prioritized.
• To maintain cleanliness throughout the event, cleaning specialists will be tasked with ongoing cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch and common areas, which include but are not limited to handrails, backs of chairs, doorknobs, bars, counters, high tops, low cocktail tables, coffee tables, bathroom sinks, toilet handles, etc. These tasks will be completed per the CDC and Miami-Dade County guidelines.
• Our bathrooms feature ample individual stalls. These areas will fall into our 30-minute cleaning guidelines and will be maintained and serviced by our cleaning specialists. Bathrooms are equipped with disinfectant soap, hand sanitizers, and disposable hand towels.

Serving Procedures

• Glassware, flatware, and tableware will be washed, disinfected, and steam cleaned before and throughout the event. Rolled up flatware and water glasses will be provided for each guest and presented individually at each place setting.
• Welcome drinks are freshly poured upon boarding in sanitized glassware. To curb the need for congregating at the bar or making long lines, our staff will be providing cocktail service to all guests, as well as handing out welcome drinks.
• All food and drinks will be handled, presented, and served to guests to minimize cross-contamination. Butler-passed hors d’oeuvres will no longer be passed. Instead they will be arranged as a station. All platters and food stations will be staffed with an attendant behind plexiglass who will be responsible for personally serving each guest.
• Our new and improved buffet techniques will feature plexiglass to protect the food while guests are served by a gloved attendant. Tables will be called one at a time to prevent crowding. Our existing procedures will ensure that our buffet is staffed to serve guests individually and erase the need for self-service. This measure will prevent serving utensils from coming into contact with any guests.
• Our bread, salad, coffee, and dessert will be served tableside, eliminating the need for self-service. Salt, pepper, and condiments will be individually packaged for each guest.
• If additional steps are required, we are happy to provide them as requested.

Biscayne lady testimonials.

Everyone at the Biscayne Lady created such a beautiful and memorable experience for us and our guests who keep saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I truly agree with that statement. How can you beat the Miami skyline view from the water with amazing food and service?

The sales person and event coordinator with whom I worked were extremely professional and responsive. Nothing I requested was too much to ask. Once aboard, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. The boat itself is lovely and beautifully clean, with plenty of available options regarding seating and layout. Every single person on my team loved the experience and already requested a repeat event. I could go on and on, but all I’ll say is thank you, Biscayne Lady, for an unforgettable experience.

Every single request and need were met with outstanding service. Their menu options are excellent as was the food/chef. The Yacht staff were all incredible as well. We could not have been more pleased and do not hesitate to recommend them if you’re considering an event of any kind! Our wedding was truly magical and will be forever remembered!!

We had a rehearsal dinner aboard the Venetian Lady. Our guests were delighted, and the crew couldn’t have been more professional and fun. The food was delicious. Beautiful evening and this will be one of our fondest memories. Biscayne Lady staff were so patient with me and always had time for me when I had a question. Thanks again for making our evening unforgettable.

We choose the Venetian Lady yacht as our wedding venue and it was the best decision we could have made! I can go on and on but I’m just going to say that when I got to the Venetian Lady the day of my wedding it was a dream come true.  If I had to do it all over again I would do it the exact same! I can’t thank the Venetian Lady’s staff enough! Thank you so much!

Thank you Biscayne Lady Yacht Charters for making our Luncheon Cruise Event a great success; one that all of our attendees truly enjoyed in every way. The yacht’s entire crew all were professional and responsive, and the lunch was excellent!  Everyone I spoke with at the event were very positive about the Luncheon Cruise. It was a truly great event.

I just received word that the Event last night was superb.  My CEO was absolutely thrilled, and our client even more so.  Thank you Morgan, and Jenny for helping through all of this to make the trip spectacular.  You both were true professionals and so very helpful.  Morgan, the fact that you took my call all the way from Oklahoma showed how dedicated you are to your work.

I cannot thank you two enough.  I can tell you that you have clients for life!  We will pass on the services to others as well.

Kind regards, 😊

I have never worked with such a professional group of people in my years of planning. Every detail was met from the first phone call to the last. The food is being talked about from Chicago, Detroit, Louisiana, Atlanta & even Alabama! The music was great and we danced all night long! Biscayne Lady is the ride of your life!

VP Consulting

We had a WONDERFUL event on the Biscayne Lady and we were so happy with the service, the food, and everything that the boat had to offer. It was such a pleasure working with you and your team to make this event a success for my client. Thank you again and I hope we get to work together again in the future!

Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas cruise ship rescued 14 people adrift in the sea

Updated on: March 8, 2024 / 8:06 AM EST / AP

The crew of what is considered the world's largest cruise ship  rescued 14 people clinging to a small boat adrift on the ocean, authorities said.

Passengers aboard the Icon of the Seas  captured video of the crew using a small vessel to ferry the group to the safety of the cruise ship on Sunday. The cruise had begun in Miami, and the ship was headed for Honduras when the rescue happened, passengers said.

The cruise ship encountered the small vessel "adrift and in need of assistance," Miami-based Royal Caribbean said in a statement to The Associated Press on Thursday.

"The ship's crew immediately launched a rescue operation, safely bringing 14 people on board," the company said. "The crew provided them with medical attention, and is working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard."

The crew broadcast "Code Oscar, Code Oscar, Code Oscar," over the loudspeakers around 3 p.m., Alessandra Amodio said in a report on FoxWeather.com .

Amodio said she watched as people on the tiny craft waved a large white flag.

"The boat turned around, and we pulled up as close as we could to them and stopped," Amodio said. The cruise ship then launched "a small zodiac-type rescue boat to investigate."

After the rescue, Amodio said the cruise ship's captain announced that the crew had rescued 14 people stranded at sea for eight days.

The Icon of the Seas is considered by cruise industry experts to be the largest cruise ship in the world at the moment. It can host 5,610 guests and 2,350 crew members. The ship has 2,850 staterooms, 18 guest decks and seven swimming pools.

Passengers caught the unusual sight on video when people stranded on a small boat flagged down the behemoth ship for help..

Cruise ship rescued 14 stranded at sea for over a week

This was the scene from the lunch buffet during the first full day of cruising for the Icon of the Seas. The crew rescued all 14 from the distressed boat which was dwarfed by the largest cruise ship in the world.

The largest cruise ship in the world rescued 14 people Sunday who had been stranded on a small boat for eight days.

Alessandra Amodio was traveling on Royal Caribbeans's Icon of the Seas with her family when the rescue happened.

"We were really surprised and honestly a little freaked out," Amodio said. "We’ve been on a handful of cruises and never seen something like this happen. It was crazy to think that these people were stuck at sea for so long, and we were all on board excited and relieved that the ship was able to rescue them."

She watched the small boat from the windows of the lunch buffet. People on the tiny craft were waving a large white flag.

"The boat turned around, and we pulled up as close as we could to them and stopped," Amodio said. "RCC (Royal Caribbean) deployed a small zodiac-type rescue boat to investigate."

As you can imagine, turning around the largest cruise ship in the world takes quite a while. Getting near a small boat without swamping it in the ship's wake takes careful skill. The detour and rescue took about two hours, according to Amodio.

"Everyone around us was watching from the windows with us and just talking about how this isn’t something we ever thought to experience, and we hoped everyone on board was OK," she said. "But never were we afraid for ourselves."

She described the boat as a small dot in the vastness of the sea.

Royal Caribbean didn't provide much information about the rescue.

"On March 3, 2024,  Icon of the Seas  encountered a small vessel adrift and in need of assistance," the company said in a statement. "The ship’s crew immediately launched a rescue operation, safely bringing 14 people onboard. The crew provided them with medical attention , and is working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard."

Amodio said the crew had to take several trips to the small boat to rescue everyone.

This is video of one of the trips the cruise ship's crew made to bring back those rescued.

This was the ship's first full day of cruising. The eight-day vacation started in Miami and the ship was headed for Honduras. Amodio estimated from a map that the Icon of the Seas was between Cozumel, Mexico and western Cuba.

Captain's legal responsibility to aid boaters in distress

According to Amodio, the crew broadcast "Code Oscar, Code Oscar, Code Oscar," over the loudspeakers, about 3 p.m.

"Then shortly after, the captain came back on the speaker and announced they spotted a distressed vessel, and they were going to turn us around and investigate," she said. 

Amodio said that after the rescue, the captain announced that the crew had rescued 14 people stranded at sea for eight days. The captain said he didn't know what country they came from.

All the rescued people left the ship the next day while docked in Roatan, Honduras, she said.

HOW TO WATCH FOX WEATHER

The 1,197-foot long ship cost $1.79 billion to build, has 20 decks, and can hold a maximum of 7,600 people.

According to maritime law, a ship and crew have a legal and moral obligation to help save human life.

"A master of a ship at sea, which is in a position to be able to provide assistance on receiving a signal from any source that persons are in distress at sea, is bound to proceed with all speed to their assistance," stated the International Maritime Organization .

Code Oscar is unique to Royal Caribbean, according to Marine Insight . The emergency code is usually used when a person falls overboard. Captains use the signal instead of shouting orders to "prevent the potentiality of chaos."

This is the Icon of the Seas' inaugural season. Its very first voyage with passengers was early this year, and FOX Weather got a tour.

Tiara’s New 54-Foot Yacht Has a Deck That Transforms Right in Front of You

The ex54 has a modular design that allows owners to reconfigure the yacht's back end for different purposes. we step on board., kevin koenig, kevin koenig's most recent stories, open space, eco-friendly tech: what a rising class of millennial superyacht owners looks for, ‘people don’t want to be inside’: how the outdoors became yachtmakers’ most coveted design element.

Tiara Yachts is a U.S. builder that values adventure as a key piece of its DNA. I’ve done trips on board a number of their boats that were focused on fishing and diving. Those models were built for fun—small and sporty with a wind-in-your-hair vibe.

The next model down is the new EX54, which debuted at last month’s Miami show. With a length that is six feet smaller, this boat is just as creative with yacht-y accoutrements, along with attention to detail that cements Tiara’s next-generation ambitions. I had a chance to step aboard to see the similarities with the EX60.

The EX54’s’s cockpit will most likely lure many owners away from similar-sized competitors, thanks to its customizability. It comes in three setups that include a social version with two settees facing one another, an adventure configuration that loses the rear settee to make room for dive tanks and scuba gear, or a “glass-patio” design with modular ottomans.

The boat in Miami had the double settee which, coupled with mezzanine seating a few steps up and forward, gave this boat the feel of a larger motoryacht, in line with the trend of maximizing the exterior space that is currently in vogue in the superyacht world. The mezzanine seating featured a flip-down teak bar to port with a flip-up window with Australian undertones. I found it a bit odd that the bar was not adjacent to the amidships galley for easier service.

The EX54’s cabin featured two Tiara hallmarks: high-level woodwork and a focus on ergonomics. The teak across the main deck was richly grained, with snug joinery. Handholds were common as well, but discreetly embedded in structures like a dining table and a countertop so as not to dim the yacht’s aesthetic appeal.

Other nods to onboard comfort can be found down in the full-beam master amidships that is remarkably roomy for a boat this size, a trait that extended to the head where the shower had 6-feet, 8-inches of headroom and enough shoulder space for just about anyone, short of NBA stature, to fit comfortably.

The boat is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS2 950s that is paired with a glass cockpit by Garmin. The joystick control gives the driver excellent slow-speed maneuverability and high-speed handling as well as low noise. In speed tests, the boat reached a top end of 38.7 mph, with a friendly cruise of 30.6 mph that delivered a 334-mile range.

In the end, what you’re getting is a yacht with Tiara’s trademark DNA for adventure and seaworthiness in a package that is decidedly more luxe. It’s a combination that that should be appealing, both to Tiara owners looking to move up, and to owners of foreign-built vessels that may soon come around to the rising tide of American build quality.

Local news | boat sinks and leaks fuel for 3 days in fort lauderdale’s las olas isles.

Doug Thron was strolling back to his houseboat on the Isle of Venice in Fort Lauderdale when he got a strong whiff of something ghastly.

“I thought ‘My God, what’s that smell?’” Thron said Tuesday.

It turned out to be diesel fuel from a boat that sank to the bottom of the canal on Saturday.

“I couldn’t even stay on my houseboat for the last few days because the smell is so strong,” Thron said. “The whole neighborhood is up in arms about it.”

Worried about the fuel spreading and possibly killing marine life, Thron says he and his neighbors called “everyone under the sun,” including the local fire department, the U.S. Coast Guard and officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Finally, on Tuesday afternoon, Thron says he was relieved to see the salvage company Tow Boat U.S.A. show up to remove the leaking boat.

Fort Lauderdale firefighters checked things out on Saturday after getting a complaint about the boat sinking, Fire Chief Stephen Gollan said

The firefighters alerted the Coast Guard.

“At that time, there were no leaks,” Gollan said. “On Sunday they went out again and noticed it was beginning to leak.”

Coast Guard officials were in touch with the owner by Monday, Gollan said.

“Tow Boat U.S.A. told us on Monday they were still waiting on approval from the owner to move the boat,” Gollan said.

In the meantime, the salvage company is cleaning up the immediate area where the boat sank, Gollan said.

But with tidal surge, some of the diesel fuel and possibly motor oil might have spread into nearby waterways, Gollan said. If the damage is widespread, Gollan said the city would hire a subcontractor to handle the cleanup and bill the owner. But it’s too soon to say if that’s the case, he said.

“We won’t know until the boat’s gone,” Gollan said.

The boat wasn’t towed away until just before 5 p.m.

Thron says he was stunned that no one took action right away.

“A boat like that could probably hold a few hundred gallons of fuel,” Thron said. “I would have thought in this day and age, there would have been a rapid response. To me, it was a huge deal. If a boat is leaking gas into a waterway, the government should be able to step in and remove it and figure out who pays later. Now the fuel is all over the canal.”

But government officials are required to first find the owner, said Mark Ercolin, an attorney specializing in maritime law.

“Here’s how it would usually go,” he said. “ Boat sinks . First question is, who owns the boat? If they can’t find the owner, it becomes a big question of who pays the salvage company. … It’s not done for free.”

Thron says he’s worried about all the fish and manatees that swim up and down the canal. He hasn’t seen any since the boat started leaking on Sunday.

Nearby resident Suzee Bailey wondered why the city didn’t put up signs warning people about the fuel spill.

“We have signs when there’s heavy flooding,” Bailey said. “Do you think it’s healthy to be paddle boarding through those areas? People can smell the fumes, but what about what you can’t smell? My first concern is public safety. How can you worry about what you don’t know about?”
