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.

All aboard the Big Nude Boat: Florida’s newest clothing-free Caribbean cruise

The Norwegian Pearl, Bare Necessities’ next Big Nude Boat. Bare Necessities Tour & Travel

Why did the nudist refuse sunscreen? Well — obviously he didn’t want to be caught overdressed.

But fear not, for such a dilemma is nonexistent aboard the Big Nude Boat, poised to depart from Miami, Florida, in 2025.

Embracing the ethos of “less is more,” this seafaring Caribbean adventure will offer an escape from the constraints of clothing during an 11-day journey that runs from Feb. 3 through Feb. 14, 2025.

Bare Necessities, the nude cruise specialists, have organized dozens of similar cruises in the past. But now they’re teaming up with Norwegian Cruise Line, and for the first time, the Big Nude Boat will sail out of Miami.

Passengers will sail aboard the Norwegian Pearl, a 2,300-passenger ship that promises entertainment, open deck space and multiple dining options, including a large nude outdoor dining area, for a culinary experience with an extra side of cheekiness.

Ports of call include the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, San Maarten, Dominica, St. Lucia and Martinique — with plenty of “nude days at sea” thrown in for good measure.

There are a few rules to follow, for example, according to the company website: Lingerie, fetish-wear and excessive genital jewelry are not appropriate. Further, bathrobes are not permitted in the dining room and guests must always sit on a towel or some article of clothing when bare bottomed.

Pricing ranges per person from $2,000 for an inside cabin to $33,155 for a three-bedroom garden villa.

According to the Bare Necessities Tour & Travel website , the company has been “working to break down the barriers against social nudity and make clothing optional vacationing a viable and acceptable option for all” for more than three decades, adding, “We support the belief that sexuality is not a state of undress, but rather, a state of mind.”

Fleet Week Miami sets sail for first time. Here's what you need to know

By Hunter Geisel

Updated on: May 4, 2024 / 4:23 PM EDT / CBS Miami

MIAMI — After docking in Fort Lauderdale for over three decades, South Florida's Fleet Week is setting a course for Miami this year.

Last July , Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, alongside U.S. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro, and other officials announced at PortMiami that the maritime event will take place from May 7 to May 13.

Fleet Week traditionally involves active military ships docking in major cities across the country, where U.S. sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen will enter the city and visit its tourist attractions while the public take guided tours of the naval vessels. Military demonstrations and air shows often accompany the dayslong event.

On Monday, May 6, Cava, Toro and Matthew Lewis, chief security officer and senior vice president of Norwegian Cruise Lines, will hold a press conference to launch the event officially under the name "Norwegian Cruise Line Fleet Week Miami."

"The Department of the Navy is tremendously excited to bring the Navy and Marine Corps team to the inaugural Fleet Week Miami" Del Toro said. "Today's Navy reflects the energy, diversity and opportunity that defines South Florida — and indeed the nation. And we want all of South Florida to come join us to honor and to honor these great women and men who serve our nation."  

Here's what you need to know about this year's inaugural event .

Early Shipping

Though the event itself doesn't officially begin until that Tuesday, there are a few things that maritime enthusiasts can enjoy before the ships arrive.

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, the Frost Science Museum will host U.S. Navy and Marines officials where the public can learn about the Navy Stewards of the Sea environmental program, naval aviation, naval scientific research and see demonstrations from the K-9 team. Also, the Navy Band Southeast will provide a free performance.

Additionally, the first of the ships will begin to dock in PortMiami: the USS Bataan, an amphibious assault ship. The U.S. Navy vessel will arrive at approximately 6:45 p.m. and the public can watch its arrival at South Pointe Park in Miami Beach. An F-18 flyover will mark the arrival of the Bataan.

While the USS Bataan will be the first of the ships to arrive, South Floridians will get to see three other U.S. military vessels, all of which will be heralded by the appearance of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman.

Alongside the Bataan, the public will get to tour these ships:

• USS Normandy — Navy guided missile cruiser
• USS Leyte Gulf — Navy guided missile cruiser
• USCGS Seneca — Coast Guard cutter

"The United States Navy is America's Navy.  It's your Navy," said Adm. Daryl Caudle, commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command.  "Fleet Week Miami is a great opportunity for families to come out, tour our ships, connect with our Sailors, and get a better understanding of what your Navy does to protect our homeland."

Tours of the ships are planned for Monday through Sunday, May 6-12. The weekdays will focus on afternoon and evening tours from 1-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m., while Saturday tours are slated to be 9-11 a.m. and 1-4 p.m. Sunday tours will be 9-11 a.m., 1-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. 

All tours are free and tickets will become available online 48 hours in advance of each date on the Fleet Week's Facebook page. Additionally, you may only select one ship per reservation. You can reserve tickets for another vessel on a separate reservation, but be aware that they will be docked at different terminals. For parking information, visit PortMiami's website .

Out of all the military ships coming, only the Truman will not be available for public tours because it will be anchored about 2-3 miles offshore.

Shore Leave

When you're not on deck, there are still plenty of things to do and see during Miami Fleet Week. One activity in particular will be the Navy Recruiting Command's Nimitz — a mobile, state-of-the-art virtual reality experience that simulates a Navy SEAL mission.

Inside the Nimitz, which is housed inside of an 18-wheeler, participants go through a video briefing before strapping on an Oculus Rift headset and a piece of wearable technology called a SubPac that percusses in real time to the sounds of the mission, according to a Navy press release. Visitors navigate the mission using a cutting-edge steering wheel and throttle system that replicate the actual sensation of piloting a high-speed Navy Special Warfare Combatant Craft. Once finished with the simulation, participants then move to the debriefing station, where they receive feedback and a performance grade.

Additionally, Navy recruiting leadership will visit J.P. Taravalla, McArthur, Flanagan, Fort Lauderdale and Coral Gables High Schools to discuss the plethora of STEM careers in the Navy, as well as its $200,000 ROTC Scholarship Program, which pays full college tuition for students with "exceptional academic and leadership credentials."

"We are extremely excited to spend time in Miami, meeting with exceptional students and faculty, and discussing the great opportunities available in today's Navy," said Comm. Dominique Jackson of Navy Diversity and Outreach. "It is important for today's high school students to understand that a Navy STEM career offers opportunities that can't be found anywhere else."

Here are more activities and events you can enjoy throughout the week.

After Cava's official welcome on Monday, the Navy's e-sports team will compete in a friendly video game tournament with students from St. Thomas, Florida Memorial and Florida International Universities. The event is from 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

At 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, up to 50 new U.S. citizens will be welcomed aboard the Bataan to help make their first day as Americans memorable with a naturalization ceremony coordinated with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Headquarters in Miami.

On Wednesday, there are a few things to do. First, there is the JROTC/Youth STEM Summit, where students from Miami-Dade Public Schools will take ship tours, learn about technology careers in the military and private sector, and participate in demonstrations by local tech companies. They'll also hear from leading venture capitalists who will talk about Miami's growing tech sector. The summit will be held from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, Del Toro will hold a special enlistment ceremony for future sailors and Marines in the delayed entry program to take the oath of enlistment onboard a U.S. Navy vessel. The ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m.

Later Wednesday night, 20 visiting military will get a true introduction to South Florida's Latin culture during Dancing with the Stars and Stripes. At this event, they will receive several hours of dance instruction at the Tower Theater on Calle Ocho in preparation for a fun performance at 8 p.m. before judges and a live audience at Domino Plaza. The public is invited to attend.

Thursday night is Fleet Week Innovation Night , where fans can embark on a "journey of discovery" as the U.S. Navy unveils a web of innovation, technology and strategic partnerships that drive its mission to confront global challenges and excel in cyberspace, stated event organizers.

On Friday, visiting military personnel will be honored during Military Night with the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park, where fans can enjoy performances by Navy Band Southeast and watch the F-18 flyover before the Marlins take on the Atlanta Braves.

Saturday morning kicks off with the Fleet Week 5K Miami hosted by GoRun Miami at Tamiami Park at 7 a.m. The Marine Band will provide entertainment and there will be a F-18 flyover before the starting gun at 7:30 a.m. Those who are not running can participate in Zumba and other fitness classes or visit the many vendor booths.

Meanwhile, Zoo Miami will host Navy Day at 10 a.m. While walking among the animals, visitors can meet with sailors and learn more about Navy programs, including the diving tank, and understand environmental stewardship.

Also on Saturday morning, Fleet Week Miami will honor veterans with a special tour of the Leyte Gulf starting at 9 a.m. before holding an official ceremony at 11 a.m. at PortMiami.

And for some friendly competition, teams from the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and local first responders will face off in various sporting events during the City of Miami Beach Top Gun Beach Olympics. The games begin at 9 a.m. at Lummus Park, and they're free and open to the public.

For Sunday, the last of the public tours for the Bataan will be available from 8-11 a.m. and 1-4 p.m.

• U.S. Marine Corps
• South Florida
• United States Coast Guard
• United States Marine Corps
