Let me first start by saying that the customer service is amazing! Marcos got back to me in lightning speed of me emailing him. He communicated throughout the week to make sure we were still on for our session, was extremely knowledgeable about his boat / boards / etc. He made the experience well worth it! The boat itself was beautiful and clean as well as the equipment. We will definitely back and had the best time! Thank you so much!

This was SO SO fun, and Marcos is such a professional and patient teacher. I went with my middle-aged plus dad-bod self, a teenage son and two of his friends. Two were beginners and the two of us experienced. We were all able to do it and have a great successful time, and Marcos took us to parts of the bay that were not choppy despite it being kind of windy. I heard about it from a friend whose daughter went for a birthday party and they also had a total blast. I was a little worried because I mostly waterski and this was wakeboarding, but really had such a great time. It was very clear that Marcos really knows what he is doing. We live nearby so will absolutely be back often.

Marco is the best. We did a wakeboard and wake surf lesson with myself and my 8 year son. Marco gave me a ton of instruction and improved my wake surfing a ton. Most importantly, he was amazing with my kid. I will be 100% be doing another lesson soon.

My girlfriend and I booked the 90 minute wake surfing session and loved it! What a great way to spend time on the water in Miami. Marco and Joey were so professional, friendly, and fun. Great coaching and advice to get us both wake surfing with no rope after just a few attempts. New wake boat and boards as well. Highly recommend and we will definitely do this again during our next trip to Miami!

This was the second time I booked with Gator bait. I came back because they are such good instructors, the boats are clean and nice, the pricing is reasonable and they are patient to help all of the customers try to get up on the board. I feel like they really went out of their way to take good care of us and I will be back.

Had a great time with these guys. Communication was easy getting things set up. They showed up on time. Grew up wake boarding, these guys have an amazing boat (fits 10 people, throws a nice wake, easy to play your own music, and a smooth ride in choppy water), and if youre an experienced boarder, this guy is a great driver as well. Finally, they did a fantastic job teaching my friends how to wake surf and wake board.

Have gone wake surfing and wake boarding with these great folks many times. Have gone with our kids and with just adults. Every time it has been an absolute blast.

We are from Louisiana in Miami for the week. Our family is a wake surfing one and always looking for an opportunity to hit the water. We calledGATOR BAIT for a wake surfing experience. Well we got that, Nick was a pleasure to be with and helped my 13 year old son work on his 360’.We will definitely be back in Miami and will hook up with GATOR BAIT again!Tim, Monique and Jean-LucFalse River, Louisiana

I had a great experience on the water. Marcos is a real good instructor and communicated in an easy to understand way. The boat and equipment were top notch as stated. I was worried about the conditions since winds were 25-30 mph in Miami Beach, but Marcos had me out to a pretty calm spot within 5 minutes of leaving the dock. I would highly recommend booking with Gator Bait wakeboard school.

Review №51

Very knowledgeable and professional. I brought my wife to Miami to celebrate our anniversary and I forgot to do the only thing she asked me to do which was make reservations for wakeboarding. Sunday morning she asks when we are wakeboarding. I try to make reservations but there is zero availability anywhere in the area. Marco is the only person out of 7 or 8 places I called that tells me “It’s early if anyone cancels he’ll let me know”. Two hours later as I’m shopping with my wife trying to buy my way out of the dog house Marco calls and lets me know there was a cancellation at 6:00 pm. His last available spot on Sunday. His unselfish professionalism and customer service bailed me out of a hole and made my wife’s trip. Add that to his knowledge and teaching skills and you can’t go wrong.

We had such a great time surfing with Marcos! He is very reliable and was able to accommodate us last minute on a busy Saturday. Biscayne Bay is a calm place to learn and you have the beautiful city of Miami as a backdrop. Marcos is a true professional in every sense of the word - my daughters have surfed before but he was able to get them to the next level. We cant wait until our next trip.

I visited Miami in January and with a small wetsuit i felt fine. Gator Bait was very patient with my friend and I learning for our first times. Both snowboarded before but never wake board. We spent two hours for two people which was just enough. Next time i go ill spend less time falling and more time above the water lol

Review №75

I took my boyfriend wakeboarding for his birthday. We did an hour on the boat which was enough time for two people. Marcos was a great instructor and gave us many tips to help us improve our skills. The boat itself is gorgeous and so is the view!! Definitely worth every penny. I can’t wait to come back and refer this to all my friends!

Marcos with Gator Bait Wakeboard School is one of the best attractions in Key Biscayne.He is patient, courteous and extremely polite.Wake boarding is a great way to unwind and have fun! I went with all of my family a total of 7 of us and he knew how to get along with everyone perfectly.Once in the water you may fall quite a few times but his constructive criticism will have you up and jumping waves in no time!Enjoy your ride, its worth it!!!Cari & Family

Joey and Marcos were great instructors. My boys (20 and 17) were able to get to another level of skill. It was cold (58 degrees) but no worries as the boat had two wetsuits. Great day with the boys and they said it was their favorite part of the Christmas vacation.
