CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Highly recommend this boating company! I have rented from multiple boating companies, and this experience was one of the best. We had two captains that ensured we all had the best time! They tracked the radar to make sure we stayed out of the rain. They were also super helpful on the boat with drinks/food/towels/cleaning etc. The level of professionalism was highly appreciated. The boat was also in great condition!

Thank you Miami Boat Experts for the great experience I had. I loved the boat ride and locations we visited. Captain Jessie is clearly a skillful sailor and friendly man. Mate Angie is very attentive: always concerned with keeping her guests comfortable and happy. Between both of them, they make an splendid crew that will make one feel very safe while cruising. I would 100% recommend and look forward to a future trip!

We had the best time with Captain Jesse and Emilio. They took our group of 6 on an amazing tour ending up at sandbar. Several touches such as floaty toys, bottled water, cooler, ice etc. made the trip so much more pleasurable. Not to mention the two beautiful dogs! We had the best time and would highly recommend a trip with these guys. Thanks for the memories!

Great service and great experience, Jesse and his team went beyond making us feel comfortable! We had a great time sailing! We had the chance to see super nice views and stop for swimming in a nice area! I highly recommend using these guys for a boat trip! Totally recommended.

Capitan Paul and assistant Vic put what would have been a perfect experience completely over the top. They were professional, kind and constantly making sure we were well taken care of. We rented the boat for meetings and they made our guests feel welcome and well served. I would highly recommend this team! Of course the boat was beautiful!

I've been on a lot of boats around the world and by far this is my best experience. Jesse, the Captain, made us feel very comfortable in his abilities to maneuver around the city and he was really funny as well. Angie was like a superwoman between being an amazing deckhand and filling every one of our drinks before we even had a chance to ask. Definitely coming back soon!

My family and I had a great time on this boat! Frank and Aldred had great communication and explained everything thoroughly. The boat was clean and spacious for our party of 8ppl. Daniel our captain was very calm and chill. It wasn't the vibe we were going for on our trip but he was very polite, I'm sure it works for others. Overall we had an amazing time and are definitely coming back!

Planning this customized experience was amazing!!! The inquiry response time was super fast and informative! We were able to confirm booking and communicate details to make the experience perfect! The boat captain took my clients on a sail that they will remember forever!!! The best part about this company is the service!!! I was out of the country and unable to communicate with my clients and they stepped right in!!! I had no worries- they took care of EVERYTHING!!! So much so, my clients almost booked a 2nd sail!!!!! You will not regret booking this experience!!!!! Thank you for being soooo AMAZING and taking care of my Travel Family!!!

This is a MUST! If you love the water and the sandbar I recommend 5-7 hours! The 1 hour ride there is awesome. Beautiful homes, jet skiers, dolphins and cool people waving as you go by. The boat was dope! We had our feast all throughout day and Kiara made sure everyone was taken care of! Easy to get to and parking in the lot is $4/hour. Unload and then you’re off! The weather wa s perfect, the Mat was perfect too!! You drink way less than you think too because you’re too busy having fun and laying out! BOOK WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rented this boat with group of friends and had the best time! We got stuck in traffic on the way and got there over an hour late but the captain still made the shortened trip so memorable and exciting!!! It was clean, well equipped. The staff was so communicative prior and gave us the best experience on board. Highly recommend!

Captain Jorge & Kiara were amazing! They were so kind & were extremely tentative. We did a small tour & then stopped a few times to swim. The water mat was fun & could hold our whole group of 10 girls! I would absolutely recommend & do this again when I come back to Florida!

10/10 Overall Experience ! Once you book your trip you’ll have to choose your own captain and First Mate from the list they provide . I had the opportunity to ride with Captain Jorge A Gurfinkiel & First Mate Valentina Sanglade. Captain was chill and laid back & Valentina was sooo sweet, helpful and very hands on which made us feel safe and gave us the confidence to try different water activities— because we don’t know how to swim lol. At one point we were soo lit and turnt but we NEVER felt uncomfortable or judged , which is so refreshing - if anything they hyped us up more. I was with a group of 8 people (18yrs-26yrs) . The boat was affordable, clean , nice , and we were able to connect to the Bluetooth on the yacht and everything was perfect ! Communication with Norma was easy, fast , and clear . I highly recommend

How to Rent a Boat with Getmyboat

Frequently asked questions.

Answer: Boat rentals in North Miami can vary in price, with rates starting at around $100 per hour for small boats and reaching up to $1000 or more per hour for luxury private yacht charters. The cost depends on the type of boat, its size, and any additional features it may offer.

Answer: Some of the top destinations to explore by boat from North Miami include Miami Beach, the scenic beauty of Biscayne Bay, the bustling Miami River, the serene Maule Lake, and various enchanting islands such as Star Island and Fisher Island. Each location offers unique experiences and stunning views for boaters to enjoy.

Answer: Depending on the type of boat you plan to rent in North Miami, you may need a boating license. For specific vessels like houseboats and jet skis, a boating license is typically required. However, guided charters and basic power boats often do not necessitate a boating license. It's essential to check with the rental company to understand the specific licensing requirements for your chosen boat.

Answer: Prior to renting a boat in North Miami, it's crucial to ensure that the rental boat is equipped with essential safety gear. This includes an adequate number of life jackets for all passengers, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, navigation lights, and any other required safety equipment as stipulated by local regulations. Ensuring these safety measures are in place enhances your on-water experience.

Answer: North Miami offers a wide range of popular on-water activities for boating enthusiasts. You can enjoy fishing excursions, exhilarating wakeboarding adventures, underwater exploration through snorkeling, leisurely sightseeing cruises to take in the breathtaking scenery, stops at charming waterside restaurants for dining, beach outings, or simply cruising around to relax and unwind on the water.

Answer: To secure your preferred boat and desired rental dates in North Miami, it's advisable to make your reservation at least 1 week in advance. This ensures you have ample time for planning, especially during peak seasons when boat availability may be limited. For larger charter boats and to guarantee availability, booking even further in advance is recommended.

ABOUT FAMILY FRIENDLY CHARTERING

A luxury yacht charter is perfect for a romantic getaway or the ultimate vacation..

If you think renting a yacht is only for couples, or upscale singles, think again.

By the time you pay to get a family of four or more, to remain a couple of days on-site at one of the main theme parks, or an all-inclusive family resort, you probably are approaching, and maybe even exceeding the cost of the private yacht charter.

That’s why luxury yacht charters have become more and more popular for family vacations. You’ve many more benefits on a yacht charter experience than you can find on every other family vacation.

Only on a luxury yacht charter might you combine 5-star service with the best games water, along with onboard top-end activity systems, with sightseeing shore excursions and perhaps even a celebrity chef. Still, there are a few things to bear in mind if you wish to take your children on a yacht charter vacation.

Choose Your Yacht Wisely

While a yacht charter may be perfect for a family holiday, not all yachts are ideal for households. Choose your boat wisely, ensure it’s family-friendly, and have enough cabins to accommodate all comfortably.

Get the children involved

Before booking your rental route, get your children involved. Have them look at the boats readily available for charter, and the locations, and tell you which appear thrilling to them. Safety is Important – Obviously, your charter captain and crew’s primary concern is the safety of you or your family. It would be best if you impressed upon your children that safety on board is significant business, plus they must hear and comprehend all crew directions regarding safety at sea.

Consider Your Destination

Talk to your charter broker about child friendly locations.

On Board entertainment

Part of searching for a family-friendly yacht charter is making sure that the yacht you select has state-of-the-artwork onboard entertainment systems, video games, computers, etc.

The most recent water toys that children would love, like sea-bobs, jet skis, or water slides.

While the above guidelines are general ways on the way to make any given yacht charter a little even more Kid-friendly, children of different ages, haven’t only diverse physical capabilities, but additionally very different dislikes and likes.

North America Data Center Trends H1 2024

Cloud & ai providers drive demand.

August 19, 2024 10 Minute Read

State of the Market

Explore the top north america data center markets.

• Supply in primary markets increased by 10% or 515.0 megawatts (MW) in H1 2024 and by 24% or 1,100.5 MW year-over-year.
• The overall vacancy rate for primary markets fell to a record-low 2.8% in H1 2024 from 3.3% a year earlier, while the overall vacancy rate for secondary markets fell to 9.7% from 12.7% over the past year.
• Under-construction activity in primary markets hit a record-high 3,871.8 MW, up by 69% from a year earlier. However, a shortage of available power and longer lead times for electrical infrastructure continued to delay construction completions.
• Atlanta under-construction activity increased by 76% year-over-year to 1,289.1 MW.
• Austin and San Antonio’s combined under-construction activity more than quadrupled from a year ago to 463.5 MW.
• Nearly 80% or 3,056.4 of the 3,871.8 MW under construction in primary markets was preleased. While cloud providers continued to lease most available power capacity, artificial intelligence (AI) providers also accounted for a considerable amount of demand.
• Pricing continued to increase, albeit at a slower rate than last year. The average monthly asking rate for a 250- to 500-kilowatt (kW) requirement across primary markets increased by 7% in H1 2024 to $174.06 per kW/month.
• Power availability remained the top consideration in data center site selection.

Figure 1: H1 2024 Wholesale Primary Market Fundamentals

Figure 2: h1 2024 wholesale secondary market fundamentals, national lease pricing.

• Fueled by limited supply and strong demand, the average asking price across primary wholesale colocation markets for a 250- to 500-kW requirement increased by 6.5% in H1 2024 to $174.06 per kW/month.
• Atlanta led all primary markets with a 26% year-over-year increase in pricing, largely due to strong demand from AI providers.
• Rental rates are expected to increase further in H2 2024 due to rising construction and equipment costs.
• Increased demand for high-power computing is creating a significant price disparity between new data centers and legacy facilities. Many existing data centers lack the infrastructure to handle these demanding workloads, further limiting their appeal.

Figure 3: Average Asking Rental Rate with Y-o-Y % Change for Primary Markets 250-500 kW Requirement

Capital markets insights.

• Investment activity was largely centered around new development, as strong tenant demand, rental-rate growth and higher yields continued to fuel a landlord-favorable market.
• Many potential sellers remained on the sidelines, anticipating that lower and more stable interest rates will eventually lead to lower capitalization rates.
• The bid/ask spread between sellers and buyers tightened due to expectations of lower interest rates later this year.
• CBRE expects increased investment volume and sales transactions in H2 2024.
• Digital Realty accounted for most of the investment activity in H1 2024. Cyxtera’s bankruptcy accounted for several other sales transactions.

Notable H1 2024 Investment Activity

• AWS closed on the first phase of its $650 million acquisition of Talen Energy’s nuclear-powered data center campus in Pennsylvania.
• PGIM and Equinix announced their $600 million joint venture development of a new Silicon Valley data center.
• The first phase of a $7 billion joint venture with Blackstone was completed on campuses in Paris, France and Northern Virginia. The joint venture also will include development of hyperscale data centers in Frankfurt, Germany.
• A $400 million joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation was announced for development of two 100% preleased data centers in Dallas.
• A 75% interest in a Chicago data center was secured from GI Partners for $385 million.
• A $271 million sale of Digital Realty’s interest in four data centers to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners was completed in relation to Cyxtera’s bankruptcy.

Figure 4: Inventory Growth of Primary Data Center Markets Since 2020

Valuation insights.

• Supply-and-demand dynamics continued to support strong rent growth, which is lowering going-in cap rates and creating opportunities for non-stabilized asset acquisitions with contracts below current market rates. Although the high cost of capital continued to apply upward pressure on cap rates and rates of return, demand for powered land remained strong.
• Determining value for sites that are suitable for data center development has never been more challenging due to the physical, legal and timing aspects of various powered land opportunities. This involves an evaluation of the grid infrastructure to determine how much power will reach the site and by when. The dearth of suitable sites has led to bidding wars for the few that meet certain power and fiber requirements.
• Construction lending activity remained strong, especially for preleased and stabilized assets on track to meet promised lease commencement dates.
• Many of the largest hyperscalers’ new developments will become operational over the next few years, with AI requirements driving further demand. This demand increased throughout H1, leading to significant debt financing by data center providers such as CoreWeave, Aligned and EdgeCore to fund new development.

Figure 5: Primary Markets Net Absorption, Preleasing & Under Construction

Network insights.

• Fiber network growth is expected to continue following hyperscale development in tertiary markets. For example, Mt. Pleasant, WI, Boise, ID and Cheyenne, WY have all seen hyperscale development in recent years, followed by active or planned network deployments. Networks that emerge due to hyperscale presence are typically purpose-built, long-haul or medium-haul and are deployed underground.
• Electric cooperatives, covering 56% of U.S. landmass, are accelerating their expansion into the broadband market as part of a broader strategy to enhance internet access and improve grid management. As of March 2024, more than 25% of U.S. electric co-ops have deployed broadband services by leveraging existing infrastructure, right-of-way and government grants and subsidies. For example, First Electric Co-op has more than 4,300 miles of fiber deployed across 18 counties, while EPB in Chattanooga has speeds up to 25 gigabits available for anyone on the network. Many more co-ops are expected to launch broadband and fiber deployment initiatives in the next few years.
• Major fiber providers continued to expand their networks to connect more locations. Regional and specialty fiber providers also expanded their network footprints, including Zayo, Windstream, FiberLight, Arcadian Infracom, Segra and Conterra Networks deploying thousands of miles of middle-mile, regional and purpose-built networks.

Figure 6: Total Inventory vs. Under Construction by Primary Market, H1 2024

Figure 7: total inventory vs. under construction by secondary market, h1 2024, data center outlook.

• Adoption and utilization of digital applications will continue to drive data center demand due to more storage, computing and processing of data.
• Power delivery timelines will continue to increase in H2 2024 due to a shortage of readily available equipment, such as transformers, switches and generators. Difficulty in procuring critical equipment will lead to power delivery delays of up to four years.
• Markets such as Northern Indiana, Idaho, Arkansas and Kansas will continue to draw interest from hyperscalers and developers due to land availability and power availability timelines.
• Occupiers will be forced to prelease space between two and four years ahead of completion to meet their future data center requirements.
• We expect increased adoption of fixed wireless and fiber-to-the-home solutions to help provide high-speed connectivity across the U.S.
• The federal funds rate is expected to decrease slightly in H2 2024, which may loosen lending conditions.

Trends to Watch

• The rise of AI and machine learning is driving significant changes in data centers, including increased use of graphics processing units (GPUs) and liquid cooling to reduce the heat from these more power-intensive applications.
• With carbon emission goals for 2030 rapidly approaching, will improvements in cooling efficiency, recycling waste heat and renewable energy power generation sources become imperative for operators in H2 2024?
• Will mainstream adoption of new applications requiring edge computing occur in H2 2024?
• Will an unexpected event disrupt capital expenditures to improve utility transmission and distribution across the country?
• Semiconductor chips and graphics processor companies continue to grow top-line revenue at an impressive rate. Will hyperscaler capital expenditures continue to grow in tandem with GPU production?
• Will historically low natural gas prices over the past year rise in H2 2024?
• Has public perception of nuclear power improved enough that small modular reactors can be used to power data centers?

U.S. Justice Department sues RealPage, alleging it enabled price-fixing on rents

By Megan Cerullo

Edited By Anne Marie Lee

Updated on: August 23, 2024 / 7:59 PM EDT / CBS News

The Justice Department on Friday filed an antitrust lawsuit against RealPage, a property management software provider, alleging it enabled a collusion among landlords to inflate rents for millions of Americans. 

The complaint claims the Richardson, Texas-based company and its competitors engaged in a price-fixing scheme by sharing nonpublic, sensitive information, which RealPage's algorithmic pricing software used to generate pricing recommendations. The company replaced competition with rent coordination to the detriment of renters across the U.S., according to the suit, monopolizing the market through its revenue management software which was used by landlords to maximize rent costs. 

The DOJ is joined by the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington. The complaint alleges that RealPage violated sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, an antitrust law.

"Americans should not have to pay more in rent because a company has found a new way to scheme with landlords to break the law ," Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement Friday. "We allege that RealPage's pricing algorithm enables landlords to share confidential, competitively sensitive information and align their rents. Using software as the sharing mechanism does not immunize this scheme from Sherman Act liability, and the Justice Department will continue to aggressively enforce the antitrust laws and protect the American people from those who violate them."

Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said RealPage violated a century-old law in a modern way, by using an AI-powered algorithm to coordinate rent prices, "undermining competition and fairness for consumers in the process."

"Training a machine to break the law is still breaking the law. Today's action makes clear that we will use all our legal tools to ensure accountability for technology-fueled anticompetitive conduct," she said in a statement. 

RealPage claims the allegations against the company are false, and insists that RealPage customers decide their own rent prices and can reject the algorithm's recommendations. The company added that it uses data responsibly. 

"RealPage's revenue management software is purposely built to be legally compliant, and we have a history of working constructively with the DOJ to show that," a spokesperson for the company said in a statement to CBS News. 

The lawsuit comes as Americans struggle to afford necessities from housing to groceries, with high housing costs contributing to persistent inflation.

"As Americans struggle to afford housing, RealPage is making it easier for landlords to coordinate to increase rents," said Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. "Today, we filed an antitrust suit against RealPage to make housing more affordable for millions of people across the country. Competition – not RealPage – should determine what Americans pay to rent their homes."  

RealPage acknowledged that its product was designed to maximize profits for landlords, according to the suit, by describing it as "driving every possible opportunity to increase price."

A landlord praised RealPage's software, saying they liked it because the algorithm "uses proprietary data from other subscribers to suggest rents and term. That's classic price fixing..."

Crime and Public Safety

Crime and public safety | south florida man faces federal charges after passenger killed on scuba charter boat trip.

Dustin Sean McCabe, 49, was charged by indictment Aug. 22, which was unsealed Thursday, federal court records show. He owned and operated Florida Scuba Charters, Inc. while a resident of Palm Beach County and St. Lucie County, according to the indictment.

McCabe bought a 1988, 48-foot Ocean Yachts Cruiser in March 2020 that he named “Southern Comfort,” which was only approved as a recreational boat by the U.S. Coast Guard, according to the indictment. After purchasing the boat, McCabe allegedly had the boat modified so he  “could use the vessel for paid scuba charters, with those modifications including removing the main deck engine controls so that the vessel could only be controlled from the bridge,” the indictment alleged.

He operated two commercial charter trips in late March 2020 on the boat. The indictment alleges that on March 29, 2020, McCabe’s negligence in operating the boat “caused the life of M.C.G.F. to be destroyed.” The indictment does not provide further information about the seaman’s manslaughter charge.

The woman is identified in court records in a separate federal wrongful death lawsuit as Mollie Catherine Ghiz-Flynn, of Melbourne. Ghiz-Flynn and her husband went on a dive trip aboard McCabe’s boat, where they stopped at an area known as Breaker’s Reef about a mile-and-a-half offshore southeast of the Palm Beach Inlet near Lake Worth Beach, according to the lawsuit complaint.

Ghiz-Flynn and her husband surfaced after their first dive and were attempting to get onto the back of the boat when McCabe reversed the gearshift of the boat, which sucked both Ghiz-Flynn and her husband underneath. Ghiz-Flynn was caught in the moving propeller, the lawsuit said.

Her husband watched as people tried to save his wife’s life. She was pronounced dead by the time the boat returned to the marina, the complaint said.

The Coast Guard suspended McCabe from operating the boat as a passenger boat in early April 2020 after the passenger’s death, according to the indictment. McCabe then allegedly then submitted fraudulent applications to receive money from the federal Paycheck Protection Program that launched during the pandemic.

After filing the fraudulent applications, McCabe received two separate loans that were both later forgiven, one for more than $18,000 and one for more than $20,000, the indictment alleged.

Federal prosecutors said in the news release that Coast Guard Investigative Service special agents arrested McCabe. He is facing charges one count of seaman’s manslaughter, one count of making false statements and three counts of wire fraud.

If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison for the manslaughter charge, up to five years for the making false statements charge and up to 20 years for the charges of wire fraud, prosecutors said.

McCabe’s first appearance is scheduled for Sept. 12 in West Palm Beach.
