Our Story
WakeXscape was born out of a desire to break free from the ordinary Miami charter experience. We knew there was something missing—too often, guests had little input on their itinerary, water-based activities were limited, and a significant portion of their time on the boat was spent simply traveling. It felt as if the adventure was happening around them, not for them.
This all changed when we took our friends out on a wakeboat for the very first time. No one in Miami had experienced anything quite like it—gliding over crystal-clear waters with the skyline rising in the distance, the wind tangling playfully in their hair, and the exhilaration of mastering a new watersport. Surrounded by close friends, their favorite songs pumping through an incredible JL Audio sound system, everyone reveled in a moment that felt both intimate and epic. Not only did it provide unforgettable memories and incredible content, it also opened their eyes to the wealth of watersports possibilities right here in Miami.
Inspired by those reactions, we set out to craft something different, an experience that truly puts the guest’s desires front and center. At WakeXscape, we’re committed to empowering our clients to shape their own adventures—whether that means carving up the wake, drifting along scenic coastlines, or discovering hidden intercoastal islands. Because our boat is both powerful and agile, we can effortlessly move to the perfect spot, ensuring your time is spent doing exactly what you want.
And it’s easier than ever to begin your journey with us. Conveniently located at the iconic Miami Beach Marina, WakeXscape removes all the barriers that once stood between you and your dream day on the water. We took a simple vision—sharing an extraordinary watersports escape with friends—and transformed it into a company that celebrates freedom, creativity, and the pure joy of riding the wave.
