Boucher Brothers

would give negative stars if i could. they wanted $ 165.00 to rent a cabana at the beach by the edition hotel, where we were staying. when we looked shocked by the price the «manager’ was willing to lower it to the bargain price of $ 125.00 with a complimentary tube of sunscreen. wow, thanks. the chairs and umbrellas were less expensive, however the cabanas line the first row by the water, and so instead of looking at the water you face a sea of the backs of cabanas. at least put the cabanas in the back so that the chair and umbrella renters can see the ocean. someone is benefiting, but it’s not the tourists and locals who frequent the beach.

$ 85 for 30mn jetskiing, not cheap but it is south beach. We left at 1pm sharp (there is a big clock on one of the hotel façade) and at 1.20pm they made us come back. That’s a 33% rip off of our time. I definitely do not recommend this place (location near the W)

This place has horrible service, the girl at the beach hut is rude and does not pay attention to the customers that are waiting around the hut! Instead she is texting away until I caught her attention, and then she seemed annoyed that I was interrupting her texting session. Worst customer service ever!
I am a local in South Beach. It tends to get very hot so I decided to rent an umbrella and a chair to stay away from the sun. BEWARE they do have two different types of chairs one with a thin cushion and one which is what they call a «Luxury Chair» that come with a cover. I wanted the basic chair because I was only staying for a few hours. The girl told me they only have luxury chairs on 13^th Street after I told her that I am a local and visit frequently she came up with this other lame story. I was so upset that they would try to cheat me! One this is up selling which I am completely okay with!!! but to lie and tell the customer you only offer that one chair when I clearly see the two side set up with two different chairs … Not acceptable!
Boucher Brothers will NEVER get another dollar from me again! I bought a chair and umbrella at Bed Bath & Beyond. Best money I have ever spent =)

Their umbrellas have Loews Hotel written on them but they are not part of the hotel. When I asked them if the are part of the hotel their answer was «we are a third party helping the hotel.» I can not imagine the Loews hotel needs help providing chairs and umbrellas on the beach. $ 25 an umbrella rental a day! Highway robbery.

I rented out Jet Skis through Boucher Brothers at the Mondrian Hotel. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant! It is a little bit pricey to rent out the jet skis from here compared to other locations; however, overall, we had a positive experience!

We have been coming to the Miami Haulover beach area for 8 years now. We spend a lot of our time on the beach & always rent chairs & umbrellas from The Bouche Brothers. They have outstanding young men working for them & they are always so accommodating to our needs. Awesome company!

Review for 2^nd street location, in front of Marriott South Beach
This terrible beach chair and umbrella rental company bears the Marriott logo, but does not provide any kind of service to Marriott guests and are not actually affiliated with the Marriott hotel. To add insult to injury, staff are pretentious and rude.
On the day after Christmas, we were told they were too busy /​packed /​shortage to give us towels (they had given us towels on the 23^rd). At the time, it was 9:30 AM and there were literally fewer than 5 people using their rental service. Take a look at my included photo to see how «busy» they were at the time.
If they don’t provide towels for free, they should be consistent in doing so. If they don’t provide a service for Marriott guests, they should not be permitted to use the Marriott logo. I think the wonderful Marriott Stanton is being hurt by their affiliation with this company, and intend to tell them so in a long-​winded letter to their corporate office.
Chairs are $ 13 each, $ 19 per umbrella.

50 bucks to rent 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella. I’m not kidding. Actually, I don’t take issue with the crazy expensive rental. They were awarded the contract to rent beach gear, so they can charge what they like. It’s a fairly understandable price point, especially in Miami Beach.
My real gripe was that they only accept cash and they don’t give receipts. The guy did a song and dance about his boss not wanting to issue receipts and that he’d try to do what he could but he couldn’t promise. Shady business if you ask me. Great lounges though!

This is about the beach service around 9^th Street Bad service and over priced for two beds and an umbrella $ 55. The lady in the «beach house» was friendly. But the guy showing us the umbrella was not into service. He only showed us where to sit from a distance.

This is a review for beach chair rentals on South Beach @ 7^th Street entrance. I’m not sure what all the hate is about. I pretty much walked up to kiosk asked for 3 chairs and an umbrella. It’s $ 20 per chair and $ 15 per umbrella. I paid my $ 75 cash not sure if credit/​debit is available and was taken to our seats. The girl that I paid and the gentleman that set up our chairs were nice enough. Good location and comfortable chairs.

Excellent umbrella and chair service with Boucher Brothers at the Loews. Our service by Alex Cerda was great! We were very pleased with experience.

We rented an umbrella and 2 lounge chairs with cushions for $ 55 for the entire day. Everything was great quality, including the service! We were at the 7^th street location and the staff could not have been more helpful or friendly! They were excellent!

Cash or charge… umbrellas or more coverage… nice guys, great service. Thanks for making my day at the beach so much more pleasant. Doubt that I would have stayed as long without your $ 15 umbrella. Worth every penny.

I usually go to the beach and I sit on the sand with beach towels, but this time we got 3 beach chairs and two umbrella and it was such a nice experience. I don’t think I could go back to just sitting on the sand. I would really recommend them.

We used this place to rent/​ride a banana boat. The ride itself was a blast and the guy operating the jet ski was great, but be warned that service is very slow. There’s only one girl working the booth on the shore and she did a fine job but I think they need to hire additional staff to help because we had to stand for around 45 minutes before we were helped. Aside from that everything was great. Prices were a little high but honestly they’re like that all over Miami beach for jet skis/​water sports rental so I can’t complain.

Had an absolutely fantastic jet ski tour! Check in process was easy! We felt very comfortable with the tour guide. There was a place on dock to lock all of our valuables, shoes, etc. Life jackets were clean and in good shape, as were the wave runners. Jose was our guide and he kept a good eye on all of us. He let us ride at our own pace, while making sure we were aware of oncoming boats or no wake zones.
Jose pointed out celebrity homes and different things along the Miami coast!
Great day on the water!

14^th street location. Very hard to figure out where the renting place was. Anyway, $ 25 for a cabana and fortunately they were already set up. Pay & lounge, simple as that.

worst service! I would stay away from this place. like someone said in another review its more or just pay your money and leave. the people that are supposed to be «watching» you incase you fall or an accident happens were not even paying attention.
they guy and girl that run the stand are complete jerks, they act like they are almighty because they have all these people wanting to rent, guys you work at a stand at the beach your not all that, you just come off as pretentious jerks.
save your money and just enjoy the hot Miami weather at the beach! don’t waste your day here waiting hours to get anything.

I don’t understand the negative reviews about being scammed. I went to the 14^th street location, and it’s pretty straight forward. You go to the booth, tell them what you want, pay, and it gets set up.
There are 2 types of lounge chairs. The one with a thinner mat is $ 12, and the one with a thick, cushy towel covered cushion is $ 20. I rented the $ 12 ones and they were great. The umbrella is $ 15.
The boy setting everything up works hard and I watched him put up with a lot of ignorant tourists.

$ 20 for a lounge chair rental and a complementary towel seems pricey. But I will say that I have seen the staff in action bringing out lounge chairs for a family, layered it with cushy fabric towels while grabbing them several beach umbrellas along with extra cushy white towels. They cater to the people and work tirelessly in the hot sun while maintaining a pleasant disposition.
I had just finished a long jog and was out of breath as I gave my fiancée a chance to play in the water. I could barely talk and they were kind enough to allow me to use just a beach umbrella momentarily until I caught my wind. I needed the shade to recover quickly and I am grateful they were nice about and not beach Nazi’s lol.
It must be difficult to inform people of their prices but I did consider taking the lounge chair and complementary towel with beach umbrella for $ 20. Then I was like, nahh, soon as he finishes in the water we will be leaving the beach. However, it is good to know if you came unprepared they are available to meet your needs and will do so with kindness and professionalism.
