Though captaining a sailboat of coworkers can be an exciting way to build team chemistry, nautical CEOs can cause mutiny if their pep talks fail to ward off incoming typhoons. Explore waterscapes upon a commanding craft instead with today's Groupon: for $21, you get a 45-minute speedboat tour (up to a $32 value) and a framed photo of your experience (a $10 value) at Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventures.

Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventures carries crowds on a comprehensive marine adventure to see the sights of Miami, equipped with a powerful 55-foot catamaran capable of reaching speeds approaching 50 mph. On the tour, a Coast Guard–certified crew will glide passengers across the open water of the Atlantic Ocean, allowing scenic views of the Magic City shoreline and skyline without hitchhiking on passing hang gliders. A cruise around Star Island, Fisher Island, and Biscayne Bay lets guests focus their lenses on exclusive homes featured in movies and owned by celebrities, including Will Smith's crib, a palatial estate formerly owned by Shaq, and the luxury shells of deposed hermit crabs. Cruisers can then commemorate this experience with their own Thriller Miami photo.

Tours depart daily from downtown at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 5 p.m., plus 6:30 p.m. spring and fall and 8 p.m. summer departures. Knowledgeable guides narrate the tour, providing interesting trivia, amusing anecdotes, and poetic horoscopes as passengers behold the picturesque sites. If timed correctly, the tour offers gorgeous sunset views of the Miami skyline and the art deco district of South Beach.

• The tour is really fun and entertaining. The captains of the boat are very courteous and put an effort to ensure you have a good time. – Camille Y., 6/20/09
• You get a little bit of everything: scenic views (I recommend going on the tour at sunset), a thrilling ride (high speed & sharp turns in the ocean), random facts about Miami, and a Hollywood-esque tour of celebrity homes - Miami edition. – Anh H., 2/6/09
