Private Boat Tour Miami: 34-Foot Yacht for Up to 12

Your own boat, your own route, the water mat whenever you want it.

A private 34-foot yacht tour in Miami carries up to 12 passengers past the Port of Miami, Star Island and Fisher Island, with a captain steering and a crew aboard. You choose 2, 3 or 4 hours. The sunset option times the cruise for golden hour. Bottled water, ice, a restroom and a floating water mat are included. A marina fee and captain fee apply per tour or per hour depending on the option you pick.

The experience

The boat leaves from Miami's waterfront and heads into the bay, giving you the skyline from the water instead of the street. You'll cruise past the Port of Miami's container ships and cruise terminals, then along Star Island and Fisher Island where the waterfront homes rise behind seawalls and palms. The captain navigates. You stand on deck or sit in the shade, watching the city recede and the water open up. A Bluetooth system plays whatever you want, and the cooler stays stocked with ice and bottled water.

The 12-foot floating water mat is yours to use whenever the mood strikes: some groups anchor and spend an hour on it, others just let it trail behind as an option. The boat has a restroom onboard, which matters on a 3 or 4-hour run. If you book the sunset cruise, the timing is built around the hour the light turns gold. The city lights start coming on as you head back to the marina.

A guide speaks English or Spanish and can point out what you're passing, but this isn't a narrated tour with fixed stops. It's your private boat, your pace, your choice of where to linger or move on. Families, couples, small groups and celebrations all work the same way. You're paying for the boat and the captain, not for a schedule someone else designed.
