Miami Yacht Charter: Private 60ft Cruise & 2 Jet Skis

Summary

Private Miami yacht cruise past Fisher Island & Millionaires’ Row

You’ll board a private 60ft yacht in Miami with your own captain and crew, cruising past downtown’s skyline and Millionaires’ Row before anchoring near Fisher Island. Swim off the boat or try two included jet skis while soaking up sun and city views. Expect laughter, good music, and moments you’ll want to remember long after you’re back on land.

What’s the experience like?

“You see that house? That’s where they filmed part of Scarface,” Captain Luis said, grinning as we drifted past Palm Island. I’d barely finished my coffee when we stepped onto the yacht at Biscayne Bay — the air already thick with salt and something sweet from the marina food trucks. The city skyline looked unreal from the water, all glass and sun glare. I didn’t expect to feel so far from everything just minutes after leaving downtown Miami.

The route took us along Brickell and then out toward Millionaires’ Row, where the mansions look almost fake — like someone built them just for show. Our guide pointed out which belonged to celebrities (I only recognized half the names), but honestly I was more into watching pelicans skimming the surface and listening to the low thrum of the engines. There’s this moment when you round toward Fisher Island — suddenly the water turns this wild shade of blue-green, quieter somehow. We dropped anchor not far off shore; some of us jumped in right away while others just sat on deck with cold bottles of water, feet dangling over the side.

I tried one of the jet skis (terrifying at first, then hilarious). The crew were patient, even when I went in circles for a while — Li laughed when I tried to shout “faster” in Spanish and probably butchered it. Later we set up the floating mat and just floated for a bit, watching clouds drift over South Beach. There’s something about being out there that makes you forget time; I still think about that view sometimes when I’m stuck in traffic back home.
