Sightseeing & Yacht Tours in Miami

See Miami from the water on a private sightseeing cruise — skyline, islands, mansions, wildlife & hidden corners of Biscayne Bay — with your own route, music and local captain.

Tell us your date, time of day, group size, pace (chill vs. high-energy) & must-see stops. We’ll match you with the right Miami sightseeing cruise or private yacht tour for Biscayne Bay, Star Island, Millionaire’s Row, Miami River and more.

Who our sightseeing & yacht tours in Miami are for

Our private sightseeing cruises are designed for guests who want to actually see Miami — not just the inside of a club or hotel.

  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families & multigenerational trips who want a safe, comfortable way to see Miami by boat.
  • 🌎 Visitors & first-timers looking for a “show me Miami from the water” experience.
  • 💼 Corporate groups & clients who want a relaxed, hosted tour instead of another meeting room.
  • 📸 Content creators & photographers chasing skyline, sunset & island backdrops.
  • 💑 Couples & small groups mixing sightseeing with a glass of wine and good music.
  • 🏡 Locals rediscovering their city or showing it off to out-of-town guests.
Types of sightseeing cruises & tours we offer

All of our tours are private — just your group, your captain and your route.

  • 🌴 Biscayne Bay & Island Tours
    Glide past Fisher Island, Star Island, Palm & Hibiscus with stories about the homes, history and skyline.
  • 🏙️ Miami Skyline & Millionaire’s Row Cruises
    Classic “postcard Miami” routes with mansions, yachts and city lights.
  • 🌅 Sunset & Golden Hour Tours
    Timed for soft light, photos and cooler temps with a relaxed, scenic pace.
  • 🌙 Nighttime & City Lights Cruises
    See Miami Beach, Brickell and Downtown glowing from the water with reflections on the bay.
  • 🌿 Nature-Focused Routes*
    When conditions allow, look for manatees, dolphins, seabirds and mangrove shorelines on more nature-leaning itineraries.
  • 🛥️ “Highlights of Miami from the Water”
    A greatest-hits route that combines islands, skyline, river & bridges into one cruise (time allowing).

Just tell us if your priority is views, photos, wildlife, architecture or “a little of everything” — we’ll tune the route to your group and charter length.

What you can see on a Miami sightseeing cruise

Exact views depend on tides, weather, sea conditions & departure marina, but popular highlights include:

  • 🏝️ Star Island, Palm Island & Hibiscus Island — mansions, celebrity homes & impressive yachts.
  • 🏙️ Downtown Miami & Brickell skyline — high-rise views from the middle of Biscayne Bay.
  • 🌉 Causeways & bridges — MacArthur, Venetian & Rickenbacker for classic Miami shots.
  • 🚤 Miami River* — a different side of Miami, with working boats, restaurants and older waterfront areas.
  • 🌊 South Beach & government cut channel — cruise near the port and out toward the open ocean (when safe and appropriate).
  • 🌿 Mangroves, keys & coves* — more natural, protected corners of Biscayne Bay (conditions and route permitting).

*Some areas require specific timing, tides or departure points — when you contact us, mention which names or neighborhoods you’re most curious about.

Sample sightseeing itineraries & ideal durations

Here are common ways guests use their 2–4 hour sightseeing charter. We’ll adjust based on your marina and interests.

  • ⏱️ 2-Hour Highlights Cruise
    Perfect if you’re short on time — a focused loop hitting islands, skyline & a few “wow” moments for photos.
  • ⏱️ 3-Hour Sightseeing + Chill Stop
    Mix touring with a short pause in a calm spot for drinks, photos or a quick dip (when conditions & boat allow).
  • ⏱️ 4-Hour “See It All” Cruise
    A relaxed pace with more room to explore Millionaire’s Row, Miami River, islands & skyline without rushing.

Not sure how long you need? Tell us your must-see list and we’ll recommend a realistic duration so you’re not squeezed or over-booked.

Guides, languages, photos & comfort details

We can keep things quiet and scenic or add more structured explanations and support — it’s your tour.

  • 🗣️ Light commentary: many captains offer relaxed, conversational explanations about what you’re seeing.
  • 🌐 Language preferences: let us know if you’d prefer Spanish-forward communication or simpler English for international guests.
  • 📸 Photo support: captains can pause in scenic spots and help with group photos & content moments.
  • 🧊 Drinks & snacks: most tours are BYOB-friendly — we’ll clarify what’s allowed, ice & cooler options.
  • 🪑 Shade & seating: we can recommend boats with more shaded, comfortable seating for elders or younger kids.
  • Mobility notes: share any mobility needs so we can aim for easier boarding & safer layouts.

If you tell us who’s coming — ages, languages, mobility and how “chatty” you want the tour — we’ll shape everything around your group.

Pricing, what’s included & payment options

We keep Miami sightseeing tour pricing simple and transparent — so you can focus on enjoying the views.

  • Included in your quote: private boat or yacht, captain, basic fuel for your route & standard marina fees.

Miami Yacht Anchor Spots & Scenic Night Cruises in Miami

Pick your overnight plan. Tap a row to see anchor notes, night views and cruise ideas. Filter by evening cruise vs full overnight stay.

South Beach & Miami Beach Marina

Best: Overnight at dock

Sleep aboard steps from South Beach. Enjoy a sunset cruise past Government Cut, then settle into a quiet overnight slip with shore power, showers and easy access to restaurants and nightlife.

Downtown Miami & Brickell Bay

Best: Evening + Overnight

Golden-hour cruise through the river and Brickell high-rises, then dock overnight in the city’s heart. Watch the skyline glow from your aft deck and enjoy coffee at sunrise in Biscayne Bay.

Nixon Sandbar & Key Biscayne Bay

Best: Sunset into Night

Classic afternoon sandbar + sunset combo just off Key Biscayne. Anchor in shallow water for swimming, then enjoy the city lights from a calm bay anchorage before returning to a marina or staying out where allowed.

Miami Marine Stadium (Virginia Key)

Best: Evening at anchor

Sheltered basin beside the iconic, graffiti-covered stadium. Great for a calm sunset anchor with skyline views, paddleboards and drone shots before moving to an overnight-friendly marina or mooring.

Hobie Beach & Rickenbacker Causeway

Best: Sunset swim

Laid-back stretch with skyline views, windsurfers and shallow water. Ideal for a pre-overnight swim stop before continuing to your night anchorage or marina.

Haulover Sandbar & North Miami ICW

Best: Day-to-Night

Start with a lively day at Haulover Sandbar, then cruise the Intracoastal through Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles as the condo lights come on. Overnight at a North Miami marina for a calmer sleep.

Elliott Key (Biscayne National Park)

Best: Quiet overnight

For a more remote overnight, cruise south into Biscayne National Park and anchor or dock near Elliott Key where allowed by current park rules. Expect darker skies, quieter water and a true mini-getaway feel compared to the city lights.

Boca Chita Key (Biscayne National Park)

Best: Island sleepover

Postcard-perfect island harbor with lighthouse inside Biscayne National Park. When dock space and regulations allow, it’s one of the most memorable spots for a 1–2 night yacht escape from Miami.

Fisher Island & Government Cut Night Cruise

Best: Night cruise

Slow-roll past Fisher Island, cruise ships and the open-ocean inlet at night. Perfect as the “wow” leg of an overnight charter before you return to South Beach or Island Gardens to sleep aboard in a protected slip.
