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.
๐๏ธ
Miami Marine Stadium (Virginia Key)
Best: Evening at anchor
โ
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.

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.

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.
๐
Boca Chita Key (Biscayne National Park)

Postcard-perfect island harbor with lighthouse inside Biscayne National Park. When dock space and regulations allow, itโs one of the most memorable spots for a 1โ2 night yacht escape from Miami.
โญ
Fisher Island & Government Cut Night Cruise
Best: Night cruise
โ
Slow-roll past Fisher Island, cruise ships and the open-ocean inlet at night. Perfect as the โwowโ leg of an overnight charter before you return to South Beach or Island Gardens to sleep aboard in a protected slip.
