Overview

This isn’t your average crowded group tour — this is your boat, your day, your way.

Enjoy a completely private charter with just your group aboard a sleek, spacious vessel equipped with a premium sound system, comfortable lounge seating, and plenty of shade. You’ll cruise through Biscayne Bay to three of Miami’s best-kept secrets: Indian Creek, known as Billionaire's Bunker, the wildlife-rich Raccoon Island and the famous Haulover Sandbar, known for its clear shallow waters and fun social vibe.

Bring your own drinks and snacks — there’s a cooler onboard with ice and bottled water waiting for you. Whether you want to swim, unwind, party, or spot wildlife, this private charter gives you the freedom to create the perfect day on the water. No crowds. No rush. Just you, the captain you choose, and the best of Miami by boat.

What To Expect

Enjoy a private half-day boat charter designed to show you the best of Miami—without crowds or fixed schedules. This 5-hour experience combines scenic cruising, swimming, and time to relax at your own pace.

Cruise past the Miami skyline, Port of Miami, and the waterfront mansions of Star Island before heading toward Haulover Sandbar and Raccoon Island, where you can anchor, swim, and enjoy one of Miami’s most unique spots. Wildlife sightings are always a possibility and add to the experience.

This is a fully private charter, meaning only your group is on board. Your captain handles navigation and safety while also sharing local insights along the way. The boat includes a sound system, cooler with ice and water, floating mat, and onboard restroom for your comfort.

Perfect for those looking for a flexible, comfortable, and more personal way to experience Miami from the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Raccoon Island Private Boat Charter Experience from Miami?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
