Overview

Experience Miami the way it’s meant to be seen—on your own private boat, with the flexibility to make the day exactly what you want. With multiple options available, you can choose between sightseeing, island stops, half day trips, sandbar time, or a sunset cruise, all tailored to your group.

Cruise past the Miami skyline, Port of Miami, and the iconic mansions of Star Island and Millionaire Row.

This is a fully private experience—only your group is on board—so you can enjoy your time without crowds. Your captain handles everything and also acts as your guide, sharing local insights along the way.

The boat includes a premium sound system, cooler with ice and water, floating mat, and an onboard restroom for your comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Miami Boat Charter: Sightseeing, Sunset & Sandbar?

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

Top10Adventures® wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Top10Adventures® over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
