Miami Skyline Cruises

What You’ll See on This Bayside Miami Boat Tour

Our Miami skyline cruises of South Beach and Millionaire Homes take you on a narrated journey through some of the most recognized—and most exclusive—sections of Miami:

📍 Miami Beach Marina

We begin at the vibrant and easy-to-reach Miami Beach Marina, the gateway to the city’s aquatic playground. Your guide shares how this once low-lying barrier island evolved into one of the world’s most popular destinations.

🏝️ Flagler Monument Island

Get a front-row view of Monument Island, dedicated to Henry Flagler—the visionary behind Florida’s early development. Learn how his influence shaped Miami’s history and its boom into the modern era.

🏠 Star Island & Millionaire’s Row

Cruise through one of the most famous zip codes in the U.S.—where celebrities, athletes, and tech moguls live behind palm-lined gates and mega yachts. Our Miami skyline cruise takes you up close to this exclusive enclave with stories of its most iconic residents.

🌴 Fisher Island

This private island community is only accessible by boat—and has one of the highest per-capita incomes in the country. You’ll learn why Fisher Island real estate commands some of the highest prices in the world.

🌇 Downtown Miami & Brickell

As we head toward the city, take in sweeping skyline views that include the Brickell financial district, towering new residential high-rises, and the architectural icons shaping modern Miami.

🌊 Miami River

Unlike most boat cruise Miami Beach options, our tour uniquely navigates a portion of the historic Miami River—offering a behind-the-scenes look at how Miami’s waterfront industries evolved and how this river connects to the city’s deep past.

Why Choose Our Miami Skyline Cruise from Miami Beach

Step aboard a classic yacht at Miami Beach Marina and enjoy a scenic, small-group boat tour through the heart of Miami’s most iconic waterways. Designed for travelers who want more than a typical ride, this 90-minute experience combines skyline views, storytelling, and exclusivity.

What Makes This Cruise Stand Out:

• Small group setting — Limited to 27 guests for a relaxed, uncrowded experience

• Classic yacht comfort — A/C, shaded seating, and onboard restroom

• Narrated by local guides — Learn the stories behind what you see

• Unmatched views — Star Island, Millionaire’s Row, Fisher Island, Downtown & Port of Miami

• Exclusive route — Cruise up the historic Miami River, only possible on smaller boats

• Onboard beverage service — Beer, wine & soda available for purchase

• Convenient departure — From Miami Beach Marina, near South Pointe Park

This is Miami sightseeing done right—casual, immersive, and designed for those who want to truly experience the city from the water.
