Activity itinerary

Itinerary Arrive at the Miami River departure point approximately 20 minutes before your scheduled time for check-in. The lead traveler will complete the required bareboat charter agreement and select a captain as per the booking instructions. Board your private boat for a two-hour sightseeing cruise along the Miami River towards Biscayne Bay and the nearby islands. Admire the Miami skyline, Star Island, waterfront homes, and the Miami Beach areas from the water. The exact route may vary based on weather, marine traffic, and safety conditions. During the cruise, play your own music via the Bluetooth sound system and keep your drinks and snacks chilled in the provided cooler with ice. This is a relaxed sightseeing experience, not a high-speed boat ride. Return to the original departure point at the conclusion of the two-hour cruise.
