Miami Beach 50ft Luxury Yacht Charter — Champagne Cruise, Dolphins & Sandbar Party

Spend two hours aboard a 50-foot yacht exploring Biscayne Bay — celebrity homes, dolphin sightings, snorkeling, and a sandbar party with champagne. This private, captain-led cruise balances sightseeing with sun-and-swim time for an easy, high-style Miami experience.

The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early

Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure to check in, sign the waiver, and load gear onto the boat.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

The bay has sensitive seagrass and coral—use reef-safe SPF to protect marine life while keeping your skin safe.

Expect landing fees

Landing or docking fees are not included—budget roughly $100 for a 2-hour cruise; confirm exact amount when booking.

Secure loose items

Use a waterproof case for phones and secure hats and decorations; wind off the bow can take things overboard fast.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stiltsville—abandoned shacks on pilings visible from the bay and rich in local lore
  • Sunset views from the sandbar near Haulover — less crowded late afternoons

Wildlife

  • Bottlenose dolphins
  • Sea turtles

Conservation Note

Avoid anchoring on seagrass beds, use reef-safe sunscreen, and pack out all trash; operators follow local rules to protect endangered marine habitats.

Biscayne Bay’s edges were reshaped during the 20th century through dredging and development that created Miami Beach; Stiltsville and the Art Deco District are remnants of earlier eras.
