The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive 15 minutes early

Boarding is prompt; late arrivals will lose time on the 4-hour reservation and can disrupt safety briefings.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Protect coral and your skin; chemical sunscreens can harm marine life and are discouraged in Biscayne Bay.

Use non-marking water shoes

They protect feet and the deck, and make transitions to paddle boards or the floating mat easier.

Hydrate and pace alcohol

Breezes and sun mask dehydration; alternate drinks with bottled water provided on board.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Cruise the shallow sandbars near Haulover for a natural floating beach experience
  • Slow past Stiltsville for unique photo ops and a glimpse of local maritime history

Wildlife

  • Bottlenose dolphins
  • West Indian manatees

Conservation Note

Avoid anchoring on seagrass and use reef-safe sunscreen; operators encourage responsible wildlife distances to protect sensitive marine habitat.

Biscayne Bay has long been a cultural crossroads from indigenous Tequesta habitation to 20th-century boating communities; Stiltsville reflects the bay's playful weekend-house history.
