Miami Yacht Party: 4-Hour Biscayne Bay Champagne Cruise with Captain
Spend four hours on a private yacht through Biscayne Bay—champagne on ice, snorkeling at a sandbar, and unobstructed views of Miami Beach and celebrity homes. This private, USCG-certified cruise blends sightseeing, swimming, and a party atmosphere for groups up to 13.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive 15 minutes early
Boarding begins at the scheduled time; arriving early avoids losing cruising minutes and helps with a smooth safety briefing.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The tour includes snorkeling—use reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life and prevent skin irritation on the water.
Pack a light wind layer
Open water gets breezy even on warm days; a light jacket keeps you comfortable during faster transits.
Expect an extra captain’s fee
A $50 per hour captain’s fee applies—confirm total charges and tipping preferences before departure.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Sandbar near the northern side of Key Biscayne for shallow swimming
- •The quieter residential views of the Venetian Islands when the boat passes inward channels
Wildlife
- •Atlantic bottlenose dolphins
- •West Indian manatees (in calmer, protected areas)
Conservation Note
Seagrass beds in the bay support fisheries and manatees—use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid anchoring on seagrass to reduce habitat damage.
Biscayne Bay’s islands were long used by indigenous people and later by Cuban and Bahamian fishermen; Miami’s coastal development accelerated during the early 20th-century land boom.
