Back to Miami2-Hour Miami Private Boat Tour: Skyline & Star Island
4.9 ★ · 4073 reviews · from USD52

See Miami from the water on a private two-hour boat tour reserved exclusively for your group. Cruise from the Miami River toward Biscayne Bay, passing Star Island, waterfront homes, and Miami Beach while enjoying beautiful skyline views. Because this is a relaxed sightseeing cruise rather than a high-speed speedboat ride, you can completely unwind and enjoy the scenery at your own pace with no other travelers onboard.
This experience is fully BYOB-friendly. Feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks to store in the provided cooler with ice, and connect your phone to the Bluetooth sound system to play your favorite playlist.
- Please note: The lead traveler must complete the required bareboat charter process to select a captain. The captain fee is paid separately and is currently $70 for the two-hour trip (holiday rates may vary).

- A large rotating cast of captains — Fausto, Giancarlo/Gian, Gustavo/Gus, Yuniel, Raul, Ray, Raynell, and Walter Fontiveros — are each praised by name, with Fausto appearing most often as knowledgeable and patient.
- Sunset and evening rides are frequently highlighted as the best time slot, with several reviewers timing their booking around the sunset.
- One 4-star review notes the boat runs slow due to neighborhood speed restrictions — a relaxing cruise rather than a speedboat thrill ride, which won't suit everyone.
- Bluetooth music and drinks onboard are mentioned as nice touches that added to the relaxed vibe.
- The overwhelming majority of the sample is five-star, with accommodations for injuries or mobility needs also noted positively.
