Miami Beach Islands Yacht Tours

Miami Beach Islands Yacht Tours

Boat and Yacht Charters in Miami Beach Islands

Activities abound in Miami and the Beaches, both on land and oceanside, making your decision to book a half-day charter or a full-day charter a challenging one.  If you are on a short vacation in Miami and would like to experience the colors and flavors of this multi-cultural city, we recommend booking for a half-day which allows you up to 4 hours on a charter boat tour.

For special events like a birthday, anniversary, special celebration, bachelor party, or corporate event, we suggest taking a full day yacht tour for up to 8 hours. This allows you to fully enjoy the magical waterways, restaurants, homes, and shops offered in the sunny Miami Beaches.

Whether you wish visit South Beach, North Beach, Brickell, Key Biscayne, or Downtown Miami, it’s the endless fun & entertainment you can experience in South Florida that is important.

Everything is just a 5-10 minute drive anyhow. From our gastronomy which has been on the rise since 2015, to our infamous nightlife, to casual and high-end shopping, to boating – the latter being the absolute MUST-do for many tourists that visit Miami year after year.

The typical Miami day of boating leads to an evening hangout at the best restaurants on the water, and ending with a night out at the hottest nightclubs like Club Liv, Ora Miami, or Story.

The Miami Beaches are divided in 3 different sections:

  • South Beach which runs from 1st Street to 23rd Street;
  • Mid-Beach from 23rd Street to 63rd Street;
  • North Beach from 63rd Street to 87th Street.

Use this location guide when making hotel reservations and planning activities in Miami Beach.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP TO FT. LAUDERDALE

Half day Yacht Tour (up to 4 hours)

Hint: this is our most popular private tour!

For our 4-hour half-day yacht charter tour we recommend pick-up at the Miami Beach Marina or Sunset Harbor Yacht Club, depending on where your reserved boat is located. Both marinas are conveniently located in South Beach.

We begin your trip by cruising through the intracoastal of Biscayne Bay, passing by infamous Star Island where celebrities like Gloria Estefan and  pharmaceutical billionaire (VIAGRA) Phillip Frost live. Continuing by Hibiscus Island and Palm Island where you will enjoy more of the extraordinary architecture and impressive beauty of the waterfront mansions, while sipping champagne served by our stewardess.

Then turn the bow toward Government Cut and pass by a man-made island named Flagler Monument Island, where a 104-foot obelisk stands in memory of Henry Flagler. Here you have a choice to anchor, swim, or jet ski your way on the island and explore. Since the uninhabited Monument park is only accessible by boat, you will frequently have it all to yourself on weekdays.

Get back onboard our beautiful yacht and while you are drying up, our crew is setting up a fresh fruit & cheese plate and your favorite refreshments to continue the tour moving south toward exclusive Fisher Island and the Port of Miami area. You will pass by popular destinations in Downtown Miami and Brickell, like The Bayside MallAmerican Airlines Arena, and the Arsht Center for Performing Arts. Another highlight is the picture famous McArthur Causeway (I-395) bridge, which lights up purple at night (see pictures above of this amazing view taken by our yachting clients).

Now it’s time to slowly cruise back to the marina or you may decide to be dropped off at one of the popular waterfront restaurants with dockage accessibility, like Sea Spice Restaurant, River Yacht Club, Zuma, or Casa Blanca Restaurant, just to mention a few. Whatever you decide, our crew is there to make your experience on the water an unforgettable one. Learn more with The Advantaged!

SOUTH FLORIDA SEASONS

Here in South Florida, we are fortunate to have almost perfect weather all year round – making it possible to enjoy a boating, yachting, sailing or fishing trip at any given moment!

During the Summer, we have a short period of hot and humid weather, with temperatures from the mid-80s to low-90s (29–35° C) and occasional afternoon rain showers. This combination creates the perfect conditions for swimming, sunbathing, and ice-cold mojitos.

Winter temperatures average 69.2° F (20.7° C) during the day and 50° F (10° C) at night, making it the preferred time of the year for tourists from up north to escape the cold and soak up the sun while enjoying the cool, dry air. It’s truly the most wonderful time of the year.
