Geprüft Oktober 2026

Miami Aqua Tours is for families who want the Star Island cruise with a pirate-ship twist, and couples after a night skyline cruise; the trade-off is a crowded Bayside start and similar routes to every other boat there.

Why you go

The main sightseeing tour lasts 1 hour 20 minutes, running past Star Island, Palm Island and the Venetian Islands with the skyline behind you on the way back. The same route runs on El Loro, a pirate ship with hats for kids. Evening options include a 2-hour DJ party cruise and a 2-hour night skyline cruise with an open bar. It rates 4.8 from 3,470 Google reviews.

When to go

Hours are 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM Monday to Thursday, until 9:30 PM Friday and Sunday, and until 11:00 PM Saturday. There are six departures a day. Daytime sails are best for kids and photos of the homes; the sunset champagne cruise times the light; the DJ party cruise runs Friday and Saturday only. Winter evenings are the most comfortable.

Know before you go

All tours leave from Bayside Marketplace, 401 Biscayne Blvd, Downtown, about 5 miles from South Beach. The operator lists the sightseeing tour from $30, the pirate cruise and party cruise from $35, and the night open-bar and sunset champagne cruises from $45. The night skyline cruise is 21 and over. Booking takes a minute online, with instant confirmation.
