Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventures

A fast 45-minute speedboat run from Bayside past Star Island and out into the ocean off South Beach.

Revisado octubre de 2026

Thriller is for groups and older kids who want speed and spray with their sightseeing; the trade-off is a loud, bumpy ride that is short on calm viewing time and not for anyone who gets seasick.

Why you go

The speedboat tour lasts 45 minutes, slowing for Star Island and Fisher Island homes, then heading out into the Atlantic for a view of the Art Deco district from offshore. The operator says it is the only Miami tour boat that goes offshore. A newer 45-minute Miami River tour runs at night past Brickell at slower speed. It rates 4.6 from 3,832 Google reviews.

When to go

The listing shows 9:00 AM to 8:15 PM daily. The operator offers $10 off the 10:00 AM and 10:30 AM speedboat tours, and morning seas are often calmer. Choose a later slot for the light on the skyline, or the river tour for city lights. Expect wind and spray year round, and check the forecast on windy winter days when the ocean can be rough.

Know before you go

Boats leave from Bayside Marketplace, 401 Biscayne Blvd, Downtown, about 5 miles from South Beach. Their site lists the speedboat tour from $40 and the Miami River tour from $35, both for ages 3 and up. Book online. Bring sunglasses, tie back loose hats, and leave anything you do not want splashed in a bag. Reviewers suggest sitting on the right side to see the mansions.
