Verificato ottobre 2026
Good for a first-timer who wants the skyline and Star Island from the water without planning much. The trade-off: these are big double-decker sightseeing boats, and you can't just turn up, since everything is booked online.
Picking a boat
The Miami Boat Tour is the one the site flags as most popular: 90 minutes, from $35, with a bar onboard. The Biscayne Bay and Star Island tours are the same length and price. They pass Port Miami, Fisher Island, Miami Beach and the celebrity homes people come to gawk at. If you'd rather go fast, the Thriller speedboat runs 45 minutes through the port from $45, ages 3 and up. The cheapest option is the one-hour Night Cruise from $30. It's non-guided with music, so treat it as a skyline ride, not a tour.
Drinks and age limits
Two cruises are built around the bar. The Party Cruise is 90 minutes from $55 with two drinks included, and it's strictly 21 and over. The Sunset Cocktail Cruise runs two hours from $75 with unlimited drinks, and it's listed for all ages, so expect families mixed in with the cocktail crowd. For a group of up to six, the private two-hour charter starts at $459. Split six ways, that beats buying separate party tickets, and nobody else picks the music. It's 4.6 from about 340 Google reviews, which is solid for a volume operator.
Off the water
The same company sells land trips, and some are worth a look. The Everglades Eco Adventure runs two hours from $47. Only 30 to 35 minutes of that is on the airboat, and a wildlife show fills out the rest. Private city tours start at $314 for three hours, with stops in Wynwood and Little Havana. Private night and South Beach tours run 2.5 hours from $305. Google calls the business Miami City Cruises, but the website and booking run under the name Wannado Tours. Expect that name on your confirmation.
