Bayside operator with bilingual double-decker bay cruises, sunset sails and a Miami River night cruise.

Verificato ottobre 2026

Miami On The Water suits visitors who want a narrated bay cruise in English and Spanish with plenty of evening options; the trade-off is reservations only, no walk-ins, and big double-decker boats on a busy marina.

Why you go

The Miami Boat Tour is a 90-minute narrated cruise in English and Spanish on a double-decker boat, past the Downtown skyline, Star Island, Fisher Island and Miami Beach. There is also a 90-minute sunset cruise, a 1-hour night cruise, a 2-hour sunset cocktail cruise with unlimited drinks, and a 45-minute idle-speed Miami River night cruise through Brickell. It rates 4.7 from 1,725 Google reviews.

When to go

The listing shows it open 24 hours, which reflects booking rather than sailings, so pick a departure on their calendar. Day cruises are best for the homes; the sunset cruise is the one that sells out first. The Miami River night cruise is calm and slow, good for families and for pregnant travelers. Winter and spring evenings are the most pleasant time on the water.

Know before you go

Boats leave from Bayside Marketplace, 401 Biscayne Blvd in Downtown, about 5 miles from South Beach. Reservations are required and walk-ins are not taken. Their site lists the Miami Boat Tour from $32, the night cruise from $28, the sunset cruise from $35, the Miami River night cruise from $45, and the sunset cocktail cruise from $75. Bring sunscreen and a light layer for the evening breeze.
