Cruisin' Tikis Miami

A six-seat floating tiki bar that cruises the Miami River and Biscayne Bay from Bayfront Park, BYOB.

Checado em outubro de 2026

For small groups who want a slow, BYOB float past the skyline with their own playlist. It's six seats max and you do all the pouring, so sort out the cooler and the headcount before you book.

Picking a cruise

The Miami River Cruise and the Celebrity Homes Cruise both start at $65, running an hour and a half and an hour 45 minutes. The City Skyline Cruise starts at $70 and leans on under-bar lights and a Bluetooth speaker for the night views. The two-hour Sunset Cruise starts at $84.99. The private-only options cost more. The Sunrise Mimosa Cruise on Biscayne Bay starts at $350, and the three-hour Sandbar Cruise starts at $700, with floaties and a stop to get your feet wet. Public trips sell individual seats, so you may share with strangers. The boats cruise at 4 to 6 mph, which makes it a float, not a ride.

The cooler is yours

Every cruise is BYOB. The crew provides an ice-filled Yeti cooler, cups and bottled water. There's no food or alcohol for sale on board, and the captain isn't your bartender, so you pour your own. Forgot snacks? Bayside Marketplace sits right by the dock, so grab something there before you board. Everyone drinking gets carded, so bring a valid ID even if you're obviously over 21. Smoking and vaping aren't allowed under Coast Guard rules. Cue up your own playlist on the Bluetooth system, and expect people on the seawall to take your picture. A floating tiki hut draws looks.

Six seats, no exceptions

Coast Guard rules cap each tiki at six passengers plus crew, and kids count as passengers regardless of age. Bigger groups rent extra boats and cruise together, which is how bachelor and bachelorette parties handle it. Children are welcome. Kids 6 and under must wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket, and the company asks you to flag kids under 7 when booking. If you're bringing small children, book a private charter so a fussy toddler doesn't sink a stranger's sunset. Cancel at least 48 hours out or you get a gift certificate instead of a refund. No-shows get nothing. The boats have a roof and run in light rain, but captains cancel for wind or storms.

Como chegar

1. Be at the Bayfront Park dock behind the SkyWheel at least 15 minutes before departure so the captain can stash your drinks.

Estacionamento

There's no parking at the dock. Use the Bayside Marketplace garage and allow a few extra minutes to walk over, or take a rideshare.

Bom saber

Everyone in your group has to sign the pre-tour waiver before boarding.
