Miami Private Boat Cruise with a Captain
Miami
$$$
This is a genuinely private charter — just your group and a captain, with a choice of two boats (a 32-foot Chaparral or Monterey; specify a preference when booking or one will be assigned) and three duration options that change the shape of the trip rather than just its length. The 2-hour option is a straightforward sightseeing run past Miami River, the Bayside Marketplace Ferris wheel, Port of Miami, Star Island, Millionaire's Row, and Fisher Island. The 3-hour option adds time in the water with a premium Bluetooth sound system and a floating mat for swimming. The 4-hour option is built for longer celebrations — birthdays, bachelorette parties — with time to anchor near other boats at a sandbar.
A $150 captain-and-fuel surcharge (for groups up to 10) is paid separately at the dock, on top of the online booking price — factor that in before comparing prices to other Miami charters. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks.
