Meet the Fleet
Fast, Bright, Built for Biscayne
USCG-inspected vessels purpose-built for the bay — twin-engine, shaded lower deck, open-air upper deck, and the kind of stability that lets you sip your drink without wearing it.
Bar onboard, restrooms, ADA-accessible boarding, and a captain who actually knows the bay. Departures from the Bayside Marketplace dock and the South Beach Marina at 300 Alton Rd.
The Route
What You'll See on the Bay
Bayside Marketplace
Our downtown dock is inside the Bayside Marketplace marina, right next to the Hard Rock Cafe. Walk-up boarding, public parking and ride-share both work.
South Beach Marina
The South Beach end is the marina at 300 Alton Rd — five minutes to Lincoln Road, twelve to the sand. Best for skipping the causeway on the way to the beach.
Star, Hibiscus & Palm Islands
The trio of millionaire islands sit smack in the middle of Biscayne Bay. We drift past front lawns belonging to celebrities you'd recognize and a few you wouldn't.
The Miami River
The bay's gritty, working backbone — shipyards, hidden marinas, mob lore and a haunting or two. Threaded into our skyline sightseeing cruise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you pick up and drop off?
Bayside Marketplace (downtown — inside the marina near Hard Rock Cafe) and the South Beach Marina at 300 Alton Rd. Look for the bright Water Taxi Miami sign at each dock.
Do I need to book in advance?
We strongly recommend it, especially on weekends and holidays. Walk-ups are welcome when seats are available, but reserved tickets get priority boarding.
How long does the bay crossing take?
About 30 minutes door to dock — and you'll spend it on the open-air upper deck instead of stuck in MacArthur Causeway traffic.
Can I bring food, drinks, or a stroller?
Outside food and drinks are not permitted, but every cruise has a bar onboard. Strollers and wheelchairs board free — the lower deck is fully accessible.
What if the weather turns bad?
We sail rain or shine, but in severe weather (high winds, lightning) we'll reschedule your booking at no charge or refund you in full.

Absolutely — birthdays, bachelorettes, corporate, you name it. Capacity ranges from 25 to 90 guests. Call (305) 600-2511 for a custom quote.
