Miami Boat Tours Aboard a Vintage Yacht
See Miami the way it was meant to be seen — from the water. Our 90-minute Miami boat tour departs from Miami Beach Marina and cruises Biscayne Bay, PortMiami and the Miami River before returning past the waterfront mansions of Star Island, Palm Island, Hibiscus Island and the Venetian Islands — the stretch locals call Millionaires Row.
The Boat Ride Through Miami's History
Climb aboard Mizner's Dream, a vintage sightseeing yacht built in 1980 for the Boca Raton Hotel as a passenger ferry and designed to look like a 1920s ferry from Miami's Roaring Twenties. Now operating out of Miami Beach Marina, she is the perfect platform to carry you back through the rapid rise of Miami, Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay. Your crew narrates the whole ride — the stories and characters who built Miami, what's happening on the waterfront today, and what's coming next for our world-class city.
What you'll see: the Downtown Miami skyline from Biscayne Bay, cruise ships at PortMiami, the working Miami River (we are the only tour boat that travels up the Miami River), Fisher Island, and the celebrity homes of Star Island, Palm Island, Hibiscus Island and the Venetian Islands — Millionaires Row.
Good to know: 90 minutes, departing Miami Beach Marina (300 Alton Rd, Dock A). Air-conditioned cabin and restroom on board. All ages welcome, limited to 25 guests per departure. Beer, wine, soda and water available for purchase.
