Cruise Biscayne Bay on a 3-hour Miami catamaran trip with jet skis, a banana boat ride, floating mats, and skyline views.
About this tour
Trade the usual Miami sightseeing cruise for a day on the water with room to play. This 3-hour Miami Catamaran Excursion takes you across Biscayne Bay, where skyline views set the scene for a lively mix of watersports and downtime.
Once you reach the activity area, hop on a self-drive jet ski equipped with Bluetooth speakers, then join the fun on a banana boat ride. Floating mats offer a chance to slow down between activities, while music and an experienced crew keep the catamaran welcoming and relaxed. Beer, wine, and nonalcoholic drinks are included, with alcoholic beverages served after the water sports.
The Miami Catamaran Excursion meets at Pier 1, at the marina behind the DoubleTree Grand Hotel. Bring your own towel, sunscreen, and swimwear, and check the jet ski license and age requirements before you go. Set out for Biscayne Bay views, a splash of adventure, and time to unwind on the water.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.50 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Miami
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
