Cruise Miami’s waterways on a private boat, with options for sightseeing, sunset, island stops, or a laid-back sandbar visit.
About this tour
See Miami from the water on a private boat charter shaped around your group. Choose a sightseeing cruise, sunset outing, island stop, half-day trip, or time at a sandbar, then settle in as your captain guides you through the city’s waterways and shares local insights.
Your group has the boat to itself, so you can enjoy the views at your own pace without sharing the experience with strangers. A USCG-licensed captain is available for selection, and onboard comforts include a restroom, towels, a cooler with ice and bottled water, a floating water mat, and a premium sound system. Bring your own drinks and snacks, and play your own music as Miami’s waterfront unfolds around you.
Miami Private Boat Charter departures use a marina near Downtown Miami. Your exact meeting point arrives by email or text the day before your trip once your captain is confirmed. Captain and fuel surcharges apply. Pick the outing that suits your plans and enjoy Miami from a fresh perspective.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.99 from 2,167 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 9.7. Top 1% in Miami means it ranks in the top 1% of tours in Miami by this score.
