About this tour

See Miami from the water on a private yacht cruise through Biscayne Bay, where waterfront mansions and open bay views set the scene. This Miami Private Yacht Experience takes you along the Miami Beach area to admire famous homes from the water, then anchors near the sandbar around the Rusty Pelican for a swim.

Relax aboard a 42-foot yacht with a restroom, Bluetooth sound system, floating pad, water, ice, and a cooler. The cruise returns to Bayshore Landing Marina in Coconut Grove. Arrive 15 minutes before departure and look for the captain at the dock, wearing a Miami Golden Yachts shirt. The captain fee and docking fee are paid separately, and larger groups incur an additional per-person, per-hour charge.

Whether you want time to swim or a laid-back look at Miami’s waterfront, this Miami Private Yacht Experience offers a memorable way to enjoy the bay. Book your cruise and take in the city from a fresh perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 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 7.4. Top 26% in Miami means it ranks in the top 26% of tours in Miami by this score.
