Cruise the Miami River and Biscayne Bay on a two-hour boat tour capped at six passengers, with skyline views, music, ice, and water.
About this tour
See Miami from the water on a relaxed, two-hour small-group cruise. This Miami Boat Tour is limited to six passengers, offering an intimate way to take in the city’s waterfront without the crowds of a larger sightseeing boat.
Your USCG-licensed captain navigates from the Miami River into Biscayne Bay, where you can admire the skyline and waterfront from the water. Settle in with music on board, and make use of the cooler with ice and water. Fuel and safety items are included, and a restroom is available at the marina. The Miami Boat Tour is a laid-back choice for travelers looking to pair city views with a small-group outing.
Every passenger, including infants, must have a paid fare, and the boat requires at least three passengers to operate. Arrive on time, then enjoy Miami’s river and bay scenery from a close-up perspective on this Miami Boat Tour.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 15 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 7.8. Top 15% in Miami means it ranks in the top 15% of tours in Miami by this score.
