Make your way to the easy-to-find Bayside Marketplace in Miami to begin your tour. Board a double-decker boat and get cozy in an indoor viewing area or open-air deck—both have great views. Once you set sail, crew members tell you about top Miami sights as you pass them, including standout picks from the Miami Skyline neighborhood, a number of nearby islands, and celebrity homes. This is a great way to get a sense of Miami history and culture from the waters that make it famous. Also, keep a lookout for wildlife, such as dolphins and manatees. If you want, you can purchase soft drinks, beer, or cocktails on board. Your cruise ends at the original starting point.

A MUST
Apr 2022 • Family
We went to Bayside Marketplace looking around for something good and fun to do with a couple friend that came from Panamá and we had an amazing surprise going into the sightseeing cruise, the attention is 5 stars and the animation couldn’t be better; our host was Alain and this gentlemen is a great showman, he describe every single mansion in detail, with great anecdotes and funny commentaries.

The view is AMAZING and of course you can have a beer while you see the sunset over the sky view of Miami. Believe me, this ride is a MUST.

Fun and worth it. Don't hesitate to be a tourist!
Dec 2022
Great time, saw lots of cool sites and homes, hostess was the mostess keeping everyone informed and engaged, having fun and playing some cool tunes. Leave plenty of time for parking and get there early so you can ensure a seat on the top deck (recommend the right side for best viewing). The ticket booth and loading area area are a bit hard to find - they need a bigger sign hanging from the top! They are adjacent to the Hard Rock Cafe.

Plan to spend a few hours in the area as it's loaded with restaurants, bars and shopping, with a very fun and up beat vibe.

Cruise was excellent
Feb 2023 • Couples
Had reservations for 1:30 but was pressured to go on Pirate Ship at 12:30.
Refused to go on Pirate ship but then ticket issuer said we could go on cruise of Biscayne Bay at 12:30 or 2:30. What happened to our 1:30 reservation?? So we hurried to 12:30 cruise and missed lunch. Not good.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
Apr 2023
So first off for the price to take our crew of 8 people on this boat tour I will say I extremely unhappy with everything. It’s cost well over 300$ with nothing being complemtary. Not even I non-alcoholic beverage each so ended up spending over 100$ extra on top of the 270$ to get drinks and a snack for each of us. Not to mention we scheduled the “cruise” earlier in the day approx 1:30pm for that evening at 7:30. Well we had our day mapped out and we had just arrived in the area and had dinner reservations because we wanted to eat before since it was a later cruise and Everyone would be hungry. So we park and I pull up the email confirmation to see on the maps and how far it would be from the resrurant only to see they changed the time of the boat tour by an whole hour earlier which means we did not get to go to dinner and we were rushing to get to its boarding location before we would have missed it. The reason they charged it was still unclear at that time other than they were not going to have another boat going out at the 7:30 time. It did say basically we can take the 6:30 or arrange another day and time. Well that doesn’t work because we had other paid plans for the following day and then were leaving the area after so either way it sucked because it down poured the entire boat ride including thunder and lighting which freaked me out greatly because I’m not a genius but I am sure it’s dangerous to be on the water during a lightning storm. Well just thought I would give our experience since I would def not recommend this to any one given the amount of money and the experience it self

Not what we paid for
Feb 2023 • Friends
We didn’t have a bad time - it just wasn’t what we paid for. The trip was basically a cute 90 minute boat party. We booked for 5:30 so it would still be light out and we would get like a cute little sunset tour. Our boat didn’t show up until 6 and didn’t leave until 6:40 - which meant it was too dark to actually see any of the things we were sightseeing (see picture of us leaving the harbor) - particularly the celebrity mansions. They did give us a free picture and “free drinks”, which turned out to be a buy 1 get 2 drinks, so 1 free drink per two people.

The “tour” was essentially just pointing out celebrity homes but there were no facts about Miami or the people whose homes they were or anything else you would expect on a city tour. There’s also a “raffle” where they raffle off a free trip that you only get after a $40 deposit, a trip to Sunny Isles, and a 2 hour presentation about time shares. And they sell you on that pretty hard during the last 20 minutes of the ride.

If you’re looking for a 90 minute boat ride with fun music and party lights, this is your trip. If you’re looking to learn anything about Miami or you’re on a schedule, I would not recommend.

Not the best sightseeing cruise we’ve been on.
We would have enjoyed the sightseeing cruise more if it had included more history of the area and less emphasis on the Millionaires’ Row. The music was almost annoyingly loud. The parking fees in the parking garage at The Bayside Marketplace was $30.00 for less than 3 hours.

Dear Customer, We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the details about the area that our guide provided, although, if you take the time to carefully read our description it is a Sightseeing tour of Millionare's homes. As for the parking, the comment/review, corresponds to Bayside Marketplace, as we have no ownership/management of the actual parking. Thank you for choosing us!

Pleasant and reasonably priced. Recommended for any visitor
A nice cruise and with a nice price. We enjoyed this afternoon cruise in Biscayne Bay. The seaport area is nice to visit and the cruise adds a nice touch and reasonably priced. If we ever return to Miami, this cruise will make our itinerary. Only downside is booking this cruise is clunky and awkward. Too many online steps and becomes frustrating to navigate and complete a purchase. I would simply go to the seaport for lunch and buy the tour at the site.

A hokey, commercialized tour.
Feb 2020
Surely there are better tours than this one. The tour was advertised for 11:30 but they said to arrive 15 minutes early, which we did. As we boarded the boat they handed everyone a pen and form to fill put to win a cruise. We declined. Next, they wanted pictures of every guest as they boarded and were quite insistent that we do it even tho we declined. We won. (They tried to sell the photographs back to each guest for $15 a pop at the end of the cruise.). The employees were dressed in pirate costumes and there was a plastic pirate skeleton prominently displayed. The narration was in english and Spanish but the host did not speak very clearly. The other annoyance was the loud dance music playing when he wasn't talking. We were on the boat for 25 minutes before we left at 11:55. We were encouraged a few times to down to the bar to get a drink during the tour. Bottled water was $3.

Needed to have mitigation options for the weather
Feb 2023
We had a good time and I understand that the weather is not something that the company can do anything about. But hey only had overhead coverage for half of the upper deck of the boat. At first the rain was light enough that if the seats are wiped down we could handle it, but there were no towels to wipe the seats down. The MC was nice enough to use the ONE towel that she had for all of the seats. She literally had to wring it out and tried to help wipe down for us, but that was a challenge. When it truly started to rain, there was no overhead coverage ( a net, nets have holes in them..lol), so we had no choice but to go below deck. There was plenty of room, and the concession stand was down there so that was a plus, even though we didn't buy anything. The entire experience was altered because we had to look at everything through the window. Our MC Lina was great and we were happy to tip her! We had a good time, but it could have been a lot better with a few simple tweaks. I don't know that I would go again, but for 30 bucks it was okay.
