Miami Sunset Cruise | 2hr Private Bay Tour

Miami's Golden Hour: 2hr Sunset Cruise

Picture this: you're gliding across Biscayne Bay's calm waters as the Miami skyline turns to gold. That's what you're in for with our 2-hour sunset cruise. It's just you, your special someone, and the open water as day melts into night. No crowds, no rush – just pure Miami magic.

Cruise Lowdown

We'll set off from the marina about an hour before sunset, giving you plenty of time to settle in and soak up the views. Our skiff is clean, comfy, and perfect for cruising. You'll have a clear view from bow to stern, so don't forget your camera – the photo ops are insane. As we cruise, you'll see the city skyline start to light up. It's like watching Miami put on its evening dress. We've got a cooler stocked with ice and water, but feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks. It's your cruise, after all.

Sunset Vibes

This isn't your typical tourist trap cruise. It's just you, your guest, and your captain – who knows every nook and cranny of the bay. We'll cruise at a chill pace, giving you time to really take it all in. Maybe you'll spot some dolphins playing in our wake, or see pelicans diving for their dinner. As the sun dips lower, the sky puts on a show – pinks, oranges, and purples that'll make your jaw drop. Once it gets dark, the city lights start to twinkle, and it's a whole new kind of beautiful.

Miami from the Water

Seeing Miami from the bay gives you a whole new perspective. We'll cruise past Brickell's swanky high-rises, the colorful Art Deco buildings of South Beach, and maybe even catch a glimpse of Star Island's mega-mansions. Your captain knows all the best spots for photos, so you'll come away with some killer shots. And don't worry about the boat rocking – our inshore waters are usually pretty calm, making for a smooth ride.

What to Bring

We've got the boat and the views covered, but there are a few things you might want to bring. A light jacket or sweater is a good idea – it can get breezy on the water once the sun goes down. Sunglasses are a must for that golden hour glow. And if you want to make it extra special, pack some snacks and your favorite drinks. Maybe a little cheese and wine to go with that sunset? Just remember, whatever you bring, take it with you when we dock. We're all about keeping our bay beautiful.

Why Locals Love It

Even for us Miami natives, this cruise never gets old. There's something about being out on the water that just melts the stress away. It's a chance to slow down and really appreciate where we live. Plus, it's way more relaxing than fighting traffic and crowds at a waterfront bar. Whether you're celebrating something special or just need to unwind, this cruise hits different.

Wildlife Watch

While this isn't a wildlife tour, you never know what you might see out on Biscayne Bay. Bottlenose dolphins are regulars here, and they love to play in boat wakes. Keep an eye out for manatees too – these gentle giants sometimes pop up to say hello. Bird watchers, bring your binoculars. You might spot brown pelicans, ospreys, or even roseate spoonbills if you're lucky. As the sun sets, watch for jumping mullet – these fish put on quite a show, leaping out of the water in unison.

Sunset Science

Ever wonder why Miami sunsets are so spectacular? It's all about location and weather. Our position on the east coast means the sun sets over the land, not the water. This might sound less ideal, but it actually creates some killer effects. The sun's rays hit the clouds from below, lighting them up in vibrant colors. And our humid climate? It acts like a prism, scattering light and intensifying those sunset hues. Trust us, it's a light show you won't want to miss.

Captain's Corner

Your captain isn't just there to steer the boat. They're a wealth of local knowledge and love sharing stories about the bay. Want to know the history behind that art deco building? Curious about the best local seafood spots? Just ask. They're also pros at finding the smoothest ride and the best angles for photos. Don't be shy – chat them up and get the inside scoop on Miami life.

Make It Special

Looking to pop the question or celebrate a big milestone? Let us know in advance, and we can help make it extra special. Maybe we anchor in a secluded spot for a champagne toast, or time the cruise so you're in the perfect position when the city lights come on. We've seen our fair share of proposals and anniversaries on board, and we're always stoked to be part of those moments.

Wrap It Up

Look, Miami's got no shortage of things to do, but this sunset cruise? It's something else. It's a chance to see the city from a whole new angle and make some serious memories. Whether you're a tourist looking for that perfect Miami experience or a local who needs a break from the grind, this cruise delivers. Just you, your favorite person, and one of the best views in town. So what are you waiting for? The sun's going down, and the bay's calling your name.
