Sunset Yacht Cruise in Miami
Two of the best hours in Miami, on your own yacht.
Golden hour on Biscayne Bay, or an afternoon at anchor with the water around you. Every yacht is private and crewed, and the day is planned around you.
- Private and crewed
- Star Island and the skyline
- Haulover and Nixon sandbars
- Drinks and music ready
- Villa pickup by dock
Golden hour
The sunset cruise
Past Star Island, Fisher Island and the downtown skyline as the light turns gold. Back in time for dinner.
At anchor
The sandbar day
Haulover for clear water near Bal Harbour, Nixon off Key Biscayne. Swim, float and lunch on deck.
Planning the perfect sunset cruise
Sunset in Miami changes through the year, from around 5:30 PM in December to after 8 PM in June, so we time the departure to your date. A good sunset cruise leaves about ninety minutes before sunset, heads past Star Island and Fisher Island, and turns back toward the skyline as the light goes gold. Champagne is on ice, music is set and dinner is booked for when you return.
- Leave about ninety minutes before sunset.
- Cruise past Star Island, Fisher Island and the Venetian Islands.
- Pause off the skyline for photos as the city lights come on.
- Return in time for dinner, with a car waiting at the marina.
A day at the sandbar
The Haulover sandbar, near Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles Beach, is known for clear, shallow water and a lively weekend atmosphere. Nixon sandbar, off Key Biscayne, is usually calmer and more family friendly. Weekdays are quieter at both. We pick the sandbar by your departure point, the tide and the wind, and the crew sets up floats, the swim platform and lunch on deck.
Bring sunscreen, a hat and a change of clothes. Everything else, from towels to drinks, can be on board.
Choosing the right yacht
For a sunset, a yacht with a flybridge gives the best views. For a sandbar day, look for water toys and a swim platform. Private yachts host up to 12 guests, and we suggest the right size for your group. Send your date and group size, and we reply within 15 minutes. Rates are on request.
