The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early for boarding

Boarding is time‑sensitive; arriving 15–20 minutes early ensures you don’t lose cruising time and lets the crew brief safety procedures.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen

Apply reef‑safe sunscreen before boarding to protect coral and reduce slippery residue on the boat’s deck.

Bring a waterproof pouch

A waterproof phone pouch or case protects devices during snorkeling, paddleboarding, and splashy celebrations.

Confirm guest count and fees

Standard pricing covers up to 25 guests; communicate final headcount and note the $75/hr crew fee to avoid surprises.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stiltsville — a cluster of vintage wooden structures in the bay visible from the boat
  • Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park — shallow sandbars and historic lighthouse views on longer cruises

Wildlife

  • Bottlenose dolphins
  • Brown pelicans and occasional manatees

Conservation Note

Reefs and seagrass beds are fragile; operators follow no‑anchor and no‑touch policies and recommend reef‑safe products to reduce impact.

Biscayne Bay has long been a maritime crossroads — indigenous canoes, Bahamian boatbuilders, and 20th‑century yachting culture shaped Miami’s waterfront life.
