Cruise Biscayne Bay Past Miami's Millionaire Mansions
Sightseeing cruises trace Biscayne Bay past the downtown skyline and the celebrity mansions of Star Island.
🛥️ Out on the bay
Miami Aqua Tours runs sightseeing cruises on Biscayne Bay from the docks at Bayside Marketplace in downtown Miami. Boats head out along the bay's chain of man-made islands, where captains point out the waterfront mansions of Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island, many owned by musicians, athletes, and film stars. The downtown skyline, the Port of Miami cruise ships, and passing yachts fill the rest of the route.
Day cruises take in the calm water and the glass towers of Brickell, while evening trips add a DJ and the skyline lit up after dark. The fleet runs covered boats with open decks for photos. It departs a short walk from Bayfront Park and the downtown waterfront, an easy add-on to a day in the city center.
