Glide by the Venetian Islands, where you’ll spot luxurious homes, lush parks, and beautiful vistas of Biscayne Bay and the city beyond. Star Island comes next, known for its opulent residences and Millionaire’s Row, home to celebrities and business moguls. The boat also sails past Fisher Island, one of the most exclusive communities in the region, only reachable by private transport.

The final stretch of the cruise brings you along Miami Beach’s famed shoreline, with views of its iconic white sands and lively neighborhoods. You’ll see the vibrant energy of South Beach, the renowned Art Deco architecture, and bustling Ocean Drive, all from the comfort of the water. The cruise concludes back at Bayside Marketplace, where you can continue exploring or relax with a drink at one of the waterfront venues.
