Experience Miami’s unique waterfront atmosphere on a private boat tour to Nixon Sandbar, designed exclusively for your group. Departing from a marina near Key Biscayne, this charter combines personalized leisure with stunning scenery, perfect for those seeking a relaxed beach day or a special outing with friends. Enjoy the freedom to bring your own drinks and play your favorite music as you cruise the calm waters of Biscayne Bay.

Your journey begins with a warm welcome at the marina, where a coordinator will greet you at Montys Restaurant and introduce you to your captain. Settle in with complimentary water and ice in the cooler before the boat glides away from the dock. As you leave the marina, take in the Miami skyline and the sparkling expanse of the bay, setting the tone for an unforgettable escape.

Cruising past Key Biscayne, your captain will point out impressive waterfront mansions that line the shores, offering a glimpse at Miami’s luxury lifestyle. The route leads directly to Nixon Sandbar, a celebrated local gathering spot nestled in Biscayne Bay. Here, the boat anchors so you can step into shallow, crystal-clear water, swim, wade, or simply relax on deck while soaking up the sun. The sandbar’s lively yet laid-back vibe is a favorite among locals.

After your time at Nixon Sandbar, you’ll reboard the boat and enjoy a leisurely ride back toward the marina. This gentle return leg lets you savor the views one last time, with the Miami skyline and Key Biscayne as your backdrop. The tour concludes at the original departure point, leaving you refreshed and recharged.

Your booking covers the private boat charter for your group, with a professional captain at the helm, all fuel and taxes, plus a cooler stocked with ice and bottled water. You are welcome to bring your own beverages and music to make the experience your own. Gratuities are not included.

Set in the beautiful waters of Biscayne Bay, the tour offers panoramic views of Miami’s cityscape, the exclusive homes of Key Biscayne, and the vibrant scene at Nixon Sandbar. The shallow sandbar, popular with locals and visitors alike, is known for its inviting waters and social beach atmosphere.
