Overview

This isn’t your average crowded group tour — this is your boat, your day, your way.

Enjoy a completely private charter with just your group aboard a sleek, spacious vessel equipped with a premium sound system, comfortable lounge seating, and plenty of shade. You’ll cruise through Biscayne Bay to three of Miami’s best-kept secrets: Indian Creek, known as Billionaire's Bunker, the wildlife-rich Raccoon Island and the famous Haulover Sandbar, known for its clear shallow waters and fun social vibe.

Bring your own drinks and snacks — there’s a cooler onboard with ice and bottled water waiting for you. Whether you want to swim, unwind, party, or spot wildlife, this private charter gives you the freedom to create the perfect day on the water. No crowds. No rush. Just you, the captain you choose, and the best of Miami by boat.
