Why Choose a Booze Cruise in Aventura?
Bring your own drinks, bring your crew, and let the captain handle the rest. A booze cruise in Miami is the ultimate way to enjoy cold drinks on warm water with zero responsibility. In Aventura, you'll experience the calm Intracoastal Waterway and nearby Haulover Inlet, with quick access to the Haulover Sandbar, Miami's most popular weekend boat party destination.
Launch from marinas in the Aventura area, positioned perfectly between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The Haulover Sandbar — South Florida's most iconic boating destination — is just minutes away.
Most booze cruises book 4-6 hours — long enough to cruise to a sandbar, anchor, swim, and enjoy the full day without rushing. Bring a cooler full of your favorite drinks and plenty of ice. Nearby highlights include Haulover Sandbar, Oleta River State Park, Aventura Mall (waterfront), and more.

Know Before You Go
Your Guide to Aventura
Gateway to the Haulover Sandbar
About the Area
Aventura is a planned community in northeast Miami-Dade, known for the Aventura Mall — the largest mall in Florida — and its prime location between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. For boaters, Aventura's main draw is its proximity to the Haulover Sandbar, South Florida's most iconic boat party destination.
On the Water
The waterfront here is quieter and more residential than central Miami. The Intracoastal Waterway runs through the area, connecting to Dumfoundling Bay and the Haulover Inlet. It is a departure point favored by locals who know the shortcuts to the sandbar.
The Intracoastal is wide, calm, and easy to navigate. Haulover Inlet connects to the ocean and can have stronger currents during tidal changes. Inside the bay, conditions are consistently smooth.
Haulover Sandbar is just 5-10 minutes by boat — the closest departure point of any location. Bal Harbour is 10 minutes south. Oleta River State Park borders the area.
Getting There
Aventura is off I-95 between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Parking is available at local marinas. Rideshare from central Miami takes 25-30 minutes. From Fort Lauderdale, it is about 20 minutes.

Insider Tips
- If the Haulover Sandbar is your primary destination, Aventura is the smart departure choice — you'll spend your time at the sandbar instead of cruising to get there.
- Weekend sandbar crowds peak between 12-3 PM. Departing from Aventura at 10 AM gives you time to anchor in a prime spot before the rush.
- The Haulover Inlet can be rough during outgoing tides — your captain will time ocean access for safety.
Sport boats (26-37 feet) are the most popular choice from Aventura — fast, fun, and perfect for sandbar parties. Mid-size yachts work well for groups wanting more space.

What is the best time of year for a boat charter in Aventura?
Year-round. Summer weekends see the biggest sandbar crowds. For a quieter experience, go on a weekday or during winter.
What is included in a booze cruise?
Captain, fuel, and crew are included. We do not provide alcohol — guests bring their own. Coolers and ice chests are available on most vessels. All guests consuming alcohol must be 21 or older per Florida law. BYOB is our policy — bring whatever beverages you want (all guests consuming alcohol must be 21+). Your captain takes you to the best spots for swimming and socializing, often the Haulover Sandbar where food boats come to you. Bluetooth speakers, coolers, and a great attitude are standard on every vessel. The captain can limit alcohol service if safety becomes a concern.
How long should I book a booze cruise for?
Most booze cruises book 4-6 hours — long enough to cruise to a sandbar, anchor, swim, and enjoy the full day without rushing. Bring a cooler full of your favorite drinks and plenty of ice.
Is alcohol provided on the booze cruise?
No — we are BYOB (Bring Your Own Beverages). We do not sell or provide alcohol. Guests bring their own drinks, and coolers are available on most vessels. This keeps your costs down and lets you enjoy exactly what you want. All guests consuming alcohol must be 21 years of age or older per Florida law.
Can the captain stop us from drinking?
Yes. The captain has final authority on all safety matters aboard the vessel. If intoxication-related behavior poses a safety risk, the captain may limit alcohol consumption or terminate the charter early and return to the marina. No refund is issued in this case. Safety is always the top priority.
What should I bring on a booze cruise?
Bring a cooler with your favorite drinks and plenty of ice, snacks or food (or arrange catering through us), sunscreen, towels, and a swimsuit. A waterproof phone case is a great idea. Glass containers are prohibited on sport boats (26'-37') for safety — use cans or plastic bottles instead.
