Know Before You Go
Your Guide to Key Biscayne
A tranquil island escape minutes from Miami
About the Area
Key Biscayne is a barrier island south of Miami Beach, connected by the Rickenbacker Causeway. It feels worlds apart from the mainland — lush parks, quiet beaches, and some of the clearest water in Miami-Dade County. This is where locals go to escape the city without leaving it.
On the Water
A nature-focused waterfront surrounded by state parks and marine preserves. Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park bookend the island. The water here is shallower and calmer than anywhere else in the metro area.
Exceptionally calm, shallow waters protected by the barrier island. Visibility is often the best in Miami-Dade, making this prime territory for snorkeling and swimming. Bear Cut between Key Biscayne and Virginia Key has gentle currents.
Stiltsville is 10 minutes by boat. Biscayne National Park is 15-20 minutes south. The sandbar near Nixon Beach is 5 minutes. Downtown Miami skyline is visible from the bay.
Getting There
Key Biscayne is reached via the Rickenbacker Causeway from Brickell ($2.25 toll). Parking is available at marinas and parks. Rideshare from downtown Miami takes 15-20 minutes.

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.

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.
