Dinner Cruise in Miami Beach
Why Choose a Dinner Cruise in Miami Beach?
Dine on the water as the sun sets over the Miami skyline. A private dinner cruise combines gourmet catering, stunning bay views, and the gentle motion of the water for an unforgettable evening. In Miami Beach, you'll experience the sparkling waters off Miami Beach where the Atlantic meets Biscayne Bay, with South Beach's iconic Art Deco skyline and turquoise waters all around you.
Set sail from the Miami Beach Marina area, steps from the famous Ocean Drive. Cruise past the Art Deco Historic District, Fisher Island, and Government Cut before reaching the open Atlantic or heading north to the sandbars.
Most dinner cruises run 3-4 hours — enough time for cocktails, a multi-course meal, and dessert under the stars. Sunset departures are the most popular, typically leaving 90 minutes before sundown. Nearby highlights include South Beach, Ocean Drive, Fisher Island, and more.

Know Before You Go
Your Guide to Miami Beach
Where glamour meets the Atlantic Ocean
About the Area
Miami Beach is a barrier island separating Biscayne Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Its Art Deco Historic District, world-famous nightlife, and pristine beaches make it one of the most recognizable waterfronts in the world. Departing from Miami Beach means stepping from the beach scene directly onto the water.
On the Water
The marina sits between the glamour of South Beach and the calm of Biscayne Bay. Cruise ships pass through Government Cut while restaurants, hotels, and nightclubs line the shore. The energy is always high.
The bay side is calm and protected. The ocean side has light swells that add to the cruising experience. Government Cut provides a dramatic passage to the open Atlantic, flanked by jetties and the port.
Fisher Island is 5 minutes from the marina. Star Island is 10 minutes. The ocean via Government Cut is 10 minutes. Haulover Sandbar is 20 minutes north along the beach.
Getting There
Miami Beach is connected to the mainland via several causeways (MacArthur, Julia Tuttle, 79th Street). Parking at marinas varies ($15-$30). Rideshare from downtown Miami takes 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.

Insider Tips
- Government Cut is busiest with cruise ships on Saturdays and Sundays — the spectacle of a massive ship passing overhead is worth timing your charter around.
- The bay between Miami Beach and Star Island is one of the calmest stretches in the area — perfect for wine and cheese at anchor.
- Miami Beach marinas fill up fast during Art Basel (December) and the Miami Open (March) — book well in advance during these events.
Motor yachts (50-70 feet) and super yachts deliver the full South Beach luxury experience. Sport boats are great for active groups heading to sandbars or snorkeling.
