What "private" means here
Every boat tour we run is private: the boat, the captain and the route are reserved for your group only, for the full length of the trip. We do not sell individual seats or combine separate bookings onto the same boat.
Starting price and durations
A private tour starts at $400 for a 2-hour trip on the 25 ft Nautic Star, with a 2-hour minimum. Longer trips and larger boats cost more per hour — see the boats below for exact rates. Most groups book 2 to 4 hours; the 74 ft Sunseeker has a 4-hour minimum starting from $3,000.
Capacity
Our boats carry 8 to 13 guests depending on the model. Prices are per boat, not per person, so a fuller boat is better value per guest.
What's included
A licensed captain and fuel are included in every private tour, along with water, ice and life jackets. There are no fuel surcharges.
Departure location
Every private tour departs from the same dock: 2400 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140. We confirm the exact slip when you book.
Where you can go
Depending on the tour you choose, a private trip can take in the waterfront celebrity homes of Star, Palm and Hibiscus Islands, Raccoon Island in Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline at sunset, or open water around Biscayne Bay. See all Miami boat tours for the full list.
