Private sunset cruise Miami. Golden hour on Biscayne Bay, Star Island celebrity homes, and the Miami skyline. The best sunset boat tour Miami has to offer. Captain, crew, and fuel included.
SUNSET CRUISE MIAMI
A private sunset cruise in Miami is one of the most requested experiences on the water. As the sun sets, the Miami skyline turns gold, the mansions on Star Island catch the last light of the day, and the waters of Biscayne Bay become one of the most breathtaking scenes in South Florida. Your private charter departs 60 to 90 minutes before sunset so your group is positioned on the water when golden hour begins. The captain acts as your personal tour guide throughout, pointing out celebrity homes, the Brickell skyline, and the full circuit of Biscayne Bay as you cruise.
Crown Yachts Miami sunset cruises include a licensed captain, crew, fuel, ice, and water. We check the exact sunset time for your date and plan every departure around it. We also arrange champagne packages, a mojito bar on board, catering, yacht decorations, a private DJ, and a photographer if you want to turn the sunset boat tour into a full evening event. Planning a romantic dinner cruise or a yacht proposal? We handle those too - and most proposals in Miami happen at golden hour for good reason.
Departures available from South Beach, Brickell, and 14 other marinas across Miami and Miami Beach. For groups who want to explore Miami by water before the sun sets, a 4 to 5 hour Miami sightseeing cruise combining the bay tour and the sunset is our most popular full-afternoon option. Staying up in Broward? Book a Fort Lauderdale sunset cruise instead. Want dinner served on board as the sun goes down? Book a sunset dinner cruise in Miami with a private chef instead.
