PALMETTO EXPRESSWAY ACCESS

Pelican Harbor Marina in 25 to 30 Minutes via the Palmetto Expressway

Miami Lakes sits at the hub of the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) in northwest Miami-Dade, giving residents one of the shortest inland runs to the north Biscayne Bay charter corridor. The Palmetto connects to I-95 and the 79th Street Causeway, placing Pelican Harbor Marina within 25 to 30 minutes of most Miami Lakes addresses. From there, Haulover Sandbar, the Venetian Islands, and the Miami Beach Intracoastal are all within a short bay transit.

COMPLETELY PRIVATE

The Entire Vessel Reserved for Your Group

Every Crown Yachts Miami Miami Lakes charter is a fully private booking. No shared passengers, no group tour format, no other guests on board. Your group boards at Pelican Harbor Marina or another agreed marina, the yacht departs, and the vessel belongs entirely to you for the full charter duration. Captain, crew, and all on-board services are exclusive to your party.

NORTH BAY POSITION

Haulover Sandbar 20 Minutes North, the Venetian Islands 15 Minutes South

Pelican Harbor Marina on the 79th Street Causeway is the gateway to the north Biscayne Bay corridor. From this position, Haulover Sandbar is 20 to 25 minutes north, the Venetian Islands are under 15 minutes south, and the Miami Beach Intracoastal hotel corridor is 20 minutes east. Haulover Sandbar is closer from Pelican Harbor than from any marina in central or south Biscayne Bay, making a Miami Lakes departure one of the fastest routes to the most popular sandbar in Miami-Dade.

BESPOKE ITINERARY

Parking at the Bayside Marketplace garage.

On the Venetian Causeway that connects downtown Miami to Miami Beach, Venetian Marina is 30 to 35 minutes from Miami Lakes via the Palmetto Expressway east. Charters departing here route directly through the Venetian Island chain before reaching open Biscayne Bay north toward Haulover or south toward Star Island. The Venetian Island circuit is a unique first-hour route that begins immediately after leaving the dock.

The primary full-service marina at the southern tip of Miami Beach, at 300 Alton Road adjacent to the Art Deco district and South Pointe Park. For Miami Lakes groups whose itinerary focuses on Government Cut, Fisher Island, and the open Atlantic, Miami Beach Marina is 35 to 40 minutes via the Palmetto and the MacArthur Causeway. Departures reach Government Cut in under 10 minutes by water.

The largest marina in Miami, in the sheltered harbor of Coconut Grove, approximately 30 to 35 minutes from Miami Lakes via the Palmetto Expressway south to US-1.

These are the most requested destinations on every yacht rental miami lakes and boat rental miami lakes charter route.

Select a destination to see where it is

Haulover Sandbar

Most Popular

Haulover Sandbar is the most popular shallow-water charter destination in northern Miami-Dade, a calm white-sand anchorage between Haulover Park and the open Atlantic. From Pelican Harbor Marina it is 20 to 25 minutes north via the bay, and Bill Bird Marina at Haulover sits directly adjacent to it. For Miami Lakes charters departing Pelican Harbor, Haulover Sandbar is the closest major sandbar destination in all of Miami-Dade. Weekend anchoring brings dozens of vessels together in the channel with the Bal Harbour waterfront directly north. View Haulover Sandbar tour details.

The Venetian Islands chain, Di Lido, San Marino, San Marco, and Belle Isle, connects Miami to Miami Beach through a corridor of private residential estates. From Pelican Harbor Marina the Venetian passage is under 15 minutes south, and it leads directly into the Miami Beach Intracoastal waterway where the Collins Avenue and Fontainebleau hotel waterfront is visible from the water. The Venetian Islands and Millionaires' Row corridor is the most efficient access to Miami Beach's hotel-facing waterfront of any marina in Miami-Dade.

Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island form the celebrity island chain in central Biscayne Bay, home to some of Miami's most valuable private estates. From Pelican Harbor Marina the islands are 25 to 30 minutes south past the Venetian Islands, and from Island Gardens on Watson Island they are under 15 minutes. The route through the residential channels of the island chain is the most photographed bay itinerary in all of Miami charter. View Star Island yacht tour details.

The downtown Miami and Brickell skyline, viewed from central Biscayne Bay, is accessible from Pelican Harbor Marina on a southbound bay run of 25 to 35 minutes past the Venetian Islands and Star Island. The approach from the north bay gives a wide-angle view of the full downtown tower cluster rising above the mangrove-lined shoreline. Evening Miami Lakes charters anchored opposite the Brickell skyline at golden hour produce the most dramatic city-and-water photographs of any north bay route. View Miami skyline cruise details.

Haulover Inlet at the northern end of Bal Harbour provides direct Atlantic Ocean access north of Miami Beach, 20 to 25 minutes from Pelican Harbor Marina. Once through the Inlet, charters enter open ocean with the Sunny Isles Beach high-rise corridor on the western horizon. Atlantic access via Haulover Inlet is significantly closer from north bay marinas than from any central or south bay departure, opening open-water cruising, offshore reef stops, and deep-sea fishing to Miami Lakes charters. View Haulover charter details.

Nixon Sandbar at Key Biscayne and the adjacent Crandon Beach are the premier south bay anchorage, 45 to 55 minutes south of Pelican Harbor Marina via a full bay transit. Full-day Miami Lakes charters combining a morning Haulover Sandbar stop and a midday southbound run to Key Biscayne cover the complete north-to-south Miami-Dade itinerary. Groups prioritizing Nixon Sandbar can shorten the transit by choosing Island Gardens or Dinner Key as the departure marina. View Nixon Sandbar tour details.

For Miami Lakes groups whose itinerary extends beyond a single day on the water, multi-day Bahamas crossings are available on select Crown Yachts Miami vessels. From Pelican Harbor or Bill Bird Marina the route passes through Haulover Inlet to the Atlantic and crosses the Gulf Stream approximately 50 nautical miles to Bimini or Nassau, with full professional crew throughout. The Palmetto Expressway run north to Haulover makes reaching the departure marina for an early morning ocean crossing straightforward from Miami Lakes. View Miami to Bahamas charter details.

We rented the 66ft Azimut during our trip to Miami and it was honestly one of the best days of our vacation. Everything was smooth from the start. We ordered food and drinks ahead of time, and when we arrived, everything was already set up on the yacht and super fresh. The drinks were already chilled in the ice box, which was perfect. We had an amazing time out on the water, everything was exactly how we hoped it would be. Definitely recommend Crown Yachts Miami if you're trying to have a fun day out with friends. Would 100% book again!
