Crown Yachts Miami operates a fleet of over 55 private yachts available for North Miami departures.
Private yacht charters from North Miami serve the full range of occasions: birthday celebrations at Haulover Sandbar, bachelorette parties from North Miami homes and hotels, sunset Intracoastal cruises toward the downtown Miami skyline, corporate entertainment for North Miami business guests, and private proposals on the bay or the Atlantic.

WHY NORTH MIAMI
Why Choose North Miami for Your Yacht Charter
North Miami's central mainland position gives access to Haulover Sandbar in the north and Biscayne Bay in the south through two separate causeway routes, with Oleta River State Park on the eastern boundary.
Location
Central Mainland Position Between Two Major Boating Corridors
North Miami is a mainland city in northeastern Miami-Dade County, positioned between the Haulover Sandbar corridor to the north and the central Biscayne Bay corridor to the south. The 79th Street Causeway and the 163rd Street corridor give North Miami residents direct east-west access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the barrier island marina network on both sides of the metro. Most North Miami addresses reach either Pelican Harbor Marina to the south or Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park to the north in 15 to 20 minutes, giving the city one of the broadest marina selection sets of any mainland neighborhood in Miami-Dade.
Oleta River
Oleta River State Park — Florida's Largest Urban Park on the Intracoastal
Oleta River State Park, on the eastern edge of North Miami along the Intracoastal Waterway, is the largest urban park in Florida at 1,043 acres. The park sits where the Oleta River meets the northern Intracoastal, with water access to the bay and a direct route north toward Haulover Sandbar and south toward Miami Beach. North Miami guests passing Oleta River State Park on a northbound charter see one of the most undisturbed stretches of mangrove shoreline remaining in Miami-Dade County, a striking contrast to the luxury tower corridor immediately to the north in Sunny Isles Beach.
Sandbar Access
Haulover Sandbar Reachable in Under 30 Minutes
Haulover Sandbar, the most popular boating anchorage in Miami-Dade County, is accessible from North Miami in two steps: a 15 to 20 minute drive east to Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park, then under 10 minutes by water to the sandbar anchorage. The total door-to-anchor time from most North Miami addresses is under 35 minutes, comparable to or faster than many Miami Beach neighborhoods south of 63rd Street. North Miami guests prioritizing the sandbar use the 163rd Street corridor or Sunny Isles Boulevard to reach Haulover Park.
Bay Access
Star Island and Central Bay Accessible via the 79th Street Causeway
The 79th Street Causeway from North Miami connects to the Miami Beach side and to Pelican Harbor Marina near the 79th Street bridge. From Pelican Harbor, the Intracoastal south routes through North Beach and Miami Beach toward Star Island and the celebrity island chain in central Biscayne Bay. North Miami is one of the few mainland city addresses that can reach both Haulover Sandbar in the north and Star Island in the south through two different causeway routes without adding significant travel time to either destination.
WHERE WE DEPART
Marina Departure Points Near North Miami
Bill Bird Marina covers northern routes. Pelican Harbor Marina covers southern routes. Both are 15 to 20 minutes from most North Miami addresses.
Sandbar Route
Bill Bird Marina, Haulover Park
Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park is the primary departure for North Miami charters whose itinerary includes Haulover Sandbar, Haulover Inlet, or the open Atlantic. From most North Miami addresses, the marina is 15 to 20 minutes via 163rd Street east to Collins Avenue and then south to Haulover Park, or via Sunny Isles Boulevard east. The marina is directly adjacent to Haulover Sandbar and provides the fastest sandbar access of any marina available to North Miami guests.
Bay Route
Pelican Harbor Marina, 79th Street
Pelican Harbor Marina at the 79th Street Causeway is 15 to 20 minutes from most North Miami addresses via 79th Street east. This marina serves North Miami charters routing south into central Biscayne Bay toward the Venetian Islands, Star Island, or the downtown Miami skyline. The marina sits on a calm, protected harbor with Intracoastal access in both directions and is the preferred departure for North Miami guests whose itinerary focuses on the southern bay rather than the northern sandbar.
Central Bay
Island Gardens Marina, Watson Island
Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island is 25 to 35 minutes from North Miami and handles larger vessels requiring deep-water slips. For North Miami groups chartering yachts above 100 feet, or charters combining a Biscayne Bay itinerary with a downtown Miami or Brickell event, Island Gardens provides the deepest water access and the best downtown bay positioning available to North Miami guests.
South Bay
Dinner Key Marina, Coconut Grove
Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove is 25 to 35 minutes from North Miami via US-1 south. It is the largest marina in Miami and serves as the departure point for North Miami charters whose itinerary focuses on the Coconut Grove waterfront, central Biscayne Bay, or south toward Key Biscayne and Biscayne National Park. Full-day North Miami charters combining a northern sandbar morning stop with an afternoon celebrity island cruise can route from Bill Bird Marina in the morning and anchor in central bay by afternoon without changing departure points.

Most Popular
Haulover Sandbar
Haulover Sandbar is the most requested destination on any North Miami charter. From Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park, 15 to 20 minutes from most North Miami addresses, the sandbar anchorage is under 10 minutes by water. The combined drive and water transit puts North Miami guests at the sandbar in under 35 minutes from their front door, competitive with any departure zone in the metro. Weekend afternoon charters from North Miami to Haulover Sandbar are the single most booked format from the city.
Open Water
Haulover Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean
Haulover Inlet, at the northern end of the Intracoastal Waterway in Miami Beach, is accessible from Bill Bird Marina in under 10 minutes. From North Miami, the combined drive and water transit puts guests on open Atlantic in under 30 minutes. The Atlantic via Haulover Inlet is used for offshore reef snorkeling, fishing excursions, and open-ocean sunset cruises along the Miami Beach coastline. The Haulover Inlet passage, with the Sunny Isles Beach and North Beach tower rows on both sides, is a consistently photographed moment on any North Miami Atlantic charter.
Intracoastal
Intracoastal Waterway South to Miami Beach
The Intracoastal south from Pelican Harbor Marina passes through the full length of Miami Beach before reaching Government Cut and the bay. From North Miami, an Intracoastal south charter covers approximately 12 miles of continuous waterfront, passing the Collins Avenue hotel corridor, the backs of the Miami Beach luxury towers, and the Venetian Causeway bridges before reaching the celebrity island chain. The full southward Intracoastal from a North Miami departure is one of the longest single-direction scenic waterway routes available from any northern metro departure.
Intracoastal North
Sunny Isles Beach and Aventura
The Intracoastal north of Pelican Harbor Marina passes through North Beach, the Surfside boundary, Sunny Isles Beach, and into the Aventura area. North Miami charters routing north on the Intracoastal pass Oleta River State Park's mangrove shoreline before reaching the Sunny Isles Beach Collins Avenue tower row and continuing north to the Aventura marina area. The northbound Intracoastal from North Miami provides continuous views of the barrier island waterfront on the eastern side and the mainland residential back-bay on the west.
Celebrity Estates
Star Island and the Celebrity Island Chain
Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island in central Biscayne Bay are 40 to 50 minutes south of Pelican Harbor Marina via the Intracoastal. Full-day charters from North Miami that combine a morning Haulover Sandbar stop from Bill Bird Marina with an afternoon Star Island cruise departing from Pelican Harbor cover the two most popular Miami boating destinations in a single day. The combined north-to-south itinerary is available to North Miami guests because of the city's access to both marina corridors.
Skyline
Downtown Miami Skyline from the Bay
The downtown Miami and Brickell skylines viewed from open Biscayne Bay between the Venetian and MacArthur causeways are one of the most dramatic bay views in the metro. From Pelican Harbor Marina via the Intracoastal south, the prime downtown bay view position is under 40 minutes from North Miami. Evening charters from North Miami routed to the downtown bay position at golden hour are the most requested sunset charter format for North Miami business guests and corporate groups.

WHAT TO KNOW
Planning Your North Miami Yacht Charter
01
Getting to the Marina from North Miami
For Haulover Sandbar charters, Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park is 15 to 20 minutes from most North Miami addresses via 163rd Street east to Collins Avenue, or via Sunny Isles Boulevard. For Intracoastal south and bay charters, Pelican Harbor Marina is 15 to 20 minutes via 79th Street east to the Miami Beach causeway. Both routes are well marked and consistent in drive time outside of rush hour. We recommend arriving at least 20 minutes before scheduled departure for boarding and the captain's safety briefing.
02
Parking at North Miami Departure Marinas
Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park has a paid public parking lot accessible from A1A. On busy summer weekends the lot can fill by mid-morning. Weekday charters and morning weekend departures before 10am avoid congestion. Pelican Harbor Marina at 79th Street has limited on-site parking and is best approached by rideshare for groups of four or more. For most North Miami guests, rideshare to either marina is the fastest and most straightforward option, with typical pickup-to-marina transit times of 20 minutes or less.
03
Best Time of Day for a North Miami Charter
Morning charters departing from Bill Bird Marina between 9am and 11am reach Haulover Sandbar before the weekend anchorage crowd builds. Afternoon charters from 1pm to 4pm find the sandbar at its most social. For Atlantic ocean excursions via Haulover Inlet, morning departures produce the calmest conditions. Sunset Intracoastal charters departing south from Pelican Harbor at 5pm to 6pm arrive at the Venetian Islands and Star Island area at golden hour, which is the most requested evening format for North Miami birthday and anniversary groups.
04
Charter Duration from North Miami
Most North Miami charters run 3 to 5 hours. A 3-hour charter from Bill Bird Marina covers a full Haulover Sandbar stop, a Haulover Inlet Atlantic pass, and an Intracoastal return passing the North Beach and Surfside skylines. A 4-hour charter adds a longer sandbar stay or a reef snorkeling stop off the Atlantic coast. A 5 to 6 hour charter from Pelican Harbor covering the full Intracoastal south to Star Island and back is the most ambitious standard itinerary from North Miami. Birthday and bachelorette groups typically book 4-hour minimums.
05
Group Size and Vessel Selection
Private yacht charters from North Miami accommodate groups from 2 to 13 guests on standard vessels. North Miami has a diverse mix of residential guests, local families, and business groups. Motor yachts in the 45 to 75 foot range suit most North Miami charter group sizes. Larger sport yachts in the 65 to 105 foot range are available from the Crown Yachts Miami fleet for groups requiring more deck space or a more prominent vessel.
