Sail a luxury catamaran exclusively chartered for your group across turquoise Biscayne Bay to the only living coral reef in the continental United States. A pristine marine wilderness just minutes offshore.
What to expect
Cast off from Bayside Marina and sail southeast across Biscayne Bay's gin-clear waters to the protected reefs of Biscayne National Park, 95% of which is underwater wilderness. Your marine biologist guide briefs you on reef etiquette and ecology before you slip into the water above brain coral formations, elkhorn coral gardens, and schools of angelfish, parrotfish, and spotted eagle rays. Back aboard, a private catered lunch from a Miami chef is served on deck as the captain finds a secluded sandbar for a private swim stop. The return sail at golden hour with Miami's skyline on the horizon is the perfect ending.
Good to know
Departs from Bayside Marketplace Marina, approximately 10 minutes from PortMiami by rideshare. Pre-book the private charter with the marine biologist add-on directly. Reef conditions are best in calm weather May–September; confirm sea state the morning of. Allow 5–6 hours total.
