Board a sleek private speedboat for a VIP run across Biscayne Bay — stopping at the legendary Star Island millionaire mansions, a hidden sandsbar, and a living coral reef for guided snorkeling. Pure South Florida glamour.
What to expect
Your private captain navigates past the glittering skyline and the palatial waterfront homes of Star Island before anchoring at a secluded Biscayne Bay sandbar where the water is knee-deep and turquoise. Chilled champagne and seasonal fruit are served before the boat continues to a shallow coral reef inside Biscayne National Park. A certified guide leads the snorkel with high-end equipment provided. The return journey hugs the Port of Miami channel for dramatic ship-spotting views.
Good to know
Island Queen's private dock is a 5-minute walk from PortMiami Terminal — no transfer needed. Book the private charter at least 3 weeks in advance. Reef snorkeling requires calm sea conditions; the captain will advise on alternatives if needed. Bring reef-safe sunscreen; the operator provides all snorkel gear.
