About this experience
Water Taxi Miami is more than transportation — it’s a scenic, relaxing way to explore the city. Board at Bayside Marketplace (Downtown) or Miami Beach Marina (South Beach). The ride is about 30 minutes each way.
Round-trip lets you explore the other side of Biscayne Bay before returning. A bilingual captain narrates the ride, and drinks are available onboard.
From Bayside to South Beach, cruise past celebrity homes on Hibiscus, Palm, Star, Sunset, and the Venetian Islands.
From South Beach to Downtown, pass Fisher Island, Port of Miami, Brickell, Brickell Key, and the Miami River.
Enjoy skyline views in both directions — one of the world’s most vibrant skylines.
Why take a taxi when you can cruise — same price, 10x the views?
