If you'd rather not share a deck with fifty strangers, this is one of the better-value ways to get on the water. The boat is yours for two hours: it heads out from the Miami River toward Biscayne Bay, past Star Island's waterfront homes and along the Miami Beach side, with the skyline behind you most of the way.
It's a slow, easygoing cruise rather than a speedboat ride. Bring your own drinks and snacks (there's a cooler with ice) and play your own music through the Bluetooth speaker.

The listed price is for the boat. The captain is paid separately, for the two hours, and the lead traveler has to complete a short bareboat charter process to choose one. So add the captain fee to your budget when you compare it with shared cruises. There's no restroom on board, only at the marina.
With more than 4,000 reviews averaging 4.9, it's one of the best-reviewed boat trips in Miami.
