A private boat for your group, leaving from Coconut Grove rather than the busier downtown marinas, which means less idling on the river and more time on the open bay. The route takes in the skyline, Fisher Island, Star Island and the Miami Beach coast, often with a stop near Marine Stadium to anchor and relax. The trip ends with a slow cruise through the Brickell canals.
You can bring your own drinks and snacks, play your own music, and ask for champagne. There's also a floating water mat.
The real price
The listed price isn't the whole story. The captain is charged at about $40 an hour, and there's a $50 fuel and dock fee per booking, both paid on top. Split between a group, it's still good value for a private trip.
