Miami Sunset and City Lights Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar

Two hours on the water as Miami shifts from golden hour to glittering skyline, with an open bar flowing the whole way. It departs from Bayside Marketplace, the heart of downtown's waterfront.

What the cruise includes

The trip runs about two hours, with a from-price of $69 per person shown on the live listing. Checked September 2026. You sail out of Miamarina at Bayside Marketplace, a waterfront spot that has hosted boat tours since the 1950s, when the family behind Island Queen Cruises first set up operations there. As the sun drops, the boat traces the bay while the downtown towers and Brickell skyline light up behind you. An open bar keeps cocktails in hand throughout, and the operator's modern yachts carry an air-conditioned lower salon plus an open upper deck, so you can pick between shade and an unobstructed view of the horizon.

Weather, the Bay & What to Expect

Open-bar cocktail cruises on Biscayne Bay share the water with the working port next door, so you'll likely see a cargo or cruise ship in the distance near PortMiami, documented on the county's own Miami-Dade County's official PortMiami page. The bigger planning factor is the calendar: Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and a tropical system can push a sailing to a different night. The National Hurricane Center is the source operators actually watch when a storm is in the forecast.
