Sunset Champagne Cruise on Biscayne Bay with Miami Skyline Views

Watch the Miami skyline light up at golden hour on this sunset cruise through Biscayne Bay, with champagne in hand and the city's waterfront mansions drifting past. Departures run from Bayside Marketplace with Miami Aqua Tours, an operator working these waters since 1999.

What to Expect on the Water

The cruise departs from Bayside Marketplace, the busy waterfront hub where most of Miami's sightseeing boats dock. Miami Aqua Tours has run tours from this spot for more than 25 years and operates a fleet of US Coast Guard certified vessels with bilingual guides on board. As the boat moves out onto Biscayne Bay, you'll glide past downtown Miami's skyline, the bayfront mansions, and the open water that makes this stretch of the coast famous at sunset. Champagne is served as the light turns gold, and the pace is relaxed rather than rushed, with plenty of time at the rail for photos. The current price and available departure times are shown on the live booking page.

Biscayne Bay, the Port & the Season

Champagne sunset routes cross the same bay PortMiami operates in, and the county's Miami-Dade County's official PortMiami page is a good primary source if you're curious what that port actually handles beyond the cruise ships you'll see from the deck. Timing-wise, June through November is Atlantic hurricane season in South Florida, and operators here reroute or reschedule around real storms rather than risk the crossing. The National Hurricane Center publishes the live storm tracking for that window.
