Experience Miami Your Way
Miami Sunset Cruise & Miami Night Cruise
The Miami Sunset Cruise is by far the most popular. And here’s the truth: it’s the same Miami Celebrity Boat Tour you take during the day — just scheduled during the sunset hours. At Miami Boat Tours, honesty matters, and if we call it a Miami Sunset Cruise, we’ll tell you straight: the route doesn’t change. You’ll still see the mansions of Miami Beach, with a live tour guide in English and Spanish, aboard a boat with a capacity of 140 passengers (we usually board around 130). And yes — it sells out daily.
So what makes it a real “Sunset Cruise”? After we pass Fisher Island, you’ll spend about 30 to 45 minutes heading west with the Miami skyline in full view. At sunset, this skyline transforms into something breathtaking. On the right day — maybe after a Miami rain shower — the sky glows pink, orange, and purple, creating a view that’s nothing short of unforgettable. That’s the Miami Sunset Cruise.
Now for the Miami Night Cruise. Some call it the Miami Twilight Cruise, but don’t get fooled by the name — it’s simply the Miami Night Cruise. Like every other departure, it’s a 90-minute tour, guided live in English and Spanish. The difference? You’re sailing under the stars, the moonlight reflecting off Biscayne Bay, with the Miami skyline sparkling in front of you. Add the ocean breeze and our exclusive Mojito Bar on board, and it’s easy to see why many locals call this their favorite cruise. Some even call it the perfect Miami date night.
Both the Miami Sunset Cruise and the Miami Night Cruise run seven days a week, sell out daily, and are perfect for families, groups, solo travelers, couples, or anyone looking for the best views of Miami. With guests joining us from all around the world, our Miami boat tours — whether by day, at sunset, or at night — are designed for everyone to experience the full Miami 360° panoramic view of Biscayne Bay.
