Is Seeing Miami’s Celebrity Mansions the Only Thing on a Miami Sightseeing Cruise?


Absolutely not. While our celebrity homes cruise gives you a close-up look at the famous mansions of Star Island, Hibiscus Island, and Fisher Island, that’s only part of the journey.

Our route doesn’t just pass by the homes of the rich and famous — it also takes you into the entrance of the Miami River, giving you views of architectural icons and luxury towers that define the city’s skyline. From futuristic designs to historic landmarks, this is where Miami’s energy comes alive on the water.

  • Bayside Marketplace & Port of Miami – Where do we depart from? Right in front of Bayside Marketplace in Downtown Miami. On the right, do you see the Port of Miami? It’s one of the largest cruise ship ports in the world and often home to some of the biggest cruise ships ever built. A true highlight of any Miami boat cruise or bay ride in Miami.

  • Venetian Causeway & Venetian Islands – Do you know which bridge in Miami is the oldest? The Venetian Causeway, built in 1939, once made of wood, rebuilt after a hurricane, and even shown in 2 Fast 2 Furious. On the Venetian Islands, do you recognize the names Antonio Banderas, Jackie Chan, or Paulina Rubio? They’ve all owned homes here — a classic stop on a celebrity homes cruise Miami and a popular Biscayne Bay sightseeing highlight.


  • Hibiscus Island & Palm Island – Which island did Al Capone once own property on? Palm Island. Both Hibiscus and Palm Islands showcase history, luxury, and why Miami sightseeing cruises and even a simple boat ride Miami always impress.


  • Star Island – Is this the most famous island in Miami? Yes. Here you’ll see the homes of Gloria Estefan, Will Smith (Bad Boys II filmed here), Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Rick Ross, David Beckham, Madonna (former home), Rosie O’Donnell, the Scarface mansion, Sylvester Stallone (former home), and Shaquille O’Neal. This stop is why people say a Star Island boat tour is a must-do in Miami.


  • Miami Beach Marina & The Triple Skyline – Did you know Miami offers three skylines at once? From here you can see Miami Beach, South Beach, and Downtown Miami. That’s why many call this the ultimate Miami sightseeing cruise and the most complete Biscayne Bay boat ride available.

Depending on traffic, we may enter the Miami River and perform the famous Miami 360° spin — a panoramic move no other Miami boat tours or sightseeing Miami by boat experiences include.

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.
