Know Before You Go
Your Guide to Miami Beach
Where glamour meets the Atlantic Ocean
About the Area
Miami Beach is a barrier island separating Biscayne Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Its Art Deco Historic District, world-famous nightlife, and pristine beaches make it one of the most recognizable waterfronts in the world. Departing from Miami Beach means stepping from the beach scene directly onto the water.
On the Water
The marina sits between the glamour of South Beach and the calm of Biscayne Bay. Cruise ships pass through Government Cut while restaurants, hotels, and nightclubs line the shore. The energy is always high.
The bay side is calm and protected. The ocean side has light swells that add to the cruising experience. Government Cut provides a dramatic passage to the open Atlantic, flanked by jetties and the port.
Fisher Island is 5 minutes from the marina. Star Island is 10 minutes. The ocean via Government Cut is 10 minutes. Haulover Sandbar is 20 minutes north along the beach.
Getting There
Miami Beach is connected to the mainland via several causeways (MacArthur, Julia Tuttle, 79th Street). Parking at marinas varies ($15-$30). Rideshare from downtown Miami takes 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.
What Guests Love
- Stepping off Ocean Drive directly onto a yacht
- Cruising past the Art Deco skyline from the water
- Watching cruise ships pass through Government Cut up close
- Easy access to both bay-side calm and ocean-side adventure

Before & After Your Charter

- Visit South Pointe Park for panoramic views of Government Cut and Fisher Island
- Explore the shops and restaurants on Lincoln Road Mall

Insider Tips
- Government Cut is busiest with cruise ships on Saturdays and Sundays — the spectacle of a massive ship passing overhead is worth timing your charter around.
- The bay between Miami Beach and Star Island is one of the calmest stretches in the area — perfect for wine and cheese at anchor.
- Miami Beach marinas fill up fast during Art Basel (December) and the Miami Open (March) — book well in advance during these events.
Motor yachts (50-70 feet) deliver the full South Beach luxury experience. For premium events, super yachts (80-110 feet) including the Antago 110 and San Lorenzo 97 take that experience to flagship scale. Sport boats are great for active groups heading to sandbars or snorkeling.
