About the Area
South Beach — the southern tip of Miami Beach — is one of the most famous neighborhoods on earth. Its Art Deco architecture, celebrity-studded nightlife, and pristine beach create an energy that extends onto the water. A yacht charter from South Beach is as much about the scene as the sailing.
On the Water
The marina sits at the southern tip of the barrier island, surrounded by luxury hotels, Fisher Island ferries, and cruise ships navigating Government Cut. The view from the water includes Ocean Drive, the South Beach skyline, and the open Atlantic.
Protected on the bay side with direct ocean access through Government Cut. Light Atlantic swells on the ocean side. The channel is well-marked and heavily trafficked — your captain handles all navigation.
Fisher Island is visible from the dock. Star Island is 10 minutes. The ocean is 10 minutes via Government Cut. Haulover Sandbar is 20-25 minutes north along the coast.
