Biscayne Bay, with its combination of crystal waters, sheltered islands and coral reefs, has been attracting adventurers and explorers for centuries. Now, it is the location of the busy cruise ship harbor at the Port of Miami, the yacht club and golf resort homes of Fisher Island, and the Star Island playgrounds of the rich and famous. The islands and shorelines of the North Bay between Downtown Miami and Miami Beach provide settings for the incredible homes of Miami’s most upscale neighborhoods, where palatial mansions set on expansive palm-studded lawns look out on a resort-scape of tropical waters, yacht moorages and luxury high-rise hotels and condos. And you can see it all first hand and close-up as you ply the calm waters of Biscayne Bay in a beautiful double-decker sight-seeing end or islandessel.
Miami Beach represents the fruition of the dreams of pioneer Florida real estate entrepreneurs John Collins and Carl Fisher. The two men were the driving force behind the marketing and development campaign that brought wealthy northeasterners down to build luxurious vacation homes along the Biscayne Bay waterfront and occupy splendidly opulent apartment towers overlooking the turquoise waters of the Atlantic. Towering luxury hotels and condominium residences now line the white sand strand that has become a vacation playground of international renown and served as the backdrop for countless movie and TV scenes, while the shores and man-made islands of the Bay host trophy properties owned by the wealthy celebrity elite. Known as Millionaire’s Row, this area is one of Miami’s scenic highlights, and the view from offshore will allow you to appreciate the full scale and grandeur of these iconic waterfront estates.
As you cruise the bay and along the shorelines, you will be presented with unparalleled views of the downtown Miami skyline and Miami Beach, while the waterfront scenes along with the endless variety of passing marine traffic keep the fun and interest levels high throughout the entire 90-minute cruise. Listen to informative and interesting narration provided in English and Spanish by a local guide while the boat passes by these incredible properties. Take in the sights through the picture windows of the air-conditioned salon or from a seat out in the fresh breezes on the shaded, open upper deck. Sip a refreshing soft drink or cocktail, have a light snack and enjoy a relaxing ride across the calm Biscayne Bay waters and through the heart of America’s premiere coastal resort destination.
