Sunset Star Island Cruise

What a fantastic experience! We absolutely loved this cruise and couldn’t recommend it enough. We chose the sunset cruise and I genuinely think this is the best time of day to go. We left while it was still daylight, watched the sun set over Miami and returned after dark with the entire skyline illuminated. It was absolutely beautiful and almost felt like getting three different experiences in one trip! The views throughout were amazing. Seeing places like Star Island and Fisher Island from the water was fascinating, and getting to see the incredible waterfront properties and Miami skyline from a completely different perspective was brilliant. The boat itself was comfortable too. There were bench seats running across the boat, which were perfectly fine for the two-hour trip. The views were excellent from either side, so you didn’t feel like you had to sit in a particular spot to enjoy the scenery. The gentleman providing the commentary was fantastic too. He was funny, engaging and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It wasn’t just a boat ride looking at buildings; he really added something to the trip. There’s also a bar onboard and, surprisingly, the prices were really reasonable! Soft drinks were $2, mocktails $4 and cocktails $10. Considering you’re on a sightseeing cruise in Miami, I thought that was excellent. Our cruise lasted two hours and cost just $36 per person. What incredible value for money! I’m genuinely not sure what else you can do for $36 these days that provides two hours of entertainment, beautiful scenery and such a memorable experience. They also take a souvenir photograph before boarding, which you can purchase afterwards. What I particularly appreciated was that there was absolutely no pressure to buy it. None whatsoever! We actually did purchase ours, but it was entirely our choice. The only slightly disappointing thing was seeing how few people tipped the crew at the end. I think we only saw a couple of people leave a tip, which was a shame because the team really deserved the recognition for such a lovely experience. We loved every minute of this cruise and would absolutely do it again. If you’re visiting Miami, I’d definitely recommend booking a departure that lets you experience the sunset and the city lights. For $36 per person, this was genuinely one of the best-value experiences of our holiday. Absolutely brilliant!

Rain or shine!! We were concerned because it was raining hard, thunder and lightning. But, trip took off.

Drinks, staff and music were good. I took my young adult kids. However tour was unimpressive especially if you've done this tour before. All stops on iteniary are pass bys. And we were told about 4 homes Shaqs former home, JLO, Diddy, DJ Khaled. There are many others. Site also says approximately 2 hours. We didn't leave the doc until 7:20 and returned before 9. When I asked why it was short and why we were returning I was told due to FIFA traffic. It was so busy yesterday. Yesterday?

Boarding was very easy. The ship was set up a little weird, so we stood most of the tour. We were scheduled for an apx. 2 hour tour and it was less than 90 min. The experience was just off. The crew was lovely and the price was good.

We really enjoyed the cruise, very informative with a bit of humor. Only suggestion would be to have some place on the boat where the sound/music isn’t quite as loud. I was taken aback about some type of drawing which ended up as a timeshare offer….

Everything was nice. We departed on time and had fun on board. My 4 years old daughter enjoyed it too.

Fun family experience! The crew were welcoming and entertaining which created a great vibe; our host offered lots of info on the celebrity homes/area along with playing DJ and keeping the lively music going throughout the cruise. Even with the questionable weather (rain let up just in time for our cruise), they went out of their way to see that we had a great time.

Lovely experience, excellent music and wonderful vibe !!

It was a good time and very fun!

Very nice water view of Miami area. Perfect timing for stunning sunset views of Miami skyline. Good experience!

Really great , it’s a must do:, the guide was great , the view was great !! Moreover; it’s so close to the bayside market !

I booked this cruise for my family and me for the same day. We got stuck in the traffic due to a car accident and couldn’t make it to the cruise. They sent me an email when I bought the tickets saying if we can’t make it we need to call the phone number In The email. I called and left a voicemail also couple days later I sent an email to get my refund. I got no response back at all, complete ignorance. I haven’t try the cruise to say anything about it but their communication is ZERO stars and once they get your money, nothing else matters to them.

Very cool experience 10/10. Host was great and entertaining. I loved the chance to get a picture as a souvenir at the end.

This was a terrific way to see the sunset over the marvelous Miami skyline and learn interesting facts about the area. We booked this cruise for a birthday celebration before dinner, and our family of 9 all enjoyed it! You can shop, eat and listen to music in Bayside right where you catch the cruise. You'll enjoy every moment!

great disco playlist, not too much blabla, a bar for a pina colada or a beer and especially beautiful sunset views, nice team
