Staying in Brickell or downtown Miami? Our boats leave from Rickenbacker Marina, a short drive across the Rickenbacker Causeway. Rent a Bayliner E18 for up to 8 guests, 4 hours from $599, with free parking.
You don’t need to leave the city to get out on the water. From our dock you can cruise right past the Brickell skyline, up the Miami River and around the islands of Biscayne Bay, then come back to free parking and no downtown traffic.
