Step onto a quiet electric Duffy boat for two hours on the Miami River, just your party, a captain, wine and a charcuterie board. You'll glide towards Brickell and downtown, under movable bridges, with a chance of manatees and iguanas on the banks. Later slots catch the city lights on the water as you ease towards Biscayne Bay.
The captain meets you in the Chamonix Marina parking lot, you leave shoes at the dock, and the table is set with wine and the charcuterie board before you leave the basin. The two hours follow the Miami River towards Brickell and downtown, under the movable bridges, with a chance of manatees, birds and iguanas on the banks. You stay seated with glasses and the board while the captain times the bridges and other river traffic.
When the river opens towards Biscayne Bay you may pass larger ships and see the Skyviews wheel as the light drops. Later bookings often stay out for the city lights on the water before turning back to the same marina. You step off at the dock, put shoes back on, and walk to the lot by door 5.
Chamonix Marina sits on the Miami River at 3660 NW 21st Street, a working dock rather than a beach club. You start in a quieter stretch of river and move towards Brickell and downtown, passing the bridges that open for larger traffic.
When the route reaches Biscayne Bay you may see cruise ships and the Skyviews wheel across the water. The return is the same river, so you finish back at the same lot you parked in, close to door 5.
No boating experience is needed and there is no minimum age to come aboard. Infants sit on an adult's lap. You should be able to step from the dock onto a small boat and follow a short safety brief.
Wine is only for guests 21 and over. Wear clothes you can sit in for two hours and shoes you can remove. If anyone in the party is unsteady on their feet, say so when you book so the captain can plan seating.
This is a private boat, not a shared sightseeing deck, so the pace stays with your table. The hull is electric, which keeps the ride quiet enough to talk and to watch the banks for manatees without an outboard drowning the river.
Wine and a proper charcuterie board are part of the two hours, and the captain handles the bridges and the bay turn. You spend the time looking at Miami from the water, not working out how to drive the boat.
You'll meet in the Chamonix Marina parking lot at 3660 NW 21st Street and walk to the Duffy once the captain has you signed in. Shoes come off at the dock, the wine and charcuterie are already on the table, and you get a short brief on seating and the river. The boat leaves the basin on electric power, so the first minutes are quiet enough to settle in.
The river run heads towards Brickell and downtown, under the movable bridges and along banks where manatees, birds and iguanas often show. You stay seated with the board and glasses while the captain times the bridges and other traffic. This is the stretch for skyline photos and a slower look at the city from water level.
When the river opens towards Biscayne Bay you may pass larger ships and see the Skyviews wheel as the light drops. Later bookings often stay out for the city lights on the water before turning back to the same marina. You step off at the dock, put shoes back on, and walk to the lot by door 5.
You'll meet at the parking lot of Chamonix Marina, 3660 NW 21st Street, Miami, FL 33142. Park closer to door 5 if you can, then wait in the lot so the captain can find your party without you walking the docks on your own.
The marina sits on the Miami River, a short drive from downtown and the airport. Give yourself extra time at peak hours, as this is a working marina lot rather than a hotel porte cochere.
The private cruise is for your party only, with room for up to 11 people on the electric Duffy boat. Infants can sit on an adult's lap, and there is no minimum age for coming aboard.
Wine is only served to guests who are 21 or older. Younger guests still get the charcuterie and the river time, just without alcohol.
Your booking includes a two-hour private cruise with a captain, a charcuterie board of meats, cheeses, crackers and fruit, and a choice of white, red or sparkling wine. Sparkling wine is for private departures.
Alcohol is for guests 21 and over. The boat is captained, so you do not drive. Shoes stay off once you step aboard, so wear something easy to slip off at the dock.
This cruise is planned to run rain or shine. The Duffy has a canopy and panels you can close if the weather turns, so a light shower does not automatically cancel the two hours.
If conditions on the river are unsafe, the team will contact you about the next step. Do not assume a grey sky means you should stay home without checking.
The route follows the Miami River towards Brickell and downtown, then out towards Biscayne Bay when the bridges and traffic allow. You pass movable bridges, the city skyline and, on many trips, manatees, birds and iguanas on the banks.
Later light can show the city and the Skyviews wheel reflecting on the water. Wildlife is never guaranteed, and the exact turnaround depends on river traffic and how your party wants to spend the two hours.
Wine and a charcuterie board are already on the table for this cruise. If you want extra snacks for children, ask when you book rather than arriving with a full picnic that the crew has not planned for.
Small dogs can come if you keep them with you for the whole trip. Say so in advance so the captain knows who is boarding at Chamonix Marina.
Yes, you cruise on a fully electric Duffy boat with a captain at the helm. You do not need a boat licence or any time on the water. The point is a quiet ride, not a lesson in handling the boat.
The electric hull keeps the engine note low along the river, which helps if you want to talk or listen for wildlife. Follow the captain's brief on where to sit and when to stay seated under bridges.
The marina is at 3660 NW 21st Street in Miami, on the river west of downtown. Public transport is nearby, and taxis or ride-hail drop at the lot. If you drive, use the marina parking and aim for door 5.
There is no hotel pickup on this product. Make your own way to the meeting point and allow time for river-area traffic, especially later in the afternoon.
Wear comfortable clothes for a warm evening on the water, and shoes you can take off at the dock. The boat is no-shoes once you are aboard, and the canopy keeps sun and light rain off the table.
Bring a light layer if you are booking a later slot, as it can cool once you move towards the bay. Leave large luggage at your hotel. There is room for a small bag, not for suitcases.
Cancel up to 72 hours before the cruise for a refund, noting that card processing fees from the original payment are not returned. You can reschedule up to 24 hours before the start time if another slot is free.
The live calendar sits in the booking system. If you are inside those windows, write as soon as you know so the captain and the food prep can be adjusted.
