Miami Long-Weekend on the Bay

Memorial & Labor Day
Weekend Cruise

Bookend your summer on the water. Kick off the long weekend with a daytime sip-and-swim or a sunset cruise along Biscayne Bay — skyline views, swim stops, and your whole crew aboard.

Daytime & sunset sailings Up to 49 guests Holiday-weekend group rates

The Best Way to Spend the Long Weekend Is on the Water

Memorial Day kicks off summer and Labor Day sends it out in style — both deserve more than a backyard barbecue. Cruise past the Miami skyline and celebrity mansions, anchor at a sandbar for a sip-and-swim, and float the afternoon away. Daytime or sunset, the long weekend is yours.

We've been Miami's go-to for group celebrations on the water since 2013. The captain handles the route and the anchor spot; you bring the crew and the cooler. Holiday weekends book up fast, so reserve early — group rates are available all weekend long.

Why the Long Weekend Is Better on the Bay

Three reasons a holiday-weekend cruise beats every land-based plan.

☀️
Day-to-Sunset FlexibilityPick a daytime sip-and-swim or a golden-hour sunset cruise — or go long and do both. The whole day, your call.
🏝️
Sandbar & Swim StopsAnchor at Haulover Sandbar or Raccoon Island for a swim, float, and a break from the heat. Floats included.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Built for Big GroupsFamilies, friend groups, and team outings up to 49 guests. Holiday-weekend group rates make it easy.
