    Why here

    Skip the causeway traffic — cross Biscayne Bay by private boat, straight to the Florida Keys.

    Miami Beach est une île-barrière séparée du continent par la baie de Biscayne : tout ce que la route contourne en plusieurs ponts et causeways, le bateau le traverse en ligne directe. Government Cut, le chenal profond emprunté par les paquebots de croisière du Port de Miami, sépare South Beach de Fisher Island et impose prudence et respect des distances de sécurité. Plus au sud, la route vers les Keys longe la barrière de récif jusqu'à Key West, alternative maritime à l'Overseas Highway, tristement célèbre pour ses embouteillages de fin de semaine.

    01

    Bypass the causeway and Overseas Highway bottlenecks

    During Art Basel week or Boat Show weekends, the MacArthur and Julia Tuttle causeways lock up for hours, and the single-lane Overseas Highway (US-1) toward the Keys turns into a legendary weekend crawl. Boarding at South Pointe and running down the bay and along the reef line sidesteps all of it.

    02

    A direct line across a working bay, not around it

    Biscayne Bay separates Miami Beach from the mainland and the barrier islands — Star Island, Fisher Island, Belle Isle — that a car can only reach by looping back through the city. A private boat cuts straight across, past Government Cut and the cruise-ship channel, to wherever the water actually goes.

    03

    One closed cabin for the whole group, one crossing

    A day trip toward the Keys means hours on open water with sun, chop and salt spray. A single air-conditioned cabin for up to 10 guests keeps the group together and comfortable for the long haul to Key West, instead of splitting across cars and a ferry.

    FAQ

    Useful to know.

    The main embarkation point is Miami Beach Marina at South Pointe, on the Biscayne Bay side of South Beach. Pickup at a hotel dock (such as The Standard Spa on Belle Isle or the Fontainebleau's own marina on Indian Creek) or another marina in the area can be arranged in advance.

    On a normal day the drive down the Overseas Highway already takes several hours; on a Keys weekend or during an event, US-1 traffic can add hours more. The boat runs a straight line at a steady cruising speed, in one closed cabin, without a single traffic light.

    A private closed-cabin boat and crew for up to 10 passengers, for the route and duration shown. Fuel for longer crossings, waiting time, and any special requests are quoted separately based on your exact plans.

    Summer afternoons in South Florida bring fast-building thunderstorms, and the June-to-November hurricane season can affect scheduling. Departures are confirmed against the marine forecast, and trips are rescheduled rather than run in unsafe conditions.

    No — this is a domestic route within Florida waters, so no passport or customs clearance is needed, just a valid photo ID for the group.
