The History of Star Island Boat Tours

Star Island has a fascinating history that adds to its allure and mystique. Originally known as "Miami Island," it was dredged and developed in the 1920s by a real estate developer named Carl G. Fisher. Fisher had big dreams of creating an exclusive and luxurious island retreat for the rich and famous. He envisioned a place where celebrities, industrialists, and politicians could escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy privacy and opulence.

The island quickly became a hotspot for the elite, attracting the likes of Al Capone, Gloria Estefan, Shaquille O'Neal, and a new resident now Rick Ross. Over the years, Star Island has maintained its reputation as a playground for the rich and famous. Its pristine waterfront mansions have become icons of luxury and style, and many of them are still owned by some of the world's most prominent celebrities. That's why the Star Island Boat Tour is the Miami Boat Tour of the year!

Exploring the history of Star Island is like taking a step back in time. On a Miami boat tour, you'll learn about the island's transformation from a marshy piece of land to a paradise for the rich and famous. It's an opportunity to uncover the secrets and stories behind the glamorous facades of the mansions and imagine what life was like for the people who called Star Island home. It must be nice!

Miami Millionaire's Row Cruise also known as The Star Island Boat Tour!

The cost per ticket is $25.99 for adults. Only Miami Skyline Cruises can offer prices year-round with a reservation that is made as soon as you book your tickets online! That's why Miami Skyline Cruises is your official Miami Boat tour Company!

The New - Star Island Miami Skyline Tour

You have to experience it to believe it. Back in the day everyone always talked about Miami Millionaire's row cruise, but after 2011, a new Star was born. The Miami Skyline. Ever since Shaquille O'Neil came to our beautiful City in 2004, he invested over 100 million dollars in downtown Miami. Opening the door for many new High-rises to call Downtown Miami Home. But it also created the Miami Skyline Cruise to be added to the top of the list of Miami's most popular Tours. So what Miami Boat Tour companies did was they added the Miami Skyline to the Millionaires Row cruise.

Now visitors can enjoy the homes of the rich and famous and the Miami Skyline Cruise together all in 90 minutes. No one can miss this tour. That's why we named it Star Island Miami Skyline Tour. The first half of the tour highlights the Venetian Islands, Hibiscus Island, Palm Island, Star Island, and Monument Island are the star of the show. Of course, we must include Miami Beach and South Beach. Then the second half of the Miami boat tour, we see Fisher Island, and the Port of Miami, and then the tour guide takes a break and tells everyone to bring out their cell phones because the Miami Skyline is in front of them. The Miami Skyline from the water is one of the most beautiful sites you can see, and of course, is selfie time.

Miami Skyline Cruises itinerary

Miami Skyline Cruises created its organic name for the Miami boat tour. From the Star Island Miami Skyline Cruise, Miami Skyline Sunset Cruise, Miami Skyline Night Cruise, Miami Skyline Party Cruise, Miami Skyline 90 min Bayside Boat tour, Miami Skyline & Millionaires Row Cruise, Miami Skyline Boat ride, and many more.

Departure Location, Bayside Marketplace behind Victoria's Secret,

7:30 pm - Miami Sunset Cruise

8 pm - Miami Skyline Night Cruise

Miami Skyline Cruises INC wanted to bring something fresh to the industry which means sometimes getting creative adding new tours and changing the names of the Miami boat Cruises because we can't lie, they were a little outdated. For 30 years all people would ask for was the Miami Millionaire's Row Cruise. Not anymore! Welcome Miami Skyline Cruises!

Bayride Tours and Miami Skyline Cruises join forces in 2023

In 2019 Bayride Tours became the largest Miami boat tour company, moving nearly a million passengers a year, there was no denying they were the future. For example, it got to the point that Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays no matter the time of the year, you would not get a ticket because they were sold out by noon.

Then Covid hit! Destroyed the Tourist industry. Everyone was forced to shut down. From Cruise Ships to Disney World, Florida became a gosht town. But not for long. After a few months after reopening, little by little Bayride Tours came back, this time stronger than ever.

Located behind Victoria Secret, they created a sightseeing boating paradise of their own. They did not let restrictions keep them from gaining the title that once they owned, once again becoming the largest Miami Boat tour Company.

Trips like the Miami Skyline Sunset Cruise sell out daily. The cruise departure is at 7:30 pm and it's the first trip of the day to sell out. If you wanna catch the Miami Sunset from the water then we suggest you book your Miami Skyline Sunset Cruise way in advance. Online-only reservations.

The tour was absolutely amazing. The vibes were everything and the crew was energetic. Also, my sister misplaced her driver’s license and the crew turned it into security. We were able to get it with no issues and are planning for a safe return home tomorrow. That kind of customer service is hard to come by and we are greatly appreciative!

I had a great time on the stars boat tour in Miami when I was on vacation with my fiancé in April 2021, the speaker was funny and very informative about the mansions and it was a perfect day would recommend if you go to Miami. Thank you!

Amazing time!

Is it possible to host private events on the Bayride?

Yes, indeed! You can turn the Bayride into your private party boat. Dreaming of celebrating your birthday with more seagulls than guests? Fancy having a corporate event where the only 'board' in sight is the deck of a boat? Or perhaps you want to say 'I do' with dolphins as your witnesses? Whatever floats your boat, we’ve got you covered!

To kick off your sea-rrific event, just shout to the crew at Miami Star Island Cruises. They’re the wizards of the sea when it comes to party planning.

Want a pirate-themed wedding? Arrr, they can do it! A corporate retreat where the only mergers happening are the sky and sea at sunset? Consider it done. A birthday bash where the only thing older than you is the ocean? No problem!

But remember, booking a private event isn’t like summoning a genie from a bottle – you have to contact us . Reach out to Miami Star Island Cruises, where our team is ready to turn your party dreams into a nautical reality.

Whether it’s an elegant soirée or a shindig that would make a sailor blush, we’re on board to make it happen!

So, get ready to set sail on a private cruise where the only rule is to have fun (and maybe not to feed the seagulls – those guys are relentless!). Let’s make your special event as unforgettable as finding a talking fish – except it’s real, and there’s no fish (unless you bring some for lunch).

What's better a City bus Tour or a Miami Boat Tour?

Ah, the age-old Miami question: City Tour or Boat Tour? It's like choosing between a piña colada and a mojito – both are delightful in their own ways! Let’s break it down with a dash of humor:

- Land Ahoy: Perfect for those who prefer to keep their sea legs firmly on dry land.

- The Full Scoop: Get a comprehensive view of Miami’s streets, from the art deco wonders of South Beach to the vibrant murals of Wynwood.

- Celebrity Sidewalks: Walk the same streets as some of your favorite celebrities, minus the paparazzi.

- Traffic Tango: It’s like dancing, but with cars, and everyone’s leading.

- The Heat is On: Miami isn't just hot in terms of its nightlife; the sun’s got some serious game too.

Miami Boat Tour:

- Sea Breezes: Nothing beats the feeling of the wind in your hair and the gentle rock of the waves.

- Dolphin Cameos: If you’re lucky, you might get a wave (or a splash) from Miami’s friendliest locals.

- Waterfront Real Estate: See the homes of the rich and famous from a perspective that makes you feel like one of them (at least until you disembark).

- Missing the Pavement: As magical as the sea is, you won’t get to walk the colorful streets of Little Havana or feel the buzz of Downtown.

Ultimately, the choice between a City Tour and a Miami Boat Tour boils down to what kind of adventure you’re seeking. Want a deep dive into Miami’s urban charm, complete with historical tidbits and a side of street food? Go for the City Tour. Prefer a breezy, scenic experience with a touch of ocean spray and maybe a peek at a celebrity’s backyard? The Boat Tour is calling your name.

Why not both? Start with a City Tour to soak in the local culture and history, then unwind with a Boat Tour, letting the sea carry away any leftover cares. That’s a Miami-style win-win! 🌴🚤🌆

How many boats does Bayride Tours currently operate?

Bayride Tours proudly boasts a fleet of four boats, each with a name that's sure to tickle your nautical funny bone. Let's dive into the whimsical world of these sea-faring beauties:

1. Island Time: She's the laid-back one of the bunch. On Island Time, watches are optional, and 'hurry' is a word best left on land. Here, the only schedule we follow is dictated by the sun and the waves. Perfect for those who believe that a watched pot never boils and a constantly checked clock never leads to fun! The open-air decks are amazing.

2. Island Wind: She's the spirited sibling, always ready to catch the breeze and sail you into an adventure. If Island Time is a leisurely stroll, Island Wind is a joyful dance. She’s all about feeling the wind in your hair and the excitement in your heart. Hold onto your hats, because she’s a breezy ride like all boats.

3. Bay Breeze: Ah, the gentle one! Bay Breeze is like a soothing lullaby on water. She’s the boat version of that cool, refreshing breeze on a warm summer day. Cruising on Bay Breeze is like floating on a cloud, if clouds were buoyant and had comfy seating.

4. Bayride: The namesake and the flagship! Bayride is like the cool cousin of the fleet who knows all the best spots. She’s all about showing you the wonders of Miami from the best seat in the house. With Bayride, it’s not just a tour; it’s a front-row ticket to the aquatic show that is Biscayne Bay.

So, there you have it! A fleet that's ready to sail you away from the mundane. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely escape, a breezy adventure, or a serene float, Bayride Tours has the perfect boat waiting for you. Just remember, on these boats, the only thing we take seriously is fun (and safety, of course!).

The Grand Finale: Why Choosing Bayride Tours is Like Picking the Perfect Mango in Miami

Well, folks, we've navigated through the sun-soaked, wave-kissed, laughter-filled journey that is Bayride Tours and Miami Star Island Cruises. From the charming departure at Bayside Marketplace to the glamorous shores of Star Island, we've seen it all – or have we?

Imagine cruising past the Venetian Islands on Island Time, feeling more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam. Or slicing through the waters on Island Wind, where the only thing faster than the boat is the rate at which your worries disappear.

We've peeked at the Miami skyline, waved at the opulent homes of Star Island (where the rich and famous play hide and seek with their fortunes), and marveled at the twinkling lights during the Miami Evening Star Island Cruise. And let's not forget about the Miami Beach views that look like they've been stolen straight from a postcard.

Bayride Tours offers more than just a Miami Boat Tour; it's a carnival on water. It's where the Miami River whispers tales of the city, where Brickell Key winks at you with urban charm, and where South Beach flaunts its sandy catwalk.

Choosing between a City Tour and a Boat Tour? That’s like asking a dolphin to choose between swimming and... well, more swimming. The solution? Do both and experience Miami in all its land-loving and sea-sprawling glory.

And the best part? It's all just a reservation away. No magical conch shells to call, no secret handshakes – just a simple booking for a boatload of fun. Remember, with prices at $29.99 for adults and $18.99 for kids, it's an adventure that won’t sink your wallet.

In conclusion, if Miami were a fruit salad, Bayride Tours would be the perfectly ripe mango – sweet, juicy, and the bit you look forward to the most. It's not just a tour; it's a memory-making machine, where every snapshot is a story, and every laugh is a souvenir.

So, grab your sunglasses, leave your worries at the dock, and let’s set sail on a journey that's as vibrant, diverse, and full of surprises as Miami itself. Anchors aweigh, my friends, for an adventure that's as unforgettable as finding a talking parrot that knows the lyrics to every Will Smith song. Now, wouldn’t that be something? Julio Iglesias is waiting for you.

• 406BeverlyM 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great transport, very prompt. Our group of 7 had 3 charters while in Miami, 1 from the airport, 1 to the cruise terminal and a full day trip to the Everglades where we had booked a private tour. With time to spare our driver took us to Little Havana before returning to the cruise terminal. Angel was a great driver and very informative. The van was a luxury with plenty of room for the passengers and luggage. Communication with Miami Tour Company was excellent, and the driver was always on time. Highly recommend.

Louis was very organized and Manny was an exceptional bus driver, it was wonderful to let someone else worry about the details so we could just enjoy the day!! It was an early morning and a long day, but so worth it. Thank you for picking us up and arranging for an Uber home. The Uber driver was also great. Another item off the bucket list!!!

• allisonwO1345EZ 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Wouldn’t recommend. I would not recommend. The bus was nice and the travel was easy. There were so many boats in the water. We didn’t see any alligators (and only saw a few birds). But my biggest concern was the roadside zoo located where the alligator show took place. The show exploited alligators and the backyard zoo had animals in deplorable conditions, including a fox in a very small cage and albino alligators in very small enclosures. I was under the impression this was a conservation location, but I don’t like how the animals were treated and I wouldn’t give money to it. Read more Written January 10, 2024

• 535dillonr 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles WORST EXPERIENCE EVER...DONT BOOK WITH THEM! This was the worst experience I have ever had, I was sent a confirmation email the day prior filled with false information about the trip saying our bus would be stopping at a Mcdonald's in Key Largo (It didn't stop there it stopped at a McDonalds in Tavernier) and the number on the email to call if we need help isn't open till after 9 am. We were told to be at the pickup location by 7:15, I texted and called every number provided to us to let them know we would be 2 minutes late, we got there at 7:17 and waited in front of the hotel. The diver took a picture of the door supposedly at 7:22 (while we had still been standing there) and then placed a 5-second phone call to me before driving off. We attempted to board another bus that was going to the same location and got kicked off that bus saying we didn't pay for that one, there was no attempt to help us. We booked a Lyft to Key Largo (The Mcdonald's the bus was supposed to stop at), and this cost us an additional $78. When we arrived we got a call from the driver claiming that he left the Mcdonald's in Tavernier 30 minutes prior. We had then been left with the option to either bail on the entire day or take another Lyft to Key West to meet up with the tour. We booked another Lyft costing $230 this time to get to Key West. Upon arriving the driver sent us on a wild goose chase to meet up with him which we finally did. Once we boarded the boat for the snorkeling trip it got even worse. The entire boat got in the water at the snorkeling spot and got stung by over 100 jellyfish, the crew treated the entire tour very poorly with a "suck it up' attitude on the way back. Once we got back to our hotel I emailed this company only to receive a string of emails from the owner saying I'd have to reach out to Expedia and its not their fault at all, I even pointed out the fact that they never had us sign a liability form either. On top of all of this, they claim to be BBB accredited on their website, but they are not.. clearly. Read more Written September 14, 2023

• Purpletraveler2000 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Top Notch Service-Cruise Terminal Pick Up/Everglades Tour/Biscayne Bay Cruise We booked the private tour of the Everglades and Biscayne bay cruise for Saturday after getting off our cruise. Angel was perfect in all ways. He picked our group up at the cruise terminal in a hightop, sparkling clean van. He loaded all of our luggage in the back. Then we were off to the Everglades. After, we headed back to Bayside Marketplace to board the Miami Lady for a 1.5 hour cruise of Biscayne Bay. We had a little time to look around the Marketplace. Then Angel took us directly to Miami Intl Airport to catch our flight back home. Everything about the day was perfect. Michelle was always quick to respond to any questions I had, even after hours emails i would send she would reply that same evening. Five-star service all around. Thanks so much for taking care of us and providing a great experience. Read more Written July 23, 2023
• NeilCIJ 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Professional and friendly service Over several vacations over the years from United Kingdom to Miami I have used The Miami Tour Company to visit Key West on an open return ticket (booking months ahead on their website) where you are dropped off on one day and picked up several days later e.g. for a long weekend. I have never been let down or disappointed and this year enjoyed an even more professional and personal service from the team, driver Manny and Tour Guide Luis who was very helpful and informative.
