About this experience
Let's go Sailing!
Experience Miami's Biscayne Bay aboard one of Destino Charters Beneteau stylish vessels in the company of experienced, but mostly fun, well traveled, passionate captains.
A Private Sailing tour aboard Destino Charters vessels on the Miami Bay (called Biscayne Bay) is a unique experience. The perfect combination of unobstructed oceanic winds and lake like shoals makes this the perfect place to check sailing off your bucket list, or even better, introduce you to this wonderful sport/leisure activity!
Marine life abounds and it is not unusual to spot dolphins, rays, turtles and other sea life. The sophisticated shoreline of the bay, with the Miami Skyline to the West and Key Biscayne to the East are the perfect backdrop for incredible pictures to share with friends and family.

Itinerary and highlights
A glamorous Island off the coast of Miami, Key Biscayne has some landmarks like President Nixon vacation home, the Bill Baggs Lighthouse and No Name Harbor. Anchoring and swimming are a good option in this area.
Off the South of Key Biscayne is this unique sight of Stilt vacation homes built in different times in the 1900s. Reminiscent of the Prohibition and post WWII eras of the intricate history of Miami.
Miami has developed into a big, modern city and its ever changing sophisticated skyline is wonderful by day or night. We will pass under the Rickenbacker Bridge that connects Virginia Key and Key Biscayne to Miami and approach Brickell, the Miami River and Downtown, with vistas of Miami's waterfront, the Port and Fisher Island.
On either side of the Rickenbacker bridge there are good anchorage areas where you can go for a swim, paddleboard or just relax and enjoy the amazing vistas of the city from the bay. In the meantime, we will barbecue some mean skirt steaks*, or teach you some paddle boarding techniques*. A 4 hour charter will allow for this.
Want to snorkel on a Reef near Miami? a 5 and up hours, good weather conditions and departure at or before 10AM will allow us to include this fascinating experience in your Private Charter.
Elliott Key, in Biscayne National Park, Florida is the largest key in the park and is the northernmost of the true Florida Keys. It's located east of Homestead, Florida. Elliott Key is popular for boating adventures. The Elliott Key Sandbar, or Sands cut, is one of Miami's most popular boating attractions, but is big enough to let us stay away from crowds and loud unpleasant music. It is a great area for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding and sunbathing on deck.
Please note that Elliott Key is 18 Nautical Miles South of our departure at Coconut Grove, so allow for an 8 hour experience to include this option.
