Private Sunset Cruise in Miami
Golden hour on Biscayne Bay from your own yacht — skyline views, Star Island lights and a crew that handles everything. Private charters from $899 for 4 hours.
Miami's best view is from the water
From land you watch the sunset. From the deck of your own yacht you're inside it — the sky going gold behind the Brickell towers, Star Island silhouetted, and nobody else's playlist within earshot. A private sunset cruise with Miami Yacht Collective is exactly that: your group only, a licensed captain and crew handling the water, and the city putting on its nightly show.
It's the charter we recommend for couples, anniversaries, proposals and small celebrations that deserve something quieter than a party boat — though plenty of groups bolt the sunset onto the end of a full yacht party afternoon.

How the evening unfolds
- Before golden hour: board on the Miami River and cruise into Biscayne Bay while the light is still warm — time enough to anchor and swim if you'd like.
- Golden hour: your captain positions the yacht on open water facing the skyline as the sun drops. This is the stretch people book the charter for.
- Blue hour: the city lights come on. The ride home past illuminated Star Island and the downtown glow is the quiet highlight nobody expects.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a private sunset cruise in Miami cost?
Charters start at $899 for 4 hours on the 46' Maxum, which comfortably covers a golden-hour cruise with time to anchor and swim first. Larger yachts run $1,200–$3,000 for 4 hours — every rate is on the price guide, captain and crew always included.
Is this a shared tour or a private boat?
Fully private. Unlike ticketed sunset tours, the yacht carries only your group — ideal for date nights, proposals, anniversaries or a small circle of friends.
What route does the sunset cruise take?
Your captain times the run so you're on open Biscayne Bay water as the sun drops behind the skyline — typically cruising past Star Island and Fisher Island first, with the city lights coming on for the ride home.
Can I propose on board?
Sunset charters are our most-booked proposal setting. Tell us the plan when you book at (787) 664-5040 and the crew will help you time the moment — and stay out of the shot.
