Plan
What fits in 2 hours
- Sunset cruise: two hours covers golden hour and the skyline lights coming on. See sunset cruises.
- Skyline and Star Island: from Miami Beach, Downtown or Brickell, a loop past the islands and the port fits easily.
- A short sandbar stop: from Haulover the sandbar is close, so two hours gives you about an hour in the water.
Which boat fits: for two hours, a pontoon or small yacht keeps the price down. Large party boats publish 2-hour packages too, for bigger groups. If you want to drive yourself, a few operators rent without a captain.

FAQ
How much is a 2-hour boat rental in Miami?
12 operators on this page publish a 2-hour package with a captain. Range $280–$1,300, median $450. Self-drive and captain-optional prices are listed separately and are not in the range: Boat Rental Miami, Pontoon.Miami and Best Boat Club. Ask whether gratuity, fuel and fees are included.
Can I rent a yacht for just 2 hours?
Yes, with some operators: Rent Boat in Miami, Sea Life Yachts Miami, TALY Yachts, Aqua Party Boat and Boat Rental Miami publish 2-hour yacht prices. Others set a 3- or 4-hour minimum.
Is 2 hours enough for the sandbar?
From Haulover, yes, because the sandbar is close to the inlet. From farther away, most of the time goes on the ride, so book 4 hours.
Is there a boat I can drive myself for 2 hours?
Pontoon.Miami and Best Boat Club publish a 2-hour self-drive pontoon price. See boat rental without a captain for what you need.
