A full day is usually 6 to 8 hours. It gives you time for things a half day can’t fit: two sandbars, lunch at a waterfront restaurant, or a run south to the islands of Biscayne National Park. This page shows the 8-hour prices operators publish, what an hourly rate adds up to over 8 hours, and the boats that fit a long day.

Best-fit operators for a full day

5 picks from the 13 operators listed above.

Plan

What a full day adds

  • Two anchorages: a morning at one sandbar and an afternoon at another, for example Haulover and Nixon.
  • Lunch on the water: some captains dock at a waterfront restaurant; ask when you book.
  • South Biscayne Bay: Boca Chita and Elliott Key in Biscayne National Park are a long way from Miami Beach, so they suit a full day. See Biscayne National Park boat tours.
  • Bimini: a day trip to the Bahamas needs a full day, the right boat and passports. See Bimini trips.

Which boat fits: on a long day, shade, a bathroom and room to move matter more. A larger yacht or catamaran is the usual pick for groups. A center console suits a small group that wants to cover distance.

Tips

Before you book

  • Ask for the full-day price directly. It can differ from the hourly rate.
  • Ask whether fuel is included: a long route uses more of it.
  • Ask about food: can you bring your own, is there catering, or does the captain stop at a restaurant?
  • For Bimini, ask about passports, customs and how weather affects the crossing.
  • Ask whether gratuity and fees are in the price.
