Read the full experience

The boat eases away from Bayfront Park as the city begins to light up; salt air tugs at your hair while the skyline unfolds like a moving set. On this 75‑minute party cruise, the vessel becomes a floating nightclub — a band of dancers, a DJ booth, and a cash bar cutting a path past high‑rise mansions and neon façades along Biscayne Bay.

Adventure tips

Bring ID for the barThe cash bar requires government photo ID for alcohol purchases — carry it in a secure pocket on deck.

Arrive early to boardPlan to be at Bayfront Park Dock 1 at least 20–30 minutes before departure to avoid crowds and allow time for check‑in.

Secure loose itemsWind and movement make sunglasses, hats, and phones easy to lose; use a lanyard or zippered pocket.

Consider motion‑sickness remediesIf you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative measures — ginger, acupressure bands, or medication can help.

Recommended gear

Government photo ID: Required for alcohol purchases at the cash bar and may be checked at boarding.
Comfortable, closed‑toe shoes: Provides grip on moving decks and protects feet during boarding and disembarkation.
Light windbreaker: Blocks the bay breeze once the sun goes down; useful in spring and winter evenings.
