The boat slips away from the marina as the city lights tilt and the bay answers with a cool, salt-tinged breath. Onboard, an upbeat DJ threads through the crowd while Biscayne Bay dares you to pick the best view: South Beach’s shoreline, Brickell’s towers, or the glow above Fisher Island. The boat’s rail becomes a front-row seat to a metropolitan pyrotechnic display, waves glinting like echoes of each burst.
