The engine's rumble drops into the bay like a dare as the boat cuts away from Dinner Key Marina, spraying sunlight across Biscayne Bay. Skyscrapers reel past on one horizon while mangrove fringes and low keys tuck the other, and for 20–25 minutes the city’s coastal edge is a corridor of speed and skyline.
