The hull cuts through Biscayne Bay as the skyline shifts from business gray to a bruised orange-pink; the captain eases back and conversations loosen. On this 3-hour private charter aboard a custom 23-foot Formula Thunderbird, passengers sit close to the water and far from the city’s pace, watching light bend off glass towers while the bay seems to push them gently west.

Bring layered clothing
Even in Miami, temperatures drop after sunset and a light windbreaker will keep you comfortable on deck.
