More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the marina dock into warm salt air, the yacht idling like a patient island while the bay stretches turquoise and restless around you. The crew unties lines and hands you a stiff, inflatable board; the water seems to dare you forward as the city skyline recedes and mangrove islands rise from the shimmer.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Biscayne Bay contains sensitive seagrass and coral—use biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen and reapply frequently when paddling.
Use footwear for the dock
Non-slip water shoes make boarding and short beach exits safer, especially when stepping from yacht to board or in shallow mangrove flats.
Hydrate and pace your paddle
Plan for 2.5–4 hours on the board depending on route; drink water and rest at the yacht if wind picks up, as currents can increase effort.
Respect wildlife and no-anchor zones
Follow your guide’s instructions around seagrass beds and marked preservation areas to avoid harming habitats and local species.
