Boating Destinations from Miami: Biscayne Bay, Stiltsville & Beyond
Where members go from Crandon Marina — skyline cruises, Stiltsville, Virginia Key and the protected waters of Biscayne National Park.
From our docks at Crandon Marina on Key Biscayne, the best of Miami’s water is minutes away. Here’s the short list members return to all year.
Biscayne Bay
Sail across crystal-clear waters for an up-close look at Miami’s stunning skyline. Snorkel near the shallow reefs, drop anchor for a serene swim, or bring the paddleboards — the bay’s calm pockets are ideal for them. The bay is also a hotspot for marine wildlife: dolphins, manatees and a long list of bird species.
Miami Beach & South Beach
Experience the energy of Miami Beach by boat. Cruise past Art Deco landmarks or anchor near the bustling South Beach shoreline and join the scene from the water side — no parking required.
Stiltsville
A journey to these historic wooden stilt homes on the flats of Biscayne Bay feels like stepping back in time. Perfect for photographers, Stiltsville offers a perspective on Miami’s maritime culture you simply can’t get from land.
Key Biscayne & Virginia Key
Ideal for those seeking tranquility: family-friendly beaches, Crandon Park’s lagoon, and the protected waters of Biscayne National Park. Neighboring Virginia Key is a hidden gem — secluded beaches, watersports rentals and eco-tours.
The Miami River
Idle up the river past the city’s working waterfront to dining spots like Seaspice and Kiki on the River — arrive by boat and the evening starts before you dock.
Go with the club
Every one of these runs starts at the Miami Boat Club at Crandon Marina, where the boat is cleaned, prepped and waiting. New to these waters? Every membership includes on-the-water training. See plans from $199/month or book a tour.
