Anchor once, and stay there
The most-booked plan midweek: waist-deep water over white sand, the floating pool in, and nowhere else to be.
The tide decides, not the calendar
A sandbar is only a sandbar at the right stage of tide. Too high and it's just open water; too low and you can't get near it. The difference between a great day and an average one is usually somebody checking that before you book, not after.
Send us the date you want and we'll tell you what the water is doing that day and what time to aim for. Sometimes that means moving your start by two hours, and it's worth it.
Which boat, and why it matters here
For a sandbar day specifically, the Sea Ray Amberjack 32 is often the right answer — it's open, it's quick to get there, and for four or five people it costs less than putting the big boat on the same patch of water.
The Chris Craft 45 earns its keep on a longer sandbar day, because a bathroom and shade stop being a luxury somewhere around hour four.
What's already on board
The floating pool goes in as soon as we're anchored — it's the thing that turns a stop into an afternoon. Cooler on ice, drinking water, speaker and life jackets in every size are all standard, on all three boats.
Weekends the popular banks fill up and it becomes a social thing, boats rafted three deep and music everywhere. Midweek you can have one almost to yourselves. Both are good days; they're just not the same day, so tell us which one you're after.
The same kit on all three boats
Captain and fuel
Both in the price. You never rent a hull and sort the rest out yourself.
Cooler on ice
Ice and drinking water aboard, with room for whatever you bring.
Floating pool
Goes in the water as soon as we anchor, on all three boats.
Life jackets, every size
Child sizes carried as standard. You never have to ask or bring your own.
Your playlist
Bluetooth speaker aboard. You pick the music and you pick where we stop.
Your own food and cake
Bring the food, the drinks and the balloons. We keep the cake cold until you ask.
Sandbar day questions
Which sandbar do you go to?
It depends on the tide, the wind and the day. Biscayne Bay has several and they are not equally good at the same moment. The captain picks on the day — that judgement is most of what you're paying for.
Is the water shallow enough for kids?
At the right tide it's roughly waist to chest deep on an adult, over firm sand. We anchor so that non-swimmers can stand, and we carry child-size life jackets as standard.
Do you provide floats?
Yes. The floating pool mat goes in the water as soon as we anchor, and it's included on all three boats. You're welcome to bring your own inflatables as well.
Can we meet friends on another boat there?
Yes, and it's common. Tell us in advance and we'll raft alongside them so it's one group rather than two boats shouting across the water.
Pick a day and we'll pick the bank
Which sandbar is worth anchoring at changes with the tide, the wind and the day of the week. That call is the captain's.
Other celebrations
Bachelorette boat party
Up to 13, the whole day photographed, and the bride organising nothing.
Birthday boat rental
Cake kept cold, your playlist, and the engine cut with downtown behind you.
Sunset cruise
Forty good minutes, timed backwards from the sun. The shortest charter we run.
Family boat day
Shade all day, child-size life jackets as standard, and nobody in a hurry.
Skyline & photos
Star Island, the big houses, and the hour the light lands on the city.
Corporate days at sea
Up to 13, booked with the captain, invoiced properly, no event agency in the middle.
Large groups
Too many people for one boat? All three go out together and raft up at the sandbar.
Romantic evenings at sea
The whole boat for two, the cockpit table, and a captain who stays out of the photographs.
Ash scattering at sea
A private boat past the three-mile line, and as long as you need once the engine is off.
