About Bayride Tours

Bayride Tours runs 90-minute sightseeing cruises out of Bayside Marketplace in Downtown Miami, with the ticket kiosk at the north end directly behind Victoria's Secret. The signature Mansions of Miami Beach cruise covers Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline, the Port of Miami, Fisher Island and the waterfront estates of Miami Beach, with guides narrating in English and Spanish.

Guests can ride in the climate-controlled main level or the open-air top deck, and each vessel has two restrooms and a full bar with light snacks. Guests describe a lively ride: music on board, a host who plays DJ, strong drinks and a raffle.

Departures run roughly hourly from late morning through early evening, so sunset and night sailings are both possible. Online prices start around $18 per adult through partner platforms.

The company has operated for more than 11 years from Bayside Marketplace and MiaMarina, and the wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot make boarding straightforward for most visitors.
