Fiesta Cruises

Fiesta Cruises has run sightseeing boats out of the Miamarina at Bayside Marketplace since 1995, and it remains family-owned. From Slip 11 on Biscayne Boulevard, two tour boats head out on Biscayne Bay for daytime celebrity-homes cruises past the Star Island mansions, sunset cruises timed to the skyline, and night cruises with the city lights.

Fares start at $25 for the one-hour Twilight Skyline Cruise, with the 1.5-hour celebrity homes and sunset Star Island cruises at $34 per adult.

The 2-hour Sunset Cocktail Cruise is $69 with an open bar, and Friday and Saturday adults-only party cruises include two drinks for $49. Capt.

Jimmy's Tarpon Feeding Experience, a dockside stop where guests hand-feed giant tarpon, is $20 for a bucket of ten fish. A bar sits on board, narration runs in English and Spanish, and holiday fireworks cruises and private charters from $2,000 are also available.

Bayside's restaurants and shops are steps from the dock, so it is easy to eat before or after sailing.
