About Island Queen Cruises & Tours

Island Queen Cruises & Tours is a boat tour and sightseeing operator based at Bayside Marketplace in Downtown Miami, offering narrated cruises across Biscayne Bay. The signature Millionaire's Row Sightseeing Cruise takes visitors past waterfront mansions once home to celebrities, alongside panoramic views of the Miami skyline.

Beyond boat tours, the company also books hop-on-hop-off bus tours, Everglades excursions, sunset cruises past Vizcaya, parasailing, and ferry service to Bimini in the Bahamas. Guides share local history and point out landmarks throughout the journey.

Cruises typically run one to two hours, with tickets starting around $35 per adult. Boats depart directly from the Bayside Marketplace docks, making it an easy add-on for anyone already exploring Downtown Miami's shops and restaurants.

With thousands of guests taking these tours each year, it remains one of the most accessible ways to see the city from the water, whether visiting for an afternoon or planning a full day around the bay.
