Saturdays are the busiest days—particularly the 3–5 PM window when the boats run at near full capacity. Miami's dry season (November through April) offers cooler temperatures and clearer skies, making it an ideal time for on-the-water sightseeing. Summer months are hot and humid with afternoon storm risk, though tours operate year-round.
