Beautiful Views and Great Vibe, but the Ticketing Process Needs an Update
We booked the sunset cruise for our family of four, and the time on the water was fantastic. Our teenagers loved being out on the bay, and the overall vibe was great. I was worried it would be packed, but the boat wasn't overly crowded at all. There was a nice amount of people, but we had plenty of room to spread out and didn't feel like anyone was right on top of us.
The only frustrating part of this experience is the outdated ticketing process at Bayside Marketplace. Even if you purchase your tickets online, the company requires you to arrive at least 45 minutes early just to exchange your digital voucher for a physical paper ticket. It was a bit cumbersome and confusing at first. In 2026, an online purchase should just send a digital pass directly to an Apple or Google Wallet to scan at the gate.
Once we got past the ticket booth, the actual boarding process was very easy. The cruise itself is beautiful, relaxing, and a great way to see the Miami skyline. I would definitely recommend it to other families ... just make sure you factor in that extra 45 minutes to get your paper tickets printed!

My Amazing Sightseeing Cruise
The Millionaire’s Row sightseeing cruise was a really enjoyable way to see Miami from the water. The ride was smooth, the views around Biscayne Bay were beautiful, and the guide kept things interesting with stories about the celebrity homes and the islands. It had a relaxed vibe the whole time — not rushed, not overcrowded — just a calm, scenic cruise where you can sit back and enjoy the skyline and the breeze. A simple, fun experience that shows off Miami in a really nice way.

Great cruise. Sketchy sales pitch
The tour was about 90 mins long and you get to see quite a bit. The inside seating was nice with the ac. The guide was great. Lots of information and was very entertaining. Drinks were pricey but no different than any place around that area. The seats were comfortable.
The only issue, during the cruise they say they have a raffle to win a prize. And the prize is a free vacation. They target specific people and try to talk you into coming to a two hour sales pitch. They were very pushy to get you to agree to come to their sales pitch. They offered to pay for an uber ride. It sounded sketchy so we said no and they moved on to the next people.
Operator response
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the cruise, our knowledgeable tour guide, and the comfortable seating. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the vacation raffle. The promotion is offered by a third-party partner and is completely optional, but we're sorry to hear you felt the approach was too pushy. We'll be sure to share your comments with our partner. Thank you for sailing with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

OMG, best tour ever! Jesse’s playlist is 🔥
We booked this on a whim to wrap up our girls’ weekend, and it was so much fun. The tour was great, the music was on point, the drinks were good, and the whole staff was friendly.
FYI: If you “win” the raffle, it’s basically a timeshare presentation- but everyone was nice and there was no pressure.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun way to see Miami from the water.

Relaxing ride
We did this trip as part of an overall tour of Miami highlights. It was relaxing and enjoyable. The boat was clean and well maintained. The narrator was helpful.
The homes and the yachts are amazing to see. Skip the raffle - it's just for generating timeshare sales.

Lifestyles of the Miami’s rich & famous
The Island Queen Millionaire’s Row Boat Tour is a fantastic experience and a true highlight when visiting Miami. The boat is very clean and comfortable, and the entire operation is seamlessly well organized. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating insights throughout the journey.
The route itself is awe-inspiring, passing stunning waterfront homes and beautiful scenery. The 90 minutes fly by so quickly that you hardly realize how time passes. It’s relaxing, informative, and visually spectacular all at once. A traveler’s must-do in Miami and an easy 5-star getter!
