There are many different names for the same sightseeing cruise around Biscayne Bay and our Celebrity Homes and Millionaire Mansions Boat Tour is no different. You'll still get a 90-minute cruise around the bay with a full narration by our knowledgeable tour guide. 

Miami Boat Tour

Each Miami boat tour that cruise around Biscayne Bay start at Bayside Marketplace. And this sightseeing cruise will begin at Bayside too. The main difference between each tour is mostly the boat. 

Let us share what you will see during your Miami celebrity homes tour. 

Downtown Miami

The sightseeing tour will leave Bayside and begin its journey around the Biscayne Bay by immediately heading north. The first things you get to see up close is the Virgin Atlantic Cruise terminal on one-side and the American Airlines Arena on the other. 

From this location you will see many cruise ships, luxury yachts, and soaring condos. Just know there are celebrities in them buildings. (You might want to be on the left side of the boat tour here.)

Watson Island

Up next on your boat tour is Watson Island during your journey around the Bay. From this vantage point, you will get to see the famous Venetian Causeway bridge that was once the only bridge to Miami Beach. 

You'll also get to see Watson Island which is home to a few tourist attractions like: Jungle Island and the Miami Children's Museum. This centrally located island also had historic roots of a seafood shop and seaplanes that took off from there. 

Venetian Island

The 7 Venetian Islands of Miami and Miami Beach is where all the celebrities live. And you get to cruise by them all on your journey around the beautiful Biscayne Bay. 

MIami Beach

As you cruise along through the bay feeling the warm ocean breeze, you will see Miami Beach. It's not the Art Deco side of Miami Beach rather it's the condos that soar above Watson Island. Yes, there are celebrities who live there too. 

Fisher Island

The exclusive Fisher Island is next to Miami Beach and will fill part of journey around the Bay. This exclusive island is only accessible by boat, helicopter or ferry. Sorry folks there is no boat tour to here!

It's home to many celebrities who seek out the privacy by not being accessible by anyone. 

Port of Miami

You'll know you've reached the Port of Miami portion of the boat tour by the soaring Gantry Cranes that line the South side of the Port of Miami. These gigantic cranes help to unload the containers filled with imported goods that get sent to Miami from overseas. 

Miami Skyline

The final site on your Miami tour, is the amazing Miami skyline. This incredible site is only growing and becoming more dense year after year. 

This part of the journey is great for photography and you will want to snap a picture. It will be great to compare this photo with future photos as the skyline constantly changes. 

Celebrity Homes Boat Tour

As you join our celebrity homes boat tour you will have the chance to get good seats in order to enjoy the boat ride. It's first come first serve. 

Each boat has seats, tables and amazing views to see the many highlights but it's not just homes you will see. 

Yes, during your celebrity homes cruise our tour guide will point out as many celebrity homes and residents as he can. From Gloria Estefan, P. Diddy, Shaquille O’Neal, Enrique Iglesias, Phil Collins, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Ricky Martin, Matt Damon, Al Capone, and more, will be pointed out along the way. However, we do mention some of these residents are not accurate and have been part of the grapevine shared by the tour guides over the years. 

Nevertheless, there is so much more to see on your boat tour than houses anyways. 

More Than Just Celebrity Homes

Let's talk about the many luxurious yachts that are all over the place. This is where it get's extremely exciting and many times a celebrity sighting is possible. From unique yachts, to mega yachts all of them are all over the bay. Some are parked behind the homes and some are docked at the marinas but they are amazing. 

Besides yachts, there is also amazing wildlife.

Many of our guests have spotted dolphin pods, manatees, pelicans, many species of birds and even crocodiles. That's right crocs. Only the ones who get lost. 

Not Exactly South Beach

We like to share that you don't get to see the best parts of South Beach during your sightseeing cruise. In fact, you will get to see the back side of Miami Beach where the tower condos of West Avenue line up. This is Miami Beach it's just not the Art Deco area. 

Local Tour Guide on each Cruise

You'll be happy to know there is a local tour guide on each celebrity homes boat tour to point out all the important highlights and share which house is home to which celebrity. They are all trained and hired to be as entertaining as possible.

Know, you will enjoy their vast knowledge and funny jokes will keep you interested throughout the boat tour. It's not too much where they talk the entire time...it's just enough. 

Relax on a Miami boat tour departing from Miami Beach Marina in South Beach. Take a seat under the shaded deck onboard as you enjoy a sightseeing cruise and Miami sightseeing by Fisher Island and the busy Port of Miami before heading back toward Downtown Miami. Soak in views of the ever-changing skyline featuring many iconic buildings during the boat ride, including the beautiful downtown Miami skyline.

See the luxurious condos and hotels in Brickell and Brickell Key and enter the mouth of the Miami River. As you sail downtown, glide past celebrity mansions and cruise ships, capturing the stunning downtown Miami skyline. Pass by Hibiscus Island, Palm Island, Star Island, Sunset Island, and the famous Venetian Islands.

Keep an eye out for the homes of Gloria Estefan, P. Diddy, Shaquille O’Neal, Enrique Iglesias, Phil Collins, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Ricky Martin, Matt Damon, Al Capone, and more, as your host points out the famous landmarks.
