Two hours is the shortest private trip most Miami operators sell. It suits a sunset cruise, a quick look at the skyline and Star Island, or a first try before booking a longer day. It is usually too short to travel far, so pick a departure area close to what you want to see.

Plan
What fits in 2 hours
- Sunset cruise: two hours covers golden hour and the skyline lights coming on. See sunset cruises.
- Skyline and Star Island: from Miami Beach, Downtown or Brickell, a loop past the islands and the port fits easily.
- A short sandbar stop: from Haulover the sandbar is close, so two hours gives you about an hour in the water.
Which boat fits: for two hours, a pontoon or small yacht keeps the price down. Large party boats publish 2-hour packages too, for bigger groups. If you want to drive yourself, a few operators rent without a captain.
