Miami Open 2027 and a day on the water

Mar 14–28, 2027 (subject to change)Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens

Can a boat do this?

No: Hard Rock Stadium is inland and no boat goes there. Here’s what a boat adds: a sandbar day off between sessions, from Haulover, the closest departure area.

The 2027 Miami Open runs March 14–28 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens; the tournament lists those dates as subject to change (miamiopen.com). The stadium is inland, so a boat doesn’t get you to the tennis. It does make a good day off between sessions.
