sandbar days

Miami sandbar boat rental

Anchor in clear, shallow water, swim from a floating mat and let the captain handle the rest.

A Miami sandbar day means anchoring in shallow, turquoise water on Biscayne Bay and swimming straight off the boat. Every Sea Life yacht carries a floating mat, and routes from Key Biscayne reach Nixon Sandbar, Stiltsville and Virginia Key, with the captain choosing the safest spot on the day.

Stiltsville sits inside Biscayne National Park, so park rules apply when visiting.
