If there’s a boating capital of the world, it’s Miami. From the crystal-clear waters of Biscayne Bay to the legendary sandbars of Haulover and the deep blue Gulf Stream just offshore, South Florida offers one of the most diverse and exciting boating environments anywhere in the country. At Sundance Marine in Miami, we help boaters make the most of it all.
Explore Biscayne Bay
Biscayne Bay is the heart of Miami boating. Protected waters make it ideal for cruising, watersports, and relaxing family days on the water. Popular destinations include:
Haulover Sandbar – A vibrant social hotspot where boaters gather on weekends.
Nixon Sandbar – Perfect for anchoring and enjoying shallow turquoise water.
Stiltsville – Historic wooden houses standing over the bay, offering a uniquely Miami backdrop.
For this environment, versatile center consoles and dual consoles shine. They offer the flexibility to fish in the morning, cruise at sunset, and entertain at the sandbar—all in one day.
Offshore Fishing
Just Minutes Away One of Miami’s biggest advantages is proximity to the Gulf Stream. Within just a few miles offshore, anglers can target mahi-mahi, sailfish, tuna, and wahoo. That means less travel time and more time fishing.
Serious offshore boaters look for:
Deep-V hull designs for smooth rides
Ample livewell capacity
Advanced electronics and radar
Twin or triple outboard power for performance and safety
Sundance Marine works with boaters to match the right platform to their fishing style—whether that’s weekend tournament runs or family-friendly offshore adventures.
Luxury Cruising & Waterfront Dining
Miami boating isn’t just about fishing. It’s also about lifestyle. Dock-and-dine at waterfront restaurants, cruise along Star Island, or enjoy a sunset run with the city skyline as your backdrop. Comfortable seating, premium sound systems, and spacious layouts make modern boats perfect for entertaining.
Whether you’re new to boating or upgrading to your next vessel, working with a knowledgeable local dealership makes all the difference. From selecting the right boat to understanding local waters, regulations, and marina options, having experienced guidance helps ensure you maximize your time on the water.
