Experiences
Private sunset cruises in Miami, done properly.
Two and a half hours, one golden sky, and a city that saves its best light for the water.
The format
The sunset cruise is Miami's shortest perfect day. A private sunset cruise with Global Yachts Network is not a seat on a tour boat: it's your own crewed yacht, boarding in the late afternoon and timed — deliberately, by people who watch this sky every evening — so you're anchored with the bow facing west as the light turns. The skyline does the rest. It's the format we recommend for anniversaries, visiting friends you want to impress, and anyone who wants the essential Miami experience without committing a full day. Up to 12 guests, champagne cold, cameras out. The city at golden hour has never once disappointed, and we've been watching for years.

Questions we get
Sunset cruise · FAQ
How long is a sunset cruise?
Most run 2.5–3 hours, boarding about two hours before sunset so the anchor drop and golden hour line up. We time boarding to the season — sunset moves, and so do we.
How much does a private sunset cruise in Miami cost?
From around $2,000–$3,500 on most of the fleet depending on vessel and duration — the same honest starting rates listed on every yacht's page, confirmed personally in one conversation.
What if the sunset is cloudy?
Miami rarely fully cancels a sky — some of the best shows come off broken cloud. If weather genuinely spoils the evening, we'll tell you before you board and help you move the date.
Is it private?
Completely. The yacht, the crew, and the anchorage are yours — never a shared deck, never a tour.
