DOWNTOWN MIAMI & BRICKELL
Ready, set, gooo! Boating around Miami aboard Midnight Sun Charters boat ORO is the most unforgettable way to see the “Magic City”, this international hub full of fun and excitement. The skyline you fell in love with watching Miami Vice awaits via Biscayne Bay, the waterway that begins where the Inter-coastal Waterway ends. Miami is situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, and is protected by the barrier island of Miami Beach and connected by hundreds of miles of waterways. Government Cut, a man-made shipping channel, is home to the port and the cruise industry, with numerous cruise ships on display getting ready for their daily sails to the Caribbean and beyond. The Cut is also a great way to access Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Palm & Star Islands, the Venetian Islands, and the mid and north beach sections of Miami Beach. Fun fact, accessible only by ferry or boat, Fisher Island is an oasis of exclusive luxury estates said to be the highest valued real estate in the US.
Cruise by the busy Port of Miami with its views of cranes loading container ships, and then north along South Beach, the mega-entertainment district famous for its beach, glitzy restaurants, people watching and nightlife. Continue navigating north under the MacArthur Causeway, and you’ll soon realize why you need your camera. Palm Island, Star Island, Hibiscus Island, and the Venetian Islands come into view, offering stunning visions of waterfront mansions belonging to celebrities and millionaires. Other attractions not to be missed in downtown Miami include the American Airlines Arena, the famous Bayside Marketplace with its exclusive shopping and restaurants, and Bayfront Park. Near Brickell Key you’ll cruise by skyscrapers and high rise buildings in the Financial District that help give Miami’s skyline its flair.
Linked to Downtown Miami by Brickell Avenue at the mouth of the Miami River is Brickell Key, where you’ll see some of the most upscale residential real estate in the world. A triangular-shaped man-made private island, Brickell Key hosts luxury condominiums for business people who enjoy the proximity to the Financial District of Miami. You’ll be floored as you look up at these skyskrapers jutting out of the water as you pass by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The circumnavigation of Brickell Key is always a fun way to enjoy the spectacular Miami waterfront.
