Booking a ticket for the Miami Water Taxi is the best way to get between Miami Beach and Bayside Marketplace. The trip only takes 30 minutes!

How does the Miami Water Taxi work?

Looking for the most fun way to get between downtown Miami and Miami Beach? Once you have your Water Taxi ticket, you’ll enjoy a roughly 30-minute ride through Biscayne Bay while taking in unique views of the “Magic City’s” most iconic landmarks.

During the booking process, you can choose your departure point, and depending on the direction of your trip, you’ll enjoy different views aboard the Miami Water Taxi.

If you’re traveling from Bayside to South Beach, you’ll cruise past the luxurious residences of Hibiscus, Palm, Star, and Sunset Islands, as well as the famous Venetian Islands. Get your camera ready to spot celebrity homes!

On the other hand, if you take the reverse route, that is, from South Beach to Bayside, you’ll pass by exclusive Fisher Island, the vibrant Port of Miami, and the modern skyscrapers of Brickell Key at the mouth of the Miami River.

On both routes, you’ll witness panoramic views of the third-tallest skyline in the United States, a collection of over 300 buildings that create a unique vista from the water.

When booking, you can choose from the following options based on your preferences:

  • One-way from Bayside to South Beach
  • One-way from South Beach to Bayside
