Chasing the sunset off South Beach

The brief is simple: leave the dock at 2400 Collins Avenue, point the bow west, and watch the Miami skyline turn orange, pink and purple in front of the setting sun — champagne included. After a safety briefing from the crew, the shore noise falls away and the bay does the rest; on the way back, the city lights come on over darkening water.

The sunset cruise runs on a 27-foot boat (call them for something bigger), from $450 for 2 hours — with captain, fuel, cooler with ice and water, and Bluetooth sound included. Bring who you want to share it with.
