Blog Post - July 20, 2024
We went on a speedboat tour with Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventures.
We booked our tickets at ThrillerMiami.com. I am not affiliated with them. We just really had a great time on this speedboat ride.
It left from the Bayside Marketplace and took us along the skyline of Miami over to Star Island to see the houses of the rich and famous, over to the pier at South Beach, and back to the marina at Bayside.
When you get to Bayside, you'll find there's lots of shopping. In the middle you'll find Pier 5.
Facing Pier 5 you'll make a right and walk down to the yellow booth to get checked in.
If you get to the Hard Rock Cafe and Ferris Wheel you've gone to far.
We checked in at the yellow booth and then waited under the umbrellas in the shade to get on the boat. When we got on the boat it was first come first served and we were able to get a seat in the very front.
We put on our seat belts and then the boat started heading out of the marina to the open water.
As we left the marina we could see the amazing skyline of Miami.
As we hit the open water, we started to hit really fast speeds on our way over to Star Island.
We drove around Star Island as our tour guide explained who lived in which house. It was cool to see some of these amazing properties and yachts.
After touring around Star Island via boat, we headed over to the South Pointe Park Pier on South Beach.
As we got to the pier we made a hard turn, which was really fun and started heading to back. On our way back our speedboat drive went really fast and did a few donuts in the boat. This was really fun!
We then headed back to the marina at Bayside. We saw another Thriller boat going out while we were going in.
After we docked, we unbuckled and got off the boat. They did have a picture service available for purchase, but we had recorded everything so we didn't buy it.
After we got off the boat we spent another few hours exploring Bayside and shopped.
Overall, we had a really fun time and this was a great way to see Miami, Star Island, and the pier at South Beach.
We would highly recommend doing this speedboat ride on your next trip to Miami.
