Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Raccoon Island Miami tour?
- It’s a boat trip from Miami Beach to a calm spot near Raccoon Island Miami, where your captain anchors in shallow water so you can swim, wade, and relax off the boat.
- How long does the tour last?
- Most tours are scheduled for about 3–4 hours from departure to return. Longer charters may be available if you want extra time or an added stop.
- Do I need boating experience?
- No. The tour is captain-led. The captain handles navigation, docking, and anchoring, so you don’t need any experience to enjoy a Raccoon Island Tour Miami.
- What should I bring?
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, swimsuit, towel, water, and light snacks if allowed. A waterproof phone case or dry bag is smart if you plan on taking photos in the water.
- Can kids come on the tour?
- Yes. Families often choose Raccoon Island because the shallow water around the boat is easier for kids, with adults close by. Life jackets are provided and children should be supervised at all times.
- Can we bring alcohol?
- Often, yes, but always confirm with Aquarius when booking. The captain must remain sober, and glass containers may be restricted or discouraged for safety reasons.
- Is wildlife guaranteed?
- No tour can promise wildlife, but many guests do spot fish, coastal birds, and sometimes raccoons along the tree line. Consider it a bonus if it happens.
- What’s the overall vibe?
- More calm than wild. Music is usually at a comfortable volume, people float or stand in the water, and the focus is on relaxation rather than a crowded party scene.
Quick Tips for a Smooth Raccoon Island Day
- Apply sunscreen before boarding and reapply during the tour.
- Bring more water than you think you’ll need — sun and salt both dehydrate.
- Wear sandals or flip-flops that can get wet.
- Keep bags and coolers organized to avoid trip hazards on deck.
- If you care about sunset photos, ask about later departure options.
