Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of North Miami Beach is that these two iconic spots are right next to each other. You can spend the morning kayaking or paddleboarding in the calm mangroves of Oleta River and the afternoon partying in the turquoise shallows of the Haulover Sandbar.
In 2026, North Miami Beach offers some of the best variety in the region: Pontoons and Deck Boats average $100–$250 per hour; Sport Cruisers range from $150 to $400 per hour; and Luxury Motor Yachts for up to 12 guests typically start at $350–$1,200+ per hour including a captain. Expect to spend between $900 and $5,000 for a full-day private experience depending on the yacht's size and 2026 amenities.
The 'North Miami Essential' is a trip to the Haulover Sandbar, a waist-deep social hub just minutes away. You should also explore the winding mangrove trails of Oleta River State Park, cruise past the upscale estates of Eastern Shores, and enjoy a scenic run through the Bakers Haulover Inlet for a view of the Atlantic coastline.
The waters near North Miami Beach are famous for the Haulover Inlet, which can be one of the most dangerous and high-traffic inlets in Florida due to strong tidal currents. A USCG-licensed captain (often included in the price or available for $50–$100/hr) manages these conditions and understands the strict 'no-wake' zones, ensuring you can relax while they handle the anchoring in the crowded sandbar.
The primary hub is the Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park (located right on the Intracoastal). Other popular spots include Maule Lake, Sunny Isles Marina, and various private residential docks along the Oleta River or the Intracoastal Waterway that offer a more quiet and exclusive boarding experience.
Most rentals are BYOB, which is convenient given the proximity to local markets. However, the area is a 'Dock-and-Dine' favorite. You can have your captain pull up to Duffy’s Waterfront or Houston’s on the canal. For 2026, many luxury yachts on Sailo also offer catering add-ons featuring fresh sushi or local Floribbean platters if requested 48 hours in advance.
If you book a captained rental, you do not need any license. For bareboat (self-drive) rentals, Florida law requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, to have a Boating Safety Education ID Card. Visitors can quickly obtain a 90-day temporary certificate online, which is valid for all 2026 rentals.
For standard local cruises (Sandbar, Oleta River, or nearby canal tours), fuel is frequently included in the total price for captained charters. For full-day motorboat charters or high-speed runs to Miami Beach or Fort Lauderdale, fuel is typically charged based on consumption at the end of the trip (the 'full-to-full' policy).
Standard private '6-pack' charters are limited to 6 guests, while larger luxury '12-pack' yachts allow up to 12 (sometimes 13). For larger celebrations like a corporate event or a wedding party, the North Miami area has access to Inspected Passenger Vessels available on Sailo that can carry up to 40 or 50+ guests.
Safety is the priority. If the captain determines that conditions (like high winds from the inlet or lightning) make it unsafe to sail, your Sailo host will work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund. Because much of North Miami Beach's boating is in the protected Intracoastal and Oleta River, trips can often proceed even if the open ocean is too choppy.
