🌴 Top 5 Miami Events You Must Experience by Yacht in 2025–2026
Oct
There’s Miami… and then there’s Miami by yacht — and once you experience the city from the water during its most iconic events, you’ll never go back. Imagine anchoring near the biggest music stages in the world, sipping champagne with fireworks overhead, or hosting a black-tie celebration just steps from the art world’s hottest parties.
Here’s how Yachts MiamiVice turns the city’s five most legendary events into unforgettable luxury experiences — complete with unique itineraries, VIP extras, and insider moments that only happen on the water.
🏁 1. Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix — May 2025
The Miami Grand Prix isn’t just a race — it’s a full-blown luxury festival. While thousands pack into the stands, our clients enjoy the thrill from the deck of a private yacht, champagne in hand, skyline in view.
Your Yacht Experience:
We’ll cruise along Biscayne Bay and anchor close to Downtown Miami, where the energy of the F1 weekend spills over into the waterfront. From your yacht’s deck, you’ll enjoy live race coverage on big screens, gourmet bites prepared by your private chef, and jet-ski rides between sessions. When the engines quiet, we’ll host a sunset cocktail party with a live DJ, and then cruise past celebrity-packed mansions and private after-parties along the bay.
VIP Extras:
🥂 Champagne & caviar service • 🚁 Helicopter arrival coordination • 📸 Drone video of your yacht party • 🎧 Live DJ onboard
🎨 2. Art Basel Miami Beach — December 2025
Art Basel is where the world’s tastemakers come to see and be seen — and arriving by yacht instantly makes you part of the inner circle.
Your Yacht Experience:
We’ll start with a scenic cruise past Fisher Island and the Port of Miami before anchoring near South Beach or Downtown, just minutes from the most exclusive exhibitions and gallery events. Your yacht can transform into a floating gallery — complete with curated art pieces, champagne receptions, and elegant dinners under the stars. As the sun sets, we’ll pull up close to dockside parties and let you host your own Art Basel soirée onboard, surrounded by Miami’s glittering skyline.
VIP Extras:
🍽️ Private chef tasting menu • 🎨 Pop-up art installation onboard • 🚐 Luxury Sprinter transport to on-land exhibitions • 🪩 Themed yacht décor for private art parties
🎶 3. Ultra Music Festival — March 2026
Ultra is one of the most electrifying music events in the world — and there’s no more iconic way to experience it than on a yacht anchored near the main stage.
Your Yacht Experience:
We’ll sail into Biscayne Bay and drop anchor just offshore from Bayfront Park, where the festival’s legendary DJs perform. From the comfort of your yacht’s sun deck, you’ll feel the bass reverberate across the water and see the lights and lasers dance above the skyline — all without the crowds. Guests can swim, sip cocktails, and dance on deck while the music plays around them. When the sets finish, we’ll glide through the illuminated city for a private after-party cruise under the stars.
VIP Extras:
🎤 Live DJ onboard • 🍹 Open bar with professional mixologist • 🛶 Jet skis & water toys during the day • 📷 Drone & video recap of your Ultra yacht experience
🎆 4. Fourth of July Fireworks — July 4, 2026
There’s nothing more magical than celebrating America’s birthday from the water — surrounded by friends, music, and the most stunning fireworks display in Florida.
Your Yacht Experience:
We’ll depart from Venetian or Miami Beach Marina and cruise the bay, passing Millionaire’s Row and the sparkling skyline before anchoring near Bayfront Park or South Beach. As the sky darkens, you’ll enjoy a gourmet BBQ or private chef menu on deck while fireworks burst all around you — lighting up the water and reflecting off the skyscrapers. After the show, we’ll continue the night with a moonlit party cruise through the city’s most iconic waterfronts.
VIP Extras:
🍔 Private BBQ or luxury dinner service • 🧨 Custom fireworks show (on select yachts) • 🥳 Themed yacht décor and entertainment • 🎤 Live music or acoustic performance

Your Yacht Experience:
We’ll begin with a sunset cruise past Star Island, Fisher Island, and the Miami skyline before anchoring near Bayfront Park — the epicenter of Miami’s New Year’s celebrations. You’ll enjoy a black-tie yacht party complete with champagne towers, gourmet dining, and live entertainment. As midnight approaches, the skyline erupts in fireworks, and you’ll toast to the new year under a sky full of light. The celebration continues with a moonlit cruise through Biscayne Bay — the perfect start to the year ahead.
