July charters: beat the heat on a Miami sunset cruise
July in Miami is hot — 90 degree afternoons are normal — which is why 60 percent of our July bookings are 5-8 PM sunset cruises rather than full-day trips. Water is at its warmest of the year (86 degrees), and the Fourth of July weekend is the single busiest date on the calendar. Book hurricane-season flex pricing with zero-fee reschedules if the tropics kick up.
