Where to EatMonument Island is one of Miami’s most iconic boating destinations—a small, palm-lined island nestled in the heart of Biscayne Bay and accessible only by water. Anchoring just offshore, guests are greeted by calm, shallow waters and sweeping views of the downtown skyline, creating a perfect balance between natural beauty and urban energy. At the center of the island stands the historic Flagler Memorial, a striking monument that adds a sense of heritage and character to this otherwise laid-back escape.
The island’s beach-like shoreline invites guests to step off the yacht and into warm, clear water, ideal for swimming, wading, or simply floating under the Florida sun. Monument Island is a favorite stop for yacht charters because it offers a relaxed, social atmosphere without feeling crowded or rushed. Music drifts across the bay, laughter carries over the water, and the gentle sway of anchored boats sets the tone for an easygoing afternoon.
Whether visited during a leisurely daytime cruise or as part of a sunset journey, Monument Island delivers a uniquely Miami experience. It’s a place where guests can unwind, enjoy drinks on deck, take photos against the skyline, and soak in the vibrant boating culture that defines Biscayne Bay. For many, a stop at Monument Island becomes a highlight of the charter—simple, scenic, and unforgettable.
