Stilt-house eco tour
Guided · Photo stops · Stilt houses · shallow flats
There are wooden houses standing on stilts in the middle of the shallows, and most visitors to Miami never learn they exist. The tour goes out to them and around the flats, with a captain who can tell you what you are looking at, how long it has been there, and why it survived.

What decides the day
Three things we would tell you on the phone before you booked, written down here instead.
Guided throughout — this is a charter where the captain talks.
Photo stops are built into the route rather than squeezed in.
Shallow water means a smaller boat: the Open 23 or another shallow-draft unit.

Which boat suits this
Three units that genuinely work for this day. Tell us the group size and we narrow it to the one that fits — or tell you when none of these is the right answer.

The steadiest deck on the water: shade, space and an easy step into the sea. First choice for a long relaxed sandbar day.
