What the map shows

• Celebrity mansions along Star Island, Palm & Hibiscus Islands & Fisher Island—homes owned by A-listers and local legends alike.
• Skyline views of Downtown Miami, Brickell, and Miami Beach—daylight and sunset drama alike.
• Iconic landmarks like the Port of Miami, Venetian Islands, South Beach, even Stiltsville.
• Waterway routes so you know where you’ll glide, where waves might bump you, and where the best photo ops are.

Fun facts & weird stories

• Star Island was created in 1922 by dredging, which means it isn’t “natural” but manmade—and became home to Miami’s most exclusive estates.
• Did you know Rosie O’Donnell’s former Star Island home is listed for ~$54 million? It once sold for much less, and its history includes surprising tidbits (including, yes, a hammerhead shark mounted above a staircase at one point).
• Fisher Island, nearby, has roots involving some of America’s early 20th-century wealth—from Vanderbilt to inventors and entrepreneurs.

Helpful tips using the map

• Aim for a golden-hour sunset cruise (late afternoon) for magical light and fewer glare issues when taking photos.
• Ask the crew what side of the boat is best to see the sights.
