Whenever we travel to a city surrounded by water—be it an island, a coastline, or a bay—you can bet one of the first things on our vacation checklist is getting on the water. There’s just something magical about seeing a city from a new angle, feeling the breeze in your hair, and escaping the traffic for turquoise waves and salty air. On our recent trip to Miami, we checked off one of the most exhilarating and fun-filled boat rides we’ve ever had: the Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventure—and let me tell you, it was a blast!

The moment we pulled up to Bayside Marketplace and saw the sleek Thriller boat docked and ready, we knew we were in for something special. There’s a certain energy in Miami—the music, the colors, the heat—and Thriller captures it all in a 45-minute joyride across Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic. This isn’t your average boat tour. Oh no. This is like if a sightseeing cruise had a baby with a James Bond movie chase scene. Cue the music, hold onto your sunglasses, and get ready to fly across the water at 40+ mph!

As we zoomed past the downtown skyline and out into the bay, the breeze was downright refreshing—a welcome break from the Miami heat. There’s nothing quite like wind-whipped hair and ocean spray to make you feel alive. Our guide was not only hilarious, but also packed with the best kind of celebrity gossip—Miami edition. We got the inside scoop on all the jaw-dropping real estate that lines the shores of Star Island, Hibiscus Island, and Fisher Island.

Now let’s talk about the real showstoppers: the homes of the rich and famous. From pop stars and athletes to moguls and movie stars, this tour delivers the glitziest front-row seat to the ultimate Miami lifestyle. We were giddy spotting the luxurious digs of David and Victoria Beckham—a private waterfront mansion, a mega yacht fit for royalty, and a sleek, sky-high penthouse that had us all wondering if we could suddenly manifest some Premier League talent.

We were laughing, pointing, snapping photos, and just soaking in the moment. As a couple, it was such a blast to have that mix of adventure, sightseeing, and fun. But I couldn’t help but think how much our teens (and even little ones back in the day) would have loved this too. The Thriller boat has enough speed and splash to keep thrill-seekers happy, while still being totally family-friendly. There’s music pumping, Miami Vice vibes, and a sense of excitement that appeals to all ages.

Whether you’re planning a couple’s getaway, a girls’ trip, or a full-on family vacation, Thriller Miami should absolutely be on your itinerary. This high-speed, high-glamour, high-fun experience gives you the best views, the juiciest stories, and the most unforgettable memories.

Miami sparkles from the water, and seeing it all from a speedboat was so much fun. So grab your sunscreen, channel your inner rockstar, and buckle up—because the waves are calling, and Thriller is ready to take you for a ride you won’t forget.
