Visit the famous Sandspur Island in Miami 

Discover one of South Florida’s most unique adventures with Baymingo’s private boat tour to Raccoon Island (Sandspur Island / Beer Can Island). Departing from either Fort Lauderdale (5 hours) or Hollywood (3 hours), this experience is perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a mix of wildlife, relaxation, and fun on the water.

As you cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway, admire the breathtaking mansions and luxurious yachts that line the shoreline. Once you arrive at Raccoon Island the highlight of the trip you’ll be greeted by the island’s famously friendly raccoons. Curious and surprisingly gentle, they’re the highlight of this unforgettable trip (please note: feeding is not allowed).

Depending on the time spent on the island, your captain may also take you to the lively Haulover Sandbar, where you can swim in turquoise waters, relax on floating mats, and soak in the festive atmosphere.

Along the way, keep your eyes open for playful dolphins and, from November to March, the gentle manatees that frequent these waters.

The boat tour is scheduled to stay about 1 hour at Raccoon Island. 

Every Baymingo boat rental is private and always with a licensed captain, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a safe, stress-free experience. The captain’s fee is paid separately on the day of your tour (details provided at checkout).

As the sun sets, come back with the sunset and immerse yourself in the total beauty of South Florida.

✨ Whether you choose the 5-hour private boat tour from Fort Lauderdale or the 3-hour private boat rental from Hollywood, your Raccoon Island adventure promises laughter, discovery, and lasting memories on the water.

Rented a 3hr tour with Bamingo and our captain was Franco, let me tell you it was one of the best 3hrs my family has spent together! He was so professional, experienced and went the extra mile making sure my children from 22-5 all felt special in their own way. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish! This is a must and I will definitely do it again, & gotta be Franco!!!

I 100% recommend the boat tour with Baymingo Boat. Captain Manny makes the trip very enjoyable; my family had a great time. We watched the sunset while listening to some of the area's history. Thanks Manny.

Had a wonderful time with Captain Justin. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the area. The canal tour was very cool. Lots of recommendations for restaurants and bars on the water from the Captain. Saw manatees, tarpons and cormorants. Great day! Highly recommend Capt. Justin - he is the best!
