And it was a great tour.\u00a0 Island Queen Cruises was the only tour boat available and it was causing commotion.\u00a0 A tour that took you around the famous, still famous islands, of Miami where very prominent people lived, like Al Capone and Elizabeth Taylor just to mention a couple.\u00a0 Can you imagine that Al Capone\u2019s home still has a little fort in front of it so that his snipers had a place to stay and be on the lookout? Lol. This was a real treat when the locals got to go around Miami\u2019s highest end Millionaire\u2019s Row and do it by being on the water.\u00a0 It really was the only way to see this and still is.\u00a0 The word started to get out and more and more people came.\u00a0 And then, the locals started to bring their out of town visitors.\u00a0 One boat wasn\u2019t going to cut it anymore.\u00a0 The second boat was introduced.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we currently have a fleet of 10 vessels that are operational if needed so that we can accommodate anyone that comes our way.\u00a0 If you visit, we want to take you out.\u00a0 It also continues being a family owned business.\u00a0 You can feel that non-corporate wholesome family vibe with each tour that takes place.\u00a0 We are now a staple of the community.\u00a0 Not only the local community but also the international community that visits Miami.\u00a0 Our repeat guests just keeps coming and coming and it\u2019s always a treat for new comers.\u00a0 Definitely a must do in Miami.\u00a0 But now, we have had to take some serious action to make sure that we keep all of our visitors and employees safe.\u00a0 And we will make it safe again.<\/p>\n<p>One very recommended and doable option is to go out with your own friends and family.\u00a0 If you gather a group, no matter the size, we will be able to provide you with a clean, well maintained vessel with a professional crew and your own private narrator.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t even have to be a large group.\u00a0 We can host 4-5 people and all the way up to 400 in one vessel.\u00a0 However, for the purposes of this recommendation, we will stick to the smaller groups.\u00a0 Groups that can be just your immediately family or extended family with trusted friends.\u00a0 You can have a private tour, with only your guests and this way minimize any risks of pandemic behaviors.\u00a0 You can choose to bring food and drinks or we can provide some options for you but this is a great alternative to be able to go out and do something different and do it with your own peace of mind.\u00a0 Might actually be one of the better things to do since you will avoid outsiders.<\/p>\n<p>Take it even further.\u00a0 Not only will you have the chance to do your own private version of the Millionaire\u2019s Row Cruise tour, but you can extend a few hours, and have some fun in the sun.\u00a0 Why not, you\u2019re already out there.\u00a0 Go to a sand bar, or visit Stiltsville (original Bahamian homes that are standing on Stilts in the middle of the water) or go up the river.\u00a0 There are a number of routes and things to do that you can take advantage of.\u00a0 You won\u2019t find pricing for any of this online.\u00a0 We want you to give us a call, feel our family environment, <a href=\"https:\/\/islandqueencruises.com\/contact\/\">speak to an actual person<\/a>, no recordings here, and let us give you the information you need tailored to exactly what you want.\u00a0 And the pricing is very reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>We want to formally invite you to come and take the cruise again, for the first time, privately however you choose but come.\u00a0 I promise, you will love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public cruises.\u00a0 One might ask themselves how is this is going to be possible again after everything we have gone through.
