6 Haute Spots to Dock and Dine in Miami

In Miami, where it’s summer all year long, every day is a boat day. Whether you’re cruising around the bay, relaxing at the sandbar, or sunbathing out on the open ocean, boaters all share one common question– What’s for lunch? Here are the 5 Haute spots to dock and dine in the Magic City:

ZUMA

Miami’s renowned downtown Japanese spot, Zuma Miami, is raising the bar even further by expanding its menu to include an ultra-luxe yacht catering service. Yup, that’s right—just when you thought things couldn’t get any more lavish than docking your mega yacht outside the swanky restaurant to enjoy their famous all-you-can eat bottomless brunch, Zuma has outdone itself once again to provide its customers with the most luxurious dining experience possible. Yacht owners can now indulge in complete fine dining without having to step foot on land.

THE DECK at Island Gardens

This brand-new South Beach hotspot is home to some of the world’s finest superyachts, as it is the only marina in North America that can hold yachts up to 550 feet in length. After docking at the prestigious marina, head over to THE DECK at Island Gardens for Sunday brunch. With a mediterranean gourmet buffet, private cabanas and a party going strong into the night, this makes the perfect Sunday Funday spot to dock and dine and scope out the “who’s who” in Miami.

THE STANDARD

For something a bit more zen, dock your yacht at The Standard Spa in Miami Beach and hit the Lido for a waterfront lunch with 4 docking spots on a first come first served base. Each space costs $50 for four hours. With delectable mediterranean food selections, tropical cocktails or detox cleansing juices, you’ll be happily lost in a peaceful oasis all day long. We recommend the char grilled octopus to eat and The Green Prophet to sip.
