Meridian 42: Miami’s short- and long-form boat outing for skyline runs and island dips.
Bruschi Boat Rental’s Meridian 42 offers Miami excursions that split two ways: a compact, scenic two-hour run past the mansions of Millionaire Row or out to Key Biscayne for waterfront skyline views, and a longer four-hour option that adds time to anchor at a picturesque island and get in the water.
