Meridian 42: Two hours around Millionaire Row or a longer run to Key Biscayne and island anchorages.
Meridian 42 is a sightseeing boat operated by Bruschi Boat Rental in Miami that lets you choose a concise, two-hour circuit—either a cruise past the mansions of Millionaire Row or a skyline-facing run to Key Biscayne—or extend the day to four to six hours to anchor off a nearby island and get in the water.

Millionaire Row: Waterfront Mansions Up Close
The two-hour option can focus on a scenic loop around Miami’s famed Millionaire Row, bringing the waterfront estates and their waterfront lifestyles into clear view from the water.
Skyline Approach from Key Biscayne
Alternatively the 2-hour outing can head toward Key Biscayne for a skyline-oriented perspective—near the Rusty Pelican—where the boat may anchor briefly to let riders take in the cityline from the water.
Longer Runs and Island Anchor Time
Choose a 4–6 hour charter to extend the day: these longer trips include stops that allow the boat to anchor at a beautiful island and give passengers time in the water.
