You will have plenty of boats and bikinis to look at but they just won't be I/O stuff......

Then prepare for disappointment lol.

15th street has mega yachts right there but i don't think i have ever seen a i/o powerboat there. Honestly anytime i have been in that area i don't think i have seen even 1 running around on the water.

Still lots a beautiful boats, women, and mega yachts though that will keep your eyes wondering.

Head down to haulover sandbar. Still some performance boats around. 15th street has docking on the inside if yachts are on the outside pier. Out of season..you won't have a problem docking.

Plus the big yachts parked there block the view

Monty's at the south beach marina is a great place to boat if you want to go outside to Miami. Then Gilberts in the Keys and Alabama Jacks. Put a few miles on the boat. Shooters is nice again as well if you want to head North. No more bikini contests on Sundays like the old days but good food and drinks.

All great ideas. we are staying at Pier 66 Hyatt so on the water for "taxi rides". When y'all were talking about Houston, I thought you were talking about "Houston", or places over here. Two weeks ago here in Kemah, boats were piled 2 - 3 deep. Might try Houston's in Ft. just for nostalgia.

Earlier this year I saw what looked like a 40+ Skater cat and Fountain Vee at Bayside Shops in downtown Miami. Didn't enjoy the public 420 2nd hand smoke in the area though.

Still planning to do a Miami Heat game and stay overnight (on the boat) in the Bayside Marina. Transient slip fee is actually very reasonable.
