The annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF 2027, late February) brings celebrity chefs, sommeliers, and foodies from around the world to Miami. While beachside grand tastings are unforgettable, taking your culinary celebration onto the water provides the ultimate private VIP experience.
1. Gourmet BYOB Dining Floating on Biscayne Bay
Private charters to Sandspur Island feature a 100% BYOB (Bring Your Own Beverage & Food) policy. Pack artisanal cheeses, fresh local seafood platters, craft cocktails, or fine wines to enjoy aboard your private vessel.
Captains provide large coolers packed with ice, Bluetooth speakers for your favorite ambient playlists, and spacious deck seating under sunny 76°F (24°C) winter skies.
2. Raccoon Beach Wading & Sandbar Relaxation
Anchor off Sandspur Island to wade in clear turquoise waters and meet the island's famous raccoons. Follow up your island visit with a floating lounge session on giant water lily pad mats at Haulover Sandbar.
What to Pack for Your BYOB Boat Charter
Bring non-glass wine tumblers or insulated metal flasks, pre-sliced gourmet snacks, sunscreen, and towels. Captains handle all navigation, anchor placement, and safety gear.
