SAT | Miami Marine Stadium Boat Tour

This boat tour runs three times during the Symposium and lasts approximately 2 1/2 hours. Guests may choose from two itineraries, both of which provide an in-depth discussion and the best views of Miami Marine Stadium. Tour boats have a restroom and cover.
 

Designed in the 1960s by Cuban-American architect Hilario Candela, the Stadium was originally built as a venue to host powerboat races. The landmark brutalist structure became a hub for cultural performance and other gatherings from the time construction finished in 1963 until its closing in 1992 following the devastation of Hurricane Andrew. The building has sat vacant for almost thirty years, and restoration projects have come and gone. Thanks to strong local and national preservation efforts, it still stands, and there is hope the most recent restoration proposal will move forward. Docomomo US included Miami Marine on its list of the 11 most threatened Modern sites.
 

Choose from two itineraries: 
Tour 1: Miami Marine Stadium: views of the Miami Skyline, the Port of Miami, and Biscayne Bay
Tour 2: Miami Marine Stadium and Stiltsville: a grouping of preserved wood stilt houses originally built during the prohibition era and used for a variety of purposes throughout their history
