Enjoy Learning about Miami History from a New Perspective!

 

Local historian Stella Ross will take you back in time on this voyage across Biscayne Bay, down the Miami River, and out to storied Stiltsville on a classic yacht.
Coconut Grove’s early non-indigenous pioneers including Ralph Munroe (The Commodore), discovered the tropical beauty of the Grove when they sailed down from the cities of the Northeast and Midwest. You will see Munroe’s original home “The Barnacle” and learn about his family and their contributions to the development of the area. As you cruise past tour highlights, Stella will tell stories about the history of Vizcaya, Peacock Park, Dinner Key, Brickell, the Tequesta & Seminole Indians, Stiltsville and so much more!
This is a small group tour for 10 guests. A casual lunch will be provided and you are welcome to bring your own favorite beverages. We will anchor and have lunch near Stiltsville, where you can take a swim!
