June in Miami: summer boating season is here — book early
June opens hurricane season on paper, but the first-half of the month is statistically quiet and water temps sit at 83 to 85 degrees — our favorite combo for half-day snorkel trips out to Stiltsville. Weekends book out 2 to 3 weeks ahead; school-out Fridays are the sneakily best single day to charter. Captains watch the tropics and reschedule at zero cost.
