There’s a new drive in movie theater on Biscayne Bay: Be sure to bring your boat
We get it. After months of months of quarantine, you want to be entertained.
While options are a little slim amid this relentless pandemic, there are still a few things to do in South Florida.
Believe us when we say we are looking hard to find them, folks.
For movie buffs, a new drive-in theater opened in Fort Lauderdale through July.
And for seafarer types, may we suggest checking into this event: a “boat in” theater. Yes, on the water.
Ballyhoo Media, the folks behind that massive Super Bowl party in Before Times, will host the screening of “Pirates of the Caribbean:The Curse of the Black Pearl,” from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday on Biscayne Bay in front of the old Miami Marine Stadium in Virginia Key.
A double sided, 60-foot-high floating LED screen will show the Johnny Depp classic while you social distance your heart out from your watercraft.
“The concept has become popular all across the world as a fun and safe way for people to enjoy a night out during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said a Ballyhoo spokesperson. “With everyone a little tired of their same old ‘quarantine routine,’ here is a night out with your close friends.”
All boats must abide by so called new normal Miami-Dade county coronavirus guidelines, such as vessels must maintain a 50 foot distance from one another at all times, no rafting and no beaching. Masks while on the boat are not required.
Tickets $50 at boat-inmovies.com, where you can register your vessel as well. Coordinates: 25° 44.672’ N, 80° 10.001’ W. RSVP: Eventbrite
