Biscayne Lady is a double-hull catamaran passenger vessel registered in Miami, Florida. The boat was built by Austal USA shipbuilders in 2002. Home-docked at Bayside Marina, Biscayne Lady is a venue for private event charters.[4] The yacht operates from most major marinas in South Florida.[5]

Biscayne Lady Yacht Charters consists of Biscayne Lady and one sister vessel named Venetian Lady.[6] The company is a subsidiary of Island Queen Cruises & Tours which owns and operates several smaller sightseeing vessels, also home-docked within Bayside Marina.[7]

In October 2018, Miami-Dade police conducted a full-scale active shooter drill onboard Biscayne Lady.[8]
