When we were on a mooring at Rickenbacker Marina, there was an ultralight place right next to us at the end of the causeway. They did instruction and they have ultralights for sale (new or used)

15 hours of instruction costs $1820 prepaid. Their website says

The Ultralight Pilot License (ACS Aerodynamic Control Sea) issued through the USUA, takes approximately two weeks to complete, weather permitting, requiring 15 hours of ultralight flight. Within that time frame you will be given instruction in basic ultralight water handling including, plow, and step taxi procedures. The student will then start Basic Air Maneuvers, flying the ultralight aircraft straight level, "S" turns, climbs and descents, using power, collision avoidance through an effective scan, slow flight, and stall.

Equipment: They also do tours. Any one route is $70, two combined routes is $90, up to all 5 routes for $180

Routes
A Bayside / Cruise Ship Row / Star Island
B South Beach / Fisher Island / Virginia Key
C Key Biscayne - Lighthouse / Stiltsville
D Dinner Key / Coconut Grove / Vizcaya
E Brickell / Brickell Key / Downtown /
