Discover Miami from the water with a private yacht charter experience tailored around your group, plans and preferred way to spend the day. From relaxing day yacht charters across Biscayne Bay to sunset cruises, sandbar days, family experiences and yachts with jet skis and water toys, Miami offers countless ways to enjoy your time on the water.
For guests looking for something longer, selected yachts are also available for overnight and multi-day yacht charters, opening up opportunities to spend several days onboard and explore beyond Miami. Whether you are planning a few hours on the water or a complete luxury yacht vacation, our team can help you find the right yacht and build an experience around you.
No two yacht charters need to be the same.
Some guests want to spend the day cruising through Biscayne Bay and seeing Miami from the water. Others would rather anchor, swim, enjoy water toys and spend most of the charter relaxing with friends or family.
You may be celebrating an important occasion, looking for somewhere private to spend time together or simply want to make a yacht charter one of the highlights of your time in Miami.
Your experience can be planned around factors including:
Tell us what you have in mind and we can help you compare Miami yachts suited to the experience you want.
A Miami day yacht charter is one of the best ways to experience the city from the water.
Choose a four, six or eight-hour private charter and spend the day cruising through Biscayne Bay, taking in views of Downtown Miami, Brickell and Miami Beach.
Depending on your charter duration, your itinerary could also include Star Island, the Venetian Islands, Key Biscayne and time at anchor for swimming and relaxing.
A day yacht charter gives you the flexibility to decide how much time you want to spend cruising and how much you want to spend enjoying the yacht itself.
For a shorter experience, four hours can provide plenty of time to enjoy Miami from the water. A six or eight-hour charter gives you greater flexibility for swimming, lunch, water toys and a more relaxed itinerary.
Watch Miami change from day to night with a private sunset yacht charter.
Cruise through Biscayne Bay during the late afternoon, relax onboard with your group and enjoy sunset before returning towards the illuminated Miami skyline.
A private sunset yacht charter can work particularly well for couples, anniversaries, proposals and romantic occasions, but it is equally suited to families and groups of friends looking for a more relaxed evening on the water.
Depending on your chosen yacht, drinks, catering and other hospitality services may also be available.
For guests who want to combine daytime swimming with sunset, a longer charter starting earlier in the afternoon can provide the best of both experiences.
Spend less time cruising and more time in the water with a private Miami sandbar yacht charter.
Sandbar experiences typically combine a cruise through Miami’s waterways with an extended stop at a suitable anchoring location where your yacht becomes your private base for the day.
Haulover Sandbar and Nixon Sandbar are two popular options, with the most suitable destination depending on your yacht, departure point and the type of atmosphere you are looking for.
Once anchored, spend the day swimming, relaxing around the yacht, enjoying music and using the available water toys.
A sandbar yacht charter can work particularly well for groups who want a social day on the water as well as families looking for plenty of opportunities to swim and relax.
For a more active day, choose a yacht charter with jet skis and water toys.
Selected Miami yachts may offer equipment including:
The exact equipment varies between yachts.
Some water toys are included within the charter price, while others can be arranged as optional extras.
If jet skis or a particular water toy are an important part of your experience, tell us before choosing your yacht so we can focus on vessels that can provide what you are looking for.
A private family yacht charter gives you the freedom to plan the day around your own group rather than follow a fixed schedule.
Families can cruise through Biscayne Bay, stop for a swim, enjoy lunch onboard and spend time together away from the busiest parts of Miami.
When choosing a family-friendly yacht, practical features can be just as important as yacht size.
Depending on your family’s needs, you may want to consider:
A shorter charter can work well for families with younger children, while six or eight hours gives older children and teenagers more time for swimming and activities.
If you are traveling with babies or young children, let us know their ages when you inquire so appropriate yacht options and arrangements can be considered.
If you would prefer more of your experience to be arranged before you arrive, an all-inclusive yacht charter may be suitable.
The meaning of all-inclusive varies between yachts, so it is important to understand exactly what is provided within each package.
Depending on your chosen yacht, services may include or be available to arrange such as:
Rather than assuming that every yacht includes the same services, our team can help you compare the complete charter options and understand what is included before you book.
This can be particularly useful for birthdays, celebrations, family days and groups who want food, drinks and activities organized in advance.
A yacht experience does not have to end when the sun goes down.
Selected yachts are available for overnight stays, allowing you to spend the afternoon and evening on the water before sleeping onboard in private cabin accommodation.
An overnight yacht charter can combine daytime cruising, swimming and relaxing with sunset, dining and an evening onboard.
Wake up the following morning on the yacht and enjoy another few hours on the water before returning.
Cabin arrangements and overnight capacity vary considerably between yachts, so the number of guests sleeping onboard is an important part of choosing the right vessel.
Overnight charters can work well for couples, families and guests who want something more substantial than a standard day charter without committing to a longer yacht vacation.
For the complete yacht experience, selected yachts can be chartered for several days or longer.
A multi-day yacht charter gives you time to make the yacht part of your vacation rather than simply an activity during your stay.
Three-day yacht charters, weekend yacht charters and weekly yacht rentals can all be considered depending on your chosen vessel and itinerary.
Spend mornings waking up onboard, days swimming and exploring and evenings relaxing with your group before continuing to another destination.
Longer yacht charters may also provide opportunities to travel beyond Miami.
Depending on the yacht, charter duration, weather and required arrangements, itineraries could potentially extend towards:
If you are planning a longer yacht vacation, tell us your intended destinations from the outset so we can help identify yachts suited to the itinerary.
A private yacht can create a memorable setting for almost any occasion.
Miami yacht charters can be planned for:
The right yacht will depend on the occasion and the atmosphere you want to create.
A couple planning an anniversary may prefer a smaller private yacht and sunset itinerary, while a larger group celebrating a birthday may want spacious outdoor areas, music and plenty of room around the water.
Additional services such as catering, drinks, decorations, private chefs and water toys may also be available with selected yachts.
Food can be as simple or as important a part of your yacht experience as you want it to be.
Depending on the yacht, you may be able to bring food onboard, arrange catering or choose additional hospitality services.
Selected yachts may offer:
Longer day charters provide more time to incorporate lunch without rushing your itinerary, while overnight and multi-day yachts may offer more substantial dining facilities.
If dining is a major part of your plans, tell us when you inquire so we can consider the yacht’s galley, dining space and available hospitality services.
The best yacht experience depends on what you actually want from your time on the water.
If sightseeing from the yacht and exploring Biscayne Bay are priorities, a Miami day yacht charter may be the best place to start.
If you want to spend most of your time swimming and relaxing at anchor, consider a sandbar charter.
For water sports and activities, look for a yacht with jet skis and water toys.
Couples and smaller groups may prefer a sunset yacht charter, while families can choose yachts based around practical features such as shade, indoor space and easy water access.
If one day is not enough, an overnight or multi-day yacht charter can extend the experience into a complete luxury escape.
There is no single yacht or package that is right for everyone, which is why we focus on understanding your group and plans before helping you compare the available options.
Miami yacht charters are available for different durations depending on the individual yacht.
A four-hour charter works well for a shorter experience around Biscayne Bay, sunset cruise or focused swimming stop.
Six hours provides more time to balance cruising with swimming, water toys and lunch.
An eight-hour or full-day yacht charter gives you the most flexibility, allowing you to spend longer at anchor, explore further and enjoy the yacht without constantly watching the time.
For overnight and multi-day experiences, charter arrangements are based around the yacht, number of nights and proposed itinerary.
Miami offers much more than one type of yacht experience.
Spend the day exploring Biscayne Bay, anchor at a sandbar, take to the water on a jet ski, enjoy sunset with someone special or stay onboard for several days and turn your yacht charter into part of your vacation.
The experience can be as relaxed, active or luxurious as you want it to be.
Our team can help you compare suitable yachts, charter durations, routes and additional services to create a private Miami yacht experience planned around your group.
