The cost of a yacht charter in Miami depends on the yacht, charter duration, date, group size and any additional services you choose. Smaller day yachts and shorter charters will generally cost less than larger luxury yachts, full-day bookings and overnight charters. Contact us with your preferred date and number of guests and we can provide suitable options and exact pricing.

Full-day yacht rental prices vary considerably depending on the size and specification of the yacht. Fuel, crew, catering, water toys and your chosen route can also affect the final price. We can compare available yachts based on your budget and plans for the day.

The main factors are yacht size, charter duration, date, guest numbers, route and any additional services. Catering, private chefs, jet skis, water toys and longer cruising distances may also affect the overall cost.

This depends on the yacht and the route you choose. Some charters include a fuel allowance, while others calculate fuel separately based on your itinerary. We will make this clear when presenting your yacht options.

Private yacht charters are operated by the captain and any crew required for the vessel. Whether the crew cost is included within the advertised charter price or shown separately varies between yachts, so we will confirm the full pricing before you book.

Crew gratuity is not always included in the quoted charter price. If gratuity is additional, we will explain this before booking so you know what to expect on charter day.
