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.
Inclusions vary between yachts. Your charter will normally include use of the yacht and the required captain and crew, while fuel, refreshments, catering and water toys may either be included or charged separately. We will confirm the exact inclusions before you book.
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.
Most yacht bookings require a deposit or payment to secure the yacht and date. The amount and payment schedule vary by yacht operator and charter type. Full booking terms will be provided before payment.
Booking early gives you the greatest choice of yachts, particularly for weekends, holidays and major Miami events. Last-minute availability is sometimes possible, but popular yachts and peak dates can book well in advance.
Yes, subject to yacht and crew availability. If you are booking at short notice, send us your date, preferred time and group size and we can check which yachts are still available.
Many Miami yacht charters are booked for four, six or eight hours. Overnight, weekend and multi-day charters are also available on selected yachts. The best duration depends on your route and how much time you want for swimming, dining and relaxing onboard.
Yes, many yachts offer four-hour charters. This can work well for a private cruise around Biscayne Bay, swimming, sightseeing from the yacht or a sunset charter.
Yes. A six-hour charter gives you more time to combine cruising, swimming, lunch and time at anchor without committing to a full day.
Yes. Full-day charters are ideal if you want a more relaxed itinerary with plenty of time for swimming, lunch, water toys and exploring different parts of Biscayne Bay and the Miami coastline.
Selected yachts offer overnight accommodation. Availability depends on the yacht, cabin configuration, crew arrangements and your planned itinerary, so overnight charters should be discussed in advance.
Yes, selected yachts are available for multi-day charters. These can range from a long weekend to a week or more and may include destinations outside Miami depending on the yacht and itinerary.
Yes. Weekend yacht charters are available on suitable yachts and can be planned around Miami, the Florida Keys or longer cruising itineraries where practical.
Weekly yacht rentals are available on selected vessels. Longer charters require more detailed planning around accommodation, crew, provisioning, fuel and itinerary.
Private Miami yacht rentals are generally operated by a professional captain, with additional crew provided where required by the yacht. We will confirm the crew arrangements for every yacht before booking.
Not when you are booking a professionally crewed charter and are joining as a guest. The yacht is operated by its captain and crew, so you do not personally need to navigate the vessel.
The captain is responsible for navigation and safe operation of the yacht. Depending on the vessel, additional crew may assist with service, food and drinks, water activities, docking and your overall onboard experience.
Guest capacity varies considerably between yachts and must follow the licensed capacity of the individual vessel. Tell us your total number of guests and we will only recommend yachts suitable for your group.
Yes. Larger groups may require a yacht licensed for higher passenger numbers or, in some cases, more than one yacht. Let us know your group size and we can recommend suitable options.
Yes, many Miami yacht charters are suitable for families with children. The best yacht will depend on the ages of the children, facilities onboard and the type of charter you are planning.
Babies can join selected yacht charters, but it is important to tell us their age when you inquire. This allows us to confirm suitable yacht options and the relevant onboard safety arrangements.
Safety equipment varies by yacht. If you are traveling with infants or younger children, provide their ages when you inquire so the appropriate arrangements can be confirmed with the yacht operator.
Most yachts allow guests to bring food onboard, although individual yacht policies vary. Some yachts also offer catering or provisioning services if you would prefer everything arranged in advance.
Alcohol may be permitted on many private yacht charters, subject to the rules of the individual yacht. We will confirm what can be brought onboard when you choose your vessel.
Yes, catering can be arranged on selected Miami yachts. Options can range from light snacks and platters to more substantial meals depending on the yacht and your requirements.
Private chef experiences are available on selected luxury yachts. If this is important to your charter, let us know when you inquire so we can recommend yachts that can accommodate the service.
Most larger yachts have onboard bathrooms, although facilities vary by vessel. If a bathroom is essential for your group, particularly for a family or longer charter, we can make this a priority when recommending yachts.
Many luxury motor yachts have cabins and air-conditioned interior areas. Smaller day yachts may have more limited interior facilities, so check the individual yacht specification before booking.
Many yachts have Bluetooth or onboard sound systems that allow guests to play their own music. The exact setup varies between yachts and can be confirmed before your charter.
Useful items include swimwear, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and any personal medication you may need. Depending on the yacht, you may also want a change of clothes and personal items for swimming or an overnight stay.
Water toys vary between yachts. Selected vessels may include snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, floating mats, inflatables, SeaBobs or other equipment. Some toys are included while others may cost extra.
Yes, selected Miami yacht charters can include or arrange jet skis. Availability depends on the yacht, location and operating requirements, so tell us if a jet ski is an important part of your charter.
Yes, swimming is a popular part of many Miami yacht charters. Your captain will choose suitable locations based on your route, yacht and conditions on the day.
Yes, snorkeling may be possible during suitable charters. Equipment is available on selected yachts, so let us know in advance if snorkeling is something you would like to include.
Popular cruising areas include Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Star Island, the Venetian Islands and Miami’s sandbars. Longer charters can explore further depending on the yacht and available time.
Yes, private charters offer much more flexibility than shared boating experiences. Your preferred route can be discussed with the captain, although the final itinerary depends on charter duration, yacht capabilities, weather and local operating conditions.
Yes. Biscayne Bay is one of the main cruising areas for private Miami yacht charters and works well for sightseeing, swimming, sunset charters and relaxed days on the water.
Yes, these areas can be incorporated into many Biscayne Bay itineraries. They are particularly popular for guests wanting to combine Miami skyline views with some of the city’s best-known waterfront neighborhoods.
Yes, Key Biscayne can be included in many private yacht itineraries. The exact route and available swimming or anchoring locations depend on your yacht, departure point and conditions.

Yes. Many yacht charters cruise around Miami Beach and the surrounding waterways as part of a wider Biscayne Bay itinerary.
Yes, selected yachts can undertake charters from Miami to the Bahamas. These trips require more planning than a local Miami charter and depend on the yacht, weather, charter duration and entry requirements.
Yes, Bimini is a popular destination for suitable multi-day charters from Miami. The trip must be planned around the yacht’s capabilities, weather and the required travel documentation.
