What a yacht rental in Miami looks like

In Miami, 'renting a yacht' almost always means a crewed charter. You book the yacht for a set number of hours, meet the captain at the marina, and the crew handles everything from undocking to anchoring. You and your guests decide how the day feels: a slow cruise past Star Island and the Venetian Islands, a long swim stop at a sandbar, lunch at anchor, or a run along the Miami Beach coastline.

Choosing the right yacht

Start with the number of guests and the kind of day you want. Smaller groups who want speed and a sandbar afternoon are well served by a sport yacht or express cruiser. Groups who want shade, a flybridge and room to move around tend to choose a motor yacht or luxury yacht. For milestone occasions or longer trips, a superyacht puts several decks and a full crew at your disposal. Families and mixed groups often prefer a catamaran for its stability.

How long to book for

Four hours is enough for a cruise and one stop. Six hours lets you add a proper swim and lunch at anchor without rushing. Eight hours or a full day suits groups who want to stay at the sandbar, add jet skis, and come back in at sunset. Multi-day charters usually head south toward the Florida Keys or across to the Bahamas, depending on the weather and the yacht.

Why we only rent new, modern yachts

The yacht is the centrepiece of the day, so we only charter new, modern yachts kept in excellent condition. No tired upholstery, no faded gelcoat. If a yacht doesn't meet that standard, we don't offer it.
