Speedboats, catamarans, motor yachts and mega yachts — all with a USCG-licensed captain included. Biscayne Bay, Haulover Sandbar, Star Island and Key Biscayne. Book direct, reply in 30 minutes.
The biggest mistake first-time bookers make: choosing by aesthetics instead of matching vessel to group size and activity. Here is the honest breakdown.
Best for small groups, sandbar hopping, and quick Biscayne Bay runs. Fast, agile, minimal shade. Bring sunscreen. Not ideal for events or groups over 12.
Stable, wide deck, great for swimming and snorkeling. Best for large groups who want to move around. Slower than a motor yacht but far more spacious per dollar.
The most-booked type for Miami private charters. Covered deck, speed, and comfort. Fits birthdays, corporate events, bachelor/bachelorette parties. Best all-around choice.
80–90 ft vessels with full crew, multiple decks, and luxury amenities. For weddings, VIP corporate events, and groups that need maximum space and impact.
Wind-powered option for guests who want the sailing experience. Best November–April when trade winds blow consistently. Slower, quieter, unique atmosphere.
Flat, open platform. Great for families, casual groups, and budget-conscious bookings. Limited speed and range — ideal for Haulover Sandbar or calm bay areas only.
All rates include USCG-licensed captain and fuel for standard Biscayne Bay routes. No platform fees added.

GetMyBoat and Boatsetter add 18–22% service fees on top of the listed vessel price. On a $2,500 catamaran half-day, that is an extra $450–$550 per booking paid to the platform — not to the captain or vessel owner. Nauty 360 charges zero platform fees: the quoted price is the final price.
We analyzed Nauty 360's Miami booking data across Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 to identify the most common mistakes and patterns among first-time and repeat charter clients.
| Pattern | What Happens | How to Avoid It |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong vessel size | Groups of 20 book a 12-person speedboat, then ask to add guests day-of | Count confirmed attendees, add 20% buffer, then pick vessel |
| Peak Saturday with 3 days notice | Fully booked — clients end up on a shared tour they didn't want | Book 2–3 weeks ahead Nov–Apr; Tuesday–Thursday any time |
| Undisclosed platform fee surprise | Budget planned at $2,500; checkout shows $3,050 after fees | Ask upfront: "Is this the final price including all fees?" |
| Haulover Sandbar arrived at 2pm Saturday | Anchorage full, captain redirects to Nixon Sandbar | Depart by 10am on weekends for prime Haulover position |
| Gratuity not budgeted | Groups of 20 expected to split $400 tip on the spot, nobody has cash | Budget 15–20% of charter fee, bring cash or ask ahead |
