Miami is the only US city where yacht charters are basically a public utility — there are more crewed-yacht options operating out of Miami Beach Marina alone than in most entire countries. A private yacht charter here is less about luxury access and more about logistics: with 4-hour minimum charters as the norm, you can do a sunset Biscayne Bay loop after work, or a full-day to Stiltsville with the family on a Saturday. Either way, the boat shows up clean and crewed.
The Miami fleet skews toward big sport yachts (60-80ft Sea Rays, Azimuts, Sunseekers) and a smaller superyacht segment (100ft+) that runs $8,500-$15,000+/day. Most charters depart from Miami Beach Marina (south end of South Beach), Sea Isle Marina (downtown), or Bayside (closer to Brickell). All three are within ten minutes of South Beach hotels by car or rideshare.
Pricing in Miami is the highest of our Caribbean network — closer to Mediterranean rates than Latin American ones. The premium reflects USCG insurance requirements, dockage costs, and the fact that Miami yachts run year-round (no off-season). What you get for it: predictable infrastructure, professional crew, and immediate access to one of the most photographed yacht backdrops in the Western Hemisphere.
Four signature Miami yacht routes — each works with a different vessel size and time block.
4 hours from Miami Beach Marina. Cruise past Star Island and Hibiscus Island mansions, anchor in mid-Biscayne Bay for swimming. Sunset version is the most-booked option.
1 hour south to the historic stilt houses in Biscayne Bay National Park. Anchor for lunch, swim, and explore. Quieter than the bay — feels like a different city.
30 minutes south. Anchor at the Sandbar with the Miami party fleet on weekends — floating bar scene with hundreds of yachts. Best on Saturdays in season.
2-3 hours along the Miami Beach shoreline as the sun sets behind the skyline. Champagne aboard, music, photographer add-ons popular for content.
Sport yachts (60-65ft) start at $3,200/day or about $1,800 for a 4-hour minimum charter. Motor yachts (75-85ft) from $4,800/day. Superyachts (100ft+) from $8,500/day. Pricing includes captain, crew, and fuel; food, beverages, and 7% Florida fuel surcharge are extra.
Most Miami yachts have a 4-hour minimum charter requirement. Full-day charters (8 hours) are about 1.6x the 4-hour rate. This is industry-standard in South Florida due to dockage and crew costs.
The three main departure marinas are Miami Beach Marina (south end of South Beach), Sea Isle Marina (downtown / Brickell area), and Bayside Marketplace marina. Most yachts can depart from any of the three with advance notice.
Single-day yacht trips to Bimini (Bahamas) are technically possible — about 50 nautical miles, 2-3 hours each way — but require yachts equipped for offshore travel and customs paperwork at both ends. Most groups doing Bimini do an overnight or 2-day charter instead.
Most include basic snorkeling gear and a paddleboard. Jet skis, towable tubes, water skis, and SeaBobs are typically add-ons ranging $200-$500/day depending on the equipment. We confirm the inclusion list before booking.
