5

Board and sail — nothing left to arrange

Arrive 15 minutes early. Your captain handles navigation, anchoring, and safety briefing. Ice and water are on board. Catering and decorations arranged in advance if requested.

When a Nauty 360 Charter is NOT the Right Choice

This service is not for you if:
  • You want a bareboat (self-skippered) rental. We only operate captained charters. Florida law requires a USCG license for commercial passenger vessels. Operating without one risks fines above $40,000.
  • Your budget is under $1,200 for 4 people. Per-person on a shared tour ($65-$120) is a better value for solo travelers or couples without a group to split costs.
  • You need same-day booking on a peak Saturday in February. We are typically fully booked 2-3 weekends ahead during high season. Contact us Tuesday for weekend availability.
  • You want to go to the Bahamas tomorrow. Bahamas-capable offshore charters require 5-10 days advance notice for customs paperwork, weather windows, and fuel planning.

Private yacht charters in Miami start from $1,150 for a 4-hour charter on the 24 ft Hurricane (up to 10 guests) and rise to $6,100+ for the 70 ft Azimut. Mid-range options include the 40 ft Sea Ray (from $1,450/4h) and the 44 ft Sea Ray Sundancer (from $2,100/4h). The general maximum is 13 guests under USCG limits (a few larger yachts carry a special capacity license and take more guests (Ferretti 85 ft: 15; Azimut 90 ft: 20)), with captain, fuel, ice and safety equipment included.

Yes — all Nauty 360 Miami charters include a USCG-licensed captain. This is also a legal requirement: commercial passenger vessels operating in US waters must be commanded by a federally licensed operator under 46 CFR. The captain's tip is not included in the price and it is optional.
November through April is Miami's nautical peak season: air temperatures 72-82°F, water temperatures 74-78°F, and easterly trade winds keeping seas calm in Biscayne Bay. Weekday charters in January or February offer the best combination of ideal weather and vessel availability. Avoid Miami Art Basel week (first week of December) and Memorial Day weekend — prices spike 20-35% and availability drops to near zero.
Our Miami fleet departs from several marinas — including Rickenbacker Marina (Key Biscayne), Venetian Marina, and the Miami River — depending on your vessel. Your exact departure point is confirmed via WhatsApp when you book.
Weekdays year-round: 48-72 hours is usually sufficient. Weekends November through April: book 2-3 weeks ahead. During Art Basel, Super Bowl weekends, and Memorial Day weekend: 4-6 weeks minimum for larger vessels. We always reply within 2 hours of an inquiry; online bookings are confirmed instantly.
Yes. You can bring your own food and drinks at no extra charge. We provide ice, a cooler, and cups. If you prefer catered service — a bartender, chef, or catering company — that is arranged as an add-on before departure. Florida law prohibits consuming alcohol on vessels by minors. Your captain enforces this.
No. The captain's tip is not included in the price, and it is optional: it is not mandatory.
Most single-vessel charters are capped at 13 guests — the USCG limit for vessels without special licensing; a few larger yachts carry a special capacity license and take more guests (Ferretti 85 ft: 15; Azimut 90 ft: 20). For larger groups, Nauty 360 coordinates 2 or more vessels departing together so your whole party travels as one. Message us with your headcount and we'll recommend the right vessel combination.
