How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Miami?
Pricing depends on the yacht size, day/time, duration (half-day vs full-day), route, and season.
The fastest way to quote is your date + start time + hours + guest count.
We’ll match you with the best options and pickup marina for your route.
What’s included with a Miami yacht rental?
Most rentals include the yacht, onboard amenities, and standard safety equipment.
Inclusions vary by listing (ice, coolers, water toys, towels, etc.). We’ll confirm your yacht’s exact inclusions before you pay.
Tip is typically not included.
Where do we meet? Do you have multiple pickup marinas?
Yes—pickup depends on the yacht and your preferred route (sandbar, skyline, islands, etc.).
See marina pickup locations for common options.
What routes can we do in 4 hours vs 6–8 hours?
4 hours: typically skyline / Star Island loops, Monument Island, Marine Stadium, or one nearby swim stop.
6–8 hours: more time for sandbars (Haulover or Nixon) plus a skyline sunset loop, or longer day-trip style cruising. For inspiration, check our Miami destinations & routes guide.

How many people can we bring?
Capacity depends on the specific yacht (USCG/manufacturer limits). Tell us your guest count and we’ll only send yachts that fit comfortably and legally.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Usually yes. Most guests bring their own food/drinks and we recommend easy, non-messy options.
Ask us about the yacht’s cooler/ice setup and any glass restrictions.
Do you offer captain/crew? How does that work?
Some rentals are offered as private bareboat-style arrangements where the renter selects an independent captain/crew from an approved roster.
We’ll guide you step-by-step so confirmations are documented and everything stays smooth for your date.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Miami weather can shift quickly. If conditions are unsafe, routes may change or rescheduling options may apply depending on your booking terms.
Your captain will prioritize safety and will propose the best alternative plan available.
How far in advance should we book?
Weekends and holidays fill fastest—especially for sandbar days and sunset cruises.
If you have a specific date/time, booking earlier gives you the best selection.
Do you allow decorations, birthdays, proposals, or special events?
Yes—most yachts allow light décor (balloons, small signs) as long as it’s removable and doesn’t damage surfaces.
Tell us the occasion and we’ll confirm what’s allowed and recommend the best route for photos.
