Yacht Charter in Miami Beach
Board from South Beach or Sunset Harbour and cruise past Star Island, Fisher Island, and the Miami skyline. Miami Beach is our most-requested boarding area, with the largest and widest fleet in South Florida.
Why charter out of Miami Beach
Miami Beach puts you closest to the water everyone pictures when they think of a Miami charter: Star Island's waterfront mansions, Fisher Island, Government Cut, and a straight shot out to open water or down to Key Biscayne and the sandbars. It's also where the bulk of the region's charter fleet is based, which means more boats, more availability on short notice, and a wider spread of sizes — from 33-foot day boats for a small group to 100’+ superyachts for a full event.
Boarding locations
Most Miami Beach charters board from marinas around South Beach and Sunset Harbour, with a smaller number out of Belle Isle. Your concierge confirms the exact marina once a specific vessel is booked — it varies by boat, not by neighborhood.
What's in the fleet
Miami Beach has the most balanced mix of any boarding area we cover: sport yachts for smaller groups, motor yachts and luxury yachts for full-day charters and parties, and a meaningful number of superyachts for larger events. If you want a jacuzzi onboard or a jet ski included, Miami Beach has the widest selection of boats with both.
| Category | Typical size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sport Yacht | 30’–45’ | Small groups, day trips to sandbars |
| Motor Yacht | 45’–65’ | Half/full-day charters, birthdays |
| Luxury Yacht | 60’–90’ | Larger groups, overnight-style charters |
| Superyacht | 90’+ | Corporate events, large parties |
Good to know before you book
Rates shown on each vessel's listing are for 4, 6, and 8-hour charters and typically include captain and crew; fuel, gratuity, and catering are usually separate and confirmed with your quote. Weekend dates for Miami Beach's most popular boats can book out 1–2 weeks ahead in season (November–April) — request early if you have a specific date in mind.
Frequently asked
How far in advance should I book a Miami Beach charter?
For a standard weekday, a few days' notice is usually enough. For weekends during peak season (November through April), book 1–2 weeks out if you want your pick of the fleet.
Do I need a boating license?
No — nearly every charter out of Miami Beach is captained, meaning a licensed captain and crew run the boat. You and your guests don't need any boating experience.
Can I see the Miami skyline and Star Island on the same trip?
Yes — it's the standard route for most half-day Miami Beach charters, along with Fisher Island and Government Cut. Tell your concierge if you have other spots in mind (South Pointe, Haulover, the sandbars) and they'll confirm what's realistic for your charter length.
