Art Basel Yacht Charter in Miami
Art Week turns Collins Avenue into a parking lot. A private yacht turns it into a twenty-minute cruise: board near the Convention Center, host clients over the bay, and step off in Brickell or back at your hotel dock.
Art Week 2026 at a glance
Art Basel Miami Beach runs at the Miami Beach Convention Center with VIP Preview Days on Wednesday, December 2 and Thursday, December 3, and public days Friday, December 4 to Sunday, December 6, 2026, 11 AM to 6 PM. The city’s wider Art Week, with Design Miami and the satellite fairs, runs from November 30. The evenings, when the fairs close and the dinners begin, are when the water comes into its own.
Three ways our clients use a yacht during Art Week
- The sunset client cruise. A 4-hour evening charter after the fair closes: champagne at golden hour past Star Island, the skyline lit up on the way back. Ideal for 10 to 25 guests.
- The floating dinner. A superyacht with crew and catering for a gallery, family office or brand dinner of up to 40 guests, away from the restaurant crush.
- The water taxi with a view. Move a small group between Miami Beach, Brickell and Wynwood-side marinas without sitting in traffic on the causeways.

Frequently asked
When is Art Basel Miami Beach 2026?
Public days are Friday, December 4 to Sunday, December 6, 2026, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, with VIP Preview Days on December 2 and 3. Miami Beach Art Week runs from November 30 to December 6.
How many guests can a yacht take during Art Basel?
Our Art Week shortlist ranges from 25 to 40 guests per yacht. For a smaller group of 10 to 13, a 40 to 45-foot sport yacht is a more intimate and economical option.
Can we board near the Convention Center?
Many Miami Beach yachts board from marinas in South Beach and Sunset Harbour, a short drive from the Convention Center. Your concierge confirms the exact marina once a specific yacht is booked.
Can the yacht provide catering and drinks for a client event?
Yes. Catering, bar service, decor and a photographer can be arranged on most larger yachts and are quoted separately, so you see the full cost before you confirm.
How far ahead should we book for Art Week?
As early as possible. For the VIP days and the Friday and Saturday evenings, two to three weeks ahead gives you the widest choice; we can still often place last-minute requests on smaller yachts.
