Boat Rental in Miami
Boat rental in Miami with Yacht Charter Advisor means a private motor boat with a captain, booked for 4, 6 or 8 hours and priced from $700. We are charter advisors: you pick a boat from the catalog below, and we hold your date and arrange the details with the boat's owner.
- A captain at the helm. Every boat goes out with a captain, so your group spends the day on deck, not behind the wheel.
- Four hours is the shortest trip. Choose 4, 6 or 8 hours. Each boat lists its price for all three lengths, so you know the total before you ask for a date.
- One price, any day. Weekdays, weekends and holidays cost the same, and sales tax is already in it.
- Room for your group. Up to 13 people can come, counting the person who charters the boat, and children count too, under U.S. Coast Guard rules. Each boat shows its own guest count.
- Your food and drinks. Bring lunch and drinks aboard. A caterer, a bartender or a DJ can join if you ask 48 hours ahead.

How Long to Rent a Boat in Miami and Where It Can Go
The length of the trip decides how much of the water you see. Four hours is the shortest charter, and 6 or 8 hours leave room for more stops. The captain follows the route you choose, whether that is Star Island, the Haulover sandbar, the Miami River or a sunset.
4 hours: one big stop
The shortest trip fits one main stop, such as anchoring near Haulover Inlet to swim. Prices start at $700 on a 27 ft boat. See the Miami sandbars guide for the spots.
6 hours: a relaxed day
Time for a cruise past Star Island and the downtown skyline, then a long swim and a lunch you brought along. On the Regal 27 it is $1,000.
8 hours: the full day
A sandbar, lunch you bring or a caterer, and the sun going down over Biscayne Bay. On the Regal 27 it is $1,400. Details on evening trips are on the sunset cruise page.
Birthdays, family days and parties
Celebrate with your own music on the Bluetooth speaker on board, and a DJ or a photographer can join if you ask 48 hours ahead. Bachelorette decor starts at $250. See party boat rental and the bachelorette yacht rental page for more.
