Essential Info for Your Miami Boat Trip
Most of our luxury yachts comfortably accommodate groups of up to 12 guests. While maritime regulations have specific limits, we provide flexible arrangements to ensure your entire party can enjoy the experience together. Whether it’s a milestone birthday or a corporate gathering, we’ll help you select the perfect vessel that meets both your group size and safety standards.
In Miami, tropical showers are usually brief and pass quickly. If a light rain begins, there’s no need to worry—most of our yachts feature spacious, climate-controlled indoor salons where you can relax in comfort. While we cruise between beautiful locations, the sun often reappears by the time we reach our next stop. If the weather is officially deemed hazardous by the Captain or Coast Guard, we will offer a full refund or help you reschedule.
Absolutely. While many enjoy Miami for a few hours, the best way to experience the ocean is a multi-day charter. We offer extended voyages to the Florida Keys or across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas (Bimini or the Exumas). For these trips, we’ll work with you on a customized itinerary and a Preference Sheet to ensure the yacht is fully provisioned with your favorite food and drinks before we set sail.
Yes, you are more than welcome to bring your own refreshments (BYOB). We provide ice, water, and sodas as part of the service. If you’d prefer to just show up and relax, we can also arrange custom catering or a private chef to prepare gourmet meals on deck while you take in the Miami skyline.
To keep our pricing transparent, please note that a 7% Florida sales tax and a standard 15–20% crew gratuity are typically added to the base rate. For multi-day trips, an APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is also collected to cover variable costs like fuel and specific food requests, with all unused funds refunded to you after the charter.

Bareboat charter Miami
There is a specific kind of adrenaline that comes with being the master of your own destiny on the water. A bareboat rental miami isn't just about a day in the sun; it's about the total autonomy to choose your own horizon, wake up to the sound of the Atlantic, and pilot a high-performance vessel without a stranger on board.We provide the hardware for experienced mariners who want to skip the "tourist" experience. Whether you are eyeing the shallow drafts of the Florida Keys or a cross-stream run to the Bahamas, our fleet is ready for those who know how to handle a line.
A bareboat charter miami is a private vessel rental where the charterer acts as the captain, assuming full responsibility for navigation, safety, and operation. These rentals typically require a proven sailing resume or a valid skipper’s license for vessels over a certain size.

The fleet: From performance monohulls to stable cats
When you look for a bareboat sailboat charter, the choice of hull dictates your journey. For those who love the "heel" and the tactical feel of the wind, we offer elite monohulls like the Beneteau and Jeanneau Sun Odyssey lines. However, if you're traveling with family, a bareboat sailing florida trip is often best served by a catamaran like the Astrea 42 or Leopard 38.
• Sailing Catamarans: Offer massive living space and high stability.
• Power Catamarans: Perfect for those who want the space of a cat but the speed of a motor yacht.
• Monohulls: The classic choice where the thrill of the sail is the priority.
• Tenders: Most larger bareboat charters include a smaller dinghy or "zodiac" to help you explore isolated shores.

Qualifications: Can you rent bareboat in Florida?
Key West and the Florida Keys are considered advanced sailing destinations. To qualify for a bareboat key west rental, you generally need a "Captain's Resume" showing significant experience. If you were born after 1988, Florida law also requires a Boater's Safety License. We also offer an "orientation sail" or a "check-out captain" for the first day to help you get familiar with the advanced systems—like the generator and опреснитель (water maker).
• Sailing Resume: Detailed history of your experience as a named captain.
• Briefing: A mandatory 2.5-hour yacht systems orientation and chart briefing.
• Security Deposit: Most bareboat rentals florida keys require a refundable deposit.
• Survey: You are responsible for a delivery and return survey of the vessel’s condition.
Itineraries: Miami to Bahamas and the Keys
The beauty of a miami bareboat rental is the flexibility. You can start at the Miami Beach Marina and head south through the Florida Keys. A standard 4 to 7-day trip allows you to hit Islamorada and Marathon, or even make the 70-mile run to the Dry Tortugas. For those with 10–14 days, crossing the Gulf Stream to Bimini or the Abacos in the Bahamas is the ultimate challenge.
• Miami Beach Marina: A premier departure point with easy access to the ocean.
• Dry Tortugas: A remote paradise with a historic fort and crystal-clear snorkeling.
• Bahamas Crossing: Requires careful planning and proper customs clearance.
Managing the budget and the boat While you aren't paying the maintenance, your charter usually operates under a Recreational Bareboat Charter Agreement. This means you are responsible for provisioning—though we offer a "provisioning service" to have the galley stocked with your favorite cocktails and food before you arrive.
• Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA): A budget for fuel and supplies that is itemized at the end of your trip.
• Soft Bags Only: Use duffles instead of hard suitcases; they won't scratch the teak.
• Safety First: We ensure the boat is stocked with life jackets, flares, and fire extinguishers.
The Atlantic is waiting for its next captain. We handles the paperwork so you can handle the helm.
