Terms
Miami Yacht Charter Terms You See Before You Pay
Some Miami charter companies ask for 3 to 14 days' notice to cancel, and others don't refund the deposit at all. Here it's simpler, and anything specific to one yacht is listed on its page.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours
Cancel for free up to 24 hours before departure, or move your trip to a new date we agree on together. Later cancellations are non-refundable.
Bad weather
The captain decides on the day. An 80% chance of rain or wind of 25 mph or more means any open date at no cost, or a full refund if none works. Light rain doesn't count, and weather that turns once you're out isn't refunded.
If the yacht breaks down or there's an emergency
If the yacht breaks down, choose a new date or a full refund. After a death in the family or a hospital stay, you get your deposit back with supporting documents.
Group size
Up to 13 people on board, including the person who charters the yacht, under U.S. Coast Guard rules. Children count too. Bigger groups go on certified event yachts.

FAQ
Questions About Renting a Yacht in Miami
Straight answers on prices, group size, weather and payment.
How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Miami?
A boat rental in Miami starts at $700 for 4 hours on a 27 ft boat. Most yachts are 40 to 99 ft and start at $1,075 to $4,200 for 4 hours, depending on size; 100 ft and up from $5,800. Choose 4, 6 or 8 hours.
What's included in the yacht rental price?
A licensed captain, fuel for a standard Miami route, ice, water, towels, a floating mat, a cooler and a Bluetooth speaker. Tax is included; crew gratuity is not.
How many people can I bring on a yacht in Miami?
Up to 13 people on a standard yacht, including the person who charters it, under U.S. Coast Guard rules, and children count too. For 14 or more, book a certified event yacht: one takes up to 50 people, the largest up to 600 standing.
Do I need a boating license to rent a yacht in Miami?
No. Your charter comes with a licensed captain, so nobody in your group drives. Florida's boater education rules apply to whoever is at the helm, and here that's the captain.
What if it rains or our plans change before the charter?
You can cancel or move the date for free up to a day before departure. If the captain calls it off for an 80% chance of rain or wind of 25 mph or more, you get any open date at no extra cost, or a full refund if none works.
How do I pay for a yacht charter in Miami?
The 30% deposit goes directly to the yacht owner, and the balance is paid at the dock. Any common payment method works, with no payment fees, and a payment plan is possible.
Can we bring our own food and drinks on the yacht?
Yes, your own food and alcohol are welcome on board. We can also arrange catering, a private chef or a bartender. Order extras at least 48 hours before the trip.
Can I rent a yacht in Miami for several days?
Yes: Bimini and Nassau in the Bahamas, the Florida Keys and Key West, at around $4,250 per day on 40–60 ft yachts. An overnight Bimini trip takes 2 days or more, Nassau at least 3 to 4 days, and we recommend everyone bring a passport for the Bahamas. Fuel, food and marina fees come out of an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) of 30–35% of the charter price, and whatever is left is refunded.
