Why Rent a Yacht for a Group Event in Miami?
- Privacy: it is just your guests and your crew, with no strangers on board.
- Flexibility: you choose the route, the schedule and the stops, from a swim at the sandbar to a sunset past Star Island.

- Everything in one place: seating, dining, music and views, without moving between venues.
- A professional crew: a captain and crew look after navigation, safety and service, so you can focus on your guests.

Things to Plan Before You Book
- Guest count. Always book for the maximum number of guests you expect, within the yacht’s capacity.
- Date and time. Weekends, holidays and winter fill up first, so reserve early.
- Duration. Decide between a half day and a full day.
- Food and drinks. Ask what is included on your yacht, and whether catering can be arranged.
- Music and decorations. Tell the crew your plans so they can prepare.
- Route. Choose the places you want to see. Our guide to the best places to go on a Miami yacht charter can help.
- Special requests. Surprise, proposal, toast or speech: share them in advance.
Keeping the Budget Under Control
- The price is per yacht, not per person, so a bigger group lowers the cost per guest.
- Weekdays can be cheaper than Saturdays.
- Taxes, crew gratuity and extras are usually added to the base price.
