Ideal for: Larger groups wanting a sport boat experience, adventure seekers, sandbar parties, snorkeling excursions, full-day trips.

Cruiser Class — $1,600 to $2,300

Motor Yachts — $1,950 to $7,350

This is where most celebrations happen. The 50 to 70-foot yachts in our fleet feature enclosed salons, flybridges, multiple deck levels, full bathrooms, and the kind of space that makes the vessel itself feel like the venue.

Ideal for: Active groups who want water toys, bachelor parties, family adventures, multi-stop island hopping.

Super Yachts — $8,650 to $15,550

Super yachts deliver a different category of experience. Multiple crew members, expansive deck space, master suites, and the kind of presence that turns heads across the marina. These 94 to 105-foot vessels are for events where the yacht itself is the statement.

The True Cost: All-Inclusive vs. Hidden-Fee Pricing

This is where most people get burned. A yacht listed at $1,500 on a competitor’s marketplace listing can end up costing $2,000-$2,300 after add-ons you did not see coming.

What Other Companies Charge on Top of the Base Price

Ranges below reflect common industry practices observed on third-party marketplace platforms. Actual fees vary by operator.

Hidden FeeTypical RangeHow Often It Appears

Fuel surchargeVaries by trip distanceCommon
Booking platform fee5-15% of totalCommon on marketplaces
Cleaning feeVaries by operatorSometimes
Crew gratuity (mandatory)18-20% auto-addedSometimes
Dockage/port feesVaries by marinaVaries

What a $1,500 “Base Price” Can Actually Cost at a Competitor

Here is a hypothetical example of how add-on pricing can inflate a charter quote. The specific fees below are illustrative — actual amounts vary by operator and platform.

Line ItemIllustrative Cost
Base charter rate$1,500
Captain fee (separate)~$160
Fuel surcharge~$150
Platform booking fee (~10%)~$150
Cleaning fee~$150
Subtotal before gratuity~$2,110
Gratuity (if auto-added ~18%)~$380
Potential total~$2,490

That “$1,500 charter” just became $2,490 — a 66% increase from the advertised price.

What the Same Experience Costs With All-Inclusive Pricing

Line ItemCost
Charter rate (captain, fuel, crew included)$1,950
Gratuity (15-20%, discretionary)$293-$390
Total$2,243-$2,340

The all-inclusive price is actually lower, and you know exactly what you are paying from the start. No surprises at the dock.

How to Choose the Right Yacht for Your Budget

Budget-Friendly ($450-$1,150)

Choose a sport boat. The Crownline 26 ($450 for 2 hours) and Axopar 37 ($700 for 2 hours) deliver a genuine private charter experience at a fraction of what most people expect to pay. Perfect for couples, small groups of friends, and casual outings where the goal is simply being on the water.

Per person for a group of 8: $56-$88

Mid-Range ($1,600-$2,900)

This is the sweet spot for most celebrations. The Sea Ray 48 ($1,600) and Azimut 55 ($1,950) give you air conditioning, a bathroom, and enough space for a real party or event. The Azimut 66 ($2,900) is the top of this range with more room and a larger flybridge.

Per person for a group of 13: $123-$223

Premium ($4,050-$7,350)

The Azimut 70 and Galeon 68 sit in the premium range. The Galeon 68 stands out with its included water toys — Seabobs, E-Foil, inflatable pool, and more. If your group wants an active, adventure-focused charter, the extra cost over a standard yacht is worth it.

Per person for a group of 13: $312-$565

Ultra-Premium ($8,650-$15,550)

Super yachts for occasions where the experience is the entire point. The Azimut 103 includes a water slide, pool, jet skis, and gratuity in the rate. The Azimut S10 94 is the pinnacle with a 5-person crew and deployed swim platforms on longer charters.

Per person for a group of 13: $665-$1,196

Seasonal Pricing: When to Book for the Best Value

Miami’s charter season follows a predictable pattern. Knowing when prices peak and when they relax can save you hundreds.

Peak Season (December through April)

Rates run above summer baseline. This is Miami’s best weather — lower humidity, cooler temperatures, and perfect visibility. It is also when the most tourists visit, so demand is high and availability is tighter.

Premium events during peak season:

  • Art Basel (December) — significant premiums
  • Miami Boat Show (February) — High demand, limited availability
  • F1 Grand Prix (May) — Premium pricing

Summer (May through August)

Summer is the baseline for pricing. Weather is hot and humid, but afternoons are spectacular on the water where the breeze takes the edge off. Afternoon thunderstorms are common but predictable — your captain monitors NOAA forecasts and adjusts accordingly.

Off-Season (September through November)

The best value window. Prices dip below summer rates, and availability is excellent. Weather is still warm enough for comfortable chartering, and you will have less crowded sandbars and waterways.

Pro tip: Book a weekday charter in October for the best combination of price and availability.

What Is Included vs. What Costs Extra

Always Included in Your Charter Price

  • USCG-licensed captain
  • Fuel for the entire trip
  • Standard crew
  • Cooler with ice
  • Bluetooth sound system
  • Use of onboard amenities (A/C, bathroom, flybridge where available)
  • Water toys on vessels that have them (Galeon 68 and Azimut 103)

Not Included (Budget for These)

  • Gratuity: 15-20% of the charter cost, given directly to the crew in cash. This is customary in the industry but not mandatory. (Exception: Azimut 103 includes gratuity in its rate.)
  • Food and beverages: BYOB is standard. Bring your own food and drinks in coolers. Ice is provided.
  • Optional add-ons: Catering (from $49.99), DJ ($300-$600), photographer ($250-$2,000), drone photography ($250-$500), floral arrangements ($50-$2,000), private chef ($50-$300/person), flyboarding ($575).

Duration Options and Value

Most charters offer tiered duration pricing. Longer charters generally deliver a lower per-hour rate.

How Per-Hour Cost Drops With Longer Charters (Axopar 37 Example)

DurationTotalPer Hour
2 hours$700$350/hr
3 hours$1,050$350/hr
4 hours$1,350$338/hr
6 hours$1,750$292/hr
8 hours$2,050$256/hr

An 8-hour charter on the Axopar 37 costs $256 per hour compared to $350 per hour for a 2-hour charter — a 27% savings per hour.

Which Duration Should You Book?

  • 2 hours: Quick sunset cruise, casual ride around the islands, first-time charter experience
  • 3-4 hours: The most popular choice. Enough time for a full sandbar stop, island cruising, and sunset views
  • 6 hours: Multi-stop itinerary with sandbar, snorkeling, and cruising. Comfortable pace without rushing
  • 8 hours: Full-day adventure. Island hopping, fishing, extended sandbar time, or a trip further south

With all-inclusive charter companies, captain, fuel, and crew are bundled into one transparent price. The only additional costs are gratuity (15-20%, industry standard) and any optional add-ons you choose (catering, DJ, photographer). Some competitors quote low base prices then add captain fees, fuel surcharges, and booking platform fees that can significantly inflate the total.
