Frequently Asked Questions

Our charter rates start at $450 for a 2-hour trip on a 26-foot sport boat and go up to $15,550 for a full-day super yacht experience on a 94-foot Azimut S10. Mid-size yachts (48-55 feet) range from $1,600 to $2,650 for 4-6 hours. Every rate includes your captain, fuel, and crew — no hidden fees.

Every charter includes a USCG-licensed captain, fuel, standard crew, safety equipment, a Bluetooth sound system, and a cooler with ice. Select vessels also include water toys, floating pools, and snorkeling gear at no extra charge. The price you see is the price you pay.

No. Unlike many Miami charter companies, we operate on an all-inclusive pricing model. Captain, fuel, and crew are built into every rate. The only additional costs are gratuity for your crew (industry standard 15-20%, at your discretion) and any optional add-ons you request such as catering or floral arrangements.

Gratuity is not included in the charter rate and is at your discretion. The industry standard in Miami is 15-20% of the base charter rate. Your captain and crew work hard to make your experience memorable, and tips are always appreciated.

Rates may increase during major Miami events such as Art Basel, Miami Boat Show, New Year's Eve, and the F1 Grand Prix. Peak season runs December through April when demand is highest. We recommend booking early during these periods to lock in the best rate and vessel availability.

Minimum rental times vary by vessel. Sport boats (26-37 feet) have a 2-3 hour minimum. Mid-size yachts and larger vessels (48 feet and above) have a 4-hour minimum. This ensures you have enough time to enjoy the full Miami boating experience.

Contact us for current weekday availability and any promotions. Monday through Thursday bookings often have more flexible scheduling and broader vessel availability compared to weekends.

No. Every charter comes with a USCG-licensed captain who handles all navigation and vessel operation. You are a guest on board — no license, certification, or boating experience required. Just show up and enjoy.

Yes. All our captains hold USCG Merchant Mariner Credentials (OUPV or Master license), Florida FWC Saltwater Charter Captain Licenses, and current CPR/First Aid certifications. They are enrolled in USCG-approved drug and alcohol testing programs. All vessels carry full commercial maritime insurance.

Every vessel is equipped with USCG-required safety gear including life jackets for all passengers, fire extinguishers, visual distress signals, a first aid kit, and VHF radio. Your captain conducts a safety briefing before departure so everyone knows the equipment locations and emergency procedures.

Passenger capacity varies by vessel and is set by USCG regulations. Our sport boats hold 8-13 guests, mid-size yachts hold up to 13 guests, and super yachts accommodate up to 13 guests per vessel. For larger groups, we can coordinate multi-vessel charters. We never exceed the rated capacity — your safety comes first.

Our captains monitor marine weather conditions daily and make the final call on whether conditions are safe for departure. If seas are too rough, we will reschedule your trip at no extra charge. Biscayne Bay is generally calmer than the open ocean, and our captains know the most sheltered routes.

Yes. Children of all ages are welcome on our charters. We have appropriately sized life jackets for younger guests. Let us know the ages of any children in your group when booking so we can ensure the right safety equipment is ready.

Pets are generally not permitted on our charter vessels to protect the boats and ensure the comfort of all guests. If bringing a pet is important to you, contact us in advance and we will see if any of our vessel owners can accommodate the request.

Yes — yacht parties are one of the top bachelorette and bachelor party activities in Miami. We offer packages with champagne, decorations, and custom music playlists.

We offer a range of add-ons including floral arrangements, balloon installations, custom banners, LED lighting, a private chef, catering platters (starting at $49.99), a masseuse, a drone video pilot, and premium alcohol delivery. All add-ons are arranged through our team — just tell us your vision.

Every vessel in our fleet has a Bluetooth sound system. Bring your own playlist and connect wirelessly. For larger events, we can arrange a professional DJ as an add-on. Miami-Dade noise ordinance requires music not to be audible beyond 100 feet from the vessel between 11 PM and 7 AM.

To protect the vessels, the following items are typically not allowed: glitter, confetti, balloons (they can blow into the water and harm marine life), red wine on white-interior yachts, hookah or smoking on certain vessels, and glass containers on sport boats. Confirm specific vessel rules when booking.

Safety is our top priority. If conditions are unsafe for departure, your captain will make the call and we will offer you a full reschedule to another date at no extra charge. We monitor marine weather closely and will contact you in advance if conditions look unfavorable.

Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you cancel. Cancellations made well in advance typically receive a full refund or credit toward a future charter. Cancellations within 24-48 hours of the charter may forfeit the deposit. Contact us as early as possible and we will work with you on the best solution.

Light rain is common in Miami, especially during summer afternoons, and usually passes quickly. Our larger yachts have enclosed air-conditioned cabins where you can wait out a brief shower. Your captain will adjust the itinerary to find calmer conditions. If a severe storm develops, your captain will return to the marina for safety.

We offer flexible rescheduling for weather-related cancellations at no extra charge. For additional peace of mind, we recommend purchasing third-party travel insurance that covers trip interruption and cancellation for personal reasons. Ask our team for recommended providers.

In the rare event of a mechanical issue, we will arrange an alternative vessel of equal or greater value if possible, or provide a full refund. Our fleet undergoes regular maintenance to minimize this risk. We will never send you out on a vessel that is not in top condition.

We monitor marine forecasts continuously and will contact you by phone or WhatsApp as early as possible — typically the evening before or the morning of your charter. We never send a last-minute text 20 minutes before departure. Clear communication is a promise we take seriously.
