Luxury Yacht Charter Miami

Day charters in Biscayne Bay start around $5,000–$10,000 for a 4-hour outing on a 70–90ft yacht. Weekly motor yacht charters out of Miami typically range from $40,000 (smaller 80–100ft) to $300,000+ (140ft+ superyachts) per week, plus APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance, ~30% of base for fuel, food, dockage). Sailing yachts are roughly 30–40% less than equivalent-length motor yachts.

YCharters represents motor yachts from 65ft to 200ft, sailing yachts (sloops and ketches) from 60ft to 130ft, and a small number of luxury catamarans. We rotate through 30–50 active Miami listings at any given time. Tell us your party size, dates, and preferred style and we'll match the right vessel — typically within 2 hours.

Yes — this is one of the most popular itineraries we book. Miami to Bimini is a 60-mile crossing (3–4 hours at cruising speed); Miami to Nassau is about 200 miles (overnight passage). Most Miami-based charter yachts hold the relevant Bahamas cruising permits and clearance. A typical 7-day Bahamas charter from Miami covers Bimini, the Berry Islands, and Nassau, with optional extensions to the Exumas.

For high season (November–April), book 3–6 months ahead — the best yachts get reserved early. For shoulder seasons (May, October), 30–60 days is usually sufficient. For day charters or last-minute weekend escapes, we can sometimes confirm within 48 hours.

The base charter fee covers the yacht itself, full professional crew (captain, mate, chef, stew), insurance, and use of all onboard amenities (water toys, audio/visual, etc.). Not included: fuel, food and beverages, dockage, port fees, communications, and crew gratuity (industry standard 15–20% at trip end). These are typically grouped under "APA" — ~30% of the base charter fee, drawn down against actual costs.
