Miami Beach luxury yacht charter on Biscayne Bay

Miami Beach Yacht Charter

Charter directly from Miami Beach — Star Island, Hibiscus Island, and Sunset Harbour docks. Day charters on Biscayne Bay, weekend escapes to the Bahamas, full-week luxury programmes with crew aboard.

Miami Beach Yacht Charter

Miami Beach is the social and aesthetic centre of Florida yachting. South Beach's Sunset Harbour, Star Island's private docks, and the Venetian Causeway anchorage put guests minutes from the city's top restaurants, hotels, and beaches — while every Miami Beach charter has open ocean access through Government Cut within 20 minutes of casting off.

YCharters specialises in Miami Beach yacht programmes — both day charters (4–12 hours, usually a Biscayne Bay loop with sandbar swim stops) and overnight weekly charters (Bahamas crossings, Florida Keys, or coastwise to Naples). Our captains know every dockmaster, every sandbar, and every reservation desk worth a call from the bridge.

For Art Basel, Miami Race Week, Miami Boat Show, and New Year's Eve, demand significantly exceeds supply — book 90–180 days ahead. For shoulder weeks, we routinely close charters in 48 hours.

The Difference

Star Island Docks

Private dock access at Star Island, Hibiscus Island, Sunset Harbour, and Watson Island marinas. Discreet boarding, no public marina exposure.

Event-Ready

Art Basel, Miami Boat Show, Formula 1, Super Bowl — we book the right yacht for the right week and handle dockside coordination with security teams.

Bahamas in 3 Hours

Miami Beach to Bimini is a 60-mile, 3-hour crossing. Many of our Miami Beach yachts do a Friday-evening departure and return Monday morning. Ideal long-weekend escape.

Common Questions

Where do Miami Beach yacht charters board?

Most board at Sunset Harbour, Miami Beach Marina, or private docks on Star Island / Hibiscus Island. For ultra-private boarding, several of our yachts can pick guests up at Watson Island or directly off Fisher Island. Tell your broker your preference — discretion is the default.

Can I host an Art Basel / Boat Show party on a yacht?

Yes — yacht event hosting during major Miami weeks is one of our most-booked services. A 120-150ft motor yacht docked at Island Gardens or Sea Isle Marina makes an ideal venue for 50–80 guest cocktail receptions. We coordinate with caterers, event producers, and security. Book 90+ days ahead for these weeks.

What's a typical Miami Beach day charter itinerary?

Most day charters depart Miami Beach mid-morning, cruise Biscayne Bay south past Star Island and Fisher Island, anchor at a sandbar (Nixon's, Boca Chita, or Elliott Key depending on conditions) for swimming and lunch, optionally a stop at the Standard Spa, and return at sunset. 8 hours, 8 guests, 80-100ft motor yacht: typically $8,000–$15,000.

Do you charter sailing yachts from Miami Beach?

Yes, though motor yachts dominate the Miami Beach fleet. We represent a handful of premium sailing yachts (60–110ft) operating out of Coconut Grove and Coral Gables — these are ideal for guests wanting a quieter, more traditional charter experience and willing to trade some speed for elegance.
