How Feeling Yachty Miami Yacht Catering Works
Step-by-step plan for on-water food & beverage serviceβoptimized for Miami charters, safety, galley limits, and timing.
-
Step 1
Plan & Taste
We do a quick discovery: guest count, cruise time, vibe, allergies, and dietary preferences. For larger events or specialty menus, we can arrange a tasting or sample board pickup in Miami.
- Lead time: 7β14 days preferred; rush options available.
- Dietary: vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher-style, nut-free on request.
- Beverage: BYOB or curated bar packages with mixers & garnish kits.
-
Step 3
Logistics & Marine Compliance
We coordinate with your captain/crew for dock access, galley limits, warming/cold storage, and service windows. Time-safe packaging and food safety standards are followed end-to-end for marine service.
- Dockside delivery & boarding schedules.
- Service style: buffet, family-style, passed bites, or plated.
- Labeling for allergens and dietary plates.
-
Step 4
Confirm & Payment
Youβll receive an itemized confirmationβmenu, headcount, delivery window, staffing (if plated or passed), rentals (chafers, ice, glassware), and dΓ©cor. Transparent, all-fees-included pricing; gratuity optional.
-
Step 5
Day-Of Service
Dockside delivery 60β90 minutes before boarding (earlier if staffed). Crew or FY staff stages, plates, and presents according to plan. Beverage support includes garnish kits, ice management, and bar setup if selected.
-
Step 6
During the Charter
We pace courses to your itinerary (swim stop, sunset, speeches). Hot stays hot; cold stays cold. Dietary plates are discreetly marked. FY staff (if added) handles replenishing, bussing, and guest support.

Step 7
Cleanup & Leftovers
At docking, we tidy service areas, pack safe leftovers with labels, and remove rentals. A quick post-charter check confirms youβre happy and notes preferences for next time.
