More about planning your Miami yacht rental
Where should you start?
New to yacht renting: the introduction to yacht renting in Miami, then the step-by-step guide. Ready to book: the questions to ask and the checklist. Watching the budget: Miami yacht rental tips on money and etiquette and Miami yacht rental prices.
How much does a Miami yacht charter cost?
Current Miami fleet packages start at $575 for 2 hours; the lowest published four-hour package is $775. Those offers may be from different yachts and are not a quote for a specific guest count or date. The bands for every size are on Miami yacht rental prices.
Miami yacht tips: questions

Ask the team anything
Send the date, the group and your question, and the team answers with the boats open for that day.
How to use these guides
Each guide answers one question and stops there, so a first-time guest does not have to read the whole site to book. Start with the step-by-step if you have never chartered, the checklist in the week before, and what to bring the night before. The prices named in every guide are the same bands as the boat cards: from $675 for three hours on a boat under 40 ft, with the captain, the crew and the fuel included, and up to 13 guests on a private yacht. A larger group is an inspected event yacht, not a private boat with the headcount ignored. The guides sit under Miami yacht rentals, which is where the boats themselves are chosen.
