Opus By Feeling Yachty — Opus 1 Miami Luxury Yacht Events 🛥️

Opus 1 Miami is a 120-ft luxury floating venue — a tri-level event yacht designed for weddings, corporate galas, and private celebrations on the water.

She features indoor, climate-controlled salons, open-air decks with skyline views, professional sound, and flexible layouts so you can host everything from a seated dinner to a cocktail-style reception with dancing.

Yes. Opus 1 Miami operates as a commercial, USCG-inspected passenger vessel with a Certificate of Inspection (COI) that sets the maximum number of passengers, required crew, and safety standards for every departure.

Your charter runs as a fully licensed event cruise, not an informal “party boat.” That means documented safety gear, qualified crew, and operating procedures that are built around guest safety and compliance.

All voyages are run by a USCG-licensed master captain with a professional crew trained in passenger safety, docking, and emergency procedures.

• Licensed officers & deck crew appropriate to the COI
• Commercial marine insurance for the vessel and operations
• Participation in a USCG-approved drug & alcohol testing program

The captain has final authority over the vessel and will always prioritize safe operation over speed or route.

Opus 1 Miami carries the USCG-required safety equipment for her passenger capacity, including:

• U.S. Coast Guard–approved life jackets for every guest (plus child sizes)
• Life rafts or additional flotation appropriate to the route and capacity
• Fire detection and suppression systems in machinery and galley spaces
• Emergency lighting, alarms, and exits clearly marked throughout the vessel
• Marine VHF radios and navigation electronics on the bridge

Before departure, crew provide a brief safety orientation covering muster areas, life jackets, and basic “do’s and don’ts” for your group.

Opus 1 Miami is engineered as a large-capacity event yacht and is typically cleared to host up to 300 guests for most charters, subject to the vessel’s Certificate of Inspection and your specific layout.

Final capacity can vary based on whether you choose plated dinners, buffet service, band or DJ stage, ceremony space, photo installations, or other décor. We’ll confirm an exact headcount limit during your proposal and contract.

Opus 1 Miami is ideal for full-scale events that feel like a private venue on the water, including:

• Weddings & receptions (ceremony + cocktail hour + dinner + dancing)
• Corporate galas, award nights, launch events, and holiday parties
• Private celebrations like milestone birthdays, quinceañeras, and anniversaries

We can configure decks for cocktail-style mingling, seated dinners, dance floor, step-and-repeat areas, brand activations, and more.

As a 120-ft, multi-deck vessel, Opus 1 Miami is wide and stable for typical harbor and bay cruising. Most guests find movement on board similar to a gently moving building rather than a small boat.

The main deck is designed with wide walkways, sturdy railings, and minimal steps. However, access to some upper and lower decks may require using stairs, and full ADA-style elevator access is limited.

If you have guests with mobility needs, let us know in advance so we can plan the best boarding point, seating, and deck usage for them.

Yes — events on Opus 1 Miami are set up like a professional venue with licensed bartenders and vetted vendors.

• Bar service is typically handled by licensed, insured bartending teams.
• Catering is available through preferred caterers familiar with the vessel’s galley and timing.
• Outside vendors (DJ, décor, photo, etc.) are welcome with certificate of insurance and prior approval.

Because Opus 1 operates as a commercial passenger vessel, there are rules around BYOB and alcohol handling. We’ll review what’s allowed when we build your proposal.

Your captain constantly monitors weather radar, wind, and tides. If conditions are unsafe or out of COI limits, the vessel may:

• Adjust the route or speed
• Delay departure or remain dockside temporarily
• Convert to a dockside event or reschedule per your contract terms

The captain’s decision is always made with guest safety and regulatory compliance as the top priority.

We typically schedule a 30–45 minute boarding window before your cruise time so guests can check in, take photos, and get settled.

Exact instructions will be in your confirmation, but most events follow this pattern:

• Arrive at the marina at least 15–20 minutes before boarding begins.
• Follow signage and staff to the Opus 1 Miami boarding area.
• Have any required IDs or guest lists ready for check-in.

Once the captain is cleared to go, the vessel departs on schedule, so encourage guests to arrive early rather than just on time.
