Who our wedding yacht rentals in Miami are for +
Our wedding yacht rentals in Miami are built for couples who want a waterfront experience without a traditional ballroom — or who want the yacht to complement their on-land venue.
- 💍 Couples planning a full yacht wedding — ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all on board.
- 🌅 Micro-weddings & elopements with 10–40 guests who want an intimate ceremony on the water.
- 🥂 Welcome parties & rehearsal dinners for out-of-town guests arriving in Miami or Miami Beach.
- 🎉 Post-ceremony “just married” cruises — move your guests from the ceremony site onto a yacht for sunset cocktails.
- 👨👩👧👦 Family-forward celebrations that need a balance of romantic, elegant and fun (space for kids, elders & dancing).
- 🏝️ Destination weddings where the yacht is the main “wow” moment of the entire Miami trip.
Types of wedding yacht events we host in Miami +
Whether you’re picturing a sunset ceremony, elegant dinner reception or late-night party on the water, we’ll line up the right yacht and layout for your event.
- 🌅 Ceremony & cocktail cruise — onboard ceremony, followed by passed hors d’oeuvres, photos and a scenic Miami skyline route.
- 🍽️ Reception & seated dinner — buffet or plated meal, toasts, first dance, open bar and dance floor under the stars.
- 🥂 Welcome cruise or rehearsal dinner — relaxed, social yacht night that introduces guests to Miami from the water.
- 🎊 After-party yacht — end your ballroom reception and board a yacht for a late-night DJ, bar & skyline views.
- 💗 Elopement & micro-weddings — intimate vows with your closest people, then champagne, cake and a sunset cruise.
- 📸 Wedding photos & content cruises — timeline built specifically around portraits, video and first-look moments.
Already booked a hotel or venue on land? We’ll help your yacht plans snap into your existing wedding timeline instead of competing with it.
How wedding planning works with Feeling Yachty +

How the Miami Wedding Yacht Rental Process Works
Step-by-step support for your Miami wedding on a yacht—from date and guest count to yacht selection, timeline, captain/crew, and vendors, with all yacht fees clear and documented before you say “I do.”
-
Step 1
Date, Guest Count & Budget
#We start with your wedding date, guest count, preferred marina, and whether you want a ceremony at sea, reception-only, elopement, or micro-wedding.
- Lead time: 30–90 days is ideal; we can help with rush weddings when yachts are available.
- Guest count: we match you to yachts that meet USCG passenger limits and still feel comfortable.
- Timing: daytime, sunset, or city-lights cruise blocks with boarding and docking windows built in.
-
Step 2
Choose Your Wedding Yacht & Layout
#We shortlist wedding-ready yachts based on marina, size, deck layout, indoor A/C space, and budget, then review photos and suggested layouts so you can picture your ceremony and reception on board.
We map where you’ll say “I do”, toast, dine, and dance so the flow feels natural and guests aren’t squeezed on one deck.
-
Step 3
Ceremony, Reception & Timeline
#- Elopement & Micro-Wedding: 2–3 hours, ceremony at sea + champagne cruise.
- Ceremony + Reception: 4–5 hours for vows, photos, dinner, and dancing on board.
- Evening Reception Only: 3–4 hours around sunset and city-lights skyline.
- Weekend Celebration: welcome cruise, wedding day, and next-day brunch options.
Every timeline includes buffer for boarding, vendor setup, photos, and a calm moment together before guests board.
-
Step 4
Logistics, Safety & Bareboat Rules
#We coordinate with your captain/crew and planner so boarding, décor, and catering are seaworthy and aligned with USCG bareboat guidelines for private yacht charters.
- Review boarding times, marina access, parking, and return window.
- Confirm USCG passenger limits, seating, and safe movement on deck in formalwear.
- Clarify where décor, rentals, and catering can be placed without blocking safety gear or walkways.
-
Step 5
Contract, Bareboat & Payment
#You receive a clear wedding yacht summary with yacht details, charter hours, marina, and bareboat terms plus what’s included on the yacht side. Pricing is all-fees-included for the yacht, with gratuity optional.
Deposits, remaining balance, and captain/crew payments are documented so you always know who you’re paying and when.
-
Step 6
Captain, Crew & Vendor Coordination
#Your captain and crew are confirmed via group text with Feeling Yachty looped in. We share key details with your planner, photographer, videographer, DJ, and caterer so everyone knows arrival times, load-in route, and dock.
-
Step 7
Wedding Day On Board
#You arrive at the marina, board with your wedding party, and let the crew handle lines, safety briefings, and timing. We follow the agreed ceremony and reception timeline and adjust for wind, weather, and traffic on the water.
-
Step 8
After-Event Wrap & Next Steps
#We return to the dock, help guests disembark safely, and coordinate vendor breakdown. Any remaining yacht balance and crew gratuities are handled quickly so you can head to the after-party, hotel, or next-day brunch without loose ends.
Pro Tips for Miami Wedding Yacht Rentals
- Keep the guest list focused so everyone has space to see the ceremony, mingle, and move comfortably on deck.
- Choose shoes and attire that work with steps and decks: block heels, wedges, flats, or barefoot-friendly moments.
- Send guests a simple “wedding on a yacht” info sheet with dock pin, parking details, and firm departure time—boats can’t wait for late arrivals.
Wedding Yacht Departure & Boarding in Miami
Marina Check-In · Parking · Guest Arrival Timing

For directions, open Google Maps and navigate to the marina’s main entrance, then set your rideshare pin to “Marina Main Gate” or “Visitor Drop-Off”.
