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

  • 2️⃣ Yacht & layout recommendations — we present curated wedding-ready yachts with capacities, deck layouts & sample setups.
  • 3️⃣ Timeline & route design — ceremony start time, golden-hour photos, dinner, dancing and the best route for views & comfort.
  • 4️⃣ Catering & bar options — from simple buffets to elevated plated menus, premium bar & signature cocktails.
  • 5️⃣ Contracts, deposits & vendor coordination — e-sign documents, lock in your date and align with planners, photographers & DJs.
  • 6️⃣ Day-of execution — our team supports boarding, ceremony logistics, run-of-show and vendor arrivals so you can focus on getting married.

Working with a wedding planner or coordinator? Loop them into the conversation and we’ll handle the yacht logistics while they handle the rest.

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.”

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

Miami Wedding Yacht Rentals — Frequently Asked Questions

Planning a wedding yacht rental in Miami? These FAQs cover the best months and days to get married on the water, ceremony & sunset timing, yacht sizes, pricing, routes, and what to expect on board so you can design a smooth, guest-friendly celebration.

📆

What is the best time of year for a yacht wedding in Miami?

🔗
Yacht weddings in Miami run all year, but most couples love the dry season from November to April for cooler evenings, lower humidity, and clearer skies. Late spring and early summer feel more tropical and warm on the water, which is great if you want swimming or sandbar stops. Peak hurricane season is August–October, so it’s still possible, but you should pay closer attention to weather policies and travel insurance.

What time should my Miami yacht wedding start for sunset photos?

🔗
The sweet spot is to plan your ceremony or main photo session during golden hour, which is the 60–90 minutes before sunset. In practice, that usually means:

• Boarding 45–60 minutes before golden hour so guests can arrive, get settled, and grab a welcome drink.
• Starting the ceremony 20–40 minutes after departure, once you’re in position with the skyline or open bay behind you.
• Using the 15–30 minutes after the ceremony for portraits as the sky changes color, then transitioning into reception vibes.

Your ideal timing depends on the month and your photographer; we’ll help you match your charter start time to the sunset for your exact date.
🕒

How long should a wedding yacht charter be?

🔗
For most couples, a 4–6 hour wedding yacht charter feels just right. That allows for:

Arrival & boarding
Ceremony on board or at anchor
Sunset photos & cocktail hour
Dinner, speeches, and dancing

For elopements or micro-weddings, a 3–4 hour charter can work if you keep the timeline tight and focus on ceremony, photos, and a celebratory cruise.
📅

Which days are best for a yacht wedding in Miami?

🔗
You can host a Miami yacht wedding any day of the week. If you want the classic experience, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are the most popular and book first. If you prefer better rates, more availability, and fewer crowds at the marina, consider a Monday–Thursday yacht wedding or sunset elopement.
💵

How much do wedding yacht rentals cost in Miami?

🔗
Pricing depends on yacht size, guest count, charter length, date, and inclusions. Intimate yacht elopements and micro-weddings can start in the lower thousands, while full-boat buyouts for large groups with elevated décor, catering, and bar packages can move into the higher thousands per event.

With Feeling Yachty, we focus on clear, “all yacht fees included” pricing so you know what’s covered on the yacht side and what’s optional (like décor, bar, and catering) before you sign.
🌦️

What happens if it rains on my yacht wedding?

🔗
Captains and planners keep a close eye on marine weather and radar before your yacht wedding. Light rain or clouds don’t usually stop the charter and can still make for beautiful, moody photos. If conditions become unsafe (strong winds, lightning, or storms), your event may be delayed, adjusted, moved under cover, or rescheduled according to the yacht’s weather policy.

For peace of mind, review the weather, rescheduling, and cancellation terms in your contract and talk to your planner about a Plan B for ceremony location and décor.
👗

What should we wear and bring for a Miami yacht wedding?

🔗
Think elegant but practical. Light fabrics like chiffon and linen move beautifully in the breeze and photograph well. For footwear, opt for block heels, wedges, sandals, or dressy flats—stilettos and super-hard soles are not ideal on a yacht deck.

Bring a light layer for the evening breeze, and remind guests to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and any medications they may need. Photographers will love if you have a small kit with touch-up makeup, blotting papers, and a lint roller on board.
🌇

What are the best views and routes for a yacht wedding in Miami?

🔗
Many couples choose routes that show off the Miami skyline, Brickell, Fisher Island, Star Island, Miami Beach, and Biscayne Bay. A popular option is to hold the ceremony with the skyline or open bay as your backdrop, then cruise under bridges and past waterfront mansions as the sunset and city lights shift the mood into reception mode.

Your exact route depends on departure marina, yacht size, timing, tides, and weather. We’ll help you choose options that work with your guest count and style.
👥

Is a yacht wedding in Miami private or shared with other groups?

🔗
Wedding yacht rentals with Feeling Yachty are private charters. The boat is reserved just for you and your invited guests. In a bareboat setup, you select your licensed captain and crew from an approved roster, and there are no unrelated groups on board.

If you’re looking for a per-ticket celebration cruise instead of a private wedding, that’s a different product—typically a larger sightseeing boat or party cruise where multiple groups share the vessel.

What’s included in a wedding yacht rental, and what costs extra?

🔗
Inclusions vary by yacht, but you’ll typically see the vessel itself, standard safety equipment, basic cleaning, sound system, and ice/water included on the yacht side. Extras can include licensed captain and crew, wedding planning support, catering, bar service, DJ or live music, décor, florals, photography/videography, cake, and gratuity.

Feeling Yachty focuses on clear “all yacht fees included” quotes so you can see exactly what’s covered on the yacht and where you can customize with your own vendors or add-on services.
📆

How far in advance should I book a wedding yacht in Miami?

🔗
For prime dates—Saturdays, holiday weekends, and peak season evenings—we recommend booking your Miami wedding yacht 4–9+ months in advance. Smaller weekday elopements can sometimes be planned in as little as 4–8 weeks, but earlier is always better if you want your first-choice yacht, time slot, and route.
