The 10 Yacht Charters in Miami Beach That Earn Their Price

1.50ft Luxury Yacht Tour in Miami Beach Captain, Fun & Party!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 45 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) Our pick

Take a private yacht from North Miami Beach for about two hours with up to 13 people. Expect waterfront homes, South Beach views, swimming, a floating mat, snorkeling gear, and a captain such as Markus, Peter, or Juan. Confirm the boat, captain, fuel, and dock fees before paying.

“Markus was the captain we chose, he was awesome. I would pick him over again. As far as the boat company Dolphin Water sports, they contacted me the day before after the free cancellation window had closed saying they sent me contracts for the incorrect boat. There is no phone number to contact so you’re stuck trying to navigate the process via text. It made me super uneasy and apprehensive but what choice did I have since they sent it the day before. Keep in mind I had booked the boat weeks in advance. I won’t reuse this company.”

7.52′ Yacht Rental in Miami Beach with Experienced Captain

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 7 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Spend about four hours aboard a private 52-foot yacht from Miami Beach, with a captain and mate guiding you around Biscayne Bay. Expect island views, sandbars, swimming, snorkeling, wildlife spotting, and skyline views. Captain Oscar has received especially warm praise, though captain assignment may vary.

“The yacht rental was not exactly what was advertised. The title was 52’ Yacht with experienced Captain. We found out after in small print it said you have to pay for the captain separately. The boat is old and not clean. The front has no cushions so it’s not very comfortable. We were a small group and there was not enough comfortable seating for everyone on the outside of the boat. We had a great day because the Captain and mate were great. But I wouldn’t go back on this particular Yacht. We like the sun and the only comfortable seating was covered.”
