Day charters

Day charters

A single day. Done properly.

Day charters

A day on the water should feel effortless. Departure on time. A captain who knows the coast. A vessel that has been prepared for the people on it, not the next group after them. We run day charters out of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and the Bahamas — and we treat them with the same care as a week in the Mediterranean.

Itineraries

A few ideas, none of them scripted.

  1. 01 · 6–8 hours

    Miami to Key Biscayne

    Departure from Miami Beach Marina. Anchor off Nixon Beach for swimming, a quiet lunch service on board, return at golden hour.

  2. 02 · Full day

    Fort Lauderdale to Bimini

    An early departure across the Gulf Stream. Lunch ashore at the Hilton Bimini or a private beach setup. Clear-water swimming, sandbars, home by dusk.

  3. 03 · 5–7 hours

    Stiltsville & the sandbars

    A South Florida classic. Stiltsville, Boca Chita, the sandbar at Elliott Key. Best on a weekday — quieter, cleaner water.

  4. 04 · 3 hours

    Sunset cruise

    Departure at the hour before sunset. Hors d'oeuvres and a curated wine list, ocean side, returning under the lights of the skyline.

The fleet

Vessels selected, not aggregated.

Our day-charter fleet sits between 50 and 110 feet — a mix of Italian motoryachts, sportfishers, and a handful of sailing yachts for those who prefer wind to engines. Each one is captained by someone we know personally.

Questions we get

Day charters, answered

  • How much does a day charter cost?

    Starting rates for each vessel are listed on its fleet page — most day charters begin between $2,000 and $6,500 for four hours, with superyachts quoted from $22,000. Your final quote is personal: it reflects the vessel, duration, season, and any catering or extras, and a specialist confirms it in one conversation.

  • How long is a day charter?

    Four, six, or eight hours, plus sunset runs. Most groups find six hours the sweet spot — sandbar, lunch at anchor, and the skyline on the way home.

  • What's included?

    Captain and crew, fuel for the standard itinerary, water toys, ice and soft drinks. Catering, chef service, and photography arranged on request.

  • Where do we depart from?

    Miami Beach Marina for most vessels — the exact slip comes with your confirmation.
