Yacht charters in Miami, done properly.
Our home port. The fleet lives here, the crew know every sandbar, and the skyline never gets old.
Intro · Miami
Miami is home water for Global Yachts Network. From Miami Beach, our day yacht charters are built around the city at its best — calm mornings, open water, sandbars, waterfront lunch stops and the skyline at golden hour. Choose four, six or eight hours on the water, with every detail handled by an experienced crew and the itinerary adjusted around weather, tide and how you want the day to unfold.
For guests looking to go farther, Miami is also the starting point for term charters throughout South Florida and across to the Bahamas. Spend several days aboard, moving at your own pace between anchorages, islands and waterfront destinations while the crew manages navigation, provisioning and logistics.
Whether it is one afternoon or several days away, the approach stays the same: the right yacht, the right crew, and a charter planned properly from the start.

Quieter water off Nixon Beach for paddleboards, a swim, or nothing at all.

When to go
Miami charters run year-round. November through April is prime — dry, 75–85°F, glassy mornings. Summer brings warm water and afternoon storms that pass as fast as they arrive; we plan around them, and morning departures are at their best. June to November is hurricane season: we monitor it professionally and reschedule without drama when the weather says so.
