What Makes the Price Go Up (or Down)
Within each size bracket, four things move the number most:
Size & age of the yacht — a brand-new 60-footer with a flybridge and water toys sits at the top of its bracket; a classic cruiser sits at the bottom. Duration — longer is better value. Across our fleet, 8 hours typically costs only about 60–70% more than 4 hours — nearly double the time for far less than double the price. Dates — holiday weekends (July 4th, Memorial Day, New Year's Eve) and event weeks (F1, Art Basel, spring break) sell out first and command premium rates. Weekdays are the quiet bargain. Add-ons — private chefs, catering, jet skis, DJs and photographers are optional extras, priced clearly before you book. The base charter never requires them.
Sample Budgets — What Your Group Can Get
Around $1,000–$1,500: a sleek 27–39 ft day boat for up to 10–13 guests — 4 hours of sandbar, skyline and swim stops. The perfect first charter. Around $2,000–$3,500: a 50–65 ft motor yacht — the Miami classic for birthdays and bachelorettes, with room for the whole group, a flybridge and a proper sound system. $5,000 and up: the 80+ ft range — multiple decks, jacuzzis, full crews, and the kind of arrival people remember. This is event territory: corporate charters, milestone parties, wow-factor proposals.
How to Pay Less for the Same Boat
1. Go weekday. Monday to Thursday charters are the best-kept secret on Biscayne Bay — same yacht, same water, calmer anchorages. 2. Book longer, not twice. If you're debating 4 vs 6 vs 8 hours, the per-hour math almost always favors the longer trip. 3. Reserve holidays early. Premium dates don't get cheaper as they approach — they sell out. Early birds get both the boat and the better rate. 4. Pay smart. Zelle and Apple Pay carry no processing fee — an instant 4% saving versus card.
How Booking Works
1. Browse the fleet. Every yacht on our fleet page shows its real price for 4, 6 and 8 hours — filter by budget, size or location. 2. Send an instant request. Pick your date and time; our agent confirms availability fast — usually within the hour. 3. Lock it in. A 50% deposit secures your date; the balance is due 24 hours before you step aboard. Then the only thing left to decide is the playlist.
