Eighteen yachts berthed at Miami Beach Marina, 300 Alton Road — the marina at the southern tip of South Beach, five minutes from Ocean Drive. Star Island is ten minutes out. The sandbar is twenty. Prices from $1,800 for four hours, captain and fuel included, and you can check any date right now.
300 Alton Road, Miami Beach. It sits at the bottom end of South Beach where Alton Road runs out at the water, next to Monty's. From Ocean Drive or Lincoln Road it is a five-minute drive or a ten-dollar rideshare.
Parking is paid, on site, and fills up on weekends — if you are a group of ten, two cars is easier than five. Your confirmation gives you the exact slip number, and the crew will be on deck waiting. Arrive fifteen minutes before your start time so the charter clock does not start while you are still finding the dock.
Boarding here is the reason South Beach is the easiest departure point in Miami: you are already where everybody wants to be. Breakfast on Lincoln Road, four hours on the water, dinner on Ocean Drive, without crossing a causeway.
Straight out of the marina and into Government Cut, then left. The mansions run along both sides and the captain will tell you who owns what. This is where the group photos happen.
Shallow, warm, waist-deep water where the yacht anchors and the floating mat comes out. Most four-hour charters spend an hour or more here. On a Sunday you will be among a hundred other boats, which is either the appeal or the reason to go on a Tuesday.
Two minutes from the marina, past the cruise terminals and the pilot boats. Worth doing on the way back in when the light is low.
Through Government Cut and out. Flat mornings are best; by mid-afternoon it gets lively, which some groups love and others regret. Ask the captain on the day.
Every one of these departs from 300 Alton Road. Tap the heart to save the ones you like, then send the shortlist to whoever you are planning with.

From $1,800 for four hours on a 48-foot yacht up to $27,000 for a full day on the 120' Custom Line. Most South Beach groups book between $2,600 and $5,300, which covers the 62 to 80 foot range. Every price is published on the yacht's own page.
Around 20 to 30 minutes to Nixon Sandbar, depending on your yacht and the water. Star Island and Fisher Island are closer still, roughly 10 minutes out of the marina, so a four-hour charter comfortably covers both.
Thirteen is the legal maximum for this class of charter, on every yacht regardless of size. Larger groups can be split across two yachts tied together at the sandbar.
Yes, on every charter. Most South Beach yachts also include a steward, and the largest include two or three crew. You never need a boating licence.
Late morning gives you calm water for the sandbar and the whole afternoon. Sunset departures are the most requested — you cruise back past the South Beach skyline as it lights up, and they book out first on weekends.
Yes. Most groups bring their own, and we can arrange catering, a bar package or a private chef instead. Tell your agent when you book.
Gratuity is not included and runs 15 to 20 percent of the charter price, paid at the end of the day. It goes directly to the captain and crew.
