  • A light layer for the ride back at sunset

Private boat rental in Miami Beach: your questions

How much does a private boat tour in Miami Beach cost?

Private boat rentals start at $200 per hour with a 2-hour minimum, so a 2-hour trip on the 25 ft Nautic Star costs $400. Larger boats cost $250, $400 or $500 per hour, and the 74 ft Sunseeker superyacht starts at $3,000 for 4 hours. Prices are per boat, not per person.

What is included in the price?

A licensed captain, fuel, water, ice, a cooler, life jackets and Bluetooth speakers are included in the boat rate. There are no fuel surcharges. A floating mat for sandbar stops is available on request.

Is the boat shared with other groups?

No. Every charter is private. The whole boat and the captain are yours for the full trip, and we never combine bookings.

How many people can come on a private boat tour?

The Nautic Star holds up to 8 guests, the Sea Ray 29 up to 10, and the Axopar 38, Pardo 40 and Sunseeker 74 up to 13. Children count as one guest. The price is per boat, so a full boat is the best value per person.

Where do the boat tours depart from?

Every boat, from the Nautic Star to the Sunseeker 74, departs from the same dock: 2400 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140. We confirm the exact slip when you book.

Do the captains speak French?

Yes. Our captains are USCG-licensed and speak English, Spanish and French. Tell us your preferred language when you book.

Can we bring food and drinks on board?

Yes. You can bring your own food and drinks, and there is cooler space on board. We provide ice, water and soda. We can also help with catering on request.

How do I book and how much is the deposit?

Send your date, group size and preferred boat by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We confirm the same day. A $100 deposit secures your booking and the balance is paid on the day of the trip.

Can I cancel my boat rental?

Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. If the captain cancels because of storms or unsafe conditions, you can reschedule or receive a full refund.

Can I book a boat in Miami Beach at the last minute?

Often yes, because we confirm bookings the same day. Weekends, holidays and sunset slots fill quickly, so book a few days ahead when you can.
