Florida Yacht Charter Guide

Florida yacht charters have a spectacular array of unique destinations for both sailing yachts and motor yachts, mega yachts and crewed boats; from Miami, Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale to the scattered islands of the Florida Keys and the Bahamas where fishing and snorkelling spots are myriad.

Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, there are also 30,000 lakes within the state and both locals and businesses have a strong attachment to hobbies involving the water: Jet skis, water skis and kite surfers are familiar sights along the beaches while Scuba diving schools use the gentle Gulf Stream currents to teach beginners drift diving. Florida yacht charterer itineraries can follow the inter-coastal highway and select from numerous seaside towns, great secluded anchorages, excellent marina facilities and pristine beaches that stretch for miles.

To the northeast Jacksonville and Daytona Beach are both popular areas for fishing and whale watching, with the latter also home to the Daytona 500 NASCAR race with free concerts throughout the summer.

Miami is a desirable cosmopolitan destination where guests can spend hours in luxury boutiques, galleries and museums, savouring first-class fine dining or unwinding on the soft sandy beaches that stretch up the coast past Hollywood. Find your own secluded fishing and sunbathing spot among the Florida Keys, which boast a wide variety of fish in crystal clear water.

Dolphins are often observed within the warm waters around St. Petersburg, which offers quiet cruising in protected areas and at night the city has a thriving nightlife with restaurants, bars and live music. Sunsets over the ocean in Florida are often a powerful event that attracts many people to the shoreline.

The Florida Yachting Season:

Florida is ideal for yacht charters year round, however from late July to early October the east coast of America and the Bahamas can be prone to hurricanes and therefore late spring/early summer or the winter holidays prove popular times to visit. As one of the largest yacht charter grounds, there is a massive assortment of yacht charters available in Florida, including motor yachts, sailing yachts, crewed yachts, luxury catamarans and of course superyacht charters. Find a luxury charter to suit you and your group and contact CharterWorld.

The Cost to Charter a Yacht in Florida:

The price of a yacht charter in Florida varies from $24,500 USD per week plus expenses to more than $1,000,000 USD per week for a mega yacht, depending upon the size of yacht chosen and it’s on board facilities. Expenses such as fuel, food and drinks are paid in advance as an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) which usually comes to 30% of the charter price depending on how much is spent. All-inclusive yacht charters are also available and cost between $ 20,000 USD and $ 50,000 USD per week. You can browse the latest Florida yacht charter special offers here , see a price list for American yachts here , or contact the expert brokers at CharterWorld directly for more information.

10 of the Best Florida Yacht Charter Destinations

When the Caribbean and Bahamas are so close Florida can be overlooked as a luxury yacht charter destination, yet the region is home to many exemplary fishing grounds while turtles, dolphins and manatees swim close to the pristine beaches.

Fort Lauderdale and Miami have both established themselves among the yachting community and those in the know don't need to stray far from the mainland for a tropical paradise or high-end shopping opportunities. Read on to discover 10 fantastic locations to visit within the Florida charter grounds that are easy to incorporate into a charter itinerary designed for everyone in your group.

1. Fort Lauderdale

Incredible beaches, impressive art galleries and the top-rated marina and yachting club draw luxury yacht charter groups year after year to Fort Lauderdale. Located directly west of the Bahamas, the airport also provides quick and efficient connections to international flights. Visitors can easily fill a day indulging in high-end shopping, savouring the high quality cuisine or sitting out in the sunshine and fishing in the bay.

If you visit in late October/early November, head to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show to see the industry's latest innovations and stunning superyachts.

The silky coast along South Beach is the place to be for sunbathing and people-watching, playing horse polo, jetting along on your motorised water toys or partying the night away.

The coastal clubs and bars cater to all tastes, from upbeat and noisy to laid back and sophisticated, with romantic art deco architecture along the streets. Holidaymakers should stop by at the famous Nikki Beach Club to experience for themselves the food, drinks and atmosphere that gives this place such a stellar reputation.

3. Key West

Among the Florida Keys, Key West has an abundance of islands to explore and the shallow water around the beaches and archipelagos is perfect for younger children to practise their snorkelling and kayaking. A visit on land is a must to see the Earnest Hemingway Home and Museum, the Audubon House & Tropical Gardens and the winter home of President Harry S. Truman, set within the picturesque and verdant town.

4. Key Largo

Key Largo is excellent for Scuba divers for all ability levels with gentle drift diving in the Gulf Stream for beginners, and wreck dives and sites such as Christ of the Abyss for the more experienced. Snorkelers also have the opportunity to see and swim with sea turtles, manatees and whales at such locations as the Key Largo Undersee Park.

5. Ten Thousand Islands

Only Marco Island is inhabited amongst the Ten Thousand Islands at the south-western tip of Florida, leaving an abundance of untouched verdant isles to discover by paddleboard or kayak. Snorkel with dolphins and manatee within this national wildlife refuge, then use the fine grain beaches to rest and recuperate before a romantic sunset meal at your secluded retreat.

6. Clearwater

The powder-soft white sand beach of Clearwater might be where you want to spend your whole holiday, but the area has a myriad more sights and activities to explore: Swim with dolphins, windsurf or learn how to jet ski in the crystal clear waters, then join the parties in the local bars or host your own aboard your superyacht.

Fishing is particularly good in the Gulf Stream off the coast, and charter guests can take an afternoon to laze in the sunshine while catching lunch.

7. Sarasota

The gentle waves and shallow water at Lido Key Beach make this stretch of coast a hit with young families, while those looking for more privacy for a romantic candlelit meal have Passage Key and Egmont Key State Park. Snorkel, Scuba dive and kayak through mangroves and watch schools of fish swimming beneath your group.

As a town with a burgeoning artists' community, a visit to Sarasota will be filled with crafts and opportunities to find statement pieces for your home and that memorable souvenir of your trip.

8. Sanibel Island

Nature lovers will feel reinvigorated on Sanibel Island, where the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge covers half of the land and children will be enthralled by the 250 different kinds of shells washed ashore at Sanibel Beach.

Shop at the scenic Periwinkle Place before returning to the coast to watch a captivating sunset, then party the night away on you sundeck and enjoy a cocktail under the stars.

9. Captiva Island

North of Sanibel Island, the western beaches continue and visitors can stroll along the sands for miles, snorkel with fish and other friendly sea creatures or zip through the water with the Seabobs and jet skis from the water toys collection on board. 

There is little to do but relax and play games with family and friends - a perfect escape for quality time together after visiting towns bursting with land-based attractions.

As the name suggests, this town takes its architectural inspiration from Italy and caters to the luxury lifestyle with high-end shops, golf courses and miles of white sand beach where the group can play games or take a stroll along the pier.

Fishing and dolphin-spotting are common pastimes, and attractions such as The Revs Institute for classic cars ensure that guests have something to do off their luxury yacht even on rainy days or during periods of intense heat.

Florida Yachting Season: mid-November through mid-July

Thanks to its sub-tropical climate, Florida yacht charters are perfect year-round. The high season for boat rentals runs from mid-November to mid-July, with peak season around New Year’s and Spring Break.

Winter draws more visitors to Florida’s sunny shores, while the shoulder seasons in fall and spring offer great weather and fewer tourists.

Cruising Conditions

South Florida’s sub-tropical climate is known for its mild winters and hot summers. In winter, cruising conditions are ideal. Cooling trade blow consistently, while temperatures hover in the mid-70s to low-80s. Winter in Miami also sees fewer days with rain than summer or early fall.

In spring and fall, temperatures are comfortable during the morning and evening but can climb into the mid-80s. The wind blows consistently, although rain is more frequent. From June through September, temperatures climb into the 90s, with higher humidity.

How much is it to rent a yacht in Florida?

The cost to charter a yacht in Florida – prices for yacht charters in Florida vary depending on the size and type of the yacht as well as available amenities and features. For $22,000, you can charter a 75-foot motor yacht that sleeps six guests in three cabins, while $170,000 will get you a 144-foot superyacht that sleeps twelve guests and features an elevator.

Several factors come into play when considering the cost of charting a yacht in Florida, including the year that the boat was built, the builder, and the selection of water toys available. The reputation of a boat or celebrity owners could also come into play when determining charter rates. Another detail to take into account is when you wish to book your charter as prices increase during the high season and decrease during the low season.

When booking your charter vacation, be sure to ask if the rate is all-inclusive or if there will be additional expenses, and don’t forget to account for a gratuity for your crew.

Visit art galleries supporting the international art fair, Art Basel, which works in collaboration with the host city’s local institutions. The festival is in early December and is fantastic, otherwise the galleries will happily satisfy your interest in adding to your private collection.

After a sizzling night, the sounds of the morning are quiet with a mellow vibe in the air and Cuban coffee brewing. Take a morning stroll on the beach, spend the afternoon exploring the design district or Wynwood. Give yourself two nights in Miami to bask in the unique international vibe.

About an hour south of Miami, yet a world away is, are the Florida Keys. This is where the sea, and all it has to offer, is the main focus. The Keys have a subtropical climate with warm, balmy temperatures year-round, and even January is characterized by high temps in the 70s and clear blue skies.

Known as the dive capital of the world, this is the place to get back to nature and disconnect from the hustle. Snorkel, dive, swim, fish or lose the time by spending a day at a beach bar with your feet in the sand. Have your crew pack you a picnic on the beach, make use of the tender and explore the nooks of the islands. Keep traveling south and see why Ernest Hemingway made his home in Key West, the Southernmost Point in the USA. Visit Mallory Square for the sunset and hear the applaud of the cheering crowd as the last of the sun slips away and Duval Street comes alive.

Seventy miles west, a water enthusiast delight, is the Dry Tortugas National Park. Accessible only by boat or sea plane, the magnificent Fort Jefferson awaits you surrounded by coral reefs, fresh cool blue waters and an abundant bird assortment, this stop is home to history and natural wonders above and below the water’s surface. This is a wonderful end of itinerary for your east coast of Florida yacht charter. As you return to your charter yacht from a memorable adventure, be prepared to enjoy the attention to detail your yacht crew specializes in. This is when your yacht chef truly delights as you have worked up an appetite from excursions and are welcomed back on the yacht with cocktails and a promise of unique gastronomical adventures.

When you work with one of our charter specialists, they will arrange the ideal and bespoke charter yacht experience for you. Whether you prefer to begin in Palm Beach, with its vast swaying palms, notable shopping on Worth Avenue, exquisite dining at any award winning, chef owned and operated restaurant or…

Perhaps you would like to explore the West Coast of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico on your luxury yacht charter vacation. Naples, shop, dine or take your chance at dolphin sightings, take in show at the theatre or select from one of the many golf courses. Visit Naples’ neighbor, Fort Myers and tour one of the many historical estates or the summer homes of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, take the boat to Sanibel Island or kayak the mangroves. It’s a different change of pace on the west coast and it’ll leave you feeling connected with yourself, your friends and family.

Disembarking and traveling home is easy with several national and private airports. Cheeks sun kissed, spirit cleansed, the coastline of Florida will call you back again for your next charter. Want more? Visit Fort Lauderdale on first weekend of November each year for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show where hundreds of yachts are showcased for sale and charter. We welcome you with open arms!

Your total budget for a sailing trip in Florida depends on many factors such as: trip duration, if captain and crew are included in the price or their cost have to be paid separately, fuel cost (which could be significantly higher on a motorboat compared to a sailboat) and other extras you choose to customize your experience by boat charter in Florida.

Do I need a licence to rent a yacht in Florida on Sailo?

No, you do not need a license to rent a boat in Florida on Sailo as long as you are renting a boat with a captain included. There are two types of boat rentals and yacht charters available on our website: bareboat and captained charters. If you rent a bareboat yacht, then your charter comes without any crew, and you or someone in your group will need a license. The boat owner will require you to upload the boating resume or license of the person who will drive the boat. Most of our boat owners might also like to test your boating skills before you take your bareboat charter out on the water. When you charter a yacht with a captain included or add the captain and/or crew as an extra to your sailing adventure, then a certified skipper will be provided.

Tips for responsible boating

If you’re looking to explore our beautiful planet, a yacht charter in Florida is a great place to start. Explore coral reefs with your snorkel, discover hidden bays and islands and generally enjoy the view of nature. Remember, that sailing motto:  'Take only photos, leave only wake'  (OK, so we paraphrased). To be a responsible sailor, remember:

• Don’t disturb coral or sealife
• Take your trash home (and don’t throw anything in the sea)
• Respect the locals and their customs wherever you go

An Insider’s Viewpoint

“This is our second charter with Waypoints and we could not be more satisfied. Availability and pricing were clear, communication was prompt, and the staff was knowledgeable and nice. The Vinoy Marina is very convenient to a couple of airports so the crew had no problem coming in from all over the country. We think Waypoints is the best charter company available and already have another trip booked for January in St. Thomas!” Jim K.

“The entire team from the Waypoint dock manager, office staff, and dock hands as well as mechanics went above and beyond to make us have a great experience. Sailing Sereia changed me… it was such an incredible trip . With tears in my eyes, I left the boat and I have been counting the days until I can go back and sail her again. We loved all the crew we came in contact with – thank you again!” Constance M.

“We had a great experience with Waypoints Florida Yacht Charters! We spent four days in Florida on Leap of Faith and had a great time. It was our first sailing adventure. We explored Tampa Bay, Anna Maria, Egmont, Bradenton and Palma Sola. It was a great escape! “ Mark L.

Our client’s

I recently booked a yacht charter in Miami with Myke for Father’s Day. I am from Colorado which made the process quite difficult until, thankfully, we were in contact with Myke. Myke made the yacht rental process seamless! His communication is almost immediate. Both Myke and Luis are very professional. Myke took care of everything for our yacht rental and answered all our questions. The crew on the yacht was AMAZING! My family had the time of their lives. Anytime we are back in Miami looking to rent a yacht, Myke will be without a doubt who we book with.

This was my first time renting a boat in Miami and I’m sooo happy I found Myke to work with. I’ve heard so many terrible stories about yacht rental companies in Miami, especially after giving them a deposit for the yacht. I did a lot of research, and eventually found Myke. He was extremely helpful in every single aspect of my yacht charter (even getting me the dimensions of a table on the boat for a tablecloth I wanted to bring on), always responsive, and just very nice!!!! I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a yacht rental in Miami.

This company is phenomenal and made the process of booking a luxury yacht charter so easy. Vanessa helped me plan my 40 th  birthday celebration. It was a truly unforgettable experience.  I booked a 150’ yacht in The Bahamas. During my trip, we explored the Exumas. Each day was better than the day before!  My favorite part of the trip was swimming with the nurse sharks at Compass Cay. The captain and crew were also incredible. They were extremely professional and friendly. I never had a chance to even ask for anything, they were on top of everything!  I recommend using this company for your next yacht charter.

You need to do this.When you go to Destin, you need to book this yacht and spend time with up to 12 of your friends having the most wonderful time of your life. The boat is amazing and the crew was phenomenal. Unbelievable experience. I booked my mastermind retreat a tour on this yacht while we were in town and everyone raved about it.

Wow, what a great day on a beautiful boat. The Captain and mate Lauren were incredibly kind. We had a wonderful champagne to begin our cruise. Shortly after we were surrounded on both sides of the boat by porpoises. Then we went tubing via jet ski! Finally, a visit to Crab island. It was just a perfect trip!!!! We will definitely recommend to our friends and return for another visit ourselves!

Fantastic first-class experience. The yacht was clean and beautiful, the crew charming, fun-loving, and knowledgeable. Our families will cherish the memory forever. I don’t know if this is normal, but we had dolphins swimming with us probably a dozen times. Oh and... BEAUTIFUL SUNSET!

Awesome experience with this charter! The Captain Jenna was fantastic, she found a perfect spot to see the dolphins and sharks! Our crew, Michelle and Carrie were outstanding and very attentive to our group of 10. Thank you ladies, you rock!!! P.S. I would give you 5 stars if I could. BTW, the boat is a beauty!!!

I am not normally one to write a review but after our charter we were so pleased I wanted to be sure to leave one. I can't say enough about Holloway Yacht Charters. I Chartered Propensity for my wife's birthday and it could not have been any better. In fact she says it was her best birthday ever. Ryan the owner answered every question I had and was so helpful in planning the trip even when I needed to make changes. Captain Jenna, Michelle and Kerry were an amazing crew, so professional and nice.  They make sure you know everything for your safety and take care of every need you have, even surprised us with decorations and a birthday cake for my wife. If you are considering a charter then look no further, Holloway is the way to go. Thank you again Ryan, Captain Jenna, Michelle and Kerry for making it such a special day. We hope to see you again.

9 EPIC Yacht Charters in Florida

The sunny state of Florida is the ultimate place to charter a yacht.

It’s got sunshine, subtropical water, stunning beaches and a reputation for the best party scenes and sunsets around. What more could you want from a boating destination?

The iconic city of Miami is the best-known spot in the area for boating, and one of the top yachting destinations in the world. That doesn’t mean it’s the only area you can charter a yacht in Florida. In fact, the whole state is a paradise for boating of any kind.

Our tip is to get out of the big smoke of Miami and check out the awesome yacht charters in other spots in Florida, such as Aventura, Key Biscayne and the Sunny Isles.

It’s all well and good to say you SHOULD charter a yacht in Florida, but HOW does one do that?

That’s where Sailo comes in. 

Sailo is a platform where verified boat owners and representatives can list their boats for rent and charter. So basically, it’s like Airbnb for boats, but with the option to rent a captain too, which is ideal for those who can’t drive a boat. And the good news is, there are a tonne of rentals in the waters of Florida. Click on the website, select your date, browse the available boats and book.

You can also hire a chartered boat from one of the many yacht rental companies that line the coastal towns of Miami, but this will require some searching around to find a reputable company. Sailo has user reviews, so it makes finding a decent boat much easier. 

Something to consider – if you rent a boat in Florida and intend on driving the boat yourself, you don’t need a boat license, but if you are born after Jan 1st, 1988 (very specific) you do need a Boating Safety Education Identification Card .

Did we not already convince you when we mentioned the tempting tropical water, sunshine and gorgeous beaches?

There’s no better way to experience Florida than by boat. Let me tell you why…

When you charter a boat, it means that a captain and crew are included in your experience, so you can just sit back and enjoy. While it is more expensive than renting a bareboat charter in Florida where you are responsible for driving and navigation, etc), you do benefit from having an experienced driver. It is a sort of all-inclusive experience that means you can focus on having fun and connecting with your fellow vacationers.

From a boat, you can experience the best of Florida’s subtropical waters. You can enjoy a romantic sunset, snorkel and admire the biodiversity of marine life, or spend a day at a secluded beach, for example.

There are also many options for bareboat boat rental in Florida, but in this article, we will focus on yacht charters. You’re on vacation, darling, you deserve a hands-off and relaxing experience.

So, let us help you pick out the best Yacht charters in Florida’s must-visit destinations of Aventura, Key Biscayne and Sunny Isles Beach.

Best Yacht Charter for Families in Aventura – Searay Sundancer 55’

• Kayak and inflatable water toys included

The whole family will have a blast on this sleek 55-foot Searay Sundancer. This Florida yacht charter comes with a kayak and other water inflatable toys to splash around in the water with, including an inflatable pool that can be attached to the back once you’ve dropped anchor.

The captain has a book of suggested itineraries and possible outings to make it easy for you to curate your perfect family day out. Whether you want a peaceful day on the water or an adrenaline-packed adventure, this Searay Sundancer guarantees hours of fun.

A total of twelve guests can spend the day on this yacht, though if you’re keen to make it a family sleepover, there is room for six people to sleep on board. 

Over-the-Top Luxury Yacht Charter – Sunseeker Predator 82 feet

• Jacuzzi, kayak and inflatable
• 13 Passengers

If you’re looking for the most luxurious yacht rental in Aventura, we found it. 

This Sunseeker Predator is 82 feet of pure class. But that’s not all it is. Included in this charter is a jacuzzi, jet ski, tender boat, Bluetooth stereo, water raft, and best of all, noodles.

Round up a crew of up to 13 mates and get ready for the sweetest day of your damn lives. Just imagine cruising around the tropical waters of Aventura in this bad boy. I can picture it, and honestly darling, you’ve never looked better. 

If you’re worried you’ll miss some of the comforts of land while on this luxurious adventure, fear not. No corners were cut on the inside of this yacht either. There are multiple living spaces with plush sofas, a full kitchen and a generous dining table that can comfortably fit eight guests and a banquet of food. This place would be impressive even on land, can we stress how impressive that is?

If you’re keen to really level up your experience, overnight stays for eight people can be accommodated. 

The captain requests that you bring your own bathers, hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. Other than that, the rest will be taken care of for you.

You’ll have to dig deep for the experience, but if you can, you totally should.

Best Booze Cruise Yacht Charter in Aventura –  Sporty Monterey 340

• Perfect for booze cruise
• 12 passengers

Get boozy on this epic yacht charter in Aventura. 

This Monterey 340 is a sporty 36-foot vessel that has the ideal setup for you to get a little silly and celebrate something special, Florida style. It’s a great choice for bachelor(ette) dos or birthday parties. 

Cruise around the iconic islands and sandbars in Aventura and Miami. The yacht has a floating island raft for 12 people and a whole lotta sand bar accessories. You and your crew have everything you need to enjoy. 

The weather in Florida is hot, but the drinks won’t be. There’s a big cooler and fridge aboard, plus a sweet sound system to blast your favourite tunes. 

Of course, the yacht comes chartered with a captain, so no one needs to argue about who will stay sober to drive.

Wanna know how to pack like a pro? Well for a start you need the right gear….

These are packing cubes for the globetrotters and compression sacks for the  real adventurers – these babies are a traveller’s best kept secret. They organise yo’ packing and minimise volume too so you can pack MORE.

Or, y’know… you can stick to just chucking it all in your backpack…

Best Boat Charter for Sightseeing – 34 Pearson Sailboat

• Sailing Boat
• 4 passengers

The list of things to do on the water in Florida is long. If you’re keen to do some sightseeing while you’re in Key Biscayne, look no further than this 34 Pearson Sailboat. 

With a whole bunch of local knowledge t, the captain of this sailboat has a great reputation for showing guests the ultimate experience. 

This four-hour yacht charter will show off the top spots for swimming, dolphin spotting and checking out the best of Key Biscayne.

Like all boats in this article, this one comes captained. But, if you’re interested in learning how to sail, you can have a master captain show you the ropes and help navigate the sailboat on your own. 

Not only would this be an awesome experience, but it also comes at a very reasonable price. You’ll even get bottled water, ice, towels and a light refreshment thrown in for good measure. 

It may not be the most luxurious of yacht charters in Florida, but it’s definitely a wholesome option for those wanting to explore the area like a local and see the best of Key Biscayne.

The Most Affordable Yacht Charter – Prout Event Catamaran

• 8 Passengers

With this Prout Event 34-foot catamaran charter, you have a whole lotta options on how you want your day to go. You can make it a day for swimming, diving, snorkelling, a sailing lesson, a BBQ or even a booze cruise. From fishing rods to snorkelling gear and local knowledge, the yacht and the crew have all you need to make those things happen. 

If you’re keen on watching the spectacle that is sunset over the Miami skyline from Biscayne Bay, just coordinate it with the captain when you book. The owners even offer a jetski for rent if you wanna level up the experience.

There’s a lot of flexibility and possibility to create your ideal day out with this catamaran charter. An added bonus is that it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. You can invite up to eight passengers aboard and split the cost between you, too. We know how much you folk love a good deal, and this is a great one if you’re keen to charter a yacht in Florida without selling your soul for the experience.

Just make sure to check the tide status in Florida before booking so you don’t head out into stormy waters!

Best Boat Tour in Key Biscayne for Sunsets – Three-Hour Private Sunset Sailboat on Biscayne Bay

• Great sunset views
• Up to 6 Passengers

What could be better than watching the sunset in Florida? How about watching the sunset from your own private yacht?

This epic private boat tour gets you out onto Biscayne Bay to watch the sunset. As Key Biscayne is super close to the iconic city of Miami, you’ll get to admire the sunset over the city skyline from the water. You’ll see the famous Cape Florida Lighthouse and other unmissable spots by the water like the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.

There are also plenty of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins who call Biscayne Bay home. If you’re lucky you might catch a glimpse of them in their natural habitat!

Be sure to bring your camera along to capture the incredible views.

Epic Party Yacht Charter in Sunny Isles Beach – Sea Ray Sundancer

• Awesome party boat

Whether you’re planning an unforgettable bachelor(ette) party, a birthday surprise or a boozy day on your Florida vacation, this sexy motor yacht is an excellent choice for you to throw a boat party. 

This Florida Yacht charter is a 58-foot Sea Ray Sundancer. That’s the kinda name I want to throw a boat party to under the Floridian sun!

It’s not just all in the name either. The Sundancer has an open layout that is perfect for a party of up to 13 people. The deck (think ‘dancefloor’) has the perfect set-up with a high definition TV where you can stream your favourite tunes. There’s also a wet bar, ice machine and fridge keeping the cocktails cold.

The captain and crew know all the hot party spots in the area, from Haulover Sandbar to Beer Can Island (we swear that’s a real place) and all the other top local attractions.

The Most Affordable Yacht Charter in Sunny Isles Beach – Beneteau Antares

• 6 passengers

This gorgeous 30-foot Beneteau Antares comes in as the most affordable yacht charter in Sunny Isles Beach. But mark my words, that doesn’t mean you’re in for a less than fabulous experience. 

In fact, this is a brand spanking new 2020 model. 

It’s not as big as some of the other Yacht rentals in Florida, but it’s got everything you need and more for an ultimate day on the water. Let us run you through. 

Does it have a sunbed on the bow for you to catch some rays and snap your pics to prove you were on a boat? It does indeed.

Is there a floating mat on board so you can challenge your mate to a water wrestling match? Why, of course!

Does it have a cabin with AC for when you need a moment out of the heat? Tick.

Is there enough table space for a food platter and a bottle of champagne? Abso-bloody-lutely. 

The biggest plus? Compared to the other more enticing options, this one won’t break the bank either. Why should those with deep pockets have all the fun?

The Biggest Yacht Charter in Sunny Isles Beach – 70′ Azimut + Jet Ski Adventure

• 70 foot yacht

This 70 foot Azimut is the biggest yacht charter in Sunny Isles. Not only is it big, it’s also super cool.

It’s got ample deck space for spreading out and catching some rays, a sweet sound system and an outdoor shower. If you need a break from the sunshine, the indoor and shaded areas have plush lounges to kick back on. There’s even AC inside and multiple bedrooms if you’re partial to a siesta.

In case a giant luxury yacht isn’t all you’ve ever dreamed of, they will chuck in a brand new SeaDoo jetski for good measure. There are water toys and inflatables aboard, so you’ve got all the ingredients to create an absolutely epic day on the water. 

With this Floria yacht charter, you’ve got the flexibility to create the perfect day for you and your crew of up to 13. Maybe you wanna drop the anchor and have a party at the Nixon Sandbar. Perhaps a day swimming and snorkelling in the clear waters is calling you. Or maybe docking at a waterfront restaurant is more up your alley.

You can do it all, too! It’s your day, you choose what goes. There are plenty of options for how you spend your day on this huge Florida yacht charter.

• Watch the sunset. No matter where you are in Florida, there’s something extra special about watching the sunset from your own private yacht. Whether you enjoy it from Biscayne Bay with a view over the Miami city skyline or from the water by a secluded island, catching a sunset is one of the best things to do in Florida , so don’t miss out on a sunset.
• Celebrity Sightseeing along Millionaires Row . Cruise along the waters of Biscayne Bay with a cocktail in one hand and a pair of binoculars in the other as you sail past the equisite mansions of Millionaire’s Row, where you may just spot a celebrity outside on their lawns. Whether you see a celeb or not, you can still marvel at the stunning architecture of those richest Floridian residents. Good times guarenteed, celebrities not guaranteed.
• Go snorkelling. The tropical waters of Florida are known for an abundance of tropical fish, interesting sea life and colourful coral. Make the most of the biodiversity and explore below the surface with a snorkel. 
• Drinks on deck. We are in Florida, it’s not the time to skip the party. The drinks are cold and the weather is hot. Pour yourself a drink and sit back and relax on the deck of your yacht charter. I can almost guarantee you’ve never looked this good before. If you feel like getting a little more rowdy, a booze cruise is certainly not out of the question in Florida. Enjoy yourself, responsibly of course. 
• Jetski. Imagine zooming around the bay on a jetski with a tropical breeze on your face. Jetskis are damn fun, and Florida is an awesome place to try them out. Many of the more luxurious yacht charters in Florida include a jetski as a part of the package to sweeten the deal that little bit more. If not, chat with your captain, they might be able to arrange one for you!
• Dolphin watching. Atlantic bottlenose dolphins can be found frolicking about in the waters of Florida. Be sure to watch out for them while you cruise around the water! 
• Get some sun. What better place to catch some rays than under the hot Floridian sun? Make sure you remember your hat and reef-safe sunscreen. You can protect your skin and get some vitamin D at the same time.
• Watersports. One of the best ways to enjoy a day on the water is to get into some watersports. Florida is a great spot to try out water skiing, wakeboarding and a wet ‘n’ wild tube ride. 
• Floating mat and water inflatables. Drifting on the water under the sun or splashing and playing around with your mates on water inflatables is bound to be an epic time. Many yacht charters in Florida include water equipment like floating mats and water inflatables.
• Enjoy a secluded beach. Maybe you want to enjoy a naturist spot and get your gear off or escape the hustle and bustle of busy places. There are plenty of stunning and secluded beaches and islands around Florida just waiting to be explored.

If we haven’t convinced you to charter a yacht in Florida by now, I don’t know what will.

Whether you’re planning a day on the water to celebrate something special, spend quality time with family or friends, or just keen for a unique day on your travels, chartering a yacht is an easy way to have some fun. 

We do think the best way to experience the best of Florida’s tropical waters is by yacht charter. Those bottlenose dolphins won’t admire themselves! 

Our top recommendation would be to check out renting a bareboat in Florida, even just for a day. This could be your chance to tick a DIY sailing trip off your bucket list!

But for now, we will leave you here dreaming of a day on a luxury yacht under the Floridian sun. And if you need more inspiration, check out our guides to the best boat rentals in Tampa , and best boat rentals in Fort Lauderdale , too!

Some of the suggestions below are full-day tours, and others take mere hours. But all are a great way to spend your time in order to enjoy the Sunshine State’s beautiful scenery. And that could mean a wild ride in the Everglades or sailing sunset cruises on one of the Orlando area's attractive lakes.

Orlando Airboat Rides 

One of the things Florida is most known for is its famous airboat tours. Sign up for this fun adventure whether you’re in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, within Everglades National Park, or Orlando on Shingle Creek, on the headwaters of the Florida Everglades. 

You won’t soon forget an exciting airboat ride when you visit the Orlando area, with a chance to see Bald Eagles and other endemic tropical birds, alligators, and crocodiles (maybe even a baby alligator). 

Airboat rides are particularly popular amongst nature lovers. These special boats allow you to glide on the unique marshes and swampland of the Central Florida area. We thoroughly enjoyed our Florida airboat experience. 

Sign up for a 90-minute fun and educational Orlando airboat tour to encounter the real Florida with experienced captains. Alternatively, secure your spot for a 1-hour sunset airboat tour and hope for one of Florida’s famous colorful sunsets. 

Most airboat tours take place rain or shine. Just in case, we recommend traveling to Florida with a poncho or thin raincoat of some sort. Be sure to check in for your tour at least 30 minutes before the experience.

This tour includes pick up and drop off in Central Florida (including designated Disney World and Universal hotels), a BBQ lunch, a printed photo, and admission to their animal rescue Wildlife Park, where you can see birds, big cats, and reptiles. 

The entire experience – from transportation to the boat ride – lasts around 7 hours, including the drive to and from the Everglades area. The Florida Everglades are approximately 45 minutes to an hour's drive each way from Orlando. Choose from a 30-minute or 60-minute airboat ride when you book your experience .

Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour

One of our favorite Orlando boat tours is in Winter Park. It was established in the 1930s, decades before Walt Disney World opened in Lake Buena Vista.

This pontoon boat tour starts near the well-known Park Avenue area. Set out on your scenic cruise from Lake Osceola to the Winter Park Chain of Lakes as your guide takes you through the manmade canals.

Sail past stunning homes in Winter Park, where you will have breathtaking views of the opulent private homes in the area (which is one of the reasons we enjoy the boat tour).

You will have a chance to see wonderful some of Florida’s beautiful birds, like Blue Herons and large cranes, as you travel on several lakes. 

Each boat holds a maximum of 18 passengers. Be sure to bring cash or a check to buy your tickets because credit cards are not accepted. We advise purchasing tickets in the morning on weekends, even if you plan on going later in the day. It’s a very popular tour, and tickets often sell out quickly. 

Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour is closed on Christmas Day. Otherwise, tours leave daily on the hour, starting at 10:00 am. The last tour is at 4:00 pm. 

Day Trip Boat Tours from Orlando

While the Orlando boat tours listed above are within 30 minutes, on average, from Orlando, it’s worth mentioning there are more boat tour options nearby within a 2-hour drive. Here are some additional Central Florida boat tour options. 

Mount Dora Lake Tours

One of our favorite destinations from Central Florida is 45 minutes north: the quaint town of Mount Dora . There’s so much to see and do there in the afternoon or morning; a boat tour is the best way to extend your trip to a whole day. 

Take a 2-hour pontoon boat tour with a departure point at the historic hotel, the Lakeside Inn. Enjoy your leisurely cruise around Lake Dora and The Harris Chain of Lakes, including the famed Dora Canal.

The all-weather 25’ boats can cruise rain or shine thanks to their retractable clear covers for the sides of the boat. Choose from one of two daytime tours, or their third option to cruise during sunset. 

Clearwater Beach with Dolphin Encounter Cruise

This 12-hour full-day tour begins with pick-up at 7:30 am. You’ll head west of Orlando to the popular Florida destination (Clearwater Beach), where you will take a cruise to encounter bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat. 

While this means that you aren’t guaranteed to spot dolphins, your tour guide will do his or her very best to find them. You may see these beautiful mammals up close by the boat or further in the distance if they appear in the ocean. Part of the fun is the anticipation. 

A one-hour dolphin tour boat ride is sandwiched between hours of free time on a Gulf Coast beach. For only $10 more, you can purchase a wristband for the boat ride that allows you to have unlimited beer, wine, and vodka punch. 

Pickup and drop off are included at one of three major locations of your choice (Disney areas included). This means that all you have to do is sign up for the tour and be at that location for pick-up time. 

Choose from the three pick-up locations listed below:

Clear Canoe Boat Tour Near Orlando at Silver Springs

This clear canoe boat tour is approximately halfway between Orlando and Gainesville at Silver Springs. The drive is approximately an hour and 45 minutes from downtown Orlando. 

You’ll do a self-guided tour after the kayak company representative meets you and gives you a laminated map and some brief instructions. Paddle near Cypress Trees and see turtles, ducks, birds, and a chance to see manatees during the winter season, when they swim to Florida’s warm waters.

Dan and I often like to explore an area freely, on our own. Maybe you’re the same way! If so, this is a great tour for you in the Orlando area, as long as you can rent a car to get to the meeting point or take a taxi/Uber or Lyft there. 

Orlando Boat Tours at Walt Disney World

Did you know that you can rent motorized boats at Disney World? It’s one of the best things to do at Walt Disney World, besides the parks. 

Rent a Sun Tracker® Pontoon boat by the half-hour for up to 10 people. You can also opt to kayak or canoe from Fort Wilderness by the hour. 

One of the most singular boat tours in Orlando, or perhaps anywhere, is an Amphicar boat tour. Be a passenger and the envy of all onlookers in a cool convertible car that drives right into the water. This experience is available at Disney Springs restaurant, The Boathouse.

Lastly, you can book a specialty cruise to see the fireworks. You don’t even have to be a hotel guest to do so! Snacks and soft drinks are included in a memorable cruise on a 25’ boat. 

You can also request ​​for a festive banner and/or balloons to be set up on the boat, which is included in the cost (request at the time of booking). It’s a great thing to do for you and your partner or up to 10 guests total, whether a proposal, anniversary treat, or family reunion. 

What to Bring for Orlando Boat Tours

Florida's heat can be brutal, depending on the time of year. No matter the month, you definitely need to protect your skin from the sun. The sun in FL is strong, year-round.

• Rash guard
