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.

Florida yacht charters are not only in a beautiful and diverse yacht charter location but are also the door to a wonderland of cruising pleasure - the Florida Keys and the Bahamas .

Some call Florida the king of yacht charter vacations. Indeed, Florida does have some of the largest gatherings of charter yachts worldwide. The state of Florida is synonymous with water - it has two coastal borders in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico and is home to some 30,000 lakes. Florida yacht charterers can follow the intercoastal highway; with it's myriad of secluded cove beaches, seaside towns, great anchorages and excellent marina facilities, for miles and miles.

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.

What people are saying

“Canvas Yacht Charters and Doug are a pleasure to work with. Doug’s follow-up skills are remarkable and attention to detail are bar none. I very rarely leave reviews, but I can, without a doubt, recommend Canvas and Doug to everyone I know. Thanks again D!”

“We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with three other couples, our dearest friends, on a week-long sailing charter. The trip was arranged by Doug Tibbs at Canvas Yacht Charters, and his assistance was invaluable every step of the way. He listened to our dreams for the trip, the things we were really hoping for and things we wanted to avoid, non-negotiates and crazy ideas, and he filtered them all to present us with several charter options, any one of which would have been wonderful, but we ended up on Ghost. Doug’s attention didn’t stop with the booking. He made sure we were kept aware of various important deadlines, including changes related to covid, connected us with the crew and conveyed to them all our preferences, and was available throughout to answer our big and small questions. This was truly the trip of a lifetime for every one of us onboard—the boat, the crew, the sailing, the food, the adventure. So many thanks to Doug for his care to make it everything we dreamed it could be—and we are already hoping to plan a repeat trip for next year!”

“It’s not often that I end up leaving a review for a service I didn’t end up booking, but the super customer service I received from Heather at Starrluxe definitely merits noting. From the first step in the process, she was helpful, professional, and extremely accommodating despite a difficult itinerary and an expedited time frame. She provided excellent options and went out of her way to address our every requirement. I deeply regret that our travel plans changed and we weren’t able to finalize our charter, but I greatly look forward to working with Starrluxe again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Enjoyed working with Doug. He was attentive to our needs/desires. Got us a great boat with a great crew. He even got us a price reduction. I will look forward to working with him again.”

“Doug and his team helped us book a trip in two days for the following week. Great communications and expectation setting, which helped make the trip successful. We will recommend them to family and friends for their trips. -Cheers, John”

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.

Explore South Florida and the Florida Keys onboard a Private Charter Yacht

On a private crewed yacht charter in Florida, guests will find plenty of excitement and adventure. From sailing the Florida Keys to exploring the luxury boutiques on Ocean Drive in South Beach, here are some ideas for must-see spots and must-do activities on a crewed yacht charter in Florida:

Florida Keys

The Florida Keys – the string of idyllic islands just south of Miami – stretch for about 120 miles off the southern tip of Florida, from Biscayne National Park all the way to Key West. Each of the islands has its own personality and there are many things to do and see in the Keys: Fantastic diving in Key Largo, sportfishing in Islamorada, and incredible sunsets in Key West, to name a few.

There is no other place like Miami – its exotic mix of cultures offers an exhilarating experience. If you are a foodie or if you enjoy the nightlife, Miami is a must-stop on your yacht charter in South Florida. But the city is not only fun – it has great galleries, museums, and world-famous architecture, the Art Deco of South Beach.

Fort Lauderdale

An undisputed yachting capital of the US, Fort Lauderdale offers more than just state-of-the-art marina facilities. The city boasts amazing beaches, upscale restaurants, and numerous art and cultural events. And of course, there is the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show taking place every November – one of the biggest yachting events in the world.

The southernmost city in America, Key West, is the ultimate yacht charter destination. Here, you’ll find it all: beautiful beaches, quirky beach bars, and loads of interesting history.

South Florida Things to Do & See

South Florida has a Vibrant Nightlife

Head to the bright lights of Miami Beach, especially posh South Beach, for the best nightclub experience in North America. A-listers and celebrities regularly take to the VIP sections in South Beach’s clubs, and touring DJs make stops for drop-in sets. Whether you prefer beach cocktails at an open-air club or the basslines and dancing indoors, you’ll find the best of the best in Miami.

Beautiful Beaches

The Sunshine State’s stunning beaches are a major draw for Florida yacht charters. And in Florida, there are beaches to suit everyone’s tastes. From the sun-worshippers at Las Olas Beach in Fort Lauderdale to the beautiful reefs at Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, a beautiful beach is always a short cruise away.

Arts, Culture, and Architecture

The historic Art Deco District of Miami Beach boasts swanky hotels, eclectic houses, and elaborately-designed apartment buildings, all with Miami’s signature Art Deco flair. Numerous tours are available for architecture buffs. Or choose to explore Miami Beach’s bustling arts scene, with galleries and museums featuring collections from the Renaissance to modern-day.

Dive a Coral Reef in the U.S.

Key Largo is home to a massive coral reef, which boasts a colorful array of plants and marine life. This “self-proclaimed dive capital of the world” attracts divers from across the globe to Florida. Make a stop on your crewed boat rental to snorkel or dive in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, America’s first underwater park, which is known for its vibrant reef and idyllic beaches.

Magnificent Sunsets

The Florida Keys boast some of the most beautiful sunsets on the planet. End your day in the Marquesas Keys, a group of uninhabited islands that are surrounded by mangroves, or Indian Key, where colors brilliantly fade from the sky.

First Time Charter?

For miami itineraries, for bahamas itineraries, for chesapeake bay, sailing vacations in the bahamas and the florida keys.

The Bahamas and the Florida Keys provide some of the most incredible experiences for yacht and catamaran sailing vacations in the world. Why not charter your own private yacht and explore the pristine waters of the Bahamas or the Florida Keys or even Cuba.

Boat Miami offers you an incredible selection of private vessels that take paying guests for a few days, or a few weeks. You will, of course, sleep on board and take one or two or more meals a day that are prepared by your private chef on the boat. Groups of 8 to 10 or 12 guests make for the best and most fulfilling experiences.

For a complete guide to the Islands of the Bahamas please  click on this link . This is one of the most comprehensive guides to sailing in the Bahamas available on the Internet. And yes, we wrote it ourselves from firsthand experience.

We do not encourage our clients to use vacation yachts as alternative transportation to Nassau or Freeport. It’s always better to fly. As an example, it takes two whole days on a motor yacht from Miami to Nassau. Three days on a sailing boat or catamaran.

It is our pleasure to offer up one of the best yacht search engines in the business so you can find the yacht or catamaran that best suits you and your family or friends. The crew makes the charter, so they say. Very true, we offer detailed crew profiles of the best yachts in this area.

The best time of year to cruise the Bahamas is definitely during the summer months – May – June – July, August – September, even October. Yes, of course we’ll try and steer you clear of any tropical weather, but it is the season.

We always recommend that our clients pick up their Bahamas charter vessel IN THE BAHAMAS. We don’t necessarily suggest that you cross the Gulf Stream in your charter yacht.

You can, of course, travel down to the Florida Keys almost in any weather as there are several options depending on the weather and including the smooth waters of Hawk Channel inside the barrier reef.

Winter, of course, is also quite warm but the weather can be affected by the continental cold fronts that sweep across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas every couple of weeks or so. So, in winter, if you want to organize a get-away in the Bahamas, try to get as far South as possible where you will be minimally affected by the frontal weather.

Bon Voyage from the BoatMiami.com team.

Yacht Charter Florida

Florida’s “sunshine state” provides an alternative cruising ground for those looking for a cosmopolitan charter.

Famed for its year-round balmy temperatures, there is much more to the “Sunshine State” of Florida than Mickey and Minnie. The stunning coastline boasts long stretches of sandy beaches, world-class golf courses, and elegant palm-lined boulevards that are home to an array of restaurants and bars. The large peninsula is a great place to berth your yacht and step ashore to explore the chic cities of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach before cruising to the Florida Keys for a cosmopolitan Florida yacht rental with an island feel.

Exploring Florida’s Coastal Charm

Sunset serenades and seaside sophistication in key west.

From gazing at epic sunsets in laid-back Key West to relaxing on Miami’s uber-cool South Beach to riding an airboat through the wild Everglades, the “Sunshine State,” Florida offers many attractions both aboard and ashore for anyone looking for cosmopolitan Florida yacht charters.

Navigating the Jewels of the Florida Keys

Well known in yachting circles for the chain of 42 islands known as the Florida Keys, the coastline is famous for its long sandy beaches, world-class golf courses, and the cosmopolitan cities of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach. The latter provides an impressive array of galleries, entertainment, and nightlife. At the same time, the Florida Keys are a haven for sailing, diving, and sun-worshippers with their balmy waters and warm breezes.

Setting Sail for Captiva and Sanibel’s Tranquil Shores

Embarking on a sailing vacation from the lively marinas of Fort Lauderdale, one can experience the tranquil beauty of Captiva Island and Sanibel Island, jewels of the Gulf Stream that offer serene beaches and captivating sunsets. As you navigate through these pristine waters, the expertise of charter experts ensures a seamless journey, allowing you to fully immerse in the dream of chartering through paradise.

Discovering New Horizons with Extended Yacht Journeys

A great way to spend a vacation on the water is to begin in Palm Beach, easing into the charter with a gentle cruise south, passing Delray Beach and Boca Raton, stepping ashore to Fort Lauderdale before hitting Miami and onto the easy-paced Florida Keys. Extend your private yacht rental by heading back up the Florida Keys, discovering new anchorages, and revisiting old favorites. For those looking to venture further, the sailing adventures can continue towards the pristine waters of Naples, or even set course for the rugged coastlines of New England, exploring a whole new world of island paradises and family memories in North American waters.

Key West Boat Tours Compared — Picking the Right Excursion for Your Florida Keys Vacation

Newsflash: Key West is an island! Ok, hardly newsworthy. But many visitors like to come to our beautiful piece of rock and then spend all their time crawling around Duvall. That’s fun, but Key West is all about getting out on the water. Seeing dolphins, manatees, fish, and stuff. What are you waiting for? Here’s a look at six different types of Key West boat tours you could book today.

6 Key West Boat Tours to Get You Out On the Water

You might have noticed that all the top must-do Key West excursions involve getting on a boat. There is no shortage of different kinds of boat tours in Key West. Here’s a breakdown of the six most popular Key West boat tours. 

Fishing Charters

People come from all over the world to fish in the Keys. While other seaside towns have great offshore fishing, Key West is unique in that there are multiple types of fishing you can do here. The trick with any fishing charter is to find the best. You can pick from private or shared fishing charters in Key West . 

Deep-sea anglers will want to head offshore in a big charter boat for a half or full-day charter. Once out past the reef line, these boats will troll heavy tackle for big fish — marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, and whatever else they might hook into. The Kraken? Maybe.

Flats fishermen will want to find someone with a skinny water skiff to take them into the backcountry. Here, they’ll stalk the shy and not-so-shy: bonefish, tarpon, snook, permit, and others. 

In between the two, there are about a million variations of light and medium tackle fishing. Lots of charters take you out to try your luck bottom fishing along the reef line, wrecks, or mangrove creeks. Snapper, grouper, hogfish, 

Snorkeling and Diving Trips

If you want to see the only living coral reef in the contiguous US, you’ll want one of the Key West boat tours that offer snorkeling , diving, or both. 

Snorkel tours are geared toward beginners. They usually favor shallow reefs that have little current and good visibility. Be sure to check out my ultimate first-timer’s guide to Key West coral reef snorkeling . 

Diving tours, on the other hand, tend to find deeper spots where the divers will have more room to play. While some of these may allow snorkelers to come along, they’re usually less than spectacular since the water will be deeper, and it will be harder to see anything. Diving charters are best left to certified divers, and snorkel charters are better if you don’t want to deal with all that gear. 

Most snorkel and dive trips last 3–4 hours and hit up two spots. If you’re really into the reefs, it’s worth stopping and taking tours from a few islands on your way to Key West. Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, and Looe Key have excellent snorkeling and dive sites, too.

Sunset Sails

Finding the absolute best places to watch the sunset in Key West is the name of the game down here. For my money, I think that getting out on a boat is the tops. You get away from the crowds at Mallory Square, and you stand the best chance of getting a glimpse of the elusive Green Flash. 

There are many flavors of sunset cruises in Key West. Several old-timey sailing schooners offer tours during the season, plus the more run-of-the-mill sailboats and power boats. You can charter any sort of small boat to take small groups out, from sailboats to catamarans to pontoon boats. 

Sunset cruises may be champagne sails or BYOB — be sure to check before you book. Some are all-inclusive, and some are bare-bones. 

Dinner Cruises

Several big boats leave Key West harbor every evening for buffet-style dinner cruises. It’s a great way to enjoy a meal at sea and catch the sunset. Be sure to read the reviews and understand what you’re getting. Some of these boats are “party boats,” where the vibe is more ‘spring break beach club’ than a classy dinner out. Some even have live music and space to dance, even. No matter which one you book, check what’s included in the bar and what costs extra!

Many people who have taken dinner cruises admit that it would have been better to take a nice sunset cruise and then find a nice restaurant for dinner afterward. Combining the two activities reduces your enjoyment of both. 

Eco-tours describe anything from group dolphin-watching cruises to quiet birdwatching and snorkeling trips. No one ever promises you’ll see wildlife on these trips, but most captains know where to go for the best chances. There’s a lot of wildlife in the waters surrounding Key West. 

Some of the best eco-tours are done from kayak or paddleboard. To find a good one, you’ll want to head out of town towards some of the quieter Keys to the north . You want to be able to do your paddling away from town in the real backcountry. 

Sandbar Trips

One way to get a little taste of everything the Key West boat tours can offer is to take a sandbar charter . Like fishing and snorkeling trips, you can go on crowded “headboats” or a private small boat . Either way, you’ll spend some time cruising around the islands. There’s a little bit of eco-tour since you’ll very likely see dolphins, birds, and maybe manatees or sharks. 

Sandbars are our best beaches. Far away from town, these incredible sandbars in Key West are uncovered at low tide. They’re the perfect place to escape and relax like you’re on your own private island. But, on busy weekends, the party comes to you!

Can't Decide? Build Your Own and Do All the Best Key West Boat Tours

Before booking any of these Key West boat trips, be sure to check out my top tips for picking Florida Keys boat charters . One of the best ways to do it all is to book a private charter and tailor it to meet your needs. Want to do a little ecotouring, snorkeling, and sandbar hopping in one afternoon? We can do that! Call Captain Zak at Casual Monday, and I’ll hook you up.
