Yacht Rental Miami Beach

Miami Beach yacht rentals depart from Miami Beach Marina (300 Alton Rd, just off the MacArthur Causeway) — a 4-minute walk from Sunset Harbour and a 6-minute Uber from Lincoln Road. Charters run 4, 6, or 8 hours and start from $650 for 4 hours. The Star Island & Palm/Hibiscus celebrity-homes loop is the most popular Miami Beach route, followed by the Stiltsville run and the Key Biscayne sandbar.

Why depart from Miami Beach

Miami Beach Marina is the easiest pickup point if you're staying anywhere south of 41st Street.

Parking is $5/hr surface lot; valet runs $20 flat. The slip is a 30-second walk from the dock entrance, and you're in open water (Government Cut → Atlantic) within 8 minutes — versus 25–35 minutes from Coconut Grove or the Miami River marinas on a busy Saturday.

Most popular Miami Beach routes

Star Island loop (1.5 hr): Past Diddy, Shaq, Gloria Estefan and the Palm/Hibiscus mansions.

Sandbar runs (3+ hr): Anchor at the Nixon sandbar off Key Biscayne for swim, paddleboards, and floating-mat lounging. Stiltsville (2 hr): The 1930s-era stilt houses south of Cape Florida. Sunset cruise (2 hr): Government Cut → south past Fisher Island as the city lights come up.

Group sizes & yacht selection

Most Miami Beach yachts seat 12–13 passengers.

For bachelor/bachelorette groups of 14–25, look at our 65'+ inspected vessels (Lazzara 75, Sunseeker 80). Corporate events for 30+ run on the 100' Tecnomar or larger.

Timing your Miami Beach departure

Government Cut is a working channel — cruise ships stack up Friday through Sunday afternoons, and our captains time departures around the ship schedule so you idle less and cruise more.

Morning charters (10am–2pm) get the flattest water and the emptiest sandbar; afternoon slots (1pm–5pm) catch the social peak; the 4pm–8pm window rides golden hour past the skyline and comes home under the lit-up causeways. In summer, morning departures also beat the 3pm shower line; in winter, afternoons are warmer for swimming. If your group cares about photos, say so at booking and we'll point you to the slot with the right light.

What Miami Beach groups add on

The add-ons that actually get used here: a jet ski hour at the sandbar (staged off the swim platform), catering delivered to the slip before boarding, décor set up for birthdays and bachelorettes, and a photographer for the first hour. Every add-on carries a listed price you approve before booking — the only thing paid on the water is crew gratuity, which goes directly to the crew.
