Where we run
Come Yachts runs a vetted partner fleet across both cities — same boats, same captains, same all-in pricing.
Come Yachts is a charter operator for yacht rental and boat parties in Miami. We book pontoons, sport boats, yachts up to 79 ft, and inspected party catamarans out of Miami Beach Marina, Sea Isle Marina downtown, and the Haulover area up north. Every quote is a final number: captain, fuel, ice, water, bluetooth sound, and a cooler are in the price, and the full rate card is public on our Miami prices page. No call-for-pricing, no surprise fuel surcharge at the dock.
The routes are the reason people come back. A standard four-hour Miami charter leaves the marina, runs Star Island and Millionaire's Row for the celebrity houses, anchors 90 minutes at a sandbar or Monument Island, then loops back along the skyline as the light drops. Your captain adjusts for wind, tide, and how your group actually feels at hour two — that flexibility is the difference between a charter and a bus tour.
The core of what we do: Biscayne Bay cruising past Star Island and Millionaire's Row, weekend raft-ups at Haulover Sandbar, and skyline sunsets off Monument Island. Departures from Miami Beach Marina and Sea Isle Marina downtown, boating weather year-round.
Start with the Miami hub to pick your occasion, boat, and route.
Quieter water, wider canals, and easier docking than Miami on a busy Saturday. Fort Lauderdale suits family days, corporate groups, and anyone staying north of the airport who doesn't want to fight causeway traffic. Same fleet categories, same rates, same captains.
See the Fort Lauderdale hub for routes and departure points.
Pick your day
Six ways to spend a day on Biscayne Bay — each with a real starting price, not a quote form.
Private party boats from $140/hr, or an inspected party catamaran from $900/hr for groups of 40–65. Ticketed party cruises run $59–$109 per person with a 3-hour sail. BYOB is legal on every private charter.
Two hours of gold light over the skyline, timed by a captain who checks the sunset table daily. Sport boats from $190/hr (3h minimum) or step up to a 40–49 ft yacht from $330/hr for a cabin and more deck.
Anchor in 2–4 ft of clear water at Haulover or Nixon Beach Sandbar. A pontoon from $140/hr with a 2-hour minimum is the honest way in — cooler, ice, and sound system already on board.
Private yachts from 40 to 79 ft, up to 13 guests, from $330/hr with a 4-hour minimum. Captain and fuel included, so the number we quote is the number you pay.
Bring your own cake, playlist, and drinks — we bring the boat, captain, and ice. From $140/hr on a pontoon for small crews, or a 40–49 ft yacht from $330/hr when the group deserves a flybridge photo.
Just want a boat for the day? Pontoons and deck boats from $140/hr (2h minimum), sport boats 24–29 ft from $190/hr (3h minimum). Every rental is captained — nobody needs a Florida boating card.
Not sure which fits? Two questions settle it: how many people, and how many hours. Under 10 guests for a chill afternoon points to a pontoon or sport boat; a milestone with 10–13 people points to a yacht; anything bigger is catamaran territory. Every option above shows its real starting rate, and the full matrix by boat and duration lives on the prices page.
The fleet
Four categories cover most days on the bay. Rates below are the same ones our calculator uses.
UP TO 10 GUESTSThe sandbar workhorse: stable, shaded, easy to board.
UP TO 10 GUESTSQuick runs to the sandbar and sunset loops past Star Island.
UP TO 12 GUESTSThe most-booked size for birthdays and bachelorettes.
UP TO 13 GUESTSFull-size luxury: multiple cabins, wide bow, serious presence.
These four are the shortlist, not the whole story — 50–59 ft yachts run from $450/hr, party catamarans take up to 65 guests from $900/hr, and jet skis add on from $120/hr per ski. Browse the full fleet with specs and photos for every category.
Why us
The Miami charter market runs on "call for pricing" and fine print. We took the opposite bet.
Every rate on this site is real and current: boat, licensed captain, fuel, ice, water, bluetooth sound, and cooler in one number. The only extras are the ones you choose — catering, jet skis, gratuity (15–20% is customary).
Every charter runs with a USCG-licensed captain from our vetted partner fleet. You never drive, you never need a boating license, and the person at the helm knows exactly where Haulover gets shallow.
If the captain calls conditions unsafe, your date moves for free and your deposit moves with it. You can also reschedule any charter at no charge with 48+ hours notice. Rain in Miami is usually a 40-minute event, not a canceled day.
Card and USD are standard; we also take BTC, ETH, SOL, and USDT at the moment-of-payment rate with no markup. Details on the pay-with-crypto page.
Our weather rule: if the captain calls conditions unsafe, your charter moves to a new date free — deposit intact, no fee, no argument. Brief summer rain doesn't cancel a Miami charter; unsafe wind and chop do, and the captain makes that call, not the calendar.
Booking
Four steps, one hour to a quote, zero prepayment to ask.
Date, headcount, hours, and the vibe — party, chill, or luxury. Use the form above or email [email protected]. Two minutes.
We reply within 1 hour (9am–9pm ET) with the boat, the route, and one final all-in number. Compare it against our public rate card — it will match.
A 30% deposit locks your boat and time slot. Pay by card or crypto. The balance is due before departure — never a surprise after.
Your captain meets you at Miami Beach Marina, Sea Isle Marina, or the Haulover area. Ice, water, cooler, and sound are on board. Bring drinks, snacks, and sunscreen.
Live conditions
Wind and chop matter more than clouds. This is the same forecast our captains look at.
Miami boats year-round. January through April is peak season — book 2–3 weeks ahead, more for March spring break. November and December bring the flattest water of the year. June through November is hurricane season on paper, but in practice most summer days are charterable and rain cells pass fast; when they don't, the weather rule above covers you.
Know before you go
Written by people who run these routes weekly, not scraped from other blogs.
Planning beats improvising on the water. If your group is eyeing a raft-up, read the Haulover Sandbar guide before you pick a weekend — tide and crowds change everything. First party on a boat? Miami Boat Party 101 covers group sizes, music, and what actually fits in a cooler. And before anyone asks about drinking on board, the Florida boat rules & BYOB guide answers it in plain English.
FAQ
Send the date, group size, and hours through the form on this page or email [email protected]. We reply with an exact all-in quote within 1 hour, 9am–9pm ET. A 30% deposit holds your date; the balance is due before departure.
The deposit is 30% of the charter total and locks your boat and time slot. The remaining 70% is due before departure on the day. Getting a quote costs nothing and requires no prepayment.
Every private charter includes a licensed USCG captain, fuel, ice and water, bluetooth sound, and a cooler. Not included: catering, dock pickup outside our marinas, jet ski add-ons from $120/hr per ski, and gratuity — 15–20% is customary.
Not on a standard private yacht — USCG rules cap most private charters at 12–13 guests. For 14 to 65 guests the law requires an inspected vessel, so we book you on a party catamaran from $900/hr. Tell us your real headcount and we match the legal boat.
Yes. BYOB is allowed on all private charters, and the cooler and ice are already on board. Drinking age on the water is 21, same as on land — captains do check when a group looks close to the line.
Yes. We accept BTC, ETH, SOL, and USDT alongside USD card payments. Your quote is in USD and converts at the moment you pay, with no crypto surcharge. Both the deposit and the balance can be paid in crypto.
If our captain calls conditions unsafe, you reschedule for free and your deposit moves to the new date. You can also move any charter at no charge with 48+ hours notice. Brief summer rain usually passes within the hour and rarely cancels a trip.
Date, guests, hours — that's all we need. Charters from $140/hr, all-in, card or crypto.
