Planning a bachelorette party on a yacht in Miami involves a few layers of cost that are worth understanding clearly before booking. The base charter price covers the vessel and crew. Add-ons — decorations, catering, DJ — add to that. And the way guests split the total affects how the cost feels per person. This guide breaks all of it down clearly.
The Base Charter Price: What You Pay for the Boat
Crown Yachts Miami charges by vessel size for a minimum 4-hour charter. The pricing tiers are:
- 45 to 50 foot yacht: from approximately $1,500 for 4 hours
- 55 to 60 foot yacht: from approximately $2,000 for 4 hours
- 60 foot and above: priced higher with size and specification
These base prices include the captain, crew, fuel, soft drinks, water, ice, towels, and floating mats. Nothing in this list costs extra — it is all part of the base charter. Crown Yachts Miami also offers a best price guarantee and will match any competing quote.
For groups who want more time on the water, 6-hour and 8-hour charters are available at proportionally higher rates.
Add-Ons: The Full Bachelorette Experience
The base charter gets you the yacht and the crew. The add-ons build the bachelorette atmosphere. Common bachelorette add-ons and what they contribute:
Yacht Decoration
Custom banners, floral arrangements, themed signage, and champagne setups. Transforms the deck into a photo-ready bachelorette environment before guests board.
Catering
Seafood platters, sushi boards, charcuterie, custom menus. Particularly useful for longer charters (6+ hours) or groups who want food as part of the experience rather than bringing their own.
Private DJ
A professional DJ for the full charter duration with professional equipment connected to the yacht's sound system. Frequently requested for bachelorette parties where dancing and atmosphere are a priority.
Per-Person Cost: How It Splits
The most practical way to understand the cost of a bachelorette charter is on a per-person basis. Here are a few examples based on a 4-hour charter at the $1,500 base price:
- Group of 8 guests (bride free): $214 per guest for the base charter
- Group of 10 guests (bride free): $167 per guest for the base charter
- Group of 12 guests (bride free): $136 per guest for the base charter
Add-ons are divided the same way on top of the base. A $300 decoration package split 10 ways adds $30 per guest. A catering package split among the same group adds a comparable amount per person.
On this basis, a bachelorette yacht charter often compares favorably with alternatives. Miami club nights with table service regularly require minimums of $100 to $200 per person before individual drinks. A private yacht provides a more exclusive, controlled environment at a similar or lower per-person cost when the group is large enough.
Ways to Manage the Budget
A few practical choices help keep the total cost manageable without reducing the quality of the experience.
Bringing your own alcohol and food is allowed on Crown Yachts Miami charters. Guests who prefer to BYOB or bring their own snacks and finger foods can skip the catering add-on entirely. A cooler stocked before departure, combined with the yacht's soft drinks, water, and ice, covers most groups' drink needs for a 4-hour charter.
Choosing a weekday charter, if the group has flexibility, typically provides better availability. Booking during the off-peak season (May through October) also affects overall pricing and availability.

How to Book and What to Expect
A 50% deposit is required to reserve the vessel and date. The remaining 50% is paid on the day of the charter, on board. The yacht is not reserved until the deposit has been received.
