For many guests, the time the yacht drops anchor is the best part of the day. Swimming in Biscayne Bay with the Miami skyline in the background is one of those experiences that no photograph fully captures — but adding water sports to that anchor stop takes it further. Crown Yachts Miami's watersports add-on brings professional equipment directly to the charter so guests do not have to arrange anything separately.
What Is Available: Water Sports on a Miami Charter
The Crown Yachts Miami watersports package covers several categories of equipment:
Jet Skis
Jet skis are the most consistently requested watersport on Miami charters. They are fast, require minimal instruction, and work well in the conditions around the sandbar and open Biscayne Bay. Riders take turns in pairs or individually, and the session coordinator manages timing so everyone gets time on the water.
Flyboards
A flyboard straps to your feet and uses a jet of water pumped through a hose from the personal watercraft to propel you several feet above the surface. It sounds more difficult than it is — most beginners get airborne within the first few minutes. No prior experience is required, and the height of the water jet is adjustable for comfort level.
Flyboarding is a crowd favorite for groups where some guests want a more active, memorable experience. It generates some of the best footage from any charter day.
Floating Mats and Inflatables
Floating mats are included in every charter as a standard item. The watersports add-on also includes larger inflatable platforms and water toys suited to the whole group at anchor. These work well for groups who want to relax on the water between swim sessions rather than participate in active sports.
Where Water Sports Happen on a Miami Charter
Water sports require calm, open water with enough space for safe operation. The Miami sandbar — located in Biscayne Bay — is the most common anchor point for watersports sessions. The water there is shallow enough to stand, calm enough for all ability levels, and far enough from boat traffic that jet skis and flyboards can run freely.
The captain selects the anchor point on the day based on conditions, current boat traffic, and wind direction. On busier weekends, some captains prefer alternate anchor spots in Biscayne Bay where there is more space. Both options provide the same quality of water for the session.
Best Occasions for Watersports on a Charter
Watersports are most popular on birthday charters, bachelorette parties, and general group yacht outings where guests want an active, social experience rather than a purely relaxing day. For family charters, floating mats and inflatables are the more appropriate options for younger guests.
For groups planning a full day or 6-hour charter, watersports fit naturally into the middle portion of the trip — typically after cruising out from the marina and before heading back toward Miami Beach for the sunset stretch. Browse available yacht party experiences and the full Crown Yachts Miami fleet to find the right combination of vessel and add-ons for your group.

The watersports add-on is booked alongside the charter — contact Crown Yachts Miami via WhatsApp or email when confirming your reservation. Share your group size and which activities are most interesting to your group, and the team will confirm availability and coordinate the equipment for your charter date.
Watersports equipment availability varies by date and season. Booking in advance ensures the right setup is ready on your departure day.
