WHAT TO EXPECT

How an Affordable Fort Lauderdale Yacht Charter Actually Works

A cheap boat rental or budget yacht charter in Fort Lauderdale is simpler than most people expect. Message us, choose a vessel that fits your budget and group size, and show up at the marina. Here is what every booking includes from first contact to dock.

TRANSPARENT PRICING

Affordable Yacht Charters from $1,500 for 4 Hours

The cheapest vessels in the Crown Yachts Miami fleet start from $1,500 per 4-hour charter in Fort Lauderdale. This rate covers the full vessel, the captain, fuel, ice, and standard safety equipment. There is no additional captain fee, no fuel surcharge, and no mandatory gratuity requirement built into the quoted rate. What is quoted is what is paid.

CAPTAIN ALWAYS INCLUDED

USCG-Licensed Captain on Every Charter

Every affordable yacht charter and cheap boat rental at Crown Yachts Miami includes a USCG-licensed captain at no additional charge.

WhatsApp Deals Not Listed on the Site

Last-minute availability on Crown Yachts Miami vessels in Fort Lauderdale is regularly available at rates below the published pricing on this page. The fastest way to find these deals is to message us on WhatsApp. We respond quickly and can confirm a vessel, date, and rate within minutes. Budget yacht charters on specific dates are sometimes available at significantly reduced rates that are not shown on the website.

SAME DESTINATIONS

Las Olas Isles and the Reef on Any Charter

The Las Olas Isles, Millionaire's Row, the New River, Lake Sylvia, and the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea reef are all accessible on affordable and cheap boat charters. A 40-foot vessel and a 100-foot superyacht travel the same waterways and visit the same landmarks. The view of the mansions from an affordable charter is identical. The rate does not change the destination.

FULL ADD-ONS

Open Bar, DJ, Chef, and Decor on Any Vessel

The open bar package, DJ with full sound setup, private chef, and custom decoration are all available on every vessel in the fleet including the entry-level category. A budget birthday charter on a 40-foot vessel can have the same open bar, DJ setup, and balloon decoration as a charter on a 100-foot superyacht. Every add-on is pre-loaded before departure.

FLEXIBLE DURATION

Sunset Cruises from 2 Hours to Full 8-Hour Days

Affordable yacht charters and cheap boat rentals are available in 2-hour, 3-hour, 4-hour, 6-hour, and full 8-hour formats. A 2 to 3-hour sunset cruise is the most affordable format. A 4-hour charter is the most popular and covers a reef swim, the Las Olas Isles, and the Intracoastal circuit. Rates are per charter, not per hour, so adding 2 hours to a 4-hour charter is often much less than the incremental cost suggests.

DEPARTURE POINTS

Marinas for Affordable Yacht Departures

The affordable yacht fleet departs from all major Fort Lauderdale marinas. We match the departure point to where your group is staying, from Bahia Mar and Las Olas Marina on the beach to Cooley's Landing on the downtown New River.

It was our first time exploring Miami by yacht and it was one of the best experiences we've had. The crew took great care of us the entire time. They were super friendly and patient. We stopped at multiple spots to take photos and the captain was more than happy to adjust the route whenever we wanted.

We rented the 66ft Azimut during our trip to Miami and it was honestly one of the best days of our vacation. Everything was smooth from the start. We ordered food and drinks ahead of time, and when we arrived, everything was already set up on the yacht and super fresh. The drinks were already chilled in the ice box, which was perfect. We had an amazing time out on the water, everything was exactly how we hoped it would be. Definitely recommend Crown Yachts Miami if you're trying to have a fun day out with friends. Would 100% book again!
