Amazing yacht rental experience. Ben was great on board, helpful, friendly and on top of everything. Everything went perfect, and the jet skis were superior. Will definitely be back.

ABOUT CATAMARAN CHARTERS IN MIAMI
Private Catamaran Charters on Biscayne Bay
A catamaran rental in Miami provides a fundamentally different on-the-water experience than a standard motoryacht charter. The dual-hull design creates a wide, stable platform with significantly more usable deck space per foot of vessel length. The bow nets, a feature unique to catamarans, give guests a suspended position directly above the water at the front of the boat. Catamarans are also shallower in draft than equivalent monohull vessels, which means they can anchor at the Bay's most photographed sandbars without the restrictions that deeper-keel yachts face.
Biscayne Bay is one of the best catamaran sailing grounds on the East Coast. The bay is wide, well-protected, and receives consistent trade winds in the afternoon that allow you to set sail and cover significant ground without the engine. The combination of genuine sailing conditions, access to the Haulover Sandbar to the north, Key Biscayne to the south, and the Miami skyline visible from every point on the water makes Biscayne Bay a natural catamaran environment.
Catamaran charters in Miami are available in half-day, full-day, and sunset formats and depart from marinas on Miami Beach, Coconut Grove, Watson Island, and Key Biscayne. A USCG-licensed captain and crew are included on every charter. The vessel, the route, and all on-board service are managed by the crew throughout. Your group boards and the experience begins.

- Professional crew on board
- Full vessel exclusive to your group
- Fuel and marina fees included
- Snorkeling equipment at swim stops

CATAMARAN CHARTER FORMATS
Miami Catamaran Charter Types
Most Popular
Half-Day Bay Cruise
A half-day catamaran cruise on Biscayne Bay is the standard format for first-time catamaran guests in Miami. The wide beam and stable deck of a catamaran makes it the preferred vessel for groups who want space to move around, enjoy the water, and spend time on the nets at the bow. A 4-hour charter gives enough time to cruise the bay, anchor at a sandbar, swim, and return to the marina. Catamarans depart from marinas along the Miami Beach and Coconut Grove waterfronts.
Sunset
Sunset Sail on Biscayne Bay
A catamaran sunset sail in Miami combines the stability and deck space of a sailing vessel with the best light of the day. The wide nets at the bow of a catamaran provide an unobstructed forward position as the boat heads west along the South Beach waterfront at golden hour. Evening charters depart approximately 90 minutes before sunset and return after dark. Star Island and the downtown Miami skyline at dusk are two of the most photographed positions on a sunset catamaran charter.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling and Sandbar Trip
A catamaran snorkeling charter in Miami typically covers Haulover Sandbar or the Biscayne Bay shallow water areas accessible from Miami Beach marinas. The wide swim platform and stable dual-hull of a catamaran makes it one of the most comfortable vessels for multiple swim stops and extended time in the water. A full-day format allows a sandbar stop followed by a snorkeling section before returning to the marina. All snorkeling equipment is included in the charter.
Group
Private Group Charter
Catamarans are the standard choice for larger private groups in Miami because the wide beam and split hull design creates significantly more usable deck space than a single-hull yacht of equivalent length. A group of 20 guests on a catamaran has more room to spread out than the same group on a monohull. Private group charters on catamarans in Miami are popular for birthday parties, bachelorette groups, company events, and milestone celebrations. A DJ setup, catering service, and full bar are available as add-ons for group charters.
Celebration
Birthday and Event Charters
A catamaran birthday charter in Miami provides a stable and spacious party platform with a natural outdoor atmosphere. The large cockpit, shaded cabin seating, and bow net area give guests multiple zones to move between during a private event on the water. A decoration package can be set up before boarding. A DJ, a private chef, and a full open bar are the most commonly added services for catamaran birthday charters in Miami. Sunset and full-day formats are both available.
Romantic
Private Couples Sail
A private catamaran charter for two in Miami is one of the most immersive on-the-water experiences in the city. The smooth motion of a sailing catamaran, the quiet of open water, and the views of the Miami skyline from Biscayne Bay combine into an experience that a land-based evening cannot replicate. A champagne service, a private chef sunset dinner, and a personalized itinerary are all available for couples charters on request.
