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.

HALF DAY OR FULL DAY
From a 3-hour morning reef run to a full 8-hour exploration, here is what fits in each day charter format in Fort Lauderdale.
The shortest day format. Depart at 9am or 10am for the calmest water, run out through the Port Everglades inlet to the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea reef for a swim, and return. The most popular first-timer format in Fort Lauderdale.
A half-day yacht rental covers the Intracoastal with at least one anchor stop. A typical route cruises the Las Olas Isles canals and Millionaire's Row, then anchors at the reef, with flexible morning or afternoon departures.
A full day boat rental covers the complete Fort Lauderdale coast: two anchor stops, the Las Olas Isles, a Port Everglades transit, a run north to Hillsboro Inlet, and a sunset return. The most comprehensive day in one booking.
Morning departures between 9am and 10am offer the calmest water, especially for the reef. Full-day charters departing at 10am have the most flexibility before the sunset return. Afternoon departures at 12pm to 2pm suit party-focused day charters.
Every day yacht rental is a completely private booking. No shared deck, no public schedule, no other passengers. The vessel, captain, crew, and route are yours for the full duration, whether the group is 4 or 30 guests.
A half-day charter is best for one anchor stop and a scenic Intracoastal transit. A full day adds a second stop, an offshore run, and a sunset return. For a short 2 to 3-hour evening instead, see the hourly and sunset formats.
DAY FORMATS
From a morning reef run to a full-day exploration, choose the format that fits your plans and we build the route around your day.
A 3 to 4-hour day charter departing at 9am or 10am out through the Port Everglades inlet to the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea reef. The water is calmest before noon, the anchorage is quieter, and conditions are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and photography. The most popular half-day format for first-timers in Fort Lauderdale.
A 4 to 5-hour half-day yacht rental covering the Intracoastal with at least one anchor stop. Popular routes cruise the Las Olas Isles canals and Millionaire's Row, then anchor at the reef. Flexible morning or afternoon departure. Full captain and crew on every half-day boat rental.
A 7 to 8-hour full day boat rental covering the complete range of the Fort Lauderdale coast. Two anchor stops, the Las Olas Isles, a Port Everglades transit, a run north to Hillsboro Inlet, and a sunset return. The most comprehensive day on the water in a single booking, from any beach or Intracoastal marina.
Private all day boat rentals for larger groups. Ideal for office outings, reunion weekends, and social events. See our Fort Lauderdale group charter for the dual-yacht format that handles 14 to 50 guests across two vessels.
A private day charter configured for families with children. Morning departures for calmer water, a watersports package for the kids, and a reef swim stop at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. See all family yacht charters.
A 4 to 6-hour afternoon charter departing between noon and 2pm, the most popular format for bachelorette parties and birthday celebrations. A DJ with full sound and an open bar are the most requested add-ons.

ADD-ONS




DEPARTURE LOCATIONS
Arrive 15 minutes before departure. We meet you at the dock and set the day's route.
Select a departure marina to see the location
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Fort Lauderdale's most storied marina, on the barrier island beside the Intracoastal. A central departure for both half-day and full-day charters, with direct access to Port Everglades for the reef run and the Las Olas Isles canals to the north.
On the Intracoastal at the eastern end of the Las Olas causeway, steps from the beach hotels. A convenient boarding point for day charters that begin with a Las Olas Isles canal cruise before heading to the reef.
A landmark deep-water marina on the Intracoastal at the 17th Street Causeway, moments from Port Everglades. The most direct departure for a morning reef run and offshore full-day charters, with the shortest transit to the inlet.
A full-service marina on the 17th Street Causeway with direct Intracoastal access and a short transit to the Port Everglades inlet. A convenient boarding point for both half-day and full-day charters.
On the Intracoastal just north of the Las Olas causeway, walking distance from the beach. A convenient beach-area departure for half-day charters, with quick access to the Las Olas Isles canals and the northbound Intracoastal.
On the New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale, near the Riverwalk. A scenic downtown departure for day charters that begin with a New River transit before reaching the Intracoastal and the reef.
A modern full-service marina on the Intracoastal north of Las Olas, near the Galleria. A convenient boarding point for day charters routing north toward Hillsboro Inlet and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
HOW TO PLAN
Tell us whether you want a morning reef run, a half-day Intracoastal charter, or a full-day exploration, plus your date and group size. We confirm availability in Fort Lauderdale and recommend the departure time that fits your plans.
We send a shortlist of yachts that fit your group of 2 to 40 guests and your budget. Smaller cruisers suit couples and small groups; larger vessels handle bigger day groups with shade and seating. Every option includes full specifications.
Load a private chef, an open bar and catering, a DJ, or a watersports package for the reef stop. Everything is loaded before the group boards.
Secure your date with an online payment. Weekend day charters in peak season fill quickly, so a confirmed deposit locks in your vessel and departure time. We send a clear confirmation with boarding time and marina address.
We meet you at the dock at Bahia Mar, Las Olas Marina, or your selected Fort Lauderdale marina. The yacht is fueled, the captain and crew are on board, and every add-on is set up before you step on deck.
Your group boards, the captain sets the route around your priorities, and the day begins. The crew handles navigation, anchoring, and service from departure to return so you focus entirely on the day.
ROUTES
A half-day covers the reef and the canals; a full day adds the offshore run and a sunset return. Your captain builds the route around your departure time and priorities.
Select a destination to see where it is
A calm, shallow anchorage off the beach above a living coral reef within yards of the shore. The centerpiece anchor stop of most day charters, with clear Atlantic water for swimming and snorkeling directly off the yacht.
Fort Lauderdale's Venice of America, a grid of finger islands lined with waterfront mansions and mega-yacht docks. A slow canal cruise past the estate homes is a highlight of every half-day and full-day charter.
Fort Lauderdale's gateway to the Atlantic and one of the busiest cruise ports on the East Coast. A transit past the cruise ships at the inlet is a dramatic segment on a day charter heading offshore to the reef.
The scenic ocean inlet north of Fort Lauderdale, marked by the historic Hillsboro Lighthouse. A full-day destination with clear Atlantic water and a quieter offshore anchorage, the northern turnaround for extended itineraries.
The stretch of the Intracoastal lined with Fort Lauderdale's most extravagant estates and the mega-yachts docked behind them. A standard scenic segment on any day charter cruising the Intracoastal.
Fort Lauderdale's historic downtown waterway, past the Riverwalk, waterfront restaurants, and drawbridges framed by the skyline. A scenic transit that works especially well on a full-day sunset return.

Weekend day charters fill fast in peak season. Share your plans and date and we'll get back to you within minutes.
