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.

Rent a Yacht for the Day in Miami, Florida
Crown Yachts Miami operates a fleet of over 55 private yachts available for day charters from 3 to 8 hours. Every booking is entirely private: your vessel, your group, your captain, and your route. No shared departures, no strangers on deck. The crew handles everything from the marina to the return, while your group focuses on the day.
A day on the water in Miami covers more ground than most visitors expect. From any marina in the bay, a day charter reaches Haulover Sandbar, Nixon Sandbar, Star Island, Key Biscayne, the Venetian Islands, Government Cut, and Stiltsville inside Biscayne National Park. A full-day booking covers two anchor stops and a scenic transit of the main island chain. A half-day covers one sandbar stop and a bay route on the way back.
Departure marinas are available across the full bay. Guests from South Beach, Brickell, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Bal Harbour, and Coral Gables all have marinas within 10 to 15 minutes of the main hotel and residential addresses.

CHARTER FORMATS
Types of Day Yacht Rentals in Miami
Morning sandbar runs, half-day bay tours, full-day explorations, group charters, and family days. Every format is fully private with a crew included.
Most Popular
Morning Sandbar Run
A 3 to 4 hour morning charter departing at 9am or 10am to Haulover Sandbar or Nixon Sandbar. The water is calmest before noon, the sandbar is less crowded, and the light is ideal. Anchor in the shallows, swim off the bow, and return before the afternoon sea breeze builds. The most popular format for first-time yacht renters in Miami.
Half Day
Half-Day Biscayne Bay Charter
A 4 to 5 hour private charter covering Biscayne Bay with at least one anchor stop. Popular routes include a sandbar stop followed by a scenic transit past Star Island or the Venetian Islands. Flexible departure time from morning or early afternoon, with full crew and a route built around your group's preferences.
Full Day
Full-Day Bay Exploration
A 7 to 8 hour private charter covering the full range of Biscayne Bay. Two anchor stops, a scenic island transit, and a sunset return. The most comprehensive Miami day on the water available on a single booking. The crew handles navigation, anchoring, and on-board service throughout the day.
Group
Group Day Charter
Private yacht charters for groups of 10 to 40 guests. Ideal for office outings, birthday group days, reunion gatherings, and social events where a single large vessel makes more sense than multiple smaller boats. Larger vessels with open deck space, shade, and seating are available across the fleet for group day bookings.
Family
Family Day on the Water
A private day charter configured for families with children. Calmer departure times, a watersports package for kids, and a crew experienced with family groups.

Party
Afternoon Day Party Charter
A 4 to 6 hour afternoon charter departing between noon and 2pm. Catering, music, and watersports combined on a private vessel. Popular for birthday groups, reunion weekends, and celebration days where the party format matters as much as the destination. DJ and full bar setup available as add-ons.

Haulover Sandbar
