PRIVATE MULTI-NIGHT CHARTERS
Overnight Yacht Rental Fort Lauderdale, One Night to Seven Nights
A Fort Lauderdale overnight yacht rental from Crown Yachts Miami is a fully private booking on a vessel with sleeping cabins, a professional crew on board throughout the night, and every meal provisioned before departure. The experience begins with a sunset departure from one of Fort Lauderdale's full-service marinas and ends the following morning after breakfast at anchor. The crew handles navigation, anchoring, and overnight watches so guests do not manage anything from the moment they board.
The simplest overnight is a dockside sleep-aboard at the slip, or a one-night anchor at Lake Sylvia on the protected Intracoastal. Larger offshore-capable vessels complete a Bahamas crossing to Bimini as a two-night round trip, with Fort Lauderdale one of the closest gateways to the Bahamas in the country. Multi-night charters extend north to Lake Boca Raton and West Palm Beach or south along the Hawk Channel toward the Florida Keys.
Overnight yacht charter departures are available from deep-water marinas across Fort Lauderdale, including Bahia Mar, Pier Sixty-Six, Lauderdale Marina, and Las Olas Marina. We assign the marina closest to where your group is staying.

OVERNIGHT FORMATS
Types of Overnight Yacht Rentals in Fort Lauderdale
Dockside sleep-aboards, one-night Intracoastal anchorages, Bahamas crossings, weekend voyages, and extended multi-night charters. Every overnight yacht rental in Fort Lauderdale is fully private with a crew and provisioning arranged before departure.
Most Popular
One-Night Intracoastal Anchorage
The most accessible overnight yacht charter in Fort Lauderdale. Depart at sunset, anchor in the protected calm water of Lake Sylvia inside the Las Olas Isles, and return the following morning after breakfast on deck. No offshore passage required. Ideal for first-time overnight guests, couples, and small groups who want to sleep on a yacht without a long crossing.
See Overnight FleetSleep Aboard
Dockside Sleep on a Yacht
Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capital of the world, and a dockside sleep-aboard is one of the simplest ways to spend a night on a private yacht. Stay at the slip at Bahia Mar or Pier Sixty-Six with the crew on board, dinner from a private chef, and the Intracoastal lights around you. A calm, no-crossing way to experience a night aboard.
See Overnight FleetBahamas
Bimini Bahamas Overnight
A Gulf Stream crossing to Bimini, roughly 50 nautical miles east of Port Everglades. Fort Lauderdale is one of the closest departure points to the Bahamas of any city in the United States. Depart in the evening, cross overnight, arrive in North Bimini at dawn, spend a full Bahamian day at anchor, and return the following morning. The closest international overnight destination.
See Overnight FleetWeekend
Two-Night Weekend Charter
A Friday-to-Sunday private overnight charter combining an Intracoastal anchorage on the first night and a run north to Lake Boca Raton or Hillsboro Inlet, or offshore toward Bimini, on the second. Two sunset anchorages, two mornings at anchor, and a full day of cruising and activities between them. The most complete overnight yacht rental format for groups of 4 to 12.
See Overnight FleetRomantic
Couples Overnight Charter
A private overnight charter configured for two guests. A single master cabin on a private vessel, dinner prepared by a private chef at anchor, stargazing over the Intracoastal, and a slow morning return after a cooked breakfast on deck. The most distinctive overnight experience for an anniversary or special occasion. More private than any hotel in Fort Lauderdale.
Couples ChartersExtended
Three to Seven Night Charter
Multi-night charters of three to seven days covering the full range of South Florida and the Bahamas. A week-long charter from Fort Lauderdale can reach the Bahamas out islands, West Palm Beach, and the Florida Keys. Full provisioning, a private chef, and a complete crew for the entire duration. The most comprehensive overnight yacht charter format available in Florida.
See Overnight FleetWHAT TO EXPECT
How a Fort Lauderdale Overnight Yacht Charter Actually Works
A Fort Lauderdale overnight yacht rental is simpler than most people expect. You share your dates and destination, we send a curated shortlist of overnight-capable vessels, and you show up at the marina. Here is what every overnight booking from Crown Yachts Miami includes from first inquiry to morning return.
SLEEPING ACCOMMODATION
Private Sleeping Cabins on a Dedicated Vessel
Overnight-capable vessels in the Crown Yachts Miami fleet range from 65 to 116 feet and carry 2 to 6 private sleeping cabins. Smaller 65 to 75-foot vessels sleep 4 to 8 guests. Larger 88 to 116-foot vessels accommodate 8 to 16 sleeping guests across 4 to 6 cabins. Every vessel listing we send includes the cabin layout, number of berths, and a description of the overnight experience aboard that specific vessel.
CREW ON WATCH ALL NIGHT
Captain and Crew on Board Throughout the Night
Every Crown Yachts Miami overnight charter includes a USCG-licensed captain and a full crew for the entire duration of the booking, including the night at anchor. The captain handles all navigation, anchoring, and overnight watches. Guests do not need any boating experience or license. The crew remains on deck and available throughout the night at every anchorage.
COMPLETELY PRIVATE
Your Vessel, Your Group, Your Anchorage
Every overnight boat rental is entirely private. No shared passengers, no other guests on board at any point. The vessel is yours for the entire booking from sunset departure through the morning return. You choose the anchorage, the route, and how long you stay in each location. The captain builds the overnight itinerary around your preferences and adjusts for sea conditions on the night of departure.
ROUTE OPTIONS
Intracoastal, the Bahamas, or the Florida Keys
A single overnight from Fort Lauderdale can anchor at Lake Sylvia on the Intracoastal or stay dockside at the marina slip. Larger offshore-capable vessels complete a Bahamas crossing to Bimini as a two-night round trip, with Fort Lauderdale one of the closest gateways in the country. Multi-night charters extend north to Lake Boca Raton and West Palm Beach or south along the Hawk Channel toward the Florida Keys. The captain advises on the best route for your dates and current sea conditions.
PROVISIONING AND CHEF
Every Meal Loaded Before You Board
Full provisioning for all meals is arranged before departure. A private chef prepares sunset dinner at the first anchorage, a cooked breakfast on deck in the morning, and any additional meals for multi-night bookings. The open bar, glassware, ice, and all food items are stocked and ready from the moment the group boards. Nothing to coordinate on the day of departure.
FLEXIBLE DURATION
One Night to Seven Nights at Your Pace
Overnight charters range from a single Intracoastal anchorage or dockside sleep-aboard to a seven-day voyage covering the Bahamas and the Florida Keys. A one-night Intracoastal anchor is the most common entry point. A week-long charter can cover the Bahamas out islands and the South Florida coast. Most overnight guests begin with one night and return for longer bookings.
DEPARTURE POINTS
Overnight Charter Departure Marinas
Overnight charters depart from all major Fort Lauderdale marinas. We assign the marina closest to your hotel or address, with deep-water berths at Bahia Mar, Pier Sixty-Six, and Lauderdale Marina for larger overnight vessels and Bahamas crossings.
