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. Marinda also helped capture so many great moments for us, which made the whole experience even better. We will absolutely be returning!

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!

FAQ

Miami Wedding Yacht Rentals: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year for a yacht wedding in Miami?
Miami yacht weddings are possible year-round. The most popular months are November through April when temperatures are in the mid-70s to low-80s and humidity is lower. May through October is warmer and sees more afternoon rain showers. Morning and evening charters during these months are excellent options. Sunset weddings in any month are consistently beautiful.
What time should a yacht wedding start for sunset photos in Miami?
For sunset photos on a Miami yacht wedding, a charter start time of 4:30 to 5:00 PM works best year-round. Sunset in Miami ranges from around 5:30 PM in December to 8:00 PM in June. Starting your charter 90 minutes to 2 hours before sunset gives you time for the ceremony and still positions you on the water during golden hour for photos. Our team checks the exact sunset time for your date and plans the route so you are in the right location when the light is best.
Which day of the week is best for a Miami yacht wedding?
Saturday is the most popular day for wedding yacht charters in Miami, followed by Sunday. Weekday charters are available and often easier to book with more vessel availability. For smaller elopements or micro-weddings, a Friday or Sunday charter means a quieter marina and more relaxed boarding. Regardless of the day, the experience is the same: your group has the vessel exclusively for the full charter duration.
How long should a wedding yacht charter be?
Most couples book 4 hours, which gives you time for the ceremony, a short cruise, photos, and a champagne toast. For a full celebration with a private chef, DJ, and reception, 6 hours is more common. Elopements can often be arranged in 3 hours. We advise on the best duration based on your plans and guest count.
What does a yacht wedding cost in Miami?
Wedding yacht rental pricing in Miami depends on vessel size, group count, and charter duration. Every charter includes captain, crew, fuel, ice, and water. Add-ons such as catering, decorations, a DJ, and photography are available at additional cost. Contact us for a personalized quote.
What is included in a wedding yacht charter?
Every wedding yacht charter includes a USCG-licensed captain and professional crew, fuel for the planned route, ice and bottled water, a premium Bluetooth sound system, a swim platform, and all life safety equipment. The yacht is yours exclusively for the booking period. Optional add-ons include a private chef, catering, decorations, a DJ, photography, videography, drone coverage, bartender service, VIP transport, and jet skis.
Can we have both the ceremony and reception on the same yacht?
Yes. Most couples use the main deck or salon for the ceremony, then transition to the upper deck or flybridge for the reception cruise. Our flybridge yachts have a covered salon for the ceremony and an open upper deck for celebrating, all on the same vessel. We coordinate the flow and timing so the transition is seamless.
Can we elope on a yacht in Miami?
Absolutely. An elopement yacht rental in Miami is one of the most romantic options we offer. Just the two of you, an officiant, and the open bay. We arrange the decorations, champagne, and photography. It can be booked on shorter notice than a full wedding charter and can often be arranged within a few days.
How many guests can attend a yacht wedding?
Our yachts accommodate between 6 and 13 guests depending on the vessel. For larger wedding groups of 20 or more, we have vessels up to 116 feet with multiple deck levels. Contact us and we'll help you find the perfect yacht for your guest count.
Can we customize decorations?
Yes. Our decoration team prepares the yacht in advance with custom floral arrangements, rose petals, candles, table settings, and themed setups that match your wedding vision. Everything is on board before you arrive.
What should guests wear for a yacht wedding?
Smart casual to semi-formal is the most common dress code for yacht weddings in Miami. Light fabrics work best in the Miami climate. We recommend guests avoid very high heels on deck.
Can we bring our own drinks?
Yes, you're welcome to bring your own beverages. We can also arrange premium champagne and wine packages, a full bartender service, or a custom beverage package as an add-on.
How far in advance should I book a wedding yacht in Miami?
For a Saturday wedding yacht charter in Miami, we recommend booking 4 to 8 weeks in advance to secure your preferred vessel and date. For peak months — November through April — booking 2 to 3 months ahead gives you the best choice of yachts. Elopements and last-minute weddings can often be arranged within a few days if availability allows. Contact us with your date and we will confirm what is available immediately.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety is our priority. If conditions are not suitable for sailing on your wedding day, we will work with you to reschedule at no extra cost. Miami weather is generally excellent, and the vast majority of charters run without issue.
What is included in a yacht wedding package in Miami?
Our yacht wedding packages in Miami include the private yacht rental in Miami, USCG-licensed captain and crew, fuel, ice, and Bluetooth audio as standard. Optional add-ons that can be built into an all-inclusive wedding package include a private chef with a wedding menu tailored to your preferences, catering, yacht decoration with custom décor and floral arrangements, a private DJ with onboard setup, a dance floor on the upper deck, professional photography and videography, bartender service, and VIP transport for your guests. Our event planners coordinate all vendors before your boarding time so your wedding plans are fully handled. Every package is tailored to your preferences. Share your vision and we build the perfect day around it.
Is a private yacht the perfect wedding venue in Miami?
A private yacht is widely considered the most unique and perfect wedding venue Miami has to offer. Unlike fixed event spaces on land, a yacht gives you breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline, and South Florida's waterways as your backdrop. There are no shared event spaces, no strangers walking through your ceremony, and no compromises on your wedding plans. The entire vessel is yours for the charter duration. Whether you are looking at Miami yacht rentals, boats in Miami, or boat rental options, the combination of privacy, elegance, and scenery on the water is unmatched anywhere in South Florida. Crown Yachts Miami arranges weddings aboard private yachts for couples across Miami Beach, downtown Miami, and Fort Lauderdale.
