HOW TO BOOK
Booking a Weekly Charter from Fort Lauderdale
01
Contact Us with Your Week and Group
A weekly charter needs more lead time than a day booking. Reach out with your preferred week, group size, and whether you are leaning toward the Bahamas or the Florida Keys. We confirm available crewed vessels and outline the options that fit your group and route.
02
Choose Your Vessel and Cabin Layout
We send a shortlist of crewed yachts with the cabin count and layout your group needs for 5 to 7 nights. Larger motor yachts and superyachts offer multiple private cabins, air-conditioned salons, and the range for a Bahamas crossing. Every option includes captain and crew.
03
Set the Route and Itinerary
The captain builds the week around your priorities: a Gulf Stream crossing to Bimini and the Berry Islands, a southbound Florida Keys week, or a mix of local reefs and offshore anchorages. Boarding day, anchorages, and the return are all charted in advance.
04
Confirm Provisioning and Add-Ons
Full provisioning, a private chef, bar stock, watersports gear, and any special-occasion setup are finalized 2 to 3 weeks before departure. Dietary preferences and cabin allocation are locked in so nothing needs arranging on boarding day.
05
Confirm with a Deposit
A deposit secures the vessel and the week. You receive a full charter agreement covering the marina address, boarding time, captain contact, the confirmed itinerary, and every inclusion and add-on. Passports and Bahamas cruising documentation are reviewed for any international leg.
06
Board and Cast Off for the Week
Arrive at the marina in Fort Lauderdale, unpack once, and settle into your cabin. The captain briefs the group on the week's route, the crew has everything loaded, and the yacht departs. For the next 5 to 7 nights, the vessel is your home on the water.
WEEKLY ROUTES
Weekly Charter Routes from Fort Lauderdale
Your captain builds the week around your priorities. Cross the Gulf Stream to Bimini and the Bahamas, route south to the Florida Keys, or stay along the South Florida reefs. These are the anchorages a weekly charter reaches from Fort Lauderdale.
Select a destination to see where it is
Bimini, Bahamas
Day 1 crossingThe closest Bahamian island to the US mainland, roughly 50 nautical miles east of Fort Lauderdale across the Gulf Stream. The crossing takes 3 to 5 hours on a motor yacht. Clear water, the Bimini Road, and the SS Sapona wreck make it the classic first stop on a weekly Bahamas charter.
Just south of Bimini, Gun Cay and the Cat Cay anchorage offer sheltered, crystal-clear water and the Honeymoon Harbour sandbar. A favorite weekly-charter anchorage for swimming, snorkeling, and a quiet night at anchor in the Bahamas.
A chain of small cays northeast of the Bimini group, reachable on a longer weekly itinerary. Remote anchorages, world-class snorkeling, and near-empty beaches make the Berry Islands the highlight of an extended Bahamas week from Fort Lauderdale.
For groups who prefer to stay in US waters, the captain routes south from Fort Lauderdale toward Key Largo, Islamorada, and the Upper Keys. Reef snorkeling, backcountry flats, and waterfront dining make a Keys-direction week a relaxed alternative to the Bahamas crossing.
The scenic ocean inlet north of Fort Lauderdale, marked by the historic Hillsboro Lighthouse. A clear-water reef and anchor stop for the first or last day of the week, close to home and ideal for a shakedown day before the offshore crossing.
A living coral reef within yards of the beach off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, ideal for a snorkel and swim stop at the start or end of the week. One of the few reef systems in Florida reachable directly from an anchored yacht.

FAQ
Weekly Yacht Charter Fort Lauderdale FAQ
- What is a weekly yacht charter in Fort Lauderdale?
- A weekly yacht charter in Fort Lauderdale is a fully crewed, multi-night private charter, typically 5 to 7 nights, on a yacht with private cabins for your group. Your group sleeps aboard, the captain and crew handle everything, and the itinerary can cover the Bahamas, the Florida Keys, or the South Florida coast. Provisioning, a private chef, and watersports gear are arranged before departure.
- How much does a weekly boat rental in Fort Lauderdale cost?
- A weekly yacht charter in Fort Lauderdale is priced by the vessel, the number of nights, and the itinerary. A fully crewed weekly charter with private cabins, provisioning, and a Bahamas or Keys route is a premium booking, typically starting in the tens of thousands for the week and scaling with yacht size. Contact us with your week, group size, and preferred route for a tailored quote.
- Where can a weekly yacht charter from Fort Lauderdale go?
- Fort Lauderdale is the closest major US departure point to the Bahamas. A weekly charter can cross the Gulf Stream to Bimini, Gun Cay, and the Berry Islands in a few hours, or route south to the Florida Keys. Shorter weeks stay along the South Florida coast with reef stops at Hillsboro Inlet and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
- How many people can a weekly yacht charter sleep?
- The number of overnight guests depends on the vessel's cabin count. Weekly charter yachts from Fort Lauderdale typically sleep 4 to 12 guests across private cabins, with day capacity higher for guests joining at anchor. Larger superyachts offer more cabins.
- Do I need a passport for a weekly Bahamas charter from Fort Lauderdale?
- Yes. Any weekly charter that crosses to the Bahamas requires a valid passport for every guest, and the vessel clears Bahamian customs and immigration on arrival. Crown Yachts Miami reviews the cruising documentation before departure. Weekly charters that stay in US waters, such as a Florida Keys route, do not require a passport.
- What is included in a weekly yacht rental in Fort Lauderdale?
- Every weekly charter includes the vessel, a USCG-licensed captain, and professional crew for the full 5 to 7 nights, plus fuel within the planned itinerary and full use of private cabins. Private chef provisioning, an open bar, watersports gear, and special-occasion setups are arranged as part of the package or as add-ons.
- When is the best time for a weekly yacht charter from Fort Lauderdale?
- November through May is the recommended window for weekly charters and Bahamas crossings from Fort Lauderdale: settled weather, calm Gulf Stream conditions, and comfortable temperatures. This window avoids peak hurricane season, August through October. Boat Show week and the December holidays are the busiest periods.
- How far in advance should I book a weekly yacht charter in Fort Lauderdale?
- Weekly charters need more lead time than day bookings because of provisioning, crew scheduling, and route planning. We recommend at least six to eight weeks, and significantly earlier for peak dates including the December holidays, spring break, and Boat Show week.
