WHY DORAL
Why Choose Doral for Your Yacht Charter
Doral is Miami-Dade's corporate capital, 25 to 30 minutes from Dinner Key Marina and direct Biscayne Bay access via the south bay's most distinctive destinations.
Corporate Capital
Miami-Dade's Business Hub with the Highest Concentration of Corporate Offices
Doral is the corporate capital of Miami-Dade County, home to hundreds of Latin American regional headquarters, multinational offices, and professional service firms concentrated around the NW 87th Avenue corridor and the Doral business district. The city's dense corporate environment makes private yacht charters the most frequently requested form of client entertainment and executive events among Doral-based businesses. Crown Yachts Miami works directly with Doral-based companies on corporate charters, client dinners on the water, and team events departing from Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove.
Marina Access
Dinner Key Marina — The Largest Marina in Miami — 25 to 30 Minutes Away
Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove is the largest marina in Miami and the primary departure point for Doral yacht charters. From most Doral addresses, the marina is 25 to 30 minutes via US-1 south through Coral Gables and into Coconut Grove, or via the Palmetto Expressway to the Dolphin Expressway and then US-1. Dinner Key provides direct Biscayne Bay south access, the most consistent departure conditions in the metro, and is the starting point for Key Biscayne, Nixon Sandbar, and Biscayne National Park charters.
South Bay Routes
Key Biscayne, Nixon Sandbar, and Biscayne National Park on Every Full-Day Route
Doral yacht charters departing from Dinner Key Marina have direct access to the south Biscayne Bay corridor that is more time-consuming to reach from northern Miami-Dade departure points. Nixon Sandbar at the southern tip of Key Biscayne, accessible via Crandon Park Marina in 15 to 20 minutes by water, is the most popular south bay anchorage for Doral groups. Biscayne National Park, reachable via Black Point Marina in under 30 minutes by water, is the most scenic full-day destination available from a Doral charter and is unique to the south bay route.
Central Bay
Star Island, Brickell Skyline, and Central Biscayne Bay from One Departure
From Dinner Key Marina, the central Biscayne Bay is immediately accessible to the north. Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island are under 20 minutes from the marina. The downtown Miami and Brickell skylines viewed from open bay between the Venetian and MacArthur causeways are under 30 minutes by water from Doral's primary departure point. No other departure corridor in Miami-Dade gives guests from a western mainland city such direct access to the full Biscayne Bay range from south to north in a single charter.
WHERE WE DEPART
Marina Departure Points Near Doral
Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove is the primary departure for Doral charters. Additional marinas serve specific south bay and downtown itineraries.
Primary Marina
Dinner Key Marina, Coconut Grove
Dinner Key Marina is the largest marina in Miami and the primary departure for all Doral charters. Located in Coconut Grove on the western shore of Biscayne Bay, the marina is 25 to 30 minutes from most Doral addresses via US-1 south. From Dinner Key, the charter route north reaches Star Island in under 20 minutes, the Venetian Islands in under 25 minutes, and the downtown skyline bay position in under 30 minutes. The route south reaches Rickenbacker Marina, Key Biscayne, and Nixon Sandbar within 20 to 30 minutes by water.
South Bay
Rickenbacker Marina and Crandon Park Marina, Key Biscayne
Rickenbacker Marina at the Rickenbacker Causeway entrance and Crandon Park Marina on Key Biscayne are the preferred departure points for Doral charters whose itinerary focuses on Nixon Sandbar, Virginia Key, and Key Biscayne waters. Both marinas are 25 to 35 minutes from Doral via the Dolphin Expressway east and the Rickenbacker Causeway. Crandon Park Marina, directly adjacent to Nixon Sandbar by water, is used by Doral groups when the sandbar is the primary destination and minimizing on-water transit time matters.
Central Downtown
Island Gardens Marina, Watson Island
Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island is 25 to 35 minutes from Doral via the Dolphin Expressway east to MacArthur Causeway. This deep-water marina serves Doral charters requiring central Biscayne Bay departure, downtown event proximity, or larger vessels above 100 feet. Corporate charters from Doral combining a bay dinner cruise with a Brickell or downtown Miami event use Island Gardens as the departure and return point, minimizing transit for clients attending back-to-back land and water events.
Secondary
Bayshore Landing, Coconut Grove
Bayshore Landing in Coconut Grove is adjacent to Dinner Key Marina and serves as a secondary departure for Doral charters when Dinner Key is at capacity. The marina is on the same Coconut Grove waterfront, steps from Monty's Restaurant and the City Hall waterfront, with the same Biscayne Bay access as Dinner Key. The drive time from Doral is identical to Dinner Key Marina at 25 to 30 minutes via US-1 south.

Charter Routes and Views from Doral
Doral charters cover Nixon Sandbar, Key Biscayne, the Coconut Grove waterfront, Star Island, the Brickell and downtown Miami skyline, and Biscayne National Park on full-day routes.
Most Popular
Nixon Sandbar and Key Biscayne
Nixon Sandbar, the secluded anchorage at the southern tip of Key Biscayne accessible from Crandon Park Marina, is the most requested destination on any Doral charter. From Dinner Key Marina, the on-water transit to Nixon Sandbar via the Rickenbacker passage is under 30 minutes. The sandbar is named for the Nixon White House's Key Biscayne compound and sits in protected waters inside the barrier island with calm conditions most of the year. Doral guests on a Nixon Sandbar charter are typically the only group from western Miami-Dade at that anchorage on any given day.
South Bay
Biscayne National Park
Biscayne National Park, the largest marine park in the continental United States, is accessible on full-day Doral charters via Black Point Marina at the southern end of the bay. The park's 172,971 acres encompass the northern Florida Keys reef system, mangrove shoreline, and offshore shipwrecks along the Atlantic reef line. A Doral full-day charter routed south past Key Biscayne into Biscayne National Park covers more marine environment than any other single-day itinerary available from a Miami-Dade departure point.
Celebrity Estates
Star Island and the Celebrity Island Chain
Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island in central Biscayne Bay are under 20 minutes from Dinner Key Marina by water. The celebrity island chain, home to some of the most photographed private estates in Miami, is the most requested scenic circuit on Doral corporate charters. From Dinner Key, the route north through central bay passes the Coconut Grove waterfront, the downtown skyline, and the Venetian Islands before reaching the Star Island channel.
Skyline
Downtown Miami and Brickell Skyline from the Bay
The downtown Miami and Brickell skylines viewed from open Biscayne Bay are under 30 minutes from Dinner Key Marina by water. For Doral corporate clients, the combination of a Coconut Grove departure, a central bay cruise, and the downtown skyline at golden hour is the most frequently requested business entertainment format. Evening charters from Doral arriving at the downtown bay position as the city lights come on are the standard end-of-quarter client entertainment format for Doral-based executive teams.
Coconut Grove
Coconut Grove Waterfront Circuit
The Coconut Grove waterfront, directly adjacent to Dinner Key Marina, is the most distinctive marina neighborhood in Miami. Charters departing Dinner Key and routing along the Coconut Grove waterfront pass the Miami City Hall building on Dinner Key Island, the historic Coconut Grove sailing club complex, and the residential waterfront before reaching open bay. The Coconut Grove circuit is a unique 30 to 45 minute routing used as an opening hour on longer Doral charters before heading north to Star Island or south to Key Biscayne.
Open Ocean
Atlantic Ocean via Government Cut or Cape Florida
Open Atlantic access from Doral charters is via two routes: Government Cut at the southern tip of Miami Beach, accessible via Island Gardens Marina and 30 minutes by water to the inlet, or the Cape Florida channel at the southern tip of Key Biscayne, accessible from Dinner Key in 20 to 30 minutes to open water. Doral charters using the Cape Florida route enter Atlantic waters via a historic lighthouse passage and immediately reach the outer reef line used for snorkeling and fishing.

WHAT TO KNOW
Planning Your Doral Yacht Charter
01
Getting to the Marina from Doral
Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove is the most direct marina from Doral. The standard route is US-1 south from Doral through Coral Gables into Coconut Grove, which takes 25 to 30 minutes outside of rush hour. An alternative is the Palmetto Expressway south to the Dolphin Expressway east and then US-1 south. For charters routing to Key Biscayne or Nixon Sandbar, Crandon Park Marina via the Dolphin and Rickenbacker Causeway is approximately 30 minutes from Doral. We recommend arriving 20 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
02
Parking at Doral Departure Marinas
Dinner Key Marina has a large paid parking lot on the Coconut Grove waterfront adjacent to the marina entrance. On weekday evenings during corporate event season the lot is busy but rarely full. Weekend day charters at Dinner Key benefit from early arrival before 10am on busy days. For corporate groups arriving in multiple vehicles or rideshares, the Dinner Key lot handles large groups without the congestion issues typical of Miami Beach barrier island marinas. Crandon Park Marina on Key Biscayne has its own park parking with access fees.
03
Best Time of Day for a Doral Charter
Morning charters departing Dinner Key between 9am and 11am reach Key Biscayne and Nixon Sandbar before the weekend anchorage crowd peaks. Afternoon charters from 1pm to 4pm reach central Biscayne Bay at the most active social time. Corporate evening charters departing between 5pm and 7pm arrive at the downtown bay and Star Island position at golden hour, which is the most requested format for Doral executive entertainment. The Biscayne Bay south and central bay positions available from Dinner Key have reliably calm conditions in the afternoon through sunset window.
04
Charter Duration from Doral
Most Doral charters run 3 to 5 hours. A 3-hour charter from Dinner Key Marina covers a Coconut Grove waterfront circuit, a transit north to Star Island, and a return with a downtown bay skyline view. A 4-hour charter adds time at anchor near Key Biscayne or a full loop to Nixon Sandbar. A 5 to 6 hour full-day charter routing south to Nixon Sandbar in the morning and north to Star Island in the afternoon is the most complete single-day bay itinerary from Doral. Corporate dinner charters typically run 3 to 4 hours in the evening.
05
Group Size and Vessel Selection
Private yacht charters from Doral accommodate groups from 2 to 13 guests on standard vessels. Doral has a high proportion of corporate and business entertainment groups, which tend to book larger sport yachts in the 65 to 105 foot range for client events and formal dinner formats. Motor yachts in the 45 to 75 foot range suit most Doral social charter group sizes. Contact us for configurations above 13 guests or for dedicated corporate event programming.
06
