SOUTH-CENTRAL MIAMI-DADE

Kendall Yacht Charters, Private and Fully Crewed

A Kendall yacht rental through Crown Yachts Miami means exclusive use of a fully crewed private vessel. One group, one boat, no shared passengers. The fleet covers 55+ luxury yachts and boats from 40-foot sport boats to 116-foot superyachts, with a licensed captain and crew on every booking. Every Kendall yacht rental is handled the same way: fully private, fully crewed, and managed from first inquiry to the final dock approach at Dinner Key Marina.

Kendall is the largest unincorporated community in Florida, stretching across the south-central corridor of Miami-Dade along US-1 and the Palmetto Expressway. Its density of families and one of the strongest quinceañera and birthday markets in the county make private yacht charters on Biscayne Bay a signature way to mark a milestone. Every Kendall boat rental departs from Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove, a straight 20-minute run north on US-1, giving Kendall groups direct access to the Nixon Sandbar, Star Island, and the Coconut Grove waterfront anchorage closest to home.

Every boat rental Kendall visitors book through Crown Yachts Miami is fully customizable before you board. Add a private chef, professional DJ, custom decoration, catering service, or VIP transport from your Kendall address to the marina.

MIAMI-DADE'S LARGEST COMMUNITY

Kendall: The Family and Celebration Heart of South-Central Miami-Dade

Kendall is the largest unincorporated community in Florida, with over 175,000 residents spread across the south-central corridor of Miami-Dade County along US-1 and the Palmetto Expressway. It is one of the strongest birthday, quinceañera, and large family celebration charter markets in all of Miami-Dade. A private yacht charter on Biscayne Bay is the most memorable way to mark a milestone for Kendall families, and Crown Yachts Miami handles Kendall charters from first inquiry to the final dock approach at Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove.

COMPLETELY PRIVATE

The Entire Vessel Reserved for Your Group

Every Crown Yachts Miami Kendall charter is a fully private booking. No shared passengers, no group tour format, no other guests on board. Your group boards, the yacht departs, and every detail of the day belongs entirely to you. The vessel, captain, and crew are available exclusively to your group for the full charter duration.

DINNER KEY MARINA

Miami's Largest Marina, 20 Minutes North on US-1

Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove is the largest marina in Miami and the primary departure for Kendall charters. From central Kendall it is a straight 20-minute run north on US-1, the South Dixie Highway, with no expressway transfers. Ample waterfront parking, easy rideshare drop-off, and calm protected dock conditions make Dinner Key the most consistent departure for south-central Miami-Dade charters.

DUAL SOUTH BAY CORRIDOR

Dinner Key to the North and Black Point Marina to the South

Kendall's central position gives it a reach no other community outside Palmetto Bay can match. Dinner Key Marina opens the central and north bay corridor toward the Nixon Sandbar and Star Island, while Black Point Park and Marina, 20 to 25 minutes south, opens Biscayne National Park and the outer bay island chain. Full-day Kendall charters can combine both directions on a single itinerary.

EVERY ADD-ON PRE-LOADED

Private Chef, DJ, and Decoration Ready Before You Board

The private chef, professional DJ with full sound and lighting, bartender, and custom decoration for birthdays and quinceañeras are coordinated and loaded before your group arrives at the marina. VIP black car transport from your Kendall address to Dinner Key Marina is available so your group boards without coordinating rideshares from south-central Miami-Dade.

CHARTER DURATION

Half-Day to Full-Day Kendall Yacht Charters

Kendall yacht and boat charters are available in 4-hour, 6-hour, and 8-hour formats. A 4-hour charter from Dinner Key covers the Coconut Grove waterfront, the Nixon Sandbar, and a central bay skyline pass. A 6 to 8-hour charter adds a Star Island circuit or a full-day Black Point run into Biscayne National Park. Multi-day charters to the Bahamas are available on select vessels.

DEPARTURE POINTS

Select a destination to see where it is

Nixon Sandbar

Most Requested

The most requested destination on any Kendall yacht charter, a protected shallow anchorage at the northern tip of Key Biscayne. From Dinner Key Marina the on-water transit is 25 to 30 minutes through the south bay. Swimming, floating, and watersports in calm, clear water make Nixon Sandbar the defining anchor stop on every Kendall half-day and full-day charter. View Nixon Sandbar charter details.

The Coconut Grove waterfront anchorage is under 10 minutes from Dinner Key Marina and is the closest calm-water bay position to Kendall in all of Miami-Dade. Anchoring in the Coconut Grove basin with the sailing clubs and the tree-canopied South Bayshore Drive shoreline as a backdrop gives a protected, intimate setting well-suited for birthday celebrations and anniversary dinners on shorter Kendall routes.

Miami's most photographed private island, home to celebrity-owned waterfront estates accessible only by water. From Dinner Key Marina the transit north through central Biscayne Bay is 25 to 35 minutes. The slow cruise along the Star Island estate waterfront, with the downtown Miami and Brickell skyline framing the approach, is the most visually distinctive moment on any central bay Kendall route. View Star Island yacht tour.

The downtown Miami and Brickell skylines viewed from central Biscayne Bay are 30 to 40 minutes north of Dinner Key Marina. Evening Kendall charters anchored opposite the Brickell tower cluster, with the city lights reflecting on open water, are the most dramatic sunset position available from a south bay departure. The approach from the south past Coconut Grove and Star Island is distinct from any downtown departure. View Miami skyline cruise details.

The largest marine park in the National Park System, 95 percent water, is 15 to 25 minutes south of Black Point Marina at the park's northern boundary. Elliott Key, Adams Key, and Boca Chita Key are accessible inside the park, with clear water, natural beaches, and reef snorkeling along the Atlantic-facing barrier islands. Biscayne National Park is the primary destination for Kendall charters choosing Black Point as their departure.

Key Biscayne is Miami's barrier island accessible from Dinner Key Marina in 20 to 25 minutes by water via the south bay. The Cape Florida Lighthouse at the island's southern tip is the oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County. The Key Biscayne circuit covering Crandon Park Beach, the lighthouse, and Nixon Sandbar is a complete south bay half-day itinerary from Kendall.

Multi-day Bahamas crossings from Kendall charters depart via the south bay and Cape Florida channel to open Atlantic water, crossing 50 nautical miles to Bimini. Available on select vessels as an overnight or multi-day charter with full professional crew and concierge service. View Miami to Bahamas charter details.

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!
