Sitting right at Hillsboro Inlet, it offers some of the fastest ocean access of any neighborhood in the region, with no long Intracoastal run to reach the Atlantic.

THE HISTORIC HILLSBORO LIGHTHOUSE

The Landmark That Gives the City Its Name

The Hillsboro Lighthouse, standing at the north side of Hillsboro Inlet since 1907, is one of the brightest lighthouses in the United States and the landmark Lighthouse Point is named for. Charters pass directly beneath it on the way to the ocean, a defining moment of any Lighthouse Point yacht rental.

Through Hillsboro Inlet, the living reef line off Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach is minutes away.

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!

Can Lighthouse Point charters reach the ocean quickly?
Yes. Lighthouse Point sits right at Hillsboro Inlet, giving it some of the fastest ocean access of any neighborhood in South Florida. There is no long Intracoastal run to reach the Atlantic, so charters are on the open water and at the reef line within minutes of leaving the dock.

Yes. Birthday charters and bachelorette parties are popular from Lighthouse Point, with the reef, the sandbar at Lake Boca Raton, and the lighthouse making a memorable day on the water. DJ, catering and bar, and decoration are the most common add-ons.
Can you see the Hillsboro Lighthouse on a charter?
Yes. The Hillsboro Lighthouse stands at the north side of Hillsboro Inlet, and charters departing Lighthouse Point pass directly beneath it on the way to the ocean.

Can you snorkel or dive the reef from Lighthouse Point?
Yes. Through Hillsboro Inlet, the living reef line off Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach is minutes away.

Many Lighthouse Point homes have private dockage on deep-water canals, and boarding from a private dock may be possible on request, depending on the vessel's size and the canal and inlet access. Most charters board at nearby Lighthouse Point Marina or Sands Harbor, which is simpler and works for every vessel. Share your dock location and we will confirm what is possible for your yacht.
What types of yacht charters are most popular from Lighthouse Point?
Reef and snorkel trips through Hillsboro Inlet, Lake Boca Raton sandbar days, lighthouse and ocean cruises, and private corporate, birthday, and bachelorette celebrations are the most frequently booked charter types from Lighthouse Point.
