MIAMI BEACH YACHT CHARTERS
Private Yacht Charters from Miami Beach, Florida
Miami Beach is a seven-mile barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, home to four distinct marina departure zones and more variety of water access than any other Miami-area departure point. From the Art Deco architecture of South Beach at the southern tip to Haulover Sandbar in the north, a Miami Beach yacht charter gives guests both the calm protected bay and the open Atlantic within a single half-day radius. Crown Yachts Miami operates a fleet of over 55 private yachts available for Miami Beach departures.
Private yacht charters from Miami Beach serve every occasion the island is known for: bachelorette parties from South Beach hotels, birthday celebrations anchored at Haulover Sandbar, sunset cruises on Biscayne Bay, proposals on the Venetian Islands route, and corporate client entertainment for companies based on or visiting Miami Beach. The island's hotel density and visitor volume make Miami Beach the most active charter departure zone in South Florida.
Every charter is fully customizable with private catering, a private chef on board, a DJ, custom yacht decoration, watersports equipment, and VIP transport from your hotel to the marina.

WHY MIAMI BEACH
Why Choose Miami Beach for Your Yacht Charter
Miami Beach offers four marina zones, direct Haulover Sandbar access, two Atlantic inlets, and the full Intracoastal Waterway in a single departure island.
Location
The Most Recognized Waterfront Island in Florida
Miami Beach is a barrier island stretching seven miles between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, connected to the mainland by five causeways. The combination of a bay side with calm, protected water for cruising and a Atlantic side with open ocean access gives Miami Beach charter guests more variety of water environment within a single departure than anywhere else in South Florida. The bay side offers the city skyline views; the Atlantic side offers open water, the reef line, and offshore cruising.
Haulover Sandbar
Gateway to Miami's Most Popular Sandbar
Haulover Sandbar is Miami's most visited boating destination, a shallow, festive anchorage north of Miami Beach where dozens of vessels gather on weekends. Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park is the closest launch point, putting the sandbar within 10 minutes of departure. For guests who want the full Miami boat party experience with music, floating, and the social energy of the Haulover sandbar scene, Miami Beach is the only practical departure point.
Hotels and Access
Steps from Miami Beach's Best Hotels
Miami Beach Marina at 300 Alton Road, the island's primary charter departure point, is within walking distance or a short rideshare from the major South Beach hotels on Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive. Guests staying at any Miami Beach hotel can reach the marina in under 15 minutes. The Intracoastal Waterway marinas in mid-Miami Beach are similarly close to the hotel strip. No other Miami departure requires guests to cross a causeway, making Miami Beach the most logistically convenient option for hotel guests.
Scenery
Intracoastal Waterway and the Hotel Strip
The Intracoastal Waterway runs the full length of Miami Beach on the bay side, flanked by the towers of the Collins Avenue hotel strip on one side and the Venetian and Julia Tuttle Causeways on the other. Cruising the Intracoastal from a Miami Beach marina provides a continuously changing urban waterscape with the hotels visible at close range from the water. No other Miami water route puts guests this close to the landmark architecture of the beach hotel district.
WHERE WE DEPART
Marina Departure Points on Miami Beach
Miami Beach has four marina zones covering the length of the island. The right marina depends on where guests are staying and the charter itinerary.
Primary Marina
Miami Beach Marina
Miami Beach Marina at 300 Alton Road is the island's largest and most full-featured departure marina, located at the southern tip of Miami Beach adjacent to South Beach. The marina has a large parking lot, fuel docks, direct bay access, and slip space for vessels of all sizes. It is the closest marina to Ocean Drive, the major South Beach hotels, and South Pointe Park, making it the most convenient departure point for guests staying or celebrating anywhere in the southern half of Miami Beach.
North Miami Beach
Bill Bird Marina, Haulover
Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park in north Miami Beach is the premier departure point for charters targeting Haulover Sandbar. The marina sits directly adjacent to the sandbar, putting guests at the most popular Miami Bay anchorage in under 10 minutes. Haulover Park has a large free parking lot, making it the most practical option for groups arriving by car from Aventura, Sunny Isles, and northern Miami Beach. The marina also has direct Atlantic Ocean access via Haulover Inlet.
Mid-Beach
Pelican Harbor Marina
Pelican Harbor Marina near the 79th Street Causeway serves guests from central and north Miami Beach with easy highway access from I-195. The marina sits in a protected harbor with calm docking conditions and is well-suited to mid-Miami Beach hotel guests who prefer not to travel to the southern tip for departure. Pelican Harbor is a quieter marina compared to Miami Beach Marina, with a more residential feel and less weekend congestion.
Boutique
Sunset Harbour Yacht Club
Sunset Harbour Yacht Club in the Sunset Harbour neighbourhood of mid-Miami Beach is a boutique departure option for guests in the Sunset Harbour, Venetian Islands, and mid-Collins Avenue areas. The marina has a quiet, residential character with street parking nearby and direct bay access. It is suited to smaller charter groups and intimate events like proposals and romantic dinners where a calm, low-key boarding environment is preferred over the energy of the larger marinas.

ON THE WATER
Charter Routes and Views from Miami Beach
A Miami Beach yacht charter covers Haulover Sandbar, the Intracoastal Waterway, Venetian Islands, Government Cut, and the open Atlantic from a single island departure zone.
Most Popular
Haulover Sandbar
Haulover Sandbar is Miami's most popular boat party destination, a shallow, festive anchorage north of Miami Beach where the water is knee-deep and dozens of vessels anchor together on busy weekends. From Bill Bird Marina, the sandbar is 10 minutes away. From Miami Beach Marina in the south, the Intracoastal route north takes 30 to 40 minutes. The sandbar is the single most requested destination on any Miami Beach charter and is consistently rated the highlight of the day by guests who experience it for the first time.
Open Water
Haulover Inlet and the Atlantic
Haulover Inlet at the northern end of Miami Beach is the channel connecting the Intracoastal Waterway to the open Atlantic Ocean. Passing through the inlet and turning south into open water puts guests on the Atlantic along the Miami Beach shoreline, with the hotel towers of Collins Avenue visible from the sea. The inlet crossing gives charters access to offshore fishing, open-ocean cruising, and the Atlantic reef line within 15 to 20 minutes of departure from north Miami Beach marinas.
Scenic Islands
Venetian Islands
The Venetian Islands are a chain of man-made islands in Biscayne Bay connected by the Venetian Causeway between Miami and Miami Beach. Cruising through the Venetian Island channels by private yacht provides a close look at the waterfront homes and private docks lining both sides of the causeway, with the downtown Miami skyline in the distance to the west. The Venetian route is particularly popular on sunset charters from Miami Beach Marina because the low-angle light on the causeway bridges and the still bay water produce exceptional photography.
Star Island
Star Island, Hibiscus Island, Palm Island
The private celebrity island chain in central Biscayne Bay is 20 to 30 minutes from Miami Beach Marina. Star Island, Hibiscus Island, and Palm Island hold the most recognizable private waterfront estates in Miami, and the calm bay surrounding them is consistently a highlight of any Miami Beach charter route. The combination of the island estates, the causeway bridges, and the Miami Beach hotel towers visible to the east provides a visual setting available from no other single location on the bay.
Government Cut
Government Cut and Fisher Island
Government Cut, the deep-water shipping channel between South Beach and Fisher Island, is 10 to 15 minutes from Miami Beach Marina. Cruise ships, container vessels, and superyachts pass through the cut in both directions, creating a dramatic scale effect from a private yacht in the same channel. Fisher Island, accessible only by water or private ferry, is visible along the southern wall of the cut. The Government Cut route is one of the most requested experiences on any Miami Beach charter originating from the southern marina.
Intracoastal
Intracoastal Waterway Cruise
The Intracoastal Waterway runs the full seven-mile length of Miami Beach between the island and the mainland, flanked by the backs of the Collins Avenue hotel towers, private residences, and the causeway bridges. A slow cruise up the Intracoastal from Miami Beach Marina to Haulover passes the full architectural history of Miami Beach hotel development, from the 1930s low-rises of South Beach through the 1950s mid-century towers and the contemporary luxury towers of North Beach. The route is a moving urban architecture tour that most Miami Beach visitors never see.

WHAT TO KNOW
Planning Your Miami Beach Yacht Charter
01
Getting to the Marina from Miami Beach
Miami Beach Marina at 300 Alton Road is 5 to 10 minutes by rideshare from most South Beach hotels and 10 to 15 minutes from mid-Miami Beach. Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park is 20 to 25 minutes from South Beach and 10 minutes from Aventura. Pelican Harbor Marina near the 79th Street Causeway is 15 to 20 minutes from most mid-Miami Beach addresses. For guests at Collins Avenue hotels north of 20th Street, Pelican Harbor or Sunset Harbour Yacht Club will save meaningful travel time compared to Miami Beach Marina.
02
Parking Near Miami Beach Marinas
Miami Beach Marina has a paid parking lot adjacent to the docks. Bill Bird Marina at Haulover Park has a large free parking lot in the adjacent Haulover Park. Pelican Harbor Marina has limited on-site parking. Sunset Harbour Yacht Club relies on street parking in the Sunset Harbour neighbourhood. For guests driving to a Miami Beach charter, Bill Bird Marina and Haulover Park offer the best free parking of any marina on the island, while Miami Beach Marina is closest to South Beach hotel drop-off.
03
Best Time of Day for a Miami Beach Charter
Morning charters departing between 9am and 11am are best for Haulover Sandbar because the anchorage is quieter, the water is calmest, and parking at Haulover Park is available without competition. Afternoon charters from 1pm to 4pm find the sandbar at its most social on weekends. Sunset charters from Miami Beach Marina are the most popular evening option, with the golden-hour light on Biscayne Bay and the Miami Beach hotel towers providing exceptional photography. The return south along the Intracoastal at dusk is particularly scenic.
04
Charter Duration from Miami Beach
Most Miami Beach charters run between 3 and 6 hours. A 3-hour charter from Miami Beach Marina covers Government Cut, a pass along the island chain, and a sandbar stop with time to spare. A 3-hour charter from Bill Bird Marina provides a longer Haulover Sandbar stay and a cruise along the north Miami Beach Intracoastal. A 4 to 6 hour charter extends any route to add snorkeling stops, longer sandbar time, or a full Intracoastal run between Haulover and Government Cut. Bachelorette and birthday groups typically book 4-hour minimums.
05
Group Size and Vessel Selection
Private yacht charters from Miami Beach accommodate groups from 2 to 13 guests on standard charters. Miami Beach is the most popular departure area for larger celebration groups, and vessels with open deck space for parties, DJs, and on-deck catering are the most frequently requested. Intimate gatherings of 2 to 12 guests suit luxury motor yachts in the 45 to 75 foot range. Groups of 13 guests use larger sport yachts and flybridge vessels. Contact us for larger group configurations.
