THREE MARINA CORRIDORS FROM ONE ADDRESS

South Miami Yacht Charters, Private and Fully Crewed

A south miami yacht rental through Crown Yachts Miami means exclusive use of a fully crewed private vessel departing from one of four marina corridors available to South Miami guests. No shared passengers, no group tour format. Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove covers north bay routes toward Star Island and the downtown skyline. Rickenbacker Marina and Crandon Park Marina open the Key Biscayne corridor and Nixon Sandbar. Black Point Park and Marina to the south is the closest gateway to Biscayne National Park.

South Miami guests have access to destinations that no other departure zone in the Miami metro covers at this range. Nixon Sandbar in southern Biscayne Bay, the only sandbar anchorage in the lower bay, is under 20 minutes from Crandon Park Marina. Biscayne National Park's 173,000 acres of protected water and the northernmost living coral reef in the United States are accessible from Black Point in under 40 minutes total. The south bay view of the full Brickell and downtown Miami skyline from open water is under 20 minutes from Dinner Key.

Every south miami boat rental and yacht charter through Crown Yachts Miami is fully customizable. Add a private chef, professional DJ, open bar, custom decoration, or catering service. Departures from all South Miami-accessible marinas in Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, and the southern bay corridor.

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!
