Rent a Private Motor Yacht in Miami — 4 Crewed Day Charters

Rent a Private Motor Yacht in Miami — 4 Crewed Day Charters

⚓ One yacht, one crew, one guest list — yours, on a privately crewed day across Biscayne Bay, a waterslide into warm shallows and a golden skyline on the way home.

↓ pick your yacht & your day — the water is yours, the crew is ready

This is not a boat tour. A privately crewed motor yacht charter in Miami hands your group the whole vessel, the captain, the crew and the day — teak underfoot, a chilled glass in hand, and a skyline that exists only for the people on board. Nothing is shared, nothing is scheduled, and nobody else is aboard. ⚓✨

🗺️ Your Biscayne Bay Day Afloat

Route planning map for a private charter day on Biscayne Bay, Miami

Board around 10:00 AM at a Miami Beach marina. Your captain reads the wind and the tide, then builds the day around what your group actually wants — a slow swim at a sandbar, a cruise past the mansions of Star Island, or the long run down to Key Biscayne. With the whole day ahead there is room for two or three unhurried stops and a proper lunch at anchor. 🌊

Show details

Morning — depart & first swim stop. A 10:00 AM boarding with a welcome drink, then a short run across Biscayne Bay to a calm anchorage. The crew sets the lines, the waterslide comes out, and the first swim of the day belongs to your group alone.
Midday — lunch at anchor & water fun. Lunch is served on deck while the yacht sits in the shallows near a sandbar. Floats, snorkelling gear and the sunpad keep everyone busy until the light starts to soften.
💡 Insider tip: ask your captain to reach the sandbar before noon — by early afternoon on a weekend the prime anchoring spots on Biscayne Bay are gone, and the good ones do not open up again.

These full-day charters suit couples, families and small groups who want a real day out on the water rather than a scheduled tour. Every yacht comes fully crewed, so navigation, anchoring and service are somebody else’s job — yours is the swimming, the lunch and the sunset. 🥂

Premium Pick

60 Azimut

60 Azimut Italian motor yacht available for charter in Miami

  • 🌅 Sunpad and swimming platform for easy water access
  • 🎢 Waterslide and floats for the whole group
  • 🍖 BBQ grill and air-conditioned salon on board
  • 👨‍✈️ Private crew included
This 60-foot Azimut carries up to 13 day guests in three cabins, with a professional crew of two looking after everything from the lines to the lunch. Three cabin grades, a waterslide and a BBQ grill make her the easy choice for a family day that still feels properly luxurious.

🌊 Did you know?

Seven wooden houses are standing on stilts in the middle of Biscayne Bay — built in the 1930s, raided in the 40s, and still out there. Cruise past Stiltsville on your own charter and watch your crew go quiet.

60 Azimut S

60 Azimut S sport motor yacht for private charter in Miami

  • ⚡ Fast 28-knot cruise that opens up the whole bay
  • 🛋️ Spacious decks and inviting interiors for up to 13 day guests
  • 🎢 Waterslide and easy access to the water
  • 👨‍✈️ Private crew included
Built in 2018 and drawn by Stefano Righini, the Azimut S sleeps six in three cabins and welcomes up to 13 guests for the day. She is the faster sister — when the group wants to see more of the bay before lunch, this is the hull that gets you there.

🌴 Feeling the Vibe?

Ninety-five percent of Biscayne National Park is water — you cannot see most of it from land. Shipwrecks, coral and an 1825 lighthouse sit out there while the city looks the other way. Your charter is the only door in.

Wide-Beam Comfort

60 Leopard

60 Leopard wide-beam motor yacht for charter in Miami

  • 🛥️ 27.89-foot beam — apartment-grade space on the water
  • 🐠 Snorkelling equipment and a sunpad for lazy afternoons
  • 📶 WiFi and air conditioning throughout
  • 👨‍✈️ Private crew included
A 2021 build with two cabins for four overnight guests and room for 13 on a day charter, the 60 Leopard trades raw speed for genuine room to move. Her shallow draft sneaks into sandbars that deeper yachts have to admire from a distance — which is exactly where the good afternoons happen.

🤫 A Secret for You…

Azimut started in 1969 with one man chartering sailboats out of Turin — a city with no sea. Today it is the biggest luxury yacht group on the planet. Three of the four boats in this article carry that badge.

⭐ Top Pick — Likely to Sell Out

62 Azimut

Rent a Private Motor Yacht in Miami — 4 Crewed Day Charters

  • 🏊 Swimming platform that puts you straight into the water
  • ☀️ Sunpad and open decks for the whole group
  • 🎢 Waterslide plus floats for the kids and the kids at heart
  • 👨‍✈️ Private crew included
At 62 feet with three cabins for six overnight guests, this Azimut is the roomiest pick here and still takes 13 for the day. The swimming platform is the quiet luxury nobody talks about — you step off the transom and you are already in the bay.

🛥️ The Best Part?

The 60 Leopard spreads nearly 28 feet across. That is not a spec — that is thirteen guests at one table, lunch served, nobody spilling a drink. Your party, one deck.

Learn More About Yacht Rental in Miami

What is included in a full-day private motor yacht charter in Miami?

Most charters include the yacht, a professional captain and crew of two, fuel for the standard route, life jackets, passenger insurance, soft drinks and water. Waterslides, floats, snorkelling gear, sunpads and air conditioning come with the boats listed here; catering, extra water toys and transport can be arranged on top. Check each yacht’s live page for exact inclusions.

Do we need sailing experience to rent a crewed yacht in Miami?

No — every yacht here is fully crewed. The captain and crew handle navigation, anchoring, docking and safety for the whole day, so your group only has to decide where to swim next.

How many guests can a 60–62ft motor yacht take on a Miami day charter?

The motor yachts in this article are licensed for up to 13 day guests, with two to three cabins sleeping between four and six overnight guests. Crew quarters are separate, so the whole guest area stays yours.

Which sandbars and islands can we reach on a full-day charter from Miami?

From a Miami Beach marina an eight-hour day comfortably covers a Biscayne Bay sandbar, the mansions of Star Island, Stiltsville and the Cape Florida lighthouse on Key Biscayne, with a run down the bay for a sunset return. Your captain builds the route around the wind and the tide.

How far ahead should we book a private yacht in Miami in high season?

For weekends, holiday weeks and event periods, three to four weeks ahead is sensible; the most requested 60–62ft motor yachts are often gone earlier. Midweek dates open up much closer in.

Is the yacht private for just our group?

Yes — when you charter through YATR the entire yacht is yours, with no other passengers aboard. The captain and crew work only for your group for the whole charter.
