Yacht Events in Fort Lauderdale — Every Celebration, One Private Boat
Fort Lauderdale yacht events run from a two-hour sunset toast for two to a 100-guest wedding reception: a private boat from a Broward dock, a captain, your own food, drinks and music, and the Intracoastal as the venue. Three hours start around $850; the pages below price each occasion.
Yacht Rentals in Fort Lauderdale — Private, Captained, Priced by Size
What every yacht event includes
The boat for your group alone, a licensed captain and crew, ice, water and a cooler, Bluetooth sound, the safety gear and the route: the Las Olas Isles, Lake Sylvia for a swim, the New River or the ocean side. The price bands by boat size are on Fort Lauderdale yacht rentals.
Add-ons: chef, catering, DJ, decor, photographer
Each is chosen when you book and priced on its own line: catering trays or a private chef, a bartender or an open bar, balloon and floral decor, a DJ with his deck, a photographer or a drone, and a black car to the dock.
Group size and the right boat
Thirteen guests is the limit on most yachts, which covers nearly every birthday and bachelorette. Twenty to thirty takes one of the party yachts; fifty to a hundred takes the inspected event yacht that comes north from Miami. The numbers are on group yacht excursions.
How far ahead to book
Two to six weeks for a weekend; eight for the Boat Show week, Winterfest and New Year’s Eve. Weekdays are often free at short notice, and the sunset slots are the first to go, so sunset cruises are worth booking first.
