Yacht Photo & Film Shoots in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale yachts charter for photo shoots, music videos, brand content and film by the hour: from about $850 for three hours on a boat under 40 feet and $1,125 at 55 to 79 feet, with a crew used to productions, the Las Olas Isles and the downtown skyline as backdrops and golden hour timed to the minute.
Yacht Events in Fort Lauderdale — Every Celebration, One Private Boat
Backdrops: Las Olas Isles, downtown skyline, open ocean
The mansions and the megayachts along the Isles, the skyline from Lake Sylvia with nothing in front of it, the beach and the open Atlantic ten minutes out the inlet, and the New River’s bridges for the moving shot.
Golden hour timing
The captain positions the boat for the light: west over the Isles at sunset, east off the beach at sunrise. Departure is set to the sun, as on sunset cruises.
Crew, power, permits and drones
Shore power at the dock and inverters under way for lights and chargers; a crew that holds position and keeps out of frame; drones flown under the FAA’s Part 107 by your pilot or ours, away from Port Everglades’ restricted airspace. A commercial shoot on the water needs no city permit; a shoot that lands on a public dock may.
Rates for productions
Hourly at the size bands on Fort Lauderdale yacht rentals, about $850 for three hours under 40 ft and $1,125 at 55 to 79 ft; a half-day of four hours; a full-day buyout of eight, with a second boat as a camera platform quoted alongside. Talent and crew count as guests, thirteen to a boat. A branded party is on themed yacht parties, and the rest on Fort Lauderdale yacht events.

Shoot charter questions
Can we bring a crew of ten?
Yes. Talent and crew together count as guests, thirteen to a boat; a second boat carries the overflow and the long lens.
Can we fly a drone?
Yes, under Part 107, clear of the port’s restricted airspace; the captain knows the lines.
Is there power on board?
Shore power at the dock and inverter power under way; tell the desk the load.
Do you need a filming permit?
Not on the water; a public dock or beach landing may need the city’s.
