A full-day route
Morning: the inlet run
Out past Port Everglades and the cruise ships at 10.
The sandbar or the beach
Forty minutes south to Haulover for the raft-up, or the beach off Fort Lauderdale when the ocean is flat.
Lunch at a dock
A dock-and-dine restaurant on the Intracoastal, the boat tied up outside.
Afternoon: the Intracoastal home
The Isles, Lake Sylvia for a last swim, the dock by 6.
Day trips further out
The Miami skyline and back on a 40 ft and up yacht; Bimini, 50 nautical miles east, as an overnight on the yachts with range, on overnight yacht stays.
Food, drinks and fuel for a full day
Bring the cooler or add catering; the crew brings the ice and water. Fuel for eight hours is the largest line after the boat and is quoted with the route before you book.
Day rental vs hourly
Eight hours costs about two and a half three-hour charters and gives three times the water; when the plan is one swim and a sunset, the hourly page on hourly yacht rentals is the better buy.
