Overnight Yacht Stays in Fort Lauderdale

Can you sleep on a rented yacht in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. The yacht is chartered with its captain and crew for the night as well as the cruise; the crew sleeps in its own quarters forward, the guests in the cabins aft, and the boat stays where the captain puts it.

Dockside stay vs at anchor

Dockside is the floating hotel: shore power, air conditioning all night, the town a walk away, the boat still. At anchor is the night on the water: the sunset cruise, the hook down in Lake Sylvia off the Isles, the generator for the air, the quiet. Both start with the sunset cruise.

Yachts with cabins

The 40 to 54 ft yachts sleep two to four, the 55 to 79 ft four to six, the 80 ft and up six to eight; each listing shows cabins and heads. The ones docked in Broward are below and the Miami ones that come north are on luxury yacht rentals.

Overnight prices

From about $1,500 for the night on a 40 to 54 ft yacht plus the cruise at the hourly bands, $2,500 at 55 to 79 ft, and by quote above that, with the crew’s overnight rate and fuel added at checkout. The longer versions are on weekend yacht rentals and the rest of the lengths on Fort Lauderdale yacht charters.

Honeymoons, proposals and birthdays overnight

The couple takes the sunset, the question and the cabin; the birthday takes the party cruise and wakes up at anchor. Flowers, champagne and breakfast are set by the crew.
