Boat Rentals in Miami
Every boat rental in Miami comes with a captain: the boats under 45 ft below run from 20 ft pontoons and 26 ft day boats for a small group to 40 ft cruisers that carry the full 13 guests. Each price is the whole charter for the hours shown, boat, crew and fuel, paid crew and fuel online to book and the boat at the dock.
Three to start with: the Saxdor Fort Lauderdale (32 ft, up to 13 guests), the Glory Daze (26 ft, up to 12 guests) and the 31' Sea Ray (31 ft, up to 11 guests).

What a Miami boat rental is
A boat rental here is a private charter: the boat is yours for a block of hours, a captain runs it, and you bring your group and your cooler. The boats on this page are the smaller end of the fleet, under 45 ft, which is where the lowest prices are and where a group of six to thirteen fits without paying for deck it will not use. The yachts from 45 ft up, and the pink boats, superyachts and mega yachts, are on every yacht rental in Miami.
The price on each card is the whole charter for its shortest block: boat, crew and fuel. Open a boat for its other blocks, from two or three hours to a full day.
Boat rental in Miami with a captain
A licensed captain runs every charter; you ride as a guest and need no boating licence. On most listings the captain is in the price. A few of the smallest boats price the captain separately, and the card says so, so the number you compare is the number you pay. Every boat carries USCG-compliant safety equipment and life jackets for adults, children and non-swimmers, and the passenger limit on the card is the legal one.
Which boat for your group
- 20 to 26 ft pontoons and day boats carry six to eleven: a sandbar afternoon, a sunset for a few friends, the lowest total on the list.
- 30 to 38 ft cruisers carry twelve or thirteen, with a cabin and a head, for a birthday or a first charter.
- 40 to 44 ft yachts carry the full thirteen with room to move: the best per-person value for a party.
Thirteen is the limit on a private charter of this kind under U.S. Coast Guard passenger rules. A bigger group books an inspected event vessel or two boats together, both set out on large group yacht charters in Miami.
Party boat rental in Miami
A party boat is one of these with the music up: every boat has Bluetooth sound, and a bartender, decor, a water mat and water toys are add-ons you choose when you book. Bring your own food and drinks, cans or plastic for the open deck. How a birthday, a bachelorette or a proposal is planned, from the sandbar stop to the open bar, is on Miami yacht parties.
Boat rental in Miami Beach and where the boats go
Each boat leaves from its own dock, printed on its listing with a map: Miami Beach Marina and South Beach, the Miami River and Brickell, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne and Haulover. The small boats run the same water as the yachts: the Star and Palm Island estates, Monument Island, the Nixon Sandbar off Key Biscayne, and the South Beach to Brickell skyline at golden hour; from Haulover, the Haulover Sandbar. The lowest prices of all, by day and by boat, are gathered on cheap yacht rentals in Miami.
Boat rental questions
How much does it cost to rent a boat in Miami?
The smallest boats start at a few hundred dollars for three hours, the whole charter: boat, crew and fuel. The card on each boat shows its price for the shortest block, and the boat page shows every block. Weekdays cost less than weekends.
Does a boat rental come with a captain?
Yes. A licensed captain runs every charter and you need no licence. Most listings include the captain in the price; the few that price the captain separately say so on the card.
How many people fit on a rental boat?
Six on the pontoon, eleven on the 26 ft day boats, twelve or thirteen from 30 ft up. Thirteen is the legal limit on a private charter; larger groups take an inspected vessel or two boats.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes. Every boat is BYO; ice, water and a cooler are on board. Bring cans or plastic for the open deck and keep glass inside.
How many hours can I rent a boat for?
From two or three hours up to a full day of eight, depending on the boat. Some boats carry the free hour: book four hours and the fifth is free.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain rarely stops a charter. If the captain calls the conditions unsafe, the trip is rescheduled or credited under the weather policy.
Do I need a licence to rent a boat in Miami?
Not here: every boat comes with a licensed captain, so no boating licence or boater card is needed. Driving a rental boat yourself in Florida needs a boater education card if you were born on or after 1 January 1988, and that is a bareboat rental, which this site does not offer.
Can I rent a boat in Miami without a captain?
Not on this site. Every boat here is a captained charter: you and your guests ride, the captain drives, and the price on the card includes the captain, crew and fuel.
Is a charter boat rental the same as a boat rental?
On this site, yes. A charter boat rental means a boat with its captain, booked by the hour for your group alone; every boat listed here is one, private to your party of up to 13.
