Overnight Yacht Rentals Miami

How an overnight stay works

Check in around 4 to 6 pm and cruise for the sunset and the skyline; anchor in a protected corner of Biscayne Bay or stay at a marina slip; sleep in air-conditioned cabins with their own bathrooms; then a morning swim or a slow cruise and check-out around 9 to 11 am. Longer 24-hour packages exist on some yachts. Near docks and homes there are quiet hours late at night, and on many yachts the crew sleeps aboard in their own quarters. The other charter lengths are on Miami yacht charters.

At anchor or dockside

• At anchor: a calm cove away from the city, darker skies and the water all around.
• Dockside: a marina slip near South Beach or Downtown, like a floating condo with restaurants a walk away.
• City then quiet: the night skyline first, then a calmer anchorage by bedtime.

Who it suits, and how many

Couples on a romantic night or a mini-moon; families giving the children their first night on a boat; friends sharing cabins instead of hotel rooms; a night before or after a cruise from PortMiami; an anniversary or proposal that ends with sunrise coffee on deck, planned with anniversary yacht charters. Sleeping capacity is smaller than daytime capacity: a 55 to 70 ft yacht sleeps about two to six in cabins, and the 13-guest limit applies while under way.

Packing, price and booking

Bring soft bags rather than hard suitcases, light layers for the night breeze, swimwear, toiletries and medicines; most yachts supply linens and towels. Food and drinks are BYO, or catering and a private chef on a yacht can be added. Overnight stays are quoted per night or as a package with the cruising hours; mid-size yachts commonly start around $2,500 to $3,500 a night, and some ask for two nights at weekends. Book four to eight weeks ahead for a weekend or holiday; overnight-capable yachts are fewer than day boats.
