Opus 1 Miami: 120 ft Event Yacht

Aboard Opus 1

Opus 1 is built as a floating venue rather than a party boat. The two interior salons are fully climate-controlled, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the bay; the open-air sky deck takes a ceremony, a cocktail hour or a dance floor under the stars; and the full-service bar is run by experienced bartenders and service staff. Professional sound, lighting, AV and staging are set to the event, and the decks can be laid out for a seated dinner, a buffet, a band or DJ stage, a ceremony aisle or a brand installation. The route can take in Biscayne Bay, Star Island, Key Biscayne and the Miami skyline. She is the flagship of large group yacht charters in Miami.

Events on Opus 1

• Weddings: ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing on one vessel.
• Corporate: galas, award nights, launches and holiday parties.
• Private celebrations: milestone birthdays, quinceañeras and anniversaries.

Licensed, inspected and insured

Opus 1 operates as a commercial passenger vessel inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard, and her Certificate of Inspection sets the maximum number of passengers, the crew required and the safety standards for every departure. Each voyage is run by a Coast Guard licensed master with licensed officers and deck crew trained in passenger safety, docking and emergencies, under commercial marine insurance and an approved drug and alcohol testing program. Aboard are Coast Guard approved life jackets for every guest, children’s sizes included, life rafts or flotation for the route, fire detection and suppression, emergency lighting and marked exits, and marine radios on the bridge. The crew gives a safety briefing before departure, and the captain has the final word on route and speed. The standards across the fleet are on yacht safety protocols.

Guests, access and boarding

Opus 1 is typically cleared for up to 300 guests; the exact limit for your event depends on the layout, a plated dinner seating fewer than a cocktail reception, and is confirmed in the proposal and contract. At 120 ft and three decks she is wide and steady on the bay. The main deck has wide walkways, sturdy railings and few steps; the upper and lower decks are reached by stairs, and elevator access is limited, so tell the team about guests with mobility needs. Boarding opens 30 to 45 minutes before the cruise; guests arrive 20 to 30 minutes before boarding begins, and the yacht leaves on schedule.

Proposal, vendors and payment

Every Opus 1 charter is priced by custom proposal: the venue, the yacht and the standard charter fees are packaged together, and the crew gratuity is the only thing outside it. Bar service is handled by licensed, insured bartending teams and catering by preferred caterers who know the galley and the timing; an outside DJ, decorator or photographer is welcome with an insurance certificate and prior approval. As a commercial vessel she has rules on bringing your own alcohol, which the proposal sets out. For a group closer to 100, compare the other ships on 100 person yacht rentals.
