What is the average price to rent a yacht?
As of 2026-10-19, the average teaser rate across the 171-boat Miami fleet is $630 per hour, with rates running from $85/hr to $8,150/hr. Because the typical minimum charter is 4 hours, an average booking at that rate works out to roughly $2,520 for the time on the water. These are per-boat teaser prices; your final quote depends on the exact date and duration.
Pricing a Miami charter starts with the hourly rate. Here is the live fleet average, the full range, and what a typical booking works out to once the standard minimum is applied.
The average hourly rate and full range
As of 2026-10-19, the 171 vessels in the live Miami fleet carry teaser rates from $85 per hour to $8,150 per hour, with an average of $630 per hour. That spread reflects a fleet ranging from compact boats to a 135-foot flagship, so the average sits well below the top end. These figures are per-boat teaser prices, meaning they anchor your quote rather than finalize it. The final number depends on the specific date and how many hours you book, which is why the same vessel can quote differently across the calendar. Use the $630/hr average as a planning midpoint, not a fixed price.
What a typical 4-hour booking costs
The typical minimum charter is 4 hours. Applied to the fleet-wide average of $630 per hour, that works out to roughly $2,520 for the on-water time of an average booking as of 2026-10-19. At the low end of the range, a $85/hr teaser over the same 4-hour minimum is $340; at the high end, an $8,150/hr vessel is $32,600 for four hours. These are straight products of the hourly rate and the standard minimum, not final quotes. Your actual total varies by date, duration and the exact boat, and extras like catering or a DJ are quoted upfront separately.
What is typically included in the rate
Of the 150 boats that publish an inclusions list, 141 include the captain, 136 include fuel, and 116 include bottled water and ice. Beyond that, 107 list a floating water mat for swim stops and 101 list a sound system, so much of what shapes the day is already in the teaser rate on many listings. Every charter includes a USCG-certified captain, so no license or experience is needed. A captain tip of 15–20% is customary and optional. Extras such as jet skis, catering, DJ and flyboard are available on request and quoted upfront, so they sit outside the hourly rate.
