Planning a birthday on the water in Miami? Our fleet covers the full bay and river, with vessels sized for intimate groups and big parties alike. Here's exactly where you can book and what's included.
Where the birthday yachts depart
The Miami fleet of 166 vessels departs from 59 distinct points spread across five zones. Miami River leads with 67 boats, followed by Miami Beach and Downtown Miami / Biscayne Bay with 20 each, North Miami / Haulover with 5, and Coconut Grove with 1. Picking a zone close to your guests makes the start of a birthday charter easier. You don't choose an exact dock when browsing — the departure marina and dock depend on the specific vessel you book. After booking, the coordinator sends the exact marina name, dock number and address via WhatsApp, so the whole group knows precisely where to meet.
Sizing the yacht to your party
The fleet fits birthday groups of every size. The largest vessel holds up to 49 guests; 26 boats are set up for up to 12 guests, 135 boats for 13 to 30 guests, and 3 boats for groups over 30. For comfort on a bigger celebration, 92 of the 166 boats are longer than 50 feet. On facilities, 117 of the 166 boats list at least one bathroom and 116 list at least one cabin — always confirm a specific listing, since a boat that doesn't list one may not have it. The typical minimum charter is 4 hours, giving plenty of time to celebrate.
What's included and party extras
Of the 146 boats that publish an inclusions list, 137 include the captain, 132 include fuel, 114 include bottled water and ice, 105 include a floating water mat for swim stops, and 101 include a sound system for birthday playlists. Every charter comes with a USCG-certified captain, so no boating license or experience is needed. For bigger celebrations, extras like catering, a DJ, jet skis and flyboard are available on request and quoted upfront. Booking is direct via WhatsApp, with free cancellation up to 48 hours before the charter. A captain tip of 15–20% is customary and optional.
