Booking with All In 1 Rentals is handled directly by the operator over WhatsApp. Here's how the process runs, what's confirmed after you book, and the core rules that apply to every Miami charter.
How the booking process works
Booking is direct with the operator over WhatsApp — you message, share your date, group size and preferred departure zone, and get a quote back. Hourly teaser rates on the Miami fleet run from $85/hr to $8150/hr (average $629/hr), and the final quote depends on your date and duration. The typical minimum charter is 4 hours. Miami has 166 live vessels departing from 59 distinct departure points across zones like Miami River (67 boats) and Miami Beach (20 boats). Once your charter is confirmed, the coordinator sends the exact marina name, dock number and address via WhatsApp, so you know precisely where to meet the boat.
The core rules and what's included
Every charter includes a USCG-certified captain, so no boating license or experience is required. Free cancellation applies up to 48 hours before your charter. A captain tip of 15-20% is customary and optional. Inclusions vary by vessel: 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. Because inclusions are listed per boat, check the specific vessel's listing — a boat that doesn't list an item may simply not offer it.
Extras and capacity to confirm upfront
Extras are available on request and quoted upfront: jet skis, catering, DJ and flyboard. Twelve boats specifically publish a jet ski add-on. Capacity matters when you book — the Miami fleet reaches up to 49 guests on its largest vessel, with 26 boats rated for up to 12 guests, 135 boats for 13-30 guests, and 3 boats for 30+ guests. Onboard facilities are listed per vessel: 117 of the 166 boats list at least one bathroom (head) and 116 list at least one cabin. Confirm your group size and any add-ons over WhatsApp so the operator can match you to the right boat and give an accurate quote.
