Whether you're planning an intimate cruise or a big celebration, Miami's charter fleet spans a wide range of guest capacities. Here's exactly how many people fit across the live fleet, so you can match a boat to your group.
Capacity across the live Miami fleet
As of 2026-07-04, the Miami fleet has 154 vessels covering a broad range of group sizes. The largest boat holds up to 49 guests. If you're a smaller group, 22 boats accommodate up to 12 guests each. For mid-size parties, 127 boats hold between 13 and 30 guests, which is the bulk of the fleet. Just 3 boats handle groups over 30. This spread means whether you're planning a family outing, a birthday, or a large celebration, there's a matching vessel. Share your guest count over WhatsApp and the operator can point you to boats sized for your group.
Matching a boat to your group size
The best fit depends on your headcount and the vibe you want. For up to 12 guests, 22 boats give you a compact, easy-to-fill option. For 13 to 30 guests, 127 boats make up the widest selection, ideal for parties and group events. Above 30 guests, only 3 boats reach the 49-guest maximum, so larger groups have fewer choices. Every charter runs with a USCG-certified captain, and no boating license or experience is needed. Extras like catering, a DJ, jet skis or flyboard can be added on request and are quoted upfront.
How to confirm capacity and book
Booking is direct via WhatsApp with the operator. Tell them your exact guest count and date, and they'll confirm which of the 154 boats fit, along with a final quote — hourly teaser rates run from $70/hr to $7200/hr, and the typical minimum charter is 4 hours. Free cancellation applies up to 48 hours before your charter. After booking, the coordinator sends the exact marina name, dock number and address via WhatsApp. A captain tip of 15-20% is customary and optional. The fleet holds a 5.0-star rating across 496+ reviews. The same capacity tiers apply to a boat rental for large groups in Miami and to a standard yacht rental in Miami.
