What is included in Miami boat rental pricing and total costs?
As of July 2026, Miami boat rental teaser rates run from $70 to $7,200 per hour (averaging $522), and every charter includes a USCG-certified captain, so no license or experience is needed. Pricing is per boat, based on a typical 4-hour minimum. Your final quote depends on date and duration. Extras like jet skis, catering, DJ, or flyboard are quoted upfront on request. A 15–20% captain tip is customary but optional.
Before you book a Miami charter, it helps to know exactly what the hourly rate covers and what gets added on. Here's a clear breakdown of our pricing across 154 vessels.
What the hourly rate includes
The teaser rate you see — between $70 and $7,200 per hour across our 154-vessel fleet, averaging $522 — is a per-boat price, not per person. Most importantly, it always includes a USCG-certified captain, meaning you don't need a boating license or any experience to charter. The captain handles navigation and safety while you enjoy the ride. Rates are teaser prices: your final quote is confirmed based on the specific date and duration you choose. With a typical 4-hour minimum, a boat listed at $522/hr would start around $2,088 for the base charter before any optional extras or tip.
How the total is calculated
Your total starts with the hourly rate multiplied by your booked hours, using the typical 4-hour minimum as the baseline. Because rates are teaser prices, the exact figure is confirmed once you share your date and duration via WhatsApp. From there, any extras you request — jet skis, catering, DJ, or flyboard — are quoted upfront and added transparently, so there are no surprises. Capacity also shapes your choice: 22 boats hold up to 12 guests, 127 handle 13–30, and 3 carry 30+, up to 49 on the largest vessel. Free cancellation applies up to 48 hours before departure.
Optional costs to budget for
Two categories sit outside the base rate. First, add-ons: jet skis, catering, a DJ, or flyboard are all available on request and quoted upfront before you commit, so you always see the number in advance. Second, the captain tip — 15 to 20% is customary in Miami but entirely optional and left to your discretion. Everything is booked directly with our operator via WhatsApp, so you can confirm the all-in total before paying. With a 5.0-star rating across 496+ reviews as of July 2026, our pricing is transparent from teaser rate to final quote. Those inclusions carry over whether you pick a boat rental in Miami or a yacht charter in Miami.
