Yacht rental Miami for large groups

As of 2026-07-06, the largest Miami yacht seats up to 49 guests, and 127 of the 155-vessel fleet are rated for 13-30 guests, with 3 more built for 30+.

Rates run from $70 to $7,200 per hour depending on the vessel, and your final quote depends on date and duration.

Planning a big group day on the water in Miami? Whether it's 15, 25 or close to 50 guests, the fleet has vessels sized for the crowd — every one with a licensed captain aboard.

How many guests can fit

As of 2026-07-06, the Miami fleet spans 155 vessels sized for almost any group. If you have 13 to 30 people, you have the widest choice: 127 boats fall in that capacity band. For smaller crowds up to 12 guests there are 23 boats, and for groups above 30 there are 3 vessels, topping out at a single yacht rated for up to 49 guests. So a party of 15, 20 or 25 has plenty of options, while a group approaching 50 fits on the largest boat. Guest count is the first thing to confirm when you message the operator, since it narrows the fleet immediately.

Sizes and departure zones

Bigger groups usually mean bigger boats, and the fleet delivers: 84 of the 155 vessels are longer than 50 feet, with the largest reaching 121 feet. As of 2026-07-06, most boats depart from the Miami River, which has 64 vessels, followed by Miami Beach with 19 and Downtown Miami / Biscayne Bay with 18. North Miami / Haulover has 5 and Coconut Grove has 1. The exact marina and dock depend on the specific yacht you book; after booking, the coordinator sends the exact marina name, dock number and address via WhatsApp so your whole group knows where to meet.

Pricing and booking for a group

Hourly teaser rates across the fleet run from $70 to $7,200 per hour, averaging $520/hr as of 2026-07-06 — larger yachts sit toward the higher end. With a typical 4-hour minimum, a boat at the $520 average works out to about $2,080 for the base charter (4 hours × $520), though your final quote depends on the exact vessel, date and duration. Every charter includes a USCG-certified captain, so no one in your group needs a license. Extras like catering, a DJ, jet skis or flyboard are available on request and quoted upfront. A 15-20% captain tip is customary and optional. Smaller crews often prefer a standard yacht rental in Miami or a relaxed sunset cruise in Miami instead.
