Can I host an Art Basel Miami gallery dinner on a private yacht?

Plan it as a private gathering, with dining details confirmed before booking. Ask about seated dining capacity, catering, service and dietary requirements rather than assuming the yacht's maximum guest count equals its dinner seating capacity.

How many guests can attend the yacht party?

Each yacht featured in this guide accommodates up to 13 guests. Keep the invitation list within the selected yacht's stated limit; additional yacht length does not automatically allow additional guests.

Are catering, music and decorations included?

Do not assume they are included. Check the yacht page and ask Prime Experiences to confirm available arrangements, any related charges and what can be accommodated for your event.

Can we choose our Biscayne Bay route and anchoring spot?

You can share your preferences, but the captain must confirm route and anchoring suitability for the selected yacht. Confirm boarding and return locations separately, and keep proposed stops provisional until approved.

How do I reserve an Art Basel Miami yacht charter?

Call Prime Experiences at 305-892-3573 to confirm the yacht, date and event requirements. Deposits from $300 reserve a date, with the balance due 7 days before the charter. Miami charters add 18% gratuity on the charter and 7% tax.

Art Basel Miami Yacht Charter: A Private Hosting Guide

Start with the gathering, not the yacht length

Build your Art Basel Miami week charter around one clear purpose: a gallery-hosted dinner, a collector gathering or a private party between art events. A focused guest list and a defined start and finish make the invitation easier to plan around other commitments.

Decide whether the priority is conversation, dining or celebration before choosing a yacht. Treat onboard food service, entertainment and event setup as details to confirm with Prime Experiences, not assumed charter inclusions.

Keep VIP hosting personal

For a small VIP gathering, consider the 76′ SanLorenzo + Water Toys, listed for up to 13 guests. Use that limit to shape a deliberately intimate invitation list rather than treating the charter as an open-house reception.

Plan a simple hosting sequence: welcome your guests, leave time for conversation and agree on the return time in advance. Check the yacht page and ask about seating and service arrangements before promising a particular reception layout.

Plan a gallery dinner around confirmed dining arrangements

A gallery dinner should begin with the meal format, not just the headcount. The 88′ Princess F + Water Toys + Jacuzzi accommodates up to 13 guests, but its guest capacity should not be treated as confirmation of seated dining capacity.

Before sending a dinner invitation, confirm the dining layout, catering options, dietary requirements and service timing. If the charter follows a gallery visit or dinner ashore, leave a practical buffer between that commitment and the agreed boarding time.

Make the party private, with a firm guest list

The 105′ Dominator + Water Toys + Jacuzzi is another option for up to 13 guests. Its greater length does not mean a larger permitted party, so finalize attendance before organizing the celebration.

Ask about music arrangements, decorations, food and drink service, and jacuzzi use before building them into the event. A clear brief helps distinguish a conversation-led gathering from a more energetic party without assuming either setup is automatically available.

Build the Biscayne Bay route around your schedule

For an Art Basel week gathering on Biscayne Bay, give Prime Experiences your preferred boarding time, event duration and any firm plans afterward. Confirm the boarding and return locations before sharing travel instructions with guests; do not assume a yacht can collect guests beside an art venue.

The captain must confirm route and anchoring suitability for the selected yacht. Keep specific stops provisional until approved, and choose whether the gathering needs a cruising itinerary or an approved anchoring plan rather than promising either in advance.

Confirm the event details and reserve your date

Request a quote for the selected yacht, date, duration and hosting requirements. In Miami, 18% gratuity on the charter and 7% tax are added. Deposits from $300 reserve a date, and the balance is due 7 days before the charter; check the yacht page for listed pricing and confirm your event quote before booking.

Prime Experiences has provided Miami private yacht charters since 2011. Call 305-892-3573 or contact the office at 990 Biscayne Blvd to discuss your Art Basel week plans. Confirm the boarding location separately from the office address.
