Make sunset the focus, not a packed itinerary
For collectors and VIP guests, build the cruise around a simple progression: time to settle in, conversation over cocktails, then a shared moment watching the skyline as daylight fades. Treat this as a pause between Art Basel commitments rather than another tightly programmed reception.
Choose your date first, then ask Prime Experiences to recommend a departure that fits sunset and your guests' schedules. Leave breathing room between the last shoreside commitment and boarding, and avoid promising an exact return connection until the charter timing is confirmed.
Request Star Island and Downtown Miami views
Use Star Island and the Downtown Miami skyline as the visual brief for your cruise. Ask for a route that gives guests time to appreciate both, rather than making a long list of stops the priority. The captain must confirm the route and any anchoring suitability.
The 82′ Azimut is one option to review for this plan, with a maximum of 13 guests and a listed four-hour charter price of $5,450 before added gratuity and tax. Check its yacht page for details, and ask which viewing areas would suit your group's sunset gathering.
Plan cocktails around conversation
Keep the proposed drinks brief focused: a signature cocktail, a nonalcoholic alternative and water are a useful starting point. Confirm what can be supplied, what is included and how service would work before describing the experience to guests. Do not assume a bartender, alcohol or glassware comes with the charter.
The 88′ Princess F + Water Toys + Jacuzzi accommodates up to 13 guests and has a listed four-hour price of $5,450 before added gratuity and tax. For a sunset-focused outing, let the views and conversation lead; review the yacht page and discuss your preferred cocktail setup with Prime Experiences.
Choose by guest count and gathering preferences
A longer yacht does not automatically allow a larger guest list. The 105′ Azimut Babieca + Jacuzzi has a maximum of 13 guests, the same limit as the other yachts featured here. Its listed four-hour charter price is $5,950 before added gratuity and tax.
Before choosing, review the yacht page and ask about the spaces you would use for drinks, conversation and photographs. Describe how your guests prefer to gather, whether as one group or in smaller conversations, rather than selecting by length alone.
Give guests a simple sunset plan
Structure the experience loosely: welcome guests and settle in, enjoy the captain-approved sightseeing route, then leave an unhurried window for sunset photographs and conversation. Keep any collector introductions or short remarks separate from the moment everyone wants to enjoy the view.
Send a concise guest note once arrangements are confirmed. Include the boarding location, arrival time, planned return and confirmed beverage details. Prime Experiences' office address is 990 Biscayne Blvd; do not treat the office address as the boarding location without confirmation.
Confirm the quote and reserve your date
In Miami, 18% gratuity on the charter and 7% tax are added. Deposits from $300 reserve a date, and the balance is due seven days before the charter. Request a quote for your chosen yacht and date, including any separately arranged cocktail service or other extras.
Prime Experiences has offered Miami private yacht charters since 2011. Call 305-892-3573 with your date, guest count and preferred sunset window, and request Star Island and Downtown Miami skyline views subject to captain approval. Check the yacht page for current details before committing.
