From grandparents to grandkids, a private yacht is the rare place everyone unplugs and simply enjoys each other. Calm water, a swim platform and space to breathe.
Grandparents in the shade, kids counting jellyfish over the rail, someone claiming the best seat on the bow. A private yacht is the one place where every generation finds their own version of a perfect day.
The captain handles the water, the crew handles the rest, and you get to be a guest at your own family day. By the time you're back at the dock, the little ones are asleep and the adults are already picking next year's date.
An example of how the day can flow. Every charter is planned around your group, so this is inspiration rather than a guaranteed itinerary.

Proud 4ocean Partner
A portion of every charter funds 4ocean's mission, pulling plastic and debris from our seas so the waters you sail stay pristine. Guests can add an optional donation onboard and remove even more.

Yes. A licensed captain and crew run the yacht, life jackets are on board in child sizes, and the crew keeps an eye on the swim platform whenever guests are in the water.
Most family charters cruise Biscayne Bay and anchor at a calm sandbar for swimming, then loop past the Miami skyline and Star Island on the way back.
Weekends book quickly, especially in season. We recommend reserving 2–3 weeks ahead, but we'll always do our best for last-minute plans.
Every charter includes a licensed captain and crew, fuel for standard cruising, and use of the yacht's amenities. Add an Experience Collection for catering, décor and more.
Deposits are tiered by yacht size, $300, $500 or $1,000, and are applied to the balance of your charter.
Absolutely. You're welcome to bring your own, or let us handle everything with a curated Collection.
If the captain determines conditions are unsafe, our team will work with you to reschedule for another available date.
The same fleet runs multi-day private charters from Miami to the Bahamas and the Florida Keys, captain, crew, marina slips and itinerary handled.
If you'd rather choose an experience where the yacht, captain, crew, food, beverages and planning are already thoughtfully arranged, explore our curated Prime Experiences. Prefer to pick your own boat? Stay here and browse our Miami private yacht rentals.

“We booked a half day for my bachelorette and it turned into the best part of the whole weekend. The yacht was immaculate, the music and cooler were ready when we stepped on, and we cruised past the Miami skyline before anchoring at the sandbar where everyone swam for over an hour. Planning was just as easy as the day itself, every question answered within minutes.”

“I planned this as an anniversary surprise and Prime handled every detail. Champagne and flowers were already onboard, we watched the sunset from the bow with the skyline behind us, and then took photos on the water that we still have framed. The route they suggested was perfect, calm water the entire time and never crowded. Easily the highlight of our trip to Miami.”

“From the first call to the moment we stepped back on the dock everything was seamless. We had eight friends onboard for a birthday, spent the afternoon swimming at the sandbar, had lunch on the flybridge, and finished with a slow cruise past Star Island. Booking online took minutes and the price we were quoted was exactly what we paid, no surprises at the end.”

“Nos encantó la experiencia completa. El yate estaba impecable, pasamos el día navegando por la bahía, nos detuvimos a nadar y los niños disfrutaron muchísimo. La organización fue perfecta desde la reserva hasta el regreso al muelle, todo salió tal como nos lo explicaron. Sin duda volveremos a repetir el paseo en nuestra próxima visita a Miami.”

“Chartered for a small corporate group and it exceeded expectations. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned around sunset, the catering arrived on time, and the boat gave us plenty of space to talk business and still enjoy the water. Everyone asked how we found it. We are already planning the next one for our client dinner in the spring.”

“Our family of six spent four hours on the water and it was the most relaxing day of the vacation. We cruised the bay, anchored where the kids could swim safely, and had the whole boat to ourselves with plenty of shade and space. Communication before the trip was clear and detailed, so we knew exactly what to bring and where to meet.”
