A Day at Sea, Together
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.
The rare day everyone is together, and nobody is on their phone
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.
A sample family on the water
An example of how the day can flow. Every charter is planned around your group, so this is inspiration rather than a guaranteed itinerary.
Boarding
Safety briefing, snacks out, and everyone claims their spot.
First hour
Easy skyline cruise past Fisher Island and the Venetian Islands.
Midday
Anchor in calm, shallow water for swimming and water toys.
Afternoon
Lunch on deck, shade for the grandparents, photos for the group chat.
Return
Sunset cruise home with tired, happy kids.
Curated Experience Collections
Add a bundle of amenities to your reservation, or skip it and customize later. Collections don't include the yacht, they make planning effortless.

“Lina and Mario were great for a group trip we had. We cruised around for a bit and did jet skis. They hosted our group for a birthday trip for my brother. I would definitely charter a boat again.”

Frequently asked questions
Is a yacht charter safe for kids?+
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.
Where do families usually go?+
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.
How far in advance should I book?+
Weekends book quickly, especially in season. We recommend reserving 2–3 weeks ahead, but we'll always do our best for last-minute plans.
What's included in the charter?+
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.
How much is the deposit?+
Deposits are tiered by yacht size, $300, $500 or $1,000, and are applied to the balance of your charter.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?+
Absolutely. You're welcome to bring your own, or let us handle everything with a curated Collection.
What happens if the weather is bad?+
If the captain determines conditions are unsafe, our team will work with you to reschedule for another available date.
Want more than a day on the water?
The same fleet runs multi-day private charters from Miami to the Bahamas and the Florida Keys, captain, crew, marina slips and itinerary handled.
