Florida Yacht Charter Guide

Florida yacht charters have a spectacular array of unique destinations for both sailing yachts and motor yachts, mega yachts and crewed boats; from Miami, Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale to the scattered islands of the Florida Keys and the Bahamas where fishing and snorkelling spots are myriad.

Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, there are also 30,000 lakes within the state and both locals and businesses have a strong attachment to hobbies involving the water: Jet skis, water skis and kite surfers are familiar sights along the beaches while Scuba diving schools use the gentle Gulf Stream currents to teach beginners drift diving. Florida yacht charterer itineraries can follow the inter-coastal highway and select from numerous seaside towns, great secluded anchorages, excellent marina facilities and pristine beaches that stretch for miles.

To the northeast Jacksonville and Daytona Beach are both popular areas for fishing and whale watching, with the latter also home to the Daytona 500 NASCAR race with free concerts throughout the summer.

Miami is a desirable cosmopolitan destination where guests can spend hours in luxury boutiques, galleries and museums, savouring first-class fine dining or unwinding on the soft sandy beaches that stretch up the coast past Hollywood. Find your own secluded fishing and sunbathing spot among the Florida Keys, which boast a wide variety of fish in crystal clear water.

Dolphins are often observed within the warm waters around St. Petersburg, which offers quiet cruising in protected areas and at night the city has a thriving nightlife with restaurants, bars and live music. Sunsets over the ocean in Florida are often a powerful event that attracts many people to the shoreline.

The Florida Yachting Season:

Florida is ideal for yacht charters year round, however from late July to early October the east coast of America and the Bahamas can be prone to hurricanes and therefore late spring/early summer or the winter holidays prove popular times to visit. As one of the largest yacht charter grounds, there is a massive assortment of yacht charters available in Florida, including motor yachts, sailing yachts, crewed yachts, luxury catamarans and of course superyacht charters. Find a luxury charter to suit you and your group and contact CharterWorld.

The Cost to Charter a Yacht in Florida:

The price of a yacht charter in Florida varies from $24,500 USD per week plus expenses to more than $1,000,000 USD per week for a mega yacht, depending upon the size of yacht chosen and it’s on board facilities. Expenses such as fuel, food and drinks are paid in advance as an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) which usually comes to 30% of the charter price depending on how much is spent. All-inclusive yacht charters are also available and cost between $ 20,000 USD and $ 50,000 USD per week. You can browse the latest Florida yacht charter special offers here , see a price list for American yachts here , or contact the expert brokers at CharterWorld directly for more information.

Florida yacht charters are not only in a beautiful and diverse yacht charter location but are also the door to a wonderland of cruising pleasure - the Florida Keys and the Bahamas .

The state of Florida is synonymous with water - it has two coastal borders in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico and is home to some 30,000 lakes. Florida yacht charterers can follow the intercoastal highway; with it's myriad of secluded cove beaches, seaside towns, great anchorages and excellent marina facilities, for miles and miles.

10 of the Best Florida Yacht Charter Destinations

When the Caribbean and Bahamas are so close Florida can be overlooked as a luxury yacht charter destination, yet the region is home to many exemplary fishing grounds while turtles, dolphins and manatees swim close to the pristine beaches.

Fort Lauderdale and Miami have both established themselves among the yachting community and those in the know don't need to stray far from the mainland for a tropical paradise or high-end shopping opportunities. Read on to discover 10 fantastic locations to visit within the Florida charter grounds that are easy to incorporate into a charter itinerary designed for everyone in your group.

1. Fort Lauderdale

Incredible beaches, impressive art galleries and the top-rated marina and yachting club draw luxury yacht charter groups year after year to Fort Lauderdale. Located directly west of the Bahamas, the airport also provides quick and efficient connections to international flights. Visitors can easily fill a day indulging in high-end shopping, savouring the high quality cuisine or sitting out in the sunshine and fishing in the bay.

If you visit in late October/early November, head to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show to see the industry's latest innovations and stunning superyachts.

The silky coast along South Beach is the place to be for sunbathing and people-watching, playing horse polo, jetting along on your motorised water toys or partying the night away.

The coastal clubs and bars cater to all tastes, from upbeat and noisy to laid back and sophisticated, with romantic art deco architecture along the streets. Holidaymakers should stop by at the famous Nikki Beach Club to experience for themselves the food, drinks and atmosphere that gives this place such a stellar reputation.

3. Key West

Among the Florida Keys, Key West has an abundance of islands to explore and the shallow water around the beaches and archipelagos is perfect for younger children to practise their snorkelling and kayaking. A visit on land is a must to see the Earnest Hemingway Home and Museum, the Audubon House & Tropical Gardens and the winter home of President Harry S. Truman, set within the picturesque and verdant town.

4. Key Largo

Key Largo is excellent for Scuba divers for all ability levels with gentle drift diving in the Gulf Stream for beginners, and wreck dives and sites such as Christ of the Abyss for the more experienced. Snorkelers also have the opportunity to see and swim with sea turtles, manatees and whales at such locations as the Key Largo Undersee Park.

5. Ten Thousand Islands

Only Marco Island is inhabited amongst the Ten Thousand Islands at the south-western tip of Florida, leaving an abundance of untouched verdant isles to discover by paddleboard or kayak. Snorkel with dolphins and manatee within this national wildlife refuge, then use the fine grain beaches to rest and recuperate before a romantic sunset meal at your secluded retreat.

6. Clearwater

The powder-soft white sand beach of Clearwater might be where you want to spend your whole holiday, but the area has a myriad more sights and activities to explore: Swim with dolphins, windsurf or learn how to jet ski in the crystal clear waters, then join the parties in the local bars or host your own aboard your superyacht.

Fishing is particularly good in the Gulf Stream off the coast, and charter guests can take an afternoon to laze in the sunshine while catching lunch.

7. Sarasota

The gentle waves and shallow water at Lido Key Beach make this stretch of coast a hit with young families, while those looking for more privacy for a romantic candlelit meal have Passage Key and Egmont Key State Park. Snorkel, Scuba dive and kayak through mangroves and watch schools of fish swimming beneath your group.

As a town with a burgeoning artists' community, a visit to Sarasota will be filled with crafts and opportunities to find statement pieces for your home and that memorable souvenir of your trip.

8. Sanibel Island

Nature lovers will feel reinvigorated on Sanibel Island, where the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge covers half of the land and children will be enthralled by the 250 different kinds of shells washed ashore at Sanibel Beach.

Shop at the scenic Periwinkle Place before returning to the coast to watch a captivating sunset, then party the night away on you sundeck and enjoy a cocktail under the stars.

9. Captiva Island

North of Sanibel Island, the western beaches continue and visitors can stroll along the sands for miles, snorkel with fish and other friendly sea creatures or zip through the water with the Seabobs and jet skis from the water toys collection on board. 

There is little to do but relax and play games with family and friends - a perfect escape for quality time together after visiting towns bursting with land-based attractions.

As the name suggests, this town takes its architectural inspiration from Italy and caters to the luxury lifestyle with high-end shops, golf courses and miles of white sand beach where the group can play games or take a stroll along the pier.

Fishing and dolphin-spotting are common pastimes, and attractions such as The Revs Institute for classic cars ensure that guests have something to do off their luxury yacht even on rainy days or during periods of intense heat.

From Jacksonville down to Miami , the waters off the Eastern coast of Florida are populated year-round with boats of all shapes and sizes. You will see everything from small sailing catamarans to luxury superyachts.

Northern Florida | Jacksonville

On The Atlantic side in Northern Florida, sail  Jacksonville/St. Augustine and experience first-class marinas, ship supply stores, fine hotels, and five-star restaurants. Jacksonville caters to the boating crowd and hosts several waterfront festivals.

Here you will find world-class fishing. The city hosts one of the largest kingfish tournaments in Florida. Moreover, the shallow-water fishing in the salt marshes is as good as it gets.

Southern Florida | Ft. Lauderdale

In southern Florida, the Greater Fort Lauderdale area is the “Venice of America.” It has more than 300 miles of inland waterways. It also is the “Yachting Capital of the World” since more than 40,000 yachts call it home.

The annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is one of the yachting world’s most significant events. The Gulf Stream runs just a few miles offshore, luring blue-water anglers. The nearby coral reefs are a haven for scuba divers.

But the crowning jewel of the island chain is Key West, the Southernmost City. It is home to the best sunset in the continental United States. It is just a 70-mile crossing from Key West to Dry Tortugas National Park, home to Fort Jefferson. This port town inspired Jimmy Buffett to sing, so swing by Margaritaville for a cheeseburger in paradise.

Several factors come into play when considering the cost of charting a yacht in Florida, including the year that the boat was built, the builder, and the selection of water toys available. The reputation of a boat or celebrity owners could also come into play when determining charter rates. Another detail to take into account is when you wish to book your charter as prices increase during the high season and decrease during the low season.

When booking your charter vacation, be sure to ask if the rate is all-inclusive or if there will be additional expenses, and don’t forget to account for a gratuity for your crew.

Explore South Florida and the Florida Keys onboard a Private Charter Yacht

On a private crewed yacht charter in Florida, guests will find plenty of excitement and adventure. From sailing the Florida Keys to exploring the luxury boutiques on Ocean Drive in South Beach, here are some ideas for must-see spots and must-do activities on a crewed yacht charter in Florida:

Florida Keys

The Florida Keys – the string of idyllic islands just south of Miami – stretch for about 120 miles off the southern tip of Florida, from Biscayne National Park all the way to Key West. Each of the islands has its own personality and there are many things to do and see in the Keys: Fantastic diving in Key Largo, sportfishing in Islamorada, and incredible sunsets in Key West, to name a few.

There is no other place like Miami – its exotic mix of cultures offers an exhilarating experience. If you are a foodie or if you enjoy the nightlife, Miami is a must-stop on your yacht charter in South Florida. But the city is not only fun – it has great galleries, museums, and world-famous architecture, the Art Deco of South Beach.

Fort Lauderdale

An undisputed yachting capital of the US, Fort Lauderdale offers more than just state-of-the-art marina facilities. The city boasts amazing beaches, upscale restaurants, and numerous art and cultural events. And of course, there is the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show taking place every November – one of the biggest yachting events in the world.

The southernmost city in America, Key West, is the ultimate yacht charter destination. Here, you’ll find it all: beautiful beaches, quirky beach bars, and loads of interesting history.

South Florida Things to Do & See

South Florida has a Vibrant Nightlife

Head to the bright lights of Miami Beach, especially posh South Beach, for the best nightclub experience in North America. A-listers and celebrities regularly take to the VIP sections in South Beach’s clubs, and touring DJs make stops for drop-in sets. Whether you prefer beach cocktails at an open-air club or the basslines and dancing indoors, you’ll find the best of the best in Miami.

Beautiful Beaches

The Sunshine State’s stunning beaches are a major draw for Florida yacht charters. And in Florida, there are beaches to suit everyone’s tastes. From the sun-worshippers at Las Olas Beach in Fort Lauderdale to the beautiful reefs at Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, a beautiful beach is always a short cruise away.

Arts, Culture, and Architecture

The historic Art Deco District of Miami Beach boasts swanky hotels, eclectic houses, and elaborately-designed apartment buildings, all with Miami’s signature Art Deco flair. Numerous tours are available for architecture buffs. Or choose to explore Miami Beach’s bustling arts scene, with galleries and museums featuring collections from the Renaissance to modern-day.

Dive a Coral Reef in the U.S.

Key Largo is home to a massive coral reef, which boasts a colorful array of plants and marine life. This “self-proclaimed dive capital of the world” attracts divers from across the globe to Florida. Make a stop on your crewed boat rental to snorkel or dive in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, America’s first underwater park, which is known for its vibrant reef and idyllic beaches.

Magnificent Sunsets

The Florida Keys boast some of the most beautiful sunsets on the planet. End your day in the Marquesas Keys, a group of uninhabited islands that are surrounded by mangroves, or Indian Key, where colors brilliantly fade from the sky.

Florida and Miami luxury yacht charter

The Sunshine State of the US offers a multitude of cruising hotspots, from glitzy Miami to the secluded cays and lagoons en route to the Florida Keys. With 600 miles of beaches, the UNESCO-protected Everglades, pulsating cities, Michelin-star restaurants, thrill-a-minute attractions, crystal waters and colourful dive sites, a stateside luxury yacht charter in Miami and Florida ticks every box.

Florida yacht season and weather

The monicker of the Sunshine State may give it away, but Florida and Miami are blessed with blue skies almost all year round. Summer highs rise above 30°C while during winter months temperatures rarely dip below 20°C in the far south. Hurricane season runs from June to the end of November.

In the south and the Keys, December to March are ideal times to charter. Spring is a great time to explore the West Coast, Gulf Coast and Panhandle further north.

Miami and Florida yacht charter itineraries

Florida offers first class superyacht facilities. From private island marinas to expansive facilities a stone’s throw from iconic South Beach, Miami has a plethora of berthing options. Some of the best marinas in Miami include One Island Park, which accommodates yachts up to 244 metres and Island Garden, which has 50 superyacht berths for vessels up to 167 metres. At Island Garden, the alfresco bar and lounge, The Deck , is one of the top hotspots in town and boasts incredible views of downtown Miami.

The superyacht hub of Fort Lauderdale offers excellent facilities for visiting yachts including the luxurious Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina, which has slips for yachts up to 121 metres. The popular resort of Palm Beach is also easily accessible, with several large marinas.

The bright lights of Miami are a key highlight – it’s a city where guests can enjoy everything from world-class hotel spas to high-end shopping, art galleries, restaurants and pulsating nightlife. Yet while many visitors are initially drawn to the vibrant bars and attractions, Florida is also home to some incredibly picturesque and quiet beaches, golden sand islands and lesser-known coastal towns, which are perfect to explore by luxury charter. Deep sea fishing, abundant wildlife and marine life are also key calling cards for the Sunshine State.

On the west coast, the sheltered waters of the Intracoastal Waterway offer sublime cruising and stops along with Biscayne National Park to the south of Miami. On the Gulf Coast, visitors can explore the iconic Everglades, estimated to be approximately 5,000 years old and home to alligators, manatees, black bears and panthers. Just offshore, the shifting sands of the Ten Thousand Islands are a wild and stunning area perfect for exploration by yacht.

Further north on the Gulf Coast, picturesque beaches abound with the barrier islands of Sanibel and Captiva and a multitude of nature reserves adding to the allure. The coastal cities of St Petersburg, Tampa and Naples offer excellent dining and shopping.

For sun, sea, sand and spectacular diving, set sail for the gorgeous Florida Keys, which unfurl from the southerly tip of Florida. Around 20 nautical miles south of Miami, Elliott Key is an ideal first snorkel stop, with mesmerising reefs and gin-clear waters. Key Largo lies a leisurely 30 nautical miles further south, and is home to a championship golf course and relaxed dining options. From Largo, it’s a pick-and-mix of electric blue lagoons and sandy cays. Stop at the exclusive resort of Palm Island before hitting buzzing Key West, where you can enjoy some game fishing and see the sights.

Florida by superyacht

Getting to florida.

Florida has several international and regional airports. Some of the larger airports accommodating commercial and private aircraft include Miami International Airport, Tampa International, Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International. Key West International Airport also accommodates private jets.

Florida is an exceptional cruising destination, which can be enjoyed in isolation, or as part of a Bahamas and extended Caribbean yacht charter. Common routes in and out of Floridian waters are often via the Bahamas, which lie around 75 nautical miles east of the Florida coast.

Legal requirements

 The US Coast Guard has limited the passenger capacity of privately owned charter yachts to a total of 12 passengers (not including crew). 

Following a change in US law in August 2018, owners of vessels over 300 GT can now fly an American flag and register their boat in the United States.

Foreign-flagged yachts must make a formal vessel entry with a Customs & Border Protection (CBP) form 1300. It is advisable to contact the officials at your chosen Port of Entry in advance, to check requirements.

All foreign-flagged yachts require a Cruising License, which can be obtained at the time of entry from the CBP port director. A cruising license is valid for up to one year from the date of issue.
