How much does a Miami yacht charter cost?

A bareboat rental can start around four hundred dollars, while a crewed luxury motor yacht for four hours generally runs two thousand to four thousand five hundred dollars. Full‑day charters range from thirty‑five hundred to seven thousand dollars, and overnight Bahamas trips start around eight thousand dollars.

For local half‑day and full‑day charters, fuel is typically included. For longer runs like a Bahamas crossing, fuel is a major line item — ask the operator directly.

What is usually included in the charter price?

Most crewed charters include a licensed captain, at least one crew member, fuel for local cruising, ice, water, and basic water toys. Food, alcohol, gratuity, and dockage fees are usually extra — always confirm.

Why are some charters much cheaper than others?

Lower prices often indicate a bareboat rental, an older boat, or a price that excludes captain fees and fuel. Legitimate crewed charters have real operational costs that create a pricing floor.

Do you need to tip the crew?

Yes, crew gratuity is customary. The industry standard is fifteen to twenty percent of the charter price, given at the end of the trip if you’re satisfied with the service.
