Florida: A sun-soaked paradise in the southeastern United States

Florida is your yacht charter destination if you're looking for sun-drenched beaches, lively waterfront cities, and diverse cruising grounds. With over 1,350 miles of coastline, this state offers endless adventure opportunities, from the Everglades' wild beauty to the neon-lit nightlife of Miami. Plus, Florida is home to over 1,250 golf courses—the most of any U.S. state—so you can always drop anchor and enjoy a round at any world-class course.

The state's West Coast stretches from Georgia to Miami, offering some of the best big-game fishing waters along the sheltered Intracoastal Waterway. Miami, often called the 'Magic City,' is the epicenter of glamour, yachting culture, and nonstop entertainment. Superyachts here line the waterfront, as you can often see restaurants, bars, and galleries near or along the shore. Cruise through Biscayne Bay, admiring the Art Deco skyline. Explore Star Island, home to some of the world's most extravagant waterfront mansions. Meanwhile, South Beach continues to attract the jet set with its luxurious resorts and glamorous beach clubs. At the same time, downtown Miami has transformed into a hotspot for culture and design, particularly in the Wynwood and Design districts.

As you set sail south, the Florida Keys offer some of the best cruising waters in the world. This stunning island chain stretches over 120 miles and is where you can find the only living coral barrier reef in the US. Some spots you can visit here are Key Largo, Islamorada, and Key West.

On the Gulf Coast, yachts and tenders explore the winding waterways of the Everglades, an ecological wonderland filled with diverse wildlife and otherworldly scenery. Just offshore, the untouched beauty of the Ten Thousand Islands creates a stunning backdrop for a yacht charter. Further north, the coastal cities of St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Naples offer a refined mix of shopping, dining, and world-class marinas. This coast is also home to a string of barrier islands, including Sanibel and Captiva.

No Florida yacht charter is complete without a stop in Fort Lauderdale, often called the "Yachting Capital of the World." With over 300 miles of inland waterways, the city is like the Venice of America. It's also home to the renowned Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the world's largest in-water boat show.

With so much to offer, Florida is a premier yachting destination that caters to every kind of traveler. So view all yachts available for charter and start planning your next adventure!
