Miami's name means "big water," a nod to its expansive waterways. In fact, this city is one of the places that comes alive from the water. Here, you'll see a dazzling skyline, world-class beaches, and endless entertainment. Whether you're cruising past the iconic Art Deco buildings of South Beach, sipping cocktails at a celebrity-favorite rooftop bar, or dancing the night away in a high-energy salsa club, Miami is an unforgettable yacht charter destination.

Anchor of the shores of South Beach, known for its soft white sand, art deco architecture, and electrifying nightlife, this is the place to see and be seen. Many clubs and dining spots here are exclusive, so working with a charter broker or concierge service can ensure VIP access during your stay in Miami. Also, hop on a tender and head to Ocean Drive for world-famous restaurants, designer shopping, and buzzing beach clubs. Just nearby, Star Island is home to some of the most extravagant waterfront mansions in the city—cruising by on your yacht offers a peek into Miami's ultra-luxury lifestyle.

For a more exclusive escape, visit Fisher Island—a private enclave accessible only by boat. This hidden retreat is known for its beaches, landscapes, and even celebrity residents. It's a perfect place to drop anchor for a peaceful afternoon or enjoy a private dining experience onboard with unbeatable Miami skyline views.

Your Miami charter itinerary wouldn't be completed without exploring Biscayne Bay. The waters here are ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and jet skiing. Make a stop at Stiltsville, a place where you can see historic wooden houses built on stilts over the water, which dates back to the 1930s. These unique structures tell a fascinating story of Miami's historic past. For a laid-back day on the water, set sail toward Key Biscayne. Nearby, Nixon Sandbar is a favorite among yacht-goers looking to drop anchor, swim, and enjoy the party atmosphere that builds throughout the weekend.

Meanwhile, cruising through the Venetian Islands offers a glimpse of Miami's most prestigious waterfront homes. Continue along the Miami River, where you can dock at upscale waterfront restaurants like Seaspice or Kiki on the River.

For a completely different side of Miami, take a day trip from the city to explore the Everglades, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is a must-see for yacht charter guests looking to experience the subtropical wilderness. Explore the winding waterways by kayak, spot exotic wildlife, or take in the stunning landscape from a private floatplane.

With over 300 miles of navigable waterways, Miami is hands down one of the best cities in the world for yachting. Whether you're in the mood for non-stop parties and nightlife or a peaceful escape into the untouched beauty of the Everglades, Miami has it all. Check out all the yacht charters available in Miami!
