Thank you so much for the experience. Our captain Walter was on time, helpful, and very easy to talk to. The views were outstanding to see on the water. The floating pad was a nice touch. Richelle’s customer service was out of this world. Will absolutely recommend you to others.
My mom and I enjoy the experience communication skills were on point professionalisms were on point and They treated us with respect I like my captain he Was laid back and had good energy and work with our schedule will definitely book again with this company thank you ! :)
I highly recommend this Yacht. Captain and crew were both so friendly and took great care of me and my girls! We went on for a bachelorette party and we got to take an amazing boat tour on the pretty Miami water and then anchor down to jump in and use the floats provided! So much fun would definitely do this again.
Thanks to Frank and our wonderful captain Javier for giving my guests & I such a beautiful experience. From start to finish they were so easy to do business with. The communication was always great. Our time on the water was the most relaxed I have felt in a long time. We were able to bring food and beverages. They provided a cooler and champagne (thank you for that). We were also able to connect our music to Bluetooth so make sure to have a playlist ready. Javier was an amazing captain, one of the best I’ve ever chartered with! He was punctual, easy going, extremely accommodating and took us to a lovely sand bar where we were could swim. I could have laid out on that water mat all day soaking up the sun. I can’t wait to return! This experience is truly worth it.
This boat was really beautiful, extremely clean and the crew was so much fun! Christina was an amazing captain and really went above and beyond to make my birthday special. I will definitely be back to Miami and charter this boat and crew again!!
The experience from start to finish was impeccable. We first began communicating with Marcel and had tons of questions which he was able to respond to right away. We spent a lot of time researching different options. Marcel was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and was not pushy just to make a sale. He genuinely cared that we found the right fit for the occasion. Once we paid our deposit, the instructions were clear and we when it was closer to the day they provided a list of captains to chose from. We chose Cristina and Carlos and we were so happy we did because they made our experience on the boat so memorable. They provided ice and a mat was brought out as well. There was a place to store our food and cake. We were able to hook up our phones to the speaker using the blue tooth and there is amazing rest areas downstairs with full functional AC. It was great to cool off after being in the sweltering sun. Would we book with Cristina, Marcel, and carlos again? Absolutely and we recommend them to anyone who wants your boat charters handled by professionals. See you for our next event and they have so many different options of boats as well to fit all your event needs whether big or small.
Miami, Florida is one of the top travel destinations in the United States, offering year-round sunshine, stunning beaches, a dynamic food and nightlife scene, and endless entertainment options. It’s surrounded by water, sandbars, and islands, making it one of the best places in the world to rent a boat or yacht.
As one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world, Miami has earned its reputation as Florida’s most famous vacation city. For boaters in particular, the Miami-Dade area offers fantastic boating locations for all sorts of water activities, from boat parties at iconic sandbars to relaxing private cruises in quiet waters.
So if you’re a boater — or a soon-to-be-boater — looking for a beautiful and tropical locale that has something for everyone to enjoy, Miami should be on your short list for your next destination.
And if you’ve never rented a boat before but want to learn how to experience the on-the-water life in Miami, this guide can help you plan every step of your day.
The average rental duration for GetMyBoat bookings in Miami — perfect for a long and leisurely cruise around the shore.
March to August rentals account for 70% of all GetMyBoat trips in Miami, though the weather allows for year-round boating.
It’s year-round! The consistently warm temperatures and ample sunshine make it possible to rent a boat at virtually any time of year. Hurricane season runs from June to November, but unless you see a hurricane in the forecast, chances are that it’s still a good time to rent a boat.
There’s never a bad time, really. You can hit one of the big events like Art Basel, Ultra, Art Deco Weekend, or Jazz Festival to feel the excitement of the crowds, or just choose a long weekend to sit on a boat and enjoy the Miami lifestyle.
We like going between March and May, when you’ll get both warm temperatures and off-peak rates. And since the summer can be very hot and humid, be prepared to spend time in the water if you’re visiting between June and September.
In a word: perfect. The water temperature is always comfortably warm, in a consistent range between 71ºF–79ºF (or 22ºC–26ºC), with July typically being the warmest month for the water.
