Renting Yachts and Dinner Cruises
When you spend a week in Miami, Florida, you are bound to rent a yacht and reserve dinner for two on a cruise. Speeding the Miami Beach waters can be one of the most exciting adventures that you may (or will) ever encounter. It’s a special place here. So much so that River Yacht Club was named the “Best Neighborhood in Town.”
What Are The Costs of a Yacht Rental in Miami
First off, there are a few costs that go into planning a trip in South Florida, that’s for sure. Second, when you plan the most amazing, private, prime luxury yacht charter Miami beach has to offer, there will be more expenses than just one. The only exception is if you choose the right company that includes all services, including the yacht captain and crew.
With that said, the costs of a yacht rental are:
- Crew
- Water Toys
- Diving
- Food
- Drinks
- Fuel
- Water / Electric
- Dockage
- Transportation (Airport)
- Crew gratuity
- Taxes / VAT (Not all the time)
- Misc Fees
Of this entire list, fuel is probably the most expensive cost when on a yacht charter. The amount of fuel that is used on big boats (80 ft yacht or bigger) would surprise the average person. The fact of the matter is, fuel is expensive and so is filling up the tank of an 80 ft yacht.
Take a look at this video and see exactly how much fuel it takes to fill a tank on a big boat.
The captain and crew would be the next highest cost of the trip. If you want exceptional service, you will definitely want to hire a top of the line captain and crew. Professional service on your charter or rental can make a monumental difference in terms of the charter experience. Most brokers and companies that offer rentals or charters will have their captain and crew already picked out. This is because of the number of years in the industry they have been in the business for. More years in the business, the more strong relationships that are built.
Make no mistake about it that chartering or renting a yacht (especially in Miami) can be very expensive. Don’t let that discourage you one bit though. Just make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.
How Do I Book a Destination Yacht Charter?
Depending on where you are going, it is actually quite simple to book a destination yacht charter. If you know exactly where you want to go, and where you are departing, then all you need to do is get in touch with a local company that can get you a yacht that suits your needs and a captain and crew. On the other hand, if you are not sure where you want to go, the yacht broker and/or company can consult with you based on their experiences with other clients that they served.
Again, this all depends on how good the charter company is that you are working with.
