Charter & Rent a Prestige X70 in Miami: 2026 Guide, Prices & Routes
Technical Specifications of the Prestige X70
The Prestige X70 is the flagship of the X-Line, designed to bridge the gap between a traditional motor yacht and a luxury villa. Its most striking feature is the redistribution of space; by moving the side decks to the flybridge, the designers have utilized the full beam of the boat on the main deck. This creates a saloon that is significantly larger than any other vessel in its class.

| Berths | 8 Guests (12 for day charters) |

Why the Prestige X70 is the Ultimate Choice for Miami
Miami’s boating culture revolves around "becoming part of the scenery," and the X70 is built for exactly that. The shallow draft of 1.7 meters is particularly advantageous in South Florida. It allows the captain to navigate the thin waters of Biscayne Bay and approach popular shallow-water anchorages like the Haulover Sandbar or the protected coves of Elliott Key without concern.
Furthermore, Miami’s tropical climate demands seamless indoor-outdoor living. The X70’s "infinity cockpit" provides an expansive terrace that sits flush with the main saloon, offering 270-degree views of the Miami skyline. When the humidity rises in mid-summer, the high-capacity tropical air conditioning ensures the interior remains a cool sanctuary, while the submersible swim platform provides easy "beach access" for swimmers and those using sea bobs or paddleboards.

Curated Itineraries: From Biscayne Bay to the Keys
Most Prestige X70 charters depart from prestigious hubs like Miami Beach Marina or Epic Marina in Downtown. Here are two ways to spend your time aboard.
1-Day Miami Experience
Start your morning by cruising past the "Millionaire’s Row" on Star Island to admire the celebrity estates. Head south toward the historic Stiltsville—a collection of wooden shacks perched above the flats of Biscayne Bay. Drop anchor at Nixon Beach Sandbar for a catered lunch on the X70’s expansive flybridge. Spend the afternoon swimming and jet-skiing before returning to the city just as the sun sets behind the Brickell skyline, providing the perfect backdrop for cocktails on the aft deck.
3-7 Day Florida Keys Expedition
With a multi-day charter, you can truly utilize the four-cabin layout of the Prestige X70.
- Day 1-2: Head south to Key Largo. Stop for snorkeling at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the first undersea park in the U.S.
- Day 3-4: Continue to Islamorada, the sport-fishing capital of the world. Enjoy a "dock and dine" experience at a local luxury resort.
- Day 5-7: Reach the vibrant docks of Key West. Explore the historic town by day and enjoy the privacy of your yacht anchored off Sunset Key by night before the smooth cruise back to Miami.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Miami
Miami offers world-class infrastructure for yachts of this size. The Prestige X70 is frequently berthed at the Miami Beach Marina, located at the southern tip of South Beach. This location provides immediate access to the Atlantic Ocean through Government Cut. Other popular choices include Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island, which is designed specifically for superyachts, and Epic Marina, which places guests in the heart of the downtown dining scene.
When berthing, the X70’s Volvo IPS docking technology with joystick control is a significant advantage, allowing the captain to maneuver into tight slips at crowded marinas like Miamarina at Bayside with surgical precision. Most charters include berthing at the home port, but overnight stays at other marinas will incur additional "transient" dockage fees.
What is Included in Your Charter?
Understanding the "all-in" cost is vital when chartering a Prestige X70 in Miami. Typically, the base charter rate covers the yacht and the professional crew (Captain and Stewardess/Chef). However, the following variables are usually handled via the APA:
- Fuel: Charged based on actual consumption. The X70 is efficient for its size, but high-speed transit will increase costs.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): Usually 30-35% of the charter fee, used to cover food, beverages, and specialized requests.
- Taxes: Florida Sales Tax (typically 7%) is applicable to charters starting in Miami.
- End Cleaning: Usually included in weekly rates but may be a separate fee for 1-day rentals.
- Service: A discretionary gratuity for the crew (standardly 15-20% of the base rate) is customary in the US market.

Best Months and Sea Conditions
The "Prime Season" for Miami yachting is November through April. During these months, the humidity is low, and the sea state in the Atlantic is generally manageable, while Biscayne Bay remains flat and calm. This is the ideal time for those who want to avoid the summer heat.
The "Summer Season" (May to August) brings warmer waters, perfect for swimming, though afternoon thunderstorms are common. While hurricane season officially runs from June to November, modern forecasting allows for safe operation, and many guests prefer the calmer, glass-like summer seas for cruising to the Bahamas or the Keys.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is renting a Prestige X70 in Miami suitable for families?
Absolutely. The Prestige X70 is designed with safety and stability in mind. The wide side decks (located on the flybridge level) and the high bulwarks make it a secure environment for children. The four-cabin layout also allows for a dedicated "kids' cabin" if staying overnight.
What is the difference between a day rental and chartering a Prestige X70 in Miami for a week?
A day rental is focused on local sightseeing and "sandbar hopping" within the Miami area, typically lasting 4 to 8 hours. Chartering for a week allows for a broader itinerary, including the Florida Keys or even the Bimini islands in the Bahamas, with full use of the yacht's luxury cabins and overnight amenities.
Do I need a license to drive the yacht myself?
Renting a Prestige X70 in Miami almost always requires a professional captain due to the value of the vessel and insurance requirements. Even for experienced boaters, having a local captain ensures you find the best hidden spots and navigate the shifting sands of the Florida coastline safely.
How many people can stay overnight on the Prestige X70?
While the yacht can host up to 12 guests for day trips, it comfortably sleeps 8 guests in 4 en-suite cabins: a Master suite, a VIP suite, and two twin/double guest cabins. This makes it ideal for two families or four couples.
