Whether you are planning a corporate retreat, a milestone birthday, or a large family gathering, our fleet offers the perfect blend of stability, space, and luxury. Set sail from world-class marinas to explore the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay in unparalleled comfort.
Luxury Fleet and Event Services
Our selection of catamarans for groups in Miami is designed to accommodate various party sizes, from intimate gatherings of 12 to large-scale celebrations for over 50 guests. These vessels feature expansive trampoline nets for sunbathing, shaded lounge areas, and state-of-the-art sound systems. When you book with Charter & Villas, your rental typically includes a licensed captain and professional stew staff to manage every detail. We offer customizable catering packages ranging from casual BBQ spreads to gourmet multi-course meals, ensuring your event on the water is seamless and sophisticated. Many of our larger power catamarans also come equipped with water toys, including paddleboards and snorkeling gear, to keep your guests entertained throughout the day.
Iconic Miami Sailing Routes
Departing from prime locations like Miamarina at Bayside or Coconut Grove, your group can enjoy a variety of scenic itineraries. A popular choice for group charters is a cruise past the stunning Millionaire's Row, where you can admire the architectural marvels of Star Island and Hibiscus Island. For those looking to relax, we often drop anchor at the Nixon Beach Sandbar or the Haulover Sandbar, where the shallow, crystal-clear water creates a social atmosphere perfect for swimming and wading. If you prefer a more tranquil setting, sailing south toward the protected waters of Biscayne National Park offers a glimpse into Florida's natural beauty, with opportunities to spot dolphins and manatees against the backdrop of the iconic Miami skyline.
Pricing and Booking Process
The cost of group catamaran rentals in Miami varies based on the size of the vessel, the duration of the charter, and the season. Generally, prices for a half-day private group charter start from approximately $2,500, while full-day excursions for larger groups can range from $5,000 to over $12,000 for high-end luxury models. Factors such as holiday surcharges, specialized catering, and open bar packages will influence the final quote. To secure your preferred date, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance, especially for weekend slots. Our process is straightforward: once you select a vessel, a dedicated charter consultant will handle the contracts and logistics, allowing you to focus entirely on your guests.
Best Time to Sail and Expert Tips
Miami is a year-round boating destination, but the best time for group catamaran rentals is typically between November and May when the weather is pleasantly warm and the humidity is low. If you are visiting during the summer months, we suggest morning or sunset charters to avoid the midday heat and occasional tropical afternoon showers. To enhance your experience, consider pairing your yacht rental with one of our luxury villa stays in Miami Beach or Coral Gables for the ultimate vacation package. Always remember to advise your guests to bring reef-safe sunscreen and non-marking deck shoes to keep the vessel in pristine condition. Our team is available to coordinate ground transportation from your villa directly to the marina for a truly door-to-door service.

FAQ
How many people can fit on group catamaran rentals in Miami?
Capacity depends on the specific vessel and its Coast Guard certification. Many private catamarans are limited to 12 or 13 guests for standard charters, but we offer specialized commercial-grade catamarans designed for large events that can comfortably accommodate groups of 30 to 100 passengers.
Is fuel included in the rental price?
For most local group charters within Biscayne Bay, fuel is included in the initial quote. However, for longer trips or high-speed power catamarans, fuel may be charged based on consumption. Your charter consultant will provide a transparent breakdown of all costs, including any 'Idle Speed' versus 'Cruising Speed' fuel policies.
Can we bring our own food and drinks on board?
While many of our catamarans offer professional catering services, several vessels allow you to bring your own provisions. A 'corkage' or 'service fee' may apply to cover the use of the galley and the cleanup. We recommend discussing your specific catering needs during the booking process to ensure the boat has the necessary facilities.
What happens if there is bad weather on the day of the charter?
Safety is our primary concern. If the captain determines that weather conditions are unsafe (such as high winds or lightning), we will work with you to reschedule the event. If rescheduling is not possible, a refund or credit is typically issued according to the specific terms of your charter agreement.
