Exclusive Schooner Charters in Miami

Typically, the charter fee includes the use of the vessel, a licensed captain, and professional crew members. It also covers local fuel and standard safety equipment. Additional costs usually include food and beverage catering, dockage fees at specific requested locations outside the home port, and a customary gratuity for the crew, which is generally 15-20% of the base charter rate.

Yes, schooners are exceptionally popular for intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, and corporate events due to their wide decks and aesthetic appeal. Depending on the specific vessel, we can accommodate groups from 12 to over 40 guests. Our team can coordinate with local florists and high-end caterers to ensure your event in Miami's Biscayne Bay is executed to your exact specifications.

Most guests opt for a 4-hour half-day charter or an 8-hour full-day experience. A 4-hour trip is perfect for a tour of the Venetian Islands and a quick swim, while an 8-hour charter allows you to travel further south to Elliott Key or spend more time anchored at a sandbar. We also offer 2-hour sunset cruises for those looking for a shorter, scenic evening out.

Safety is our primary concern. If the captain determines that weather conditions—such as high winds or thunderstorms—are unsafe for sailing, we will first attempt to reschedule your trip for another time. If rescheduling is not possible due to your travel dates, we provide a refund or credit according to the specific terms of the charter agreement. Standard Miami rain showers often pass quickly and do not necessarily result in cancellations.
