Yacht Rentals & Charters in Miami

Miami carries 12 yachts in the Shift fleet, ranging from 37 feet up to a 135-foot superyacht, with boats holding up to 13 guests. Nearly every Miami charter includes a captain, 11 of the 12 boats, and many carry a full crew and extras like a sound system, jet skis or a paddleboard.

Hourly rates start at $195 and reach $2,995 for the largest boats, with a median around $887 an hour. A concierge confirms every charter rather than an instant checkout: send your dates, group size and preferred area, and a representative confirms the boat, the crew and the price before anything is charged.

Charters typically run out of marinas around South Beach, Brickell and Biscayne Bay, with trips commonly running out toward Key Biscayne or up to Fort Lauderdale for guests based further north. Trips are booked by the hour rather than a fixed daily package, so the concierge team can build a shorter sunset run or a full-day charter around your plans.
