What the total usually covers
In Miami, a private crewed yacht day for a group usually falls somewhere between $4,000 and $50,000. Where your day lands depends on the yacht, the length of the charter, the day of the week and the season. Rates are on request, and we send a written quote for your exact date.
- The yacht and the crew. Captain and crew for the hours you book.
- Fuel and the route. A sandbar afternoon uses less fuel than a long cruise up the coast.
- Food and drinks. Catering on board, a private chef or your own choice of drinks.
- Gratuity for the crew. Usually added at the end, based on the total.
- Extras. Water toys, a photographer, flowers or a birthday cake.

Three simple ways to split it
- Equal shares. The total, including gratuity and extras, divided by the number of guests. This is the most common and the easiest to explain.
- Base plus extras. Everyone shares the yacht and the crew equally, and guests who want a chef, a photographer or more drinks cover those parts.
- Host plus guests. The host covers the yacht for a birthday or a celebration, and the group shares the food, drinks and gratuity.
Who pays the deposit
The booking is confirmed with one deposit and one agreement, signed by one person. Most groups choose one organizer who pays the deposit and collects shares from everyone else. We recommend collecting the shares before the deposit is paid, so the organizer is not left waiting.
Tips that keep it easy
- Agree on the budget first. Decide on a range per person before you choose the yacht.
- Confirm the guest count early. The yacht is sized to the group, and the share changes if people drop out.
- Put everything in one message. Share the quote, the date and each person’s share in your group chat.
- Ask about the date. A weekday or a shorter charter can lower the total for everyone.
Make it a full plan
Many groups pair the yacht with a private villa, sometimes an off-market home with its own dock so the yacht can pick everyone up at the house. We can also add a driver, a private chef and dinner reservations, all through one contact. See our yacht charters and personal concierge.
