Wondering if you can cruise from Miami’s vibrant shores to the tranquil beaches of the Bahamas on a single yacht charter? At YATR, the answer is yes! Our luxury yacht charters can travel between four stunning destinations—Miami, Fort Lauderdale, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean—offering you the freedom to craft a multi-destination adventure. This guide explains how yacht charters work and highlights why round-trip itineraries are often the most convenient option. Embarking and returning from the same location means no need to arrange extra flights or transfers. Just relax and enjoy the full private charter experience from start to finish.
Why Yachts Are Perfect for Multi-Destination Travel
A private yacht charter lets you explore multiple destinations in style, combining luxury with the thrill of a sea journey. Unlike fixed venues, yachts can cruise between cities, islands, or even countries, with YATR’s fleet navigating routes across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. Here’s why it’s a top choice:
Custom Itineraries: Tailor your trip to visit multiple destinations at your own pace.
Stunning Views: Cruise past coastal landmarks and open-ocean vistas.
All-in-One Convenience: Your yacht is your hotel, restaurant, and entertainment hub.
Exclusive Access: Reach private cays or secluded beaches that land travelers can’t.
YATR makes it easy with transparent pricing, instant booking, and concierge services. Let’s explore the two ways to travel: round-trip and one-way charters.
Round-Trip Yacht Charters: Explore and Return
A round-trip yacht charter lets you cruise from one destination to another and return to your starting point within the same charter period. This is ideal for those who want to explore multiple locations without relocating the yacht’s homeport. Round-trips require an adequate charter length to account for travel time, stops, and enjoyment at each destination.
Round-Trip from Miami to the Bahamas
Route: Start in Miami, cruise to the Bahamas, spend time exploring, and return to Miami.
Charter Length: A 2-night charter allows ample time for the crossing, visiting Bimini, enjoying beach time, and relaxing on board before heading back.

This yacht welcomes up to 13 passengers and is designed for both relaxation and exploration. Enjoy an array of water toys, including jetski, seabobs, floats, and a tender for seamless discovery. Onboard WiFi keeps you connected throughout your charter.

What Determines the Price of a Yacht Charter?
Before talking about discounts or deals, it’s essential to understand what goes into a yacht charter rate. At YATR, pricing is structured clearly, with all costs shown upfront to avoid any confusion or surprises. Here's a quick breakdown:
Base Rate: This is the nightly cost to book the yacht. It varies depending on the size, model, and season.
APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance): Typically 35% of the base rate, the APA covers fuel, food, drinks, dockage, and other operational expenses. If your itinerary goes beyond the yacht's typical cruising range, additional fuel charges may apply.
