10-21-2025 3:07 PM

If you’re planning a yacht charter in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or the Bahamas, you might wonder if smoking is allowed onboard. The answer is simple: smoking is not permitted on any YATR yachts. This rule ensures the safety, comfort, and cleanliness of every yacht, protecting both guests and crew during your trip.

Why Smoking Is Not Allowed Onboard

1. Safety Comes First

Yachts contain sensitive materials, fuel, and electrical systems that make open flames and smoke a serious hazard. Even a small spark or ember could cause damage or endanger guests and crew.

2. Protecting the Yacht

Smoke can leave long-lasting odors and residue that harm luxury interiors, upholstery, and equipment. Maintaining a smoke-free environment ensures the yacht remains in excellent condition for every guest.

3. Comfort for All Guests

Many charters include families, groups, or corporate clients. A no-smoking policy keeps the atmosphere fresh, enjoyable, and comfortable for everyone on board.

What to Do Instead?

While smoking isn’t allowed on YATR yachts, guests are free to step off the yacht and smoke at designated areas near the marina before or after their charter. Your captain can direct you to the nearest safe location if needed.
