What to Expect at a Yacht Party

A yacht party isn’t just another get-together—it’s an elevated experience that blends waterfront luxury with unforgettable moments. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a corporate event, or simply enjoying a sun-soaked day with friends, stepping aboard a private yacht sets the scene for something truly special. If you’ve never been to a yacht party (or you're planning your first one), here’s everything you can expect—from what’s included to how to prepare, and how to make the most of your time on the water.

Stylish Ambience from the Start

From the moment you arrive at the marina, the tone is set. A yacht party combines a relaxed vibe with upscale surroundings. You’ll be greeted by the crew and step aboard a sleek, fully-equipped yacht with spacious decks and lounges.

For example, the 70 Azimut is one of Miami’s most popular party yachts. With a 13-day guest capacity, sleek modern interiors, an open flybridge, and expansive sunbathing areas, it's designed for both comfort and celebration. This yacht also comes equipped with WiFi to keep you updated. The starting price is $4,700* for 4 hours.

Personalized Service from a Dedicated Crew

Every charter includes a professional crew to handle everything from navigation to hospitality. For most yacht parties, a crew of 2 ensures your trip runs smoothly—serving drinks, keeping things clean, and even helping with photos or music if needed.

On the 68 Princess, up to 13 day guests can enjoy a seamless experience led by a professional crew of 2. They take care of everything — from assisting and adjusting the music to navigating the best scenic routes around Miami. Whether you need extra towels or a curated vibe for your playlist, the crew ensures your group feels like VIPs every step of the way. The starting price is $5,000* for 4 hours.

Picture-Perfect Views and Cruise Routes

In Miami, most yacht parties follow scenic routes through Biscayne Bay, Star Island, Millionaire’s Row, and out toward the crystal-clear waters near Haulover Sandbar or Nixon Sandbar. Whether you're anchored for a swim stop or cruising through downtown at sunset, you’ll get views you simply can’t find on land.

On the 100 Majesty, up to 13 day guests can enjoy panoramic views through oversized windows and relax on a spacious flybridge built for sightseeing and lounging. Anchor near Nixon Sandbar for a swim or cruise past downtown Miami’s glittering skyline as the sun sets—every moment feels like a postcard. The starting price is $8,100* for 4 hours.

Music, Drinks, and Dancing Onboard

A high-quality Bluetooth or onboard sound system lets you set the tone for your party. Want a chill lounge vibe? Or a high-energy party with your own DJ? Either option is possible depending on the yacht and your preferences.

The 55 Azimut welcomes up to 13 day guests and features a premium Bluetooth sound system that lets you bring your playlist to life. Whether you're dancing on the bow or vibing with your group in the salon, this yacht delivers a lively atmosphere with plenty of room to move. The starting price is $2,400* for 4 hours.

Water Toys and Swimming Stops

Most party-friendly yachts come with water toys like floaties, waterslides, and sometimes Jetskis or Seabobs. If you’ve selected a yacht with a swim platform or floating mat, you can expect to spend part of the charter jumping into the water and lounging in the sun.

The 88 Sirena transforms every swim stop into a private playground for up to 13 day guests. With a Seabob, jetski, floats, and a jacuzzi, you’ll have everything you need for fun on and off the water. Your captain will anchor in a calm, scenic spot, like Nixon Sandbar or Monument Island. The starting price is $9,000* for 4 hours.

  • Lightweight cover-up or dress

Most importantly, wear something comfortable that makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
