Yacht Charter Miami
A Bayside Marketplace charter outfit running party boats and Azimut yachts on Biscayne Bay, for groups of 13 up to 45.
Checked October 2026
For groups planning a birthday or big celebration on the water who want the crew to handle the logistics. The trade-off: no prices are posted, so you're comparing blind until the quote comes back.
Picking a boat
The fleet splits into two moods. The 75-foot Azimut Fly is the polished option, capped at 13 passengers, with a 70-foot Azimut flybridge and a 70-foot Gianetti set up for dining alongside it. The 50-foot Champagne Shower boat takes up to 45 guests and is pitched at large celebrations. The 45-foot Boho party boat, also listed as a Cove Runner, is the one sold as a floating club. Match the boat to your headcount first, then the mood. A dozen friends on the 50-footer will feel thin, and 30 people simply won't fit on the Azimut.
Arriving at Bayside
Boats leave from the marina at Bayside Marketplace on Biscayne Boulevard. The company's own instructions are specific: pull into the small lot by the Hard Rock Cafe, and crew loads your bags onto a marina cart. One person peels off to park at the Bayfront Park lot next door, which runs $10 to $15, while everyone else gets walked to the boat. It's a smart system, since Bayside on a weekend is easy to get turned around in. Build in extra time anyway, because downtown traffic doesn't care when your charter starts.
Getting a quote
Everything goes through a quote form where you pick a boat and a date. Listed hours run 9 am to 11:30 pm every day. Trips on offer include harbor cruises, dinner cruises, South Florida river excursions and longer runs to the Bahamas, plus a bareboat option with its own contract. The rating is a clean 5.0 from about 310 Google reviews, which counts for something in a business where one bad captain shows up in the reviews fast. When the number comes back, ask exactly what's included so the total doesn't surprise you on the dock.
