Your Yacht Leaves the Marina at Chamonix. What Happens Next Depends on How Long You Stay.

You board a private yacht at Miami River, cruise past Brickell and Downtown to Fisher Island, and choose between a 2-hour sightseeing loop, a 4-hour trip with jet ski time at Marine Stadium, or a 6-hour extended anchor. Two jet skis are included; life jackets, music, and a floating mat come with the boat. Plan for separate payments: $200 marina fee plus $100/hour for fuel and crew, paid directly to third parties. Confirm your captain before arrival to avoid delays.

The Experience

The boat pushes off from Chamonix Marina on the Miami River, and you're moving past working shipyards, waterfront restaurants like Kiki on the River, and the kind of luxury yachts that make you stare. The Brickell skyline rises on one side—all glass and money—and you're seeing it from the water, which changes how it looks. If you've booked the 2-hour option, this is the whole trip: a cruise through Downtown's urban pulse, then back to the marina. But most people go longer.

The 4-hour Miami yacht rental takes you past the river sightseeing into Biscayne Bay, where you anchor at Marine Stadium. This is where the jet skis come in—two of them, reserved in advance, no extra charge. You can swim off the floating mat, crank the music system (it's professional-grade), and if you were born after January 1, 1988, you'll need to have completed Florida's Boating Safety Test ($13.99) before you touch the throttle. The crew handles the boat; you handle the speed. If you want to linger, the 6-hour charter gives you 3 to 4 hours anchored there—enough time to actually relax instead of rushing through the jet ski window.

What doesn't come with the yacht price: marina pickup is $200, fuel runs $100 per hour, and crew payment is another $100 per hour. These are paid separately to third parties—US Coast Guard bareboat regulations require it that way. So a 4-hour trip costs the yacht rental plus $200 plus $400 in fuel and crew. It's not hidden, but it's not bundled either, and you need to know it before you book. One more thing: you have to confirm your captain in advance by contacting the operator before your trip. Show up without that confirmation and you might wait 1 to 2 hours or get moved to a different departure location. Late arrivals don't extend your time—any minutes you miss are gone, and the jet ski cost doesn't come back if you don't have time to use them.

Bottled water, life jackets, ice, and a floating blanket are on board. Infants can come along (they sit on an adult's lap or in a specialized seat). Departure times are subject to availability and get confirmed after you book—the operator will work with you on timing, or offer something close to what you wanted. The whole thing hinges on showing up on time and having your captain locked in beforehand.
