Private Yacht Charter Stuart, Florida: Sunset & Brunch Cruises

Sail your own boat with a crew that handles everything.

A private yacht charter in Stuart, Florida aboard the Onward & Upward, a 43-foot Hatteras that seats 3 to 7 passengers for a 2-hour river cruise with a live English-speaking guide. Customize the experience with brunch, sunset sailing, wine or champagne tastings, and floating spa treatments. Snacks and beverages are included, and you bring your own alcohol (no red wine). Children from age 2 are welcome, and pickup is included.

The experience

What do you do when you want to celebrate or unwind without planning the logistics? You book the Onward & Upward and let the crew handle the route, the timing and the details. The yacht seats between 3 and 7 passengers, so a small group or a family books one boat without splitting up. A live guide in English is aboard for the full 2 hours, and you choose what the day looks like: a brunch cruise, a sunset run, a wine tasting, or simply drifting on the water with no agenda. Snacks come with the booking (charcuterie, shrimp cocktail, mini Key lime cupcakes), and you can add champagne or wine tastings at checkout.

The boat departs from Stuart, Florida, and the route is yours to shape. Want to anchor in a quiet cove? The crew knows the water. Planning a proposal or a small wedding? The operator has 30 years of event planning experience and can coordinate floating spa treatments, tequila tastings, or a full catered spread. Bring your own alcohol if you prefer (red wine is the only restriction), or let the crew source the wine and champagne. Children from age 2 ride free, and infants sit on an adult's lap. Public transportation options are nearby if you're traveling without a car.
