Miami Yachting Company

I honestly wish I knew about this company sooner! We rented a yacht from here after one of the owners from a rental site cancelled our booking on us just 2 weeks before our reserved date (that was made 3 months in advance!). It was such a scramble to find something on a Saturday for a full day with such short notice. Luckily, I stumbled upon Miami Yachting Company during a web search. After reading such good reviews, I reached out to them via text to see if anything was available. They were responsive and very helpful. They were also easy to reach through phone and very professional.

The whole process was so easy and they provide you with thorough instructions. Our captain and crew mate (Jose and Betty) were incredible and timely! They were very professional and accommodating to our group of 12. The yacht was just as pictured, clean and spacious. I will never rent from anywhere else and will recommend this company to all my friends and colleagues. Super pleased with our experience with this company!!!

Easy to book and great crew. Our original chartered vessel had been sold, but MYC worked quickly to get us a similar vessel and within 24 hours of notifying us we had already booked a different vessel.
We had Tony and Bryan for a 4 hour cruise on the 53' Azimut. We were celebrating a bachelorette with 11 people on the boat and had plenty of room! Even though it rained for about an hour we had a great time in the main cabin and we were still able to swim.

15 of my best friends rented the 62 ft power cat for my bachelor party and let me tell you, you will not be disappointed. Great captain and first mate, great vessel, the sound system was phenomenal, and the entire tour was just a blast with everyone! Nothing like jet skis and underwater divers in the back bays!

If you are going to Miami, you need to rent a boat/yacht and this company does it right!

Terrible company. Stole my deposit. Reserved a yacht and placed a 50% deposit. Had a bad weather day and couldn't reschedule due to the duration of my time in Miami. Staff was arrogant and refused to return my deposit. Don't use these people.

We planned a girls trip/bachelorette party in Miami for Memorial Day Weekend and read glowing reviews about this yachting company. From the day we booked all the way up until the day before our yacht adventure, the customer service was 10/10. Very organized, communicative, and professional. On the day of our yacht booking, we were greeted by Jenny and our captain Alessandro. Had the BEST time and we enjoyed ourselves so much. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. If I could give 100+ stars I would. Jenny & Alessandro, thank you for treating us like queens

Great experience!!

I did a bunch of research when choosing a yacht to charter for my sister's bachelorette in Miami before ultimately choosing to go with Miami Yachting company. It was a great decision! Not only does the business have an actual physical address (unlike many of the places I looked at), but every interaction and part of the experience was handled extremely professionally. They had a modern online booking system, and I was able to reach a human over the phone with questions/changes to our booking leading up to it. Billing was clear and straightforward from the get go; I paid the up front deposit and was billed the day of the ride for the remaining amount. We ended up going with the 50' Sea Ray Yacht which was perfect for 11 of us girls.

The day of the ride, Victoria, our crew person met us promptly at the meeting spot and she was fantastic throughout our ride; friendly, professional and took care of our every need. Initially when I booked I didn't see the value of the additional crew person but having her on board was invaluable; she put away and served all the food and drinks we brought on board, cleaning and making sure everyone had the drinks they needed, meaning none of the girls had to play hostess on board. Our captain Chris was also fantastic, super chill and friendly. Both he and Victoria helped us feel safe and well cared for throughout the 4 hours we had the boat charted.

We loved our time on the boat, it was immaculately clean and we felt like Miami royalty cruising around on the waves. The sandbar was closed due to an upcoming boat event, so after we cruised around star island and up the Miami river looking for manatees, they took us to Monument Island where some other party boats were anchored and we got to swim and inflate our swan floatie (I don't believe there was one included in the ride, but maybe they just didn't bring it out because we brought our own?) Either way, the charter was the highlight of the bachelorette according to all the girls. I can't wait to go back and book another boat with them, A+ experience!!

Nicole L. won the Yelp Yachting give away that was raffled away during Yelp's Culinary Carnival event, and I was very thankful Nicole brought me along!

We met up at Pier C at 300 Alton Road, and found Carlos G, who led us to the stealthy looking 75ft yacht a couple of slips from the end of the Pier.

After a short coast guard briefing presented by Gabe, we met the rest of the crew including Captain Bryant and Liza, who were eager to assist us getting comfortable on board. Nicole and I introduced ourselves to the other Yelp winners and their guests as the yacht pulled smoothly out of the slip and got underway on our 2 hour excursion.

I learned from Captain Bryant that the vessel was an Italian made yacht built in 2000, but it was so well kept that it looked brand new. I inquired whether charters were being done to Cuba, to which he responded that the laws are changing and it could be a possibility very soon. We took a look at the rooms beneath deck briefly and discovered a full kitchen, dining room and two comfortable bedrooms. Above deck, in the air conditioned captains quarters, trays of delicious ham and roast beef sandwiches with olive tapenade, cheese and meat plates, sweet French macarons, and choices of beer from Wynwood Brewery / Cigar City, red / white wines were treating our tastebuds.

We cruised through Governments cut and Fishermans Channel past Dodge Island and entered the Miami South Channel, and then passed under the Rickenbacker bridge. Past the Rickenbacker bridge we picked up speed in hopes of attracting Dolphin, which are attracted to the wake of large yachts. At this point Nicole and I were on the bow and the breeze was fantastic! Every so often a wave would crest sending delightful sea spray over the bow and all over us, but quickly dried off in the breeze. We made it to the southern tip of Key Biscayne and turned around. Returning North under Port Boulevard and then the Macarthur Causeway we followed along the Venetian causeway. The sun was setting which made way to a plethora breathtaking cloud / sky pictures.

Gabe gave us a wonderful tour of the mansions on Star Island which included some very famous names: Frank Sinatra, Gloria Estefan, Angelina Jolie, Dr Frost, Elisabeth Taylor, Heidi Klum, Enrique Iglesias, Sean Combs, Naomi Campbell, just to name a few. I wondered who handles security because a short swim gains you entry on these fantastic mansions which start at $6M a piece.

Alas the tour ended and no one wanted to leave. Two hours went by much too quickly! We had a great time and give Miami Yachting a huge thanks for a fantastic time!

Today I had an amazing yachting experience. Thanks to Yelp and Cassie for coordinating this beautiful yacht party. Sad you weren't there to share with us, but Carlos made sure we had a great time, and of course we did.
I must say Gabriel and his team were very attentive and they were great hosts. They made sure everyone was having a great time. Customer service was beyond expected. I went on a 2 hour sunset cruise, they took us near downtown Miami and took us around Star Island. We were able to see the gorgeous sunset as well.

I found the MYC on Yelp and I am so glad I did! I was planning my sister's Bachelorette and going on a yacht is a must when you're in Miami! That said, I booked a 55' yacht with Gabe over the phone.

We spent four hours out on the water and about an hour on a private island where we took advantage of the time to swim and use our foam island. Our captain was very nice and our crew member delivered impeccable service - she kept our food restocked and a drink always in our hand. She also was super patient and took pictures for us all! Thank you MYC for a great afternoon and for your top notch customer service.

Great experience "yachting" for the first time! The booking was easy and emailed directions were great but I still had a hard time finding the steward the day of so we got off to a late start. Two hours on Miami boat is too short. Three would have been perfect. The boat staff was excellent and courteous taking our pics and serving drinks and food to the guests. Everyone of us 7 girls loved it! Would totally do this again next time I'm in town!
