Of Coarse! In fact the Private Chef experience is one of our most popular requests on boats 50 feet and up. We work with a number of world class chefs from the Miami area who will provide you with a culinary delight that you will not forget. A chef typically requires a full-size kitchen which is found on boats over 48 feet. If the boat you wish to charter has a small-sized kitchen, ordering from a caterer will be your best bet.

The price for a private starts at $550 plus the cost of provisioning your food and beverages. Check out our Foodie Charters page for more info or contact a Day Charter specialist to explore this option.

Miami has plenty of restaurants accessible from the water, however, access may be restricted due to limited dockage space and size of vessel that can be accommodated. We highly recommend making reservations and requesting dock space in advance if possible. However, most docks at these restaurants cannot be reserved in advance and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Avoid going out on the open ocean during windy weather conditions. You can request to stay on the Intracoastal waterways which is calm in almost any weather condition. You can also get an effective motion sickness bracelet or take motion sickness pills.

We usually board passengers at Miami Beach Marina, Sea isles Marina and Fontainebleau Marina. It is possible to arrange pick ups at other Marinas or private homes for an extra fee.

Usually, Day charter boats accept small pets. Large pets may not be permitted.
Speak with a charter specialist to confirm with the boat owner or recommend a boat where pets are allowed.
