A mega yacht rental in Miami (80 ft and up) costs from about $3,000 for 4 hours on the smaller end, to $25,000 or more for a full day on a large superyacht, and $40,000 to $139,000 a week for crewed yachts of 88 to 140 ft, based on four 2026 price lists. Even a 165 ft yacht usually takes 13 guests at most on a day charter, unless it holds a Coast Guard certificate for more.

Source: YATR luxury yachts. YATR says larger yachts (80 ft+) include a private chef and extra deck crew, and superyachts may carry 4 to 8+ crew.

The 13-guest limit still applies

Size does not raise the passenger limit. The U.S. Coast Guard requires a Certificate of Inspection for any vessel carrying more than six passengers for hire, and limits bareboat charters to 12 passengers plus the charterer (U.S. Coast Guard). Miami Yachting Company says most superyachts take up to 13 guests, while its 100 ft Skipperliner is certified for up to 140. For large events, see yachts for more than 13 guests.

Where Miami superyachts leave from

YATR lists Miami Beach Marina (South Beach), Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island, a superyacht marina it says takes yachts up to 500 ft, and Coconut Grove for trips toward Key Biscayne.

For yachts under 80 ft, see Miami yacht rental prices; for a multi-day trip across the Gulf Stream, see Miami to the Bahamas by yacht.

How to book a mega yacht well

  • Decide day or week first. Day charters suit celebrations; a week opens the Bahamas or the Keys.
  • Ask what the price includes: crew, chef, food, drinks, fuel, gratuity and tax.
  • Check the passenger certificate if you have more than 13 guests.
  • Book early for December to April, when YATR says the largest fleet is in Miami and demand peaks; summer is cheaper with more availability.
