Get One Number Before You Ask for Approval
Surprise charges are the most common complaint about yacht charters in South Florida. Fuel, staff, and gratuity often show up after the trip. That's a headache for anyone filing an expense report.
We do it the other way. Starting prices don't include fuel, staff, or gratuity, and we tell you that up front. Then we walk you through the full cost before you book. You get a number you can put in front of finance.
We take credit cards, debit cards, mobile pay, and ACH bank payments, so a company card or a bank transfer both work.
A few planning notes from our side:
- Client meeting or leadership team? The 42-foot Santasevera has 2 staterooms and room for 12. It's the quieter, more polished pick.
- Team outing up to 18? The 26-foot Event and Party Boat handles day and sunset trips.
- Whole office? The 55-foot catamaran holds up to 49 guests.
- Evening event for a big group? Tell us your start time, and we'll confirm which boats fit.
With a large group, ask about restrooms when you pick your boat. The smaller boats on this list have 1 bathroom each.
Get One Quote You Can Submit
Ask us for one quote with the boat, fuel, staff, and gratuity in it. That's the number to submit. For the questions to ask any charter company about cost, see our guide on how much it costs to rent a yacht for a day. For event ideas, see the corporate section of our private yacht event venue page.
Holiday Party Timing
Boca Raton's city holiday boat parade hasn't run since it was canceled in 2023, as Boca Post reported in December 2025. That leaves December evenings on the water open for your own celebration.
Timing matters in December. The sun sets around 5:30 PM, the earliest of the year. For an after-work event, a start around 4:30 PM catches the sunset and still gets people home at a decent hour. We run until 11:00 PM, so later events work too. Daytime works as well. A December trip that starts around 1:00 PM catches the warmest part of the day and ends before the early sunset.
What Your Team Needs to Know
Send a short note to your guests before the trip. It saves a lot of questions on the dock.
- Where to go. Waterstone Resort & Marina, 999 East Camino Real. Plan time to park.
- What to wear. Boat-friendly shoes and a light layer for the ride back.
- What to bring. Sunscreen and sunglasses. Ask us about food and drinks.
- Swimming. If there's a swim stop, pack a swimsuit and towel.
- Weather. We make the call about 2 hours before boarding.
- Headcount. Each boat has a firm guest limit, so confirm your final list before the day.
