"Booked Bellatrix for my sister's bachelorette and Captain Marco read the group within ten minutes — playlist on, floats out at the sandbar, photos at Stiltsville on the way back. Glassy water the whole afternoon."

"Anniversary sunset cruise on Athena. Quiet, just the two of us with Captain James. Champagne, the skyline lighting up, and a ring-box delivery I'd coordinated weeks ahead. Handled like it was effortless."

"Hosted 18 partners on Constellation for a Friday closing celebration. Catering, full bar, dock-to-deck timing within five minutes. We've already booked Polaris for next year's offsite."

Before you book

Questions, answered honestly.

What's your cancellation policy?

Full refund up to 7 days before departure. Inside 7 days, we hold your deposit as credit for any other date in the next 12 months. Weather cancellations (called by the captain) are always fully refundable or rebookable, your choice.

Can we bring our own food and drinks?

Absolutely. Most groups bring their own catering and a cooler of drinks — we provide the ice and the cooler. We can also coordinate provisioning through our concierge: charcuterie, sushi platters, full chef service. Bar packages start at $24 per guest.

What if someone in our group gets seasick?

Biscayne Bay is unusually flat — we rarely see chop above two feet inside the bay. For Stiltsville, Key Biscayne, or open-water runs, we recommend Bonine taken an hour before departure. We keep some on board, but your own works best. If you're truly prone to motion sickness, we'll steer the day toward the calmer routes.

Is captain gratuity expected?

Customary, not required. Industry standard is 15–20% of the charter rate, paid directly to the captain at the end of the trip. Cash, Venmo, or added to the final invoice — all fine. If service didn't earn it, don't leave it. We'd rather hear about it.

What happens if weather cancels the charter?

The captain has final authority on weather. If we call it, you get a full refund or rebook to any open date — no fees, no questions. If you cancel for weather and the captain says we can sail safely, standard cancellation policy applies. We err on the side of caution: 100% safety record since 2017.

Where do you depart from, and is there parking?

All charters depart from Bayside Marketplace Marina, 401 Biscayne Blvd. Bayside parking garage is directly across the street ($15 flat for the day, validate at our slip). Larger yachts (Constellation, Polaris) board from Slip 14; Athena and Bellatrix from Slips 8 and 11. Address details and dock map are sent with your confirmation.

Live availability

Check the calendar. Pick a date.

Most weekends book three to four weeks out. Last-minute weekday charters often available — Tuesday and Thursday sunset cruises are the best-kept secret on the bay.
