Boat rental vs. yacht charter: what's the difference?
In Miami, "boat rental" usually means a smaller boat for a few hours, and "yacht charter" means a larger yacht with a crew. With OREA Miami the line is simpler: every booking is private and crewed, and the price is all-inclusive whatever the size. Our Day yachts are the closest thing to a classic boat rental: compact, quick to the sandbar and easy for small groups, but with a captain, a crew and the comfort of a real yacht, including shade, seating and a swim platform.
If you're comparing with self-drive boat rentals, remember what's usually added on top there: fuel, a deposit for damage, the time it takes to learn the boat, and the stress of docking in a busy marina. With us, the price covers the captain, the crew, the fuel, the gratuity and the taxes, and you spend the whole time enjoying the water.
Which boat is right for you?
- For speed and style:the VanDutch 40 (up to 8 guests) or the Azimut Verve 42, both from North Miami.
- For the best value:the Azimut Atlantis 45, from $2,300 for 4 hours, close to the Haulover Sandbar.
- For a cruise through the city:the Galeon 45 "Kira" or Prestige 45 "Amani", down the Miami River and into the bay.
- For space and stability:the Fountaine Pajot 50 Sailing Catamaran, with a wide deck and easy swimming.
- For a calmer day in the south bay:the De Antonio 42 from Coconut Grove.
