Boat, timing, and the car
We confirm the yacht, the departure point, and the timing before anything is booked.
Walking the docks is one way to spend that week. The other is to be on the water. A private charter turns the show from something you queue for into something you move through at your own pace. You can see the bay the way the boats on display are meant to be used, host clients or friends somewhere quieter than a crowded pier, and end a long day on the show floor with a sunset run instead of a taxi line.
We keep a fleet of eighteen crewed yachts in Miami, from a 45-foot Galeon built for easy days on Biscayne Bay to a 166-foot Trinity with seven en-suite cabins. This page is about how to use one of them well during show week: who it suits, how to plan around the show hours, which boats fit which kind of day, and what we confirm before anything is booked.
Why charter during show week
The show is built for looking. A charter is built for using. Many of the people who come to Miami in February are deciding what kind of boat they want, and a full day aboard a crewed yacht tells you more about layout, deck space and ride than an hour of stepping on and off display models. You feel how a flybridge works with ten people on it, how a beach club transom changes a swim stop, and whether a jacuzzi on the aft deck is something you would actually use.
It is also an easy place to host during a week when the city is full of show visitors. A yacht gives you a private room with a view of the city: somewhere to sit down with a client after the show, bring a team together for an afternoon, or celebrate a deal away from the noise. The captain and crew handle the boat, so the people you invite get your attention rather than the logistics.
And for anyone in town who is not there for the show at all, a day on Biscayne Bay is a calm counterweight to a crowded week. You get the city from the water, with none of the queues.
Planning the day around the show hours
The show opens on Wednesday, February 10, from 12pm to 7pm. Thursday through Saturday it runs from 10am to 7pm, and Sunday, February 14, it closes earlier at 5pm. Those hours shape a charter more than anything else, so we plan around them first.
The simplest pattern is a morning or midday charter on a day you are not committed to the venues, then the show in the afternoon or the following day. Another is the reverse: a full morning on the floor, then an evening departure once the halls close, with dinner and the skyline from the water. Sunday works well for a longer day out if you have seen what you came to see by Saturday.
Many of our Miami listings note that departure and return times are flexible and set around the charter length you choose. We agree the timing with the boat before we confirm anything, so the day fits your schedule rather than the other way around. If your group is split between people attending the show and people who are not, we can plan a pickup time that brings everyone together once the show day is done.
Getting around matters that week. The venues are spread out and the city is busy, so we can also arrange an SUV with a private driver from our Miami transport fleet, including a Cadillac Escalade, a Lincoln Navigator, a Chevy Suburban and a Ford Expedition, to move your group between the hotel, the show and the boat.
Matching the yacht to the kind of day
Every yacht in our Miami fleet is listed for up to thirteen guests, so the choice is less about headcount and more about what you want the day to feel like.
For hosting and entertaining, the larger motor yachts carry the most room to spread out. The 125 Azimut Grande is a 2025 flagship with five en-suite cabins, an onboard gym, a sea-level beach club lounge and alfresco dining. The 90 Pershing has three red leather sundecks, three separate dining areas and a full galley suited to a private-chef charter. The 100 Dominator adds a main-deck jacuzzi, a full-beam flybridge and a full-size kitchen.
For a day on the water with swimming and toys, the 105 Leopard comes with an inflatable slide, an aft-deck jacuzzi, a jet ski, seabobs, an eight-person floating island and a floating dock. The 105 Azimut includes two jet skis, three seabobs and a floating lounge in its charter structure. The 94 Azimut S10 carries four seabobs and two jet skis, and departs from Coral Gables rather than Miami Beach.
For a smaller, easier outing, the 60 Azimut, 65 Azimut and 68 Galeon each have three staterooms and a flybridge, with fuel and crew included. The 74 Princess, hand-built in Plymouth, England, has a full-size jacuzzi on the aft deck and a deep-V hull for offshore chop. The Galeon 45 and Sea Ray 48 are the relaxed Biscayne Bay day boats in the fleet.
And for a group that wants the largest yacht we charter in Miami, the 166 Trinity has a 33-foot beam, seven en-suite cabins, a jacuzzi deck, a jet tender, jet skis, seabobs, kayaks, paddleboards and a licensed crew of seven, with a massage table and masseuse aboard.
Booking early, and what we confirm first
With more than 100,000 visitors in town for the show, our advice is to start the conversation early, ideally as soon as your travel dates are set. Early planning gives you a real choice of yacht, rather than whatever is left when the week arrives.
Before anything is booked, our concierge confirms the details that actually decide a good charter: the specific yacht and its departure point, the charter length and timing against your show schedule, the guest count, which water toys are included and which are on request, and the cancellation and deposit terms for that boat. Several of our listings describe toys and extras as available on request, so we confirm them in writing rather than assume.
If you are also staying in Miami, we can pair the charter with one of our private villas so the week runs through one team. Tell us who is coming, which days you plan to spend at the show and what the time on the water is for, and we will come back with a short list of boats that fit.

Frequently asked
When is the Miami International Boat Show in 2027?
The Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show runs from Wednesday, February 10 to Sunday, February 14, 2027. Hours are 12pm to 7pm on Wednesday, 10am to 7pm Thursday through Saturday, and 10am to 5pm on Sunday.
Where is the show held?
Across six venues: the Miami Beach Convention Center, Pride Park, Herald Plaza, Venetian Marina, Museum Park Marina, and SuperYacht Miami at IGY Yacht Haven Grande Miami. Because the venues are spread out, many visitors plan their days venue by venue.
Why charter a yacht during show week instead of only visiting the show?
A charter lets you spend a full day aboard a crewed yacht, which tells you far more about how a boat lives than stepping on and off display models. It also gives you a private place to host clients, friends or a team during a week when the city is full.
How many guests can the yachts take?
Every yacht in our Miami fleet is listed for up to thirteen guests. The larger yachts give those guests more deck space, more lounges and more cabins, so the right choice depends on how you want to use the day.
Can we plan the charter around our show schedule?
Yes. Many of our Miami listings note flexible departure and return times set around the charter length. We agree the timing with the boat before confirming, whether you want a morning on the water before the show or an evening departure after the halls close.
Are water toys included?
It depends on the yacht. Some include them in the charter, such as the jet skis and seabobs on the 105 Azimut and the slide, jet ski and floating island on the 105 Leopard. On others, toys are listed as available on request. We confirm exactly what comes with your boat in writing.
How far ahead should we book for show week?
As early as you can. The show draws more than 100,000 visitors to Miami, so starting the conversation once your travel dates are set gives you a real choice of yacht.
Where do the yachts depart from?
It varies by yacht. Several of our listings depart from Miami Beach Marina, and the 94 Azimut S10 departs from Coral Gables. We confirm the departure point for your specific boat and can arrange an SUV with a private driver to get your group there.
Can we combine a charter with a villa stay in Miami?
Yes. We list private villas in Miami alongside the yacht fleet, so a stay and a charter can be planned together by the same concierge team for the whole week.
