Captain and Crew FAQ

Clear answers regarding your hired professionals.
Do I get to choose my captain?
Yes! Under USCG bareboat charter guidelines, you are the charterer of the vessel, which means you have the complete freedom to select and hire your own captain. To make the process easy, we provide a list of highly qualified, pre-vetted, and USCG-licensed captains familiar with our fleet for you to choose from.

The cost of a captained boat rental in Miami can often be confusing because many companies hide the skipper’s fee until you arrive at the dock. At Aqua Boat Charters, we offer complete transparency: the Captain is already included in our price! Our private yacht charters start at just $640 for a 3-hour trip or $690 for a 4-hour half-day. This all-inclusive base price covers your USCG-licensed captain, local cruising fuel, a large floating water mat, and coolers with ice. To get an exact quote for your group, give us a call at +1 954-900-7732.

While many tourists turn to third-party apps like GetMyBoat or Anchor to find a boat with a skipper, booking directly with a dedicated local company like Aqua Boat Charters is the smartest choice. By booking direct, you avoid paying expensive middleman commission fees and guarantee a 5-star VIP experience.

We are rated as one of the best companies because we provide highly experienced, fully vetted USCG-licensed captains who know the absolute best hidden spots, sandbars, and scenic cruising routes in Miami.

Yes, as long as they hold a valid USCG Master Captain’s license and meet our specific insurance qualifications. However, most of our guests prefer selecting from our provided roster for a seamless experience, as these professionals already know the exact specifications of our yachts.

We offer a premium fleet designed specifically for luxury, comfort, and group entertainment! Unlike basic pontoon rentals, our captained charters feature stylish Cabin Cruisers (like our sleek 48FT Sea Ray) and spacious multi-level Flybridge Yachts.

These vessels come fully equipped with massive bow sun pads for tanning, shaded seating areas, clean restrooms, and premium Bluetooth sound systems. Depending on the vessel, we can comfortably accommodate groups of 10 to 13 passengers.

The biggest benefit of renting a boat with a captain is total peace of mind! Navigating Biscayne Bay, dealing with heavy maritime traffic, and safely anchoring at crowded spots like Haulover Sandbar can be incredibly stressful for an amateur boater.

With a professional USCG-licensed captain at the helm, you have zero liability and zero stress. You and your friends can simply pop the champagne, enjoy your drinks, listen to music, and soak in the breathtaking Miami skyline while a local expert handles all the hard work.
