Nobody rents a boat for no reason
There's always something: someone's turning a number, someone's getting married, someone flew in, or a Sunday just needed to be different. These are the six reasons people call.
Birthdays
It's what we do most, by a distance. Bring the cake and we keep it cold until you ask for it. Bring the balloons and they're up before you arrive. Bring the playlist — the speaker is already on board.
The moment everyone wants is the same one: cut the engine with downtown behind you and sing there. We have the timing down.
Bachelorettes
Big groups, photos all day, and a bride who shouldn't be organising anything. This is what the Chris Craft 45 goes out for: it takes up to 13, it has a bathroom with a shower, and the floating pool comes off at the sandbar.
We coordinate on WhatsApp with whoever is running the surprise, not with the bride. That detail matters more than it sounds.
Family days
With small kids and grandparents, the right boat is the Sundancer: covered, comfortable and shaded all day. We carry child-size life jackets as standard — you don't have to ask.
We stop where the water comes up to your chest, everyone gets in, and that's where half the day goes. Nobody's in a hurry.
Sunset cruise
Miami's good hour lasts about forty minutes and it reads better from the water than from any rooftop. We work backwards from sunset so you're out in the bay exactly when it happens.
It's the shortest charter and the one people repeat most. It's also the best one for a proposal, if that's the case — tell us and we'll say nothing.
Sandbar day
Waist-deep water, white sand under it, and music. We anchor, drop the floating pool in, and the boat stays there as long as you like. It's the most-booked midweek plan.
If more than one group is coming, we tie two boats together and it becomes one party.
Skyline & photos
Star Island, the big houses and the downtown line. We know which spot and which hour puts the light on the city instead of behind it, which is the difference between a photo and the photo.
If you're coming with a photographer or shooting content, say so when you book and we'll shape the route around the spots you need.
Corporate days
Client entertainment, a team afternoon, or the dinner after the quarter closes. Thirteen is the cap, and if you are forty we will say so in the first message rather than sell you three boats.
An invoice carrying whatever details your finance team needs, a firm return time, and one person to deal with.
Large groups
When the guest list outgrows one boat, all three go out together and tie up side by side at the sandbar. The floating pools go in the middle, and what you end up with is one connected deck.
Each boat keeps its own captain and its own guest limit, so the group splits across the three. One date, one enquiry, one number back.
Romantic evenings
You book the whole boat, not a seat on it. If there are two of you, there are two of you: the bow is yours, the cockpit table is yours, and the captain stays at the helm.
If you are going to propose, say so when you book. It changes which way the boat is pointing when the light goes.
Ash scattering at sea
Federal law asks for at least three nautical miles from shore, so it cannot happen inside the bay. We run out, stop the engine, and after that there is no schedule.
The captain files the notice the EPA has to receive within thirty days. It is not paperwork the family is left holding.
Have a reason that isn't on the list?
Anniversaries, graduations, a client flying in, a plain Tuesday. Tell us what it is and we'll build the day around it.
