Your boat, your crew, your call

Pick the route and the vibe, then let the captain drive while you soak up the ride. Nine of you, one boat, no itinerary but your own.

What a private charter is

The most flexible of the six. Instead of picking a fixed itinerary, you tell the captain what you’re after and they build the afternoon around it — within the Intracoastal, and back before sunset.

On board, as standard

Nothing here is an add-on and nothing changes between routes. It’s the same boat whichever way you go.

A licensed captain

USCG licensed, on every trip. You’re not driving, so no boater test is needed for anyone in your group.

Cooler and ice

Bring your own drinks and food. No corkage, no restrictions on what you pack, and the ice is already aboard.

Bluetooth on board

Pair your phone and run the playlist. The captain has heard worse than whatever you’re planning.

Flat water, all the way

Intracoastal only, so no ocean swell. Good for mixed groups, easy on anyone who isn’t sure about boats.

What it costs

Priced per boat, not per head. Nine of you on one charter works out considerably cheaper each than nine separate rentals.

2 hours $350 · 3 hours $525 · 4 hours $700 · 6 hours $1,050 · 8 hours $1,500

Whole boat, up to nine guests. Split nine ways that’s about $39 each.

Private charters run within $350 to $1,500, depending on how long you’re out.
Taxes and gratuity aren’t included. Gratuity for the captain is customary but never expected.
The eight-hour Lake Boca trip adds a $100 fuel surcharge — it’s the longest run we do.

Cancelling

Cancel 48 or more hours before departure for a full refund. Inside 48 hours and no-shows are non-refundable. Weather cancellations are the captain's call and are rescheduled or refunded.

This is the pontoon policy specifically. Beach rentals work differently — those carry no rain check and no refund at all.

Organising something bigger than one boat? Group bookings can arrange multiple charters.

Before you board

Three things, and the first one is the only one people get wrong.

Arrive 15 minutes early

The captain needs that time to brief the boat and get everyone aboard. Late arrivals can lose the slot — the boat has a schedule after yours.
Sign the waiver

One per person, passengers included. No boater test — the captain is driving. Do it online before you arrive and check-in takes a minute.
Bring your own everything

Drinks, food, sunscreen, towels. The cooler and ice are on board. Cans and plastic travel better on a boat than glass does.
