First-time yacht charter guests almost always over-pack and under-prepare. This is a short, practical checklist of what to actually bring on a Miami yacht charter, what we already have on board, and the few things that are genuinely banned.

The general rule: less is more. The vessel has more storage and amenities than guests assume.

Pricing & Availability

What Affects the Price

The LIMITLESS YACHTS Experience

🧴
Reef-safe sunscreen

Mandatory if you plan to swim. We sell some at the dock if you forget.

🩴
Soft-soled shoes only

No hard heels, no street shoes that mark the deck. Bring boat shoes, sandals, or be barefoot.

👕
Layer for after sunset

Even in summer the breeze picks up after dark. A light long-sleeve makes a difference.

📱
Phone with full battery

For photos. Vessels have charging stations but battery banks are appreciated.

🩲
Swimsuit + change of clothes

You will swim. You will want dry clothes for the return cruise.

🕶️
Sunglasses with strap

The water does not give back what you drop overboard.

Not Included in Base Rate
, Hard-soled shoes (banned, marks the deck)
, Glass bottles in glass-banned zones (some vessels)
, Smoking inside the cabin (only allowed on open decks)
, Pets without prior crew approval

Pro Booking Tips

Phones and small valuables need a dry bag if you plan to ride a tender or swim with them.
