Miami to Fort Lauderdale Yacht Transfer

The Miami to Fort Lauderdale yacht transfer is a niche but useful charter. Three to four hours of cruise time between two of the great South Florida boating cities, with the option to stop at Hollywood Beach for lunch or anchor off Las Olas for an afternoon swim. The practical case: you fly into Miami International, spend a couple of nights in South Beach, and have a Friday night dinner reservation in Las Olas. Instead of an Uber up I-95 in traffic you cruise the coastline at 18 knots with a captain and crew. Your luggage rides with you. Champagne service is on. The captain drops you at Bahia Mar Yachting Center and you walk to your hotel. The scenic case: this is the prettiest single charter on our calendar that does not involve open water. You see the Bal Harbour high-rises, the Sunny Isles condo skyline, the Hollywood beachfront, the entrance to Port Everglades, and the Las Olas canal system in one afternoon. Pair it with the photographer add-on and you have a curated visual record of the entire Gold Coast. One-way charters quote slightly higher than a standard half-day because the captain returns the vessel solo. Roughly 1.4x the standard 4-hour rate. We confirm pricing on the quote and coordinate marina dockage at both ends.
