It is a charming dream; cruising through beautiful tropical waters, stopping for swimming, snorkeling and fishing, while enjoying excellent food prepared and presented by others. It may sound like a fantasy, but can become reality on a Florida yacht. Whether a yacht is chartered or purchased, the trip lasting half a day or over a week, the passengers are sure to have a memorable experience.

Due to its popularity as a vacation destination and for its beautiful ocean waters, Florida is one of the top states for yacht charters and yacht sales. South Florida is only a three hour boat trip away from the Bahamas, so Miami yacht rental is popular. One of the best ways to find perfect Florida yacht charters is to search available boats and travel packages online. There are three basic types of Florida yacht charters available from most companies: corporate events and dinner cruises, term charters and half or full day Florida yacht charters.

To accommodate large dinner parties or corporate events numbering over 12 people, a party vessel must be chartered. The US Coast Guard certification determines how many people are legally allowed on a given vessel. The number of people attending a yacht party will dictate the vessels that can be used for the event. Party vessels can allow up to 400 passengers. Florida yacht charters of party vessels can include a minimum food and beverage service. Approximately 1/2-2/3 of a yachts passenger capacity can be seated for dinner at a time. Food and beverage service adds to the overall experience of luxury and pampering for the guests. If the people hiring Florida yacht charters want specialized entertainment, magicians, a floating casino, live bands or DJs; it can be arranged.

Term Florida yacht charters allow for longer periods of time traveling by yacht. The minimum requirement is for one week to 10 days aboard the yacht. Usually term Florida yacht charters allow six to eight passengers staying in three to four staterooms. A few large yachts can handle 10 to 12 guests.

Possible water toys included in term Florida yacht charters are: snorkeling gear, scuba diving equipment, sea kayaks, wave runners and jet boats. The longer a yacht is chartered for, the longer distances can be traveled. It is even possible to travel to the Bahamas on Florida yacht charters as long as passengers have the paperwork necessary to cross into another country's territory. These South Florida yacht charters are usually taken from Miami, considering the relative closeness of the Bahamas to this popular city. Miami yacht rentals are a way to visit two popular travel destinations within the same vacation.

For people with less time or less expendable income, Florida yacht charters are available by the day or half-day on non-certified yachts. These sport yachts and private yachts allow six or 12 passengers. There is an extra discount for chartering a yacht in the morning. If friends and family want to pitch in and charter the yacht together it can be quite affordable. The more money the group is willing to spend, the more amenities can be included. Sport fishing vessels are available for avid fishermen. Water sports such as swimming and snorkeling are also available, but time is limited according to how long the yacht was chartered for.

If purchasing a yacht is desired, companies that deal in Florida yacht sales can be found online. Some companies involved in yacht sales do not list prices online. It is necessary to speak with a sales representative personally to get a quote from these companies. Other yacht dealers list boats that cost as much as some houses; a yacht is a serious investment. Anyone purchasing a yacht will want to be sure they know how to navigate and operate the yacht properly and that they have insurance.

Florida yacht charters and sales allow passengers the freedom to travel and visit locations according to their own desires, without the restricted schedule of a cruise ship. Corporate or large group events, long term charters, and full or half-day cruises can all be accommodated by Florida yacht charters. Special entertainment, water sports, fishing and swimming can all be enjoyed while on Florida yacht charters. Florida yacht charters can actually make some dreams come true.
