Corporate Events & Team Building on a Boat in Miami

← All articles

Looking for a corporate event your team will actually remember? Swap the conference room for Biscayne Bay. A private boat or yacht charter in Miami Beach is one of the easiest ways to reward a team, entertain clients or celebrate a big win — with the Miami skyline as your backdrop and a licensed captain handling everything.

Why host a corporate event on a boat in Miami

• 100% private: only your team or your clients on board, no strangers and no crowded restaurant
• Easy logistics: one meeting point, one booking, and a USCG-licensed captain who plans the route
• Memorable: people forget another dinner, but they remember a day on the water in Miami
• Great for photos and content: the skyline, Star Island and turquoise sandbars make every shot look good
• Year-round: Miami’s weather makes boat outings possible in every season

Corporate boat event ideas

• Team building day at the sandbar: swim, float and play games in waist-deep water at the Haulover sandbar
• Client entertaining on a luxury yacht: impress your VIP clients with a private yacht charter and champagne on deck
• Sunset networking cruise: an easy, relaxed setting for conversations as the sun sets over Biscayne Bay
• Celebrate a milestone: a closed deal, a product launch, a record quarter or a work anniversary
• Holiday party on the water: a different kind of office party in December (see our Christmas boat cruise guide)
• Evening for conference guests: in town for a conference? Show your guests the city lights on a night boat tour

Choosing the right boat for your team

• Small teams (up to 8 guests): our Nautic Star 25ft from $200/hr (2-hour minimum), or the Sea Ray 29 from $250/hr
• Teams up to 13 guests: the Axopar 38 ($400/hr) or the Pardo 40 ($500/hr, 4-hour minimum)
• VIP clients and executives: our 74ft Sunseeker yacht, from $3,000 for 4 hours, departing from North Bay Village
• Teams of more than 13: book two or more boats and we can tie them together at the sandbar or at anchor, so your whole group stays together as one big floating party

Popular itineraries for corporate groups

• 2–3 hours: Mansions & skyline: cruise past the celebrity homes of Star Island and enjoy the downtown Miami skyline from the bay
• 3–4 hours: Sandbar & Raccoon Island: a swim at the sandbar plus a stop at Raccoon Island, Miami’s hidden island
• Evening: Sunset to city lights: board before sunset for the sunset cruise and stay for the skyline after dark

What’s included

Every corporate boat charter includes a USCG-licensed captain, fuel, water, sodas, ice, life jackets and Bluetooth speakers for your music. It’s BYOB, so you can bring your own drinks (guests 21+) and your own food or snacks for the team.

Planning tips for a corporate event on a boat

• Book early: for weekends, bigger groups or the holiday season, book 1–2 weeks ahead
• Share your headcount and goal: tell us the occasion and your captain will plan the route around it
• Dress code: smart-casual, flat non-slip shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen
• Drinks: keep it fun and responsible; alcohol is for guests 21+ only
• Meeting point: most boats depart from 2400 Collins Ave in Miami Beach, across from the 1 Hotel; the Sunseeker departs from 7910 West Dr, North Bay Village

Safety first

Your team is in good hands: every charter has a sober, USCG-licensed captain who knows Biscayne Bay, plus life jackets for every guest. Read more about our certified captains.
