Stage 1 · The day
Group, dates and what you want from it.
Four ways to charter, all crewed and all under a written agreement.
Most first charters are a half day, and most people underestimate how much the cruising area matters. We ask what you actually want — a sandbar, snorkelling, a quiet sunset — and match a vessel whose draft and speed suit that, rather than whatever is free.
Group, dates and what you want from it.
Matched to capacity, draft and area.
Written, with the weather policy in it.
Briefed, and away on time.
Built with the captain, with alternatives.
Fuel, marinas and provisioning.
Terms, deposit and cancellation.
Adjusted as conditions require.
Term charters need real planning: fuel, provisioning, marina reservations and a route with alternatives when the forecast moves. We build the itinerary with the captain rather than selling you a brochure route the vessel cannot comfortably make.
Nobody wants to start a charter at a supermarket. Tell us what the group eats and drinks, including allergies and anyone not drinking, and it is aboard and stowed before you step on. Alcohol is provided in line with the charter agreement and Florida law.
Food, drink and dietary needs.
Placed in advance, not on the day.
Stowed and chilled before boarding.
By the crew, throughout.
What it is and who is coming.
Parking, boarding, timings.
A backup date agreed up front.
Coordinated so you do not have to.
Celebrations on the water work when somebody has thought about parking, boarding times, who is bringing what, and what happens if the weather turns. We handle that and give you a realistic plan, including the alternative date agreed in advance.
Tell us the group and the day. Free to enquire, with an honest view on what is realistic.
