Anyone ever rent a Yatch?

I have, twice, and I do not recomend it. Lot of money... not really that much fun. Better would be a hotel that has a boat that they will take you on.

Also, no real world class yatch owner will EVER let you and the ms. go out on your own unless you have your Capt. License from the USCG; and likely not even then.

 

It varries VASTLY with the boat.

I have seen from $1000 to $10000 a day!!

Where wil you be staying?

 

Tom:

I rented a cigarette boat (scarab, whatever), 600 hp., for 1/2 day for $400 with a captain. I just wanted to go fast for a while and I did.

Some of the people on this website have some pretty big boats -- they can probably tell you what to expect.

 

I would contact the hotel and ask them. I am sure they get that alot.

Sadly no, I do not so much down there. But I have been to Key West a few times!!!

Here is the view from the Penthouse. The place was pretty cool, we stayed there about a yr ago. Service was so so...........

 

A racing boat. Like what they drove in Miami Vice!!!

hmmm... I could tell you if I'd rented a Yatch, and how much it was if you could please just provide an accurate description of a "Yatch".

Are you sure you aren't talking about a sWatch? Or a Match? Or a Patch?

Porsche Design makes watches, maybe Yugo does too and that is what a "Yatch" is. Please tell me as I am very interested!

Tom,

It's a good suggestion to contact the hotel, but I will caution you that normally if you ask the hotel to book it (they will want to) my experience is they will charge a lot more then if you take care of it yourself. The doc gave you one link...

Here is another

Good luck

Grab a copy of either "Yachting" or "Motorboating and Sailing" magazine on any news stand. The back 1/3 of these are always loaded with ads for charters.

Have fun!

Tom,

These guys have a great reputation.........http://www.miamiboat.com They are super nice and will handle any questions you have.

Consider doing a run over to bimini for the night and back the next day. about 2.5 hr trip from FL, a couple of really cool laid back bars, and lots of desolate beaches to roam.


ps. I'll run you over if you supply rent the boat, (really cheap)

GOOD LUCK, you guys will have a blast what ever you decide.

John
