Sandbar Party — FAQ
How much does a sandbar party charter cost?
Sandbar Party charters start from $479 for suitable vessels. Pricing depends on the yacht size, duration (4-6 hours), and any add-ons. Captain, fuel, and crew are always included.
How many guests can attend a sandbar party?
Our sandbar party charters accommodate 4 to 13 guests depending on the vessel. For larger groups, we can coordinate multi-yacht experiences.
How far in advance should I book a sandbar party charter?
We recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak months (March, April, May). Last-minute bookings are possible based on availability.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Absolutely. You're welcome to bring your own food, drinks, and decorations. We also offer catering coordination with top Miami restaurants if you prefer a hands-off experience.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. If weather conditions are unsafe, we'll work with you to reschedule at no additional cost. Light rain doesn't usually stop a charter — your captain makes the call based on conditions.

The most affordable option is a sport boat (26-37 ft) for 4-6 hours starting from $479. Split between 4-8 guests, this works out to roughly $60-$120 per person. You can bring your own food and drinks (BYOB) to keep costs down.
Is there a deposit required for a sandbar party charter?
Yes. A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your date and vessel. The remaining balance is due on the day of the charter. We accept all major credit cards. See our Terms of Service for full payment and cancellation details.
Are there hidden fees for a sandbar party?
No hidden fees. Our quoted price includes the vessel, USCG-licensed captain, fuel for the entire charter, and standard crew. Optional add-ons (catering, DJ, decorations, photographer) are quoted separately and only charged if you opt in. Gratuity for your captain and crew is customary but not included (industry standard 15-20%).
