First class yachting,
booked at the source.
Elite Rentals Caribbean is meant to be the only yacht number you keep. Miami this weekend, the Exumas in spring, a week through the Virgin Islands after that, the Hamptons in August: you message the same people, and available options come back to you. We work directly with the owners and managers who run the yachts, so what you are sent is genuinely free on your dates, and the same person stays with you from the first message to the moment you step aboard.
Most yacht listings you find online have been passed along several times before they reach you, and every hand they pass through adds cost and delay. We keep it short: when you ask about a yacht on this site, we go straight to the team that runs it, and you deal with one person here from the first message to the moment you step aboard.
The fleet you see here is curated, not aggregated. Every vessel is a proper yacht, from open day boats of ten metres and up out of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, to crewed superyachts running the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands on full MYBA weekly terms. No tour boats, no RIB hire, no "couple of hours on a runabout." If it's listed, it meets the standard.
The ERE standard
You do not go looking for a new local company each time. One saved number covers Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, St Barths and the Hamptons, with the same people and the same process behind it.
Rates live on every listing where the operator publishes them: seasonal day rates, MYBA weekly rates, taxes and APA stated upfront.
Proper day yachts from ~10 metres; crewed weekly charters to 50m+. If a boat wouldn't impress you at the quay, it isn't here.
The people behind the charters
Every enquiry is handled personally by this team, the same people who negotiate directly with the fleets answer your WhatsApp.
How a charter with us works
1 · Tell us the brief. Destination, dates, party size, the mood. One WhatsApp message or email is enough. If you've seen the yacht on this site, name it; if not, we'll shortlist.
2 · We confirm at the source. We verify availability and terms directly with the fleet, same day in season, and come back with a firm, all-in picture: rate, taxes, fuel or APA, extras.
3 · Contract and step aboard. Day charters confirm on the operator's terms; weekly charters run on the MYBA agreement with standard deposit and APA handling. From there, your only job is the packing.
Every enquiry lands with Berend Stolk, our Charter Manager, and the consultants above. No call centre and no ticket queue. Send your brief and you hear back from the same people who deal with the fleets every day.
Straight answers, before you ask
Chartering comes with fair questions about money and terms. We answer them plainly on one page instead of making you dig.
Where we operate
Miami, Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay, Fort Lauderdale and the Intracoastal, West Palm Beach and Jupiter, the Florida Keys, and across the Gulf Stream to Bimini, Nassau, the Exumas and the Abacos. On the weekly side, the Virgin Islands, St Barths, St Martin, Antigua and the Leeward Islands in winter, and the Hamptons, Montauk, Newport and the New England coast in summer. For the Mediterranean, our sister site Elite Rentals Europe runs the same process with the same team.
