Yacht charter Palm Beach
Palm Beach is the quiet one. Forty minutes north of Fort Lauderdale the water gets clearer, the crowds thin out and the charter day slows down: Peanut Island and its sandbar, the Intracoastal past the estates of Palm Beach island, and the Lake Worth Inlet straight out to the Gulf Stream, which runs closer to shore here than anywhere else in Florida.
Every rate on this page is the rate we hold. We publish day charter prices for the Palm Beach and Jupiter boats we work with, from €1,710 a day up to €10,488 for the largest, and weekly rates for the crewed yachts that spend the winter here between Bahamas trips. If a boat is not listed here we can usually still get it: message us with the dates and we come back with what is free.
The boats that base here tend to go north for the summer, to the Hamptons and New England, so the Palm Beach season is the winter. From December to April the marinas at Rybovich, Palm Harbor and Sailfish are full, and booking ahead for holiday weeks matters.

Where you actually go
The swim stop. A small island at the mouth of the Lake Worth Inlet with a snorkel lagoon and a sandbar that fills up on weekends. Clear water on the incoming tide, and fifteen minutes from most of the marinas.
Worth Avenue from the water. A slow cruise along the island side of the lake, past the estates and the Flagler Bridge, and up toward Singer Island. Calm, flat and good with a long lunch aboard.
Half an hour north. The lighthouse, the clear inlet water and the sandbar inside, and a quieter scene than anything further south. Good for a family day.
The Stream runs only a few miles offshore here, which is why the sportfishing fleet lives in Palm Beach. West End on Grand Bahama is around sixty miles east, and the Abacos are reachable overnight on a proper yacht.
Crewed weeks: 1 yachts cruising Palm Beach
These are full week charters on the yacht's own charter terms, contracted with the yacht's own management. Palm Beach is one stop in a wider season for most of them, Caribbean in winter and Florida or New England in summer, so a week can start here and finish somewhere else entirely.

How much does a yacht charter in Palm Beach cost?+
Day charters in our Palm Beach fleet run from €1,710 to €10,488 for the boat, crewed, for the day. Crewed weekly yachts that winter here start at €512,860 per week plus expenses. Every number on this page is the operator rate we hold, and the quote spells out tax, fuel and gratuity before you commit.
Do I need a licence to charter in Palm Beach?+
No. Every boat on this page comes with its own professional captain and crew. You board and the captain runs the day.
When is the best time to charter in Palm Beach?+
December to April. That is when the fleet is in town, the weather is dry and the water is at its clearest. In summer many of the larger boats move north to the Hamptons and New England, so the choice narrows; we will tell you honestly what is here.
How long is a charter day, and how many guests?+
Four, six and eight hours on most boats, plus sunset runs. In US waters most charter yachts carry up to twelve guests regardless of age; larger inspected vessels take more.
What is included in the price?+
The yacht and crew for the agreed hours. Fuel is inside the rate or quoted per trip, and the listing says which. Florida sales tax applies to the hire. Gratuity for the crew is customary at fifteen to twenty per cent. The quote shows the all in number before you pay anything.
Can you arrange a Bahamas crossing from Palm Beach?+
Yes, on a boat set up for it. West End and the Abacos are the natural targets from here. It is a long day or, better, an overnight, and we pick a boat and crew that do the crossing regularly.
