Art Basel Yacht Charter in Miami
Art Basel Miami Beach runs December 4 to 6, 2026. Get off the convention floor and onto the water: private yachts with captain and crew, at our regular prices, from $1,000 for 4 hours.
Basel week on the water
For one week in December the whole art world is in Miami Beach, and the best seat in the city is on a boat. A private yacht gives your group a few hours away from the fair crowds, with the skyline, the islands and the sunset as the backdrop. Collectors use it to host clients, galleries use it to entertain, and groups of friends use it to turn an afternoon off into the best day of the trip.
We do not add an event surcharge. Art Basel week is priced like any other week: every charter is 4 hours with a licensed captain and crew included, from $1,000 on the 46' Maxum to $4,999 on the 90' Deep Blue with its jacuzzi.

Three ways to do Basel on a yacht
- Client hospitality: A corporate charter on the 65' Azimut L'chaim, 75' Ferretti or 90' Deep Blue: the aft deck for conversation, the flybridge for the view, and a dock 15 minutes from the fair.
- The sunset escape: A late-afternoon slot so the last hour runs the skyline at sunset before the night's events.
- The daytime reset: Star Island, Fisher Island and a swim at Nixon's Sandbar on the 48' Isabella or 62' Anvera, back in time for the evening openings.
