Without a doubt, one of the best times to rent a yacht in Miami is during the Christmas holiday. Escape the cold, snowy weather and head down to Miami for beautiful sunshine!

Many groups of friends and families will travel to Miami when they have some time off from work and school. Renting a yacht is a perfect way to get the entire group together for a beautiful day on the water.

If you’re planning a Miami boat day around Christmas, be sure to plan ahead. Things get very busy, and it’s best to book well in advance to make sure you get the boat you want on the date you want.

At Miami Blue Yacht Rental, we have yachts available every day of the week during spring break. Whether you’re a young family or a party crowd, we have boats and yachts that will meet your needs.

Art Basel Miami

Art Basel is without a doubt one of the best times to visit Miami, and December is one of the best months to go to Miami. Some of the wealthiest and most famous people in the world can be spotted walking the streets of Miami during Art Basel. It’s also probably the best time to go to Miami for partying. Art Basel occurs during the first week of December. If you want to brush shoulders with the rich and famous, then renting a yacht during Art Basel is a great way to do it. There is a good chance you’ll see celebrities out on the water if you rent a yacht during Art Basel.

Martin Luther King Weekend

Another one of the best times to visit Miami is during Martin Luther King Weekend. Many people living up North take this long weekend as a change to get away and escape the cold. Miami is an extremely popular destination for people from the Northeast to come down and get some sunshine. Take advantage of the extra day off from work and make to Miami. With the extra day you will have time to rent a yacht, go clubbing, and eat amazing food without feeling rushed at all.

President’s Day Weekend

For many people, the best time to go to Miami is President’s Day weekend. Not everyone gets President’s Day off anymore. So, if you are lucky enough to have this day off, it’s a great way to take advantage of the long weekend without dealing with crazy crowds. Also, the prices won’t be as bad during President’s Day weekend because of the reduced demand.

Also, the weather is typically perfect this time of year in Miami. It’s still warm enough to rent a yacht or go for a swim, but it’s also not too hot during the peak hours of the day.

4th of July Weekend

One of the best times to go to Miami for a boat party is 4^th of July weekend. This is a great time to rent a yacht in Miami for a few key reasons. The first is that 4^th of July weekend is outside of the typical busy tourist season in Miami. Flights to Miami will be cheaper along with hotel and Airbnb prices. 4^th of July is also a great time to enjoy Miami with the locals. Many locals do far more of their boating during the summer months when the temperatures rise. If you want to do something outside during the peak Miami summer, you need to be close to a body of water. Renting a yacht in Miami for 4^th of July weekend will allow you to party with the locals in a unique way that not many tourists get to experience. Not to mention, if you extend your Miami boat rental into the evening, you can catch an amazing firework show from the water!
