Pricing and Info on renting a sailboat in Florida.

To rent a sailboat in Florida, prices cost around £500 for the day, while renting a sailboat in Florida for a week will average at around £4000. These prices vary however, due to the type of boat and the time of year you want to go.

Sailboat availability in Florida

Because Florida is sunny year-round, it does not follow the conventional sailing season. The peak season will typically run from December deep into February, but sailing still goes strong into May. If you’re looking to avoid the influx of tourists, then sailing in the months of April and May is perfect for you. Outside of this period, you’ll still have plenty of sunshine, but you’ll also have heavier periods of rain and humidity. Even in the low season sailing is very popular in Florida, and so you should always book far in advance.

Do I need a license to rent a sailboat in Florida?

To rent a sailboat in Florida, you do not need a license, however, if you were born on or after January 1st of 1988 you will need to obtain a Boating Safety Education Identification Card, which will require you to complete an approved Boating Safety Course. Also, if you are 18 years old or younger, you cannot rent any sort of watercraft.

If you do not have a licence or sailing experience, you can rent any of our sailboats with a skipper from our catalogue. When you rent a skippered sailboat, you can relax and enjoy your trip. The skippers help you to get to know the places you visit by boat in depth.

Rent a boat in Key West, here you will have access to some of the best island hopping and you will be able to create a unique journey.

Besides the Florida Keys, you’ll also be able to rent a boat in Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale is the perfect departure point for seeing the coast of Florida.

Recent reviews in florida.

March, 2024

We could not have asked for a better experience or captain! We had so much fun. Captain Frank went above and beyond for our family (ranging in ages from 9-70!). He helped my 70 year old father on and off the boat, made sure the kids felt safe and had fun and was a pleasure to chat with! The boat was amazing, the weather was perfect and everything was smooth from start to finish. We visited islands, shell hunted, slid off the second tier slide, fed sea birds out of our hands, saw dolphins and snorkeled. Hands down one of our best trips (and we take a boat tour every year in Florida) and we will definitely be using Captain Frank again when in the area and recommending him to our friends & family. Thank you again!

This was the highlight of our bachelorette trip! This is so worth doing with a group, the captain we chose was Jairo, and he killed it. Was so informative, knew all the best spots, great photographer and very nice. Will definitely do this again the next time we are in Miami!

50 FT SeaRay Flybridge- 1 FREE Jetski or $100 OFF!!

Had the best time on board with Captain Marcel and Marcel x2! They were super courteous,caring, and attentive. They really made the experience personalized to what we wanted and we all appreciated it! Truly could have not asked for a better experience with them. Book them!

Enjoy Miami In 50FT SUNSEEKER MANHATTAN!

Everything from the timely communication with Frank to our arrival and departure went amazingly smooth! Frank answered all my questions and our mate Roberto was very helpful when we were trying to find our way to the dock. Everyone we spoke to was friendly and helpful. The boat was clean, spacious, and the trip was relaxing .. just what my family needed! Can’t wait to use this crew again when we come back to visit!

🐬Miami Beach Fun Bayliner⛵️🌞

please do not hesitate to book with Maritza. Both her and her husband are beyond amazing. the communication is above and beyond. Let alone the experience was breathtaking. my mother and I enjoyed every minute of our rental. The scenery, the route we took, the floating mat everything was just great! The boat is a perfect size for a family, small group of friends, or couples. Her prices are unbeatable! You really cannot go wrong booking with her she was very sweet, very kind, & had effective communication. She made me feel comfortable and safe especially because this is an online purchase. Please do not hesitate to book with Maritza. both her and her husband are amazing people!!!!

If I could rate this experience higher than 5 stars I would! Frank was so amazing with setting this up for my group and stayed in constant communication with us. Our Captain Ricky T was so knowledgeable of the area and brought good vibes! We had so much fun and would definitely book again!

You do not need boat insurance when renting with Boatsetter. Coverage is provided under the Peer-to-Peer Boat Rental Policy, which is underwritten by GEICO Marine Insurance Company. The policy was written from the ground up as a stand-alone recreational boat rental insurance policy covering the period of time that the boat is being rented and is available for all non-commercially insured boats.

Does Boatsetter screen renters?

Yes. We use a system called Cognito to ensure that payment information matches the renter's identity. We also require renters taking out a captained boat to be at least 18 years old and on a bareboat to be at least 25 years old.

Is listing my boat on Boatsetter free?

Yes! Listing a boat is completely free. We only take a commission when your boat is rented. We only make money when you do!

What if I'm not comfortable having a renter drive my boat?

If you are not comfortable having a renter drive your boat, we have an expansive network of licensed and experienced captains. Once your boat is listed, you can filter through our network of captains and favorite captains in your area that you would like to operate your boat.

Great destinations for a sailboat rental in the USA

Whether you’re skimming around the quartz-tinted beaches of the Florida Gulf Coast, exploring the bayous and shrimp-filled rivers of Galveston Bay, hoisting the mainsail under the handsome lighthouses of New England, or sunning yourself in the happening harbors of Miami Beach, you’re sure to have a vacation to remember on a sailboat rental in the USA. This guide offers stacks of destination inspiration to get you started…

Sailboat rental in Florida

From coast to coast, Florida encompasses some of the most celebrated sailing destinations the country has to offer. It’s easy to see why, what with bath-warm Gulf of Mexico waters filled with dolphins, salt-washed sailing towns dotting the tropical Keys, and access to the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea north of Miami .

Miami sailboat rentals

One way to feel like you’re really in with the jet setters of Miami Beach is to rent your own sailboat for those adventures around Biscayne Bay, South Beach, and Coconut Grove. As you sun yourself on the deck of a deluxe monohull yacht here, you’ll be able to spy out the grand mansion of Gianni Versace and wonder at the neon-lit Art Deco high rises of the glitzy Magic City.

Tampa Bay has plenty of sailboat rental options

And quite right, too. This great inlet on the Gulf Coast of Florida is smack-dab in the middle of the state’s western shoreline. That means renting a sailboat is a ticket to all sorts of awesome places. Head south and you’ll catch the pelican-stalked lagoons of Marco Island. Head north and you can visit manatees between the creeks and mangroves of Tarpon Springs. And that’s just a taster.

A catamaran charter in the Florida Keys

Ah, the Florida Keys. These are Florida’s little slice of the Caribbean. Splintering off the southern tip of the Sunshine State, they are laced with mangrove forests and ringed with coral reefs that are a veritable mecca for scuba aficionados. Key West is a fine jump-off point for sailboat rentals. It’s got oodles of snorkel and dive outfitters, cute conch cottages, and big marinas filled with catamaran boats.

Sailboat rental up and down the East Coast

The 1000s of miles of stunning shoreline that make up the East Coast have been a sailing haven ever since explorer’s ships and Spanish galleons came their way in the 1500s. These days, things are more about R&R than searching for the New World, just as these enticing destination options reveal…

A sailboat rental in Newport, Rhode Island

Newport is the home of sailing in Rhode Island, and one of the sailing hubs of New England as a whole. It’s a glitzy, sleek place that’s still in touch with its fishing roots, so expect earthy chowder taverns to rub shoulders with grand mansions and yacht-filled harbors. The seafaring is nothing short of epic, with wide Narragansett Bay touting beaches and colonial towns, and whale watching on offer in the Block Island Sound that’s beyond.

Sailboat rentals in Long Island

To venture out past the 17th-century towns and fishing villages of Sag and Montauk, you’re going to need a sailboat rental in Long Island. Expect yachts with plush interiors to match the opulent mansions that cluster by the coast, along with visions of clifftop lighthouses and age-old clamming hamlets that ooze history from every tavern and quayside.

Sailboat rentals along the Gulf Coast

Adventures on the Gulf Coast can be just as amazing as sailboat rentals in Florida and beyond. In fact, the ocean vacations here are a ticket to a world of cotton-colored sands, buzzy boardwalks, big estuaries filled with rare seabirds, and dolphin-speckled waters…

Orange Beach sailboat rentals

A fine alternative to sailboat rental in Florida, Orange Beach straddles a series of barrier islands and inlets just across the state border in Alabama. Things tend to be much cheaper here than in the Sunshine State, which means you can free up extra dollars for larger catamarans or stylish single-hulled yachts. Then, it’s all about searching for bottlenose dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico or looking for beautiful dune parks along the Emerald Coast.

Kemah for Texan sailboat rentals

Kemah has one foot in the Gulf and one in the great sprawl of Houston. It’s far enough from downtown to retain that chilled, coastal vibe, though. And its fringed with big marinas that positively brim with billowing sails ready to rent. Aweigh anchor here and you could be watching sunset shows across Galveston Bay and finding hidden inlets for all that Lone Star R&R.

Galveston and its great bay

Another Texan sailing jewel awaits in Galveston. If you can pull yourself away from the handsome Victorian manor homes and bubbly boardwalk stands in the center, then the whole of Galveston Bay promises to be the perfect water-sports playground. In fact, it’s a well-known place to find your sea legs, with ASA-certified schools just waiting to invite you on board.
