Private Miami yacht charters
Ship Happens Miami — the same fleet, a different door
Good boats, no drama. We skipped the stiff-luxury script and kept the part that actually matters: a captain who shows up, a boat that's ready, and a day on the water that goes the way you planned it.
Our story
It started with one boat, and Bill still answers the messages
Bill T. started chartering boats out of Miami with one idea: a day on the water shouldn't feel like a production.
That's grown into a Miami charter fleet of 107 yachts hosting guests across Miami, the Florida Keys and the Bahamas — same crew, same standards, whether you found us here or at our other door, BillsIn Yachts.
Ship Happens Miami isn't a different company wearing a costume. It's the same fleet and the same team, built for people who want the boat booked and the details handled — without the ceremony.
Pricing stays just as straightforward: every private charter includes your captain and fuel, no sales tax added, no hidden fees. Plan your charter and we'll take it from there.
