Private yacht charters in Fort Lauderdale & Miami
Underway Charters is the private charter arm of Maverick Yacht Management. Because we manage and maintain vessels every day, every boat we put you on is one we know intimately — engines serviced, systems checked, and detailing fresh. That is the quiet advantage of chartering with a management company instead of a broker: the boat is genuinely ready, not just listed. We depart from Fort Lauderdale and Miami and run charters throughout South Florida, including Biscayne Bay, the barrier islands, and sandbar destinations popular for day trips.
Built around your day on the water
Every charter is custom. A half-day cruise for a milestone birthday, a full-day sandbar outing with friends, a sunset run for a proposal, a corporate client experience, or an overnight escape — we plan the itinerary, arrange catering and beverages, and stage any water toys you want aboard. Your licensed USCG captain and professional crew handle the navigation, anchoring, and hospitality so you can simply enjoy the vessel and your guests.
What to expect when you book
Tell us your date, group size, departure point, and the kind of day you have in mind, and we will match you with the right vessel and a clear, all-in quote. You will receive boarding instructions, a planned route, and live updates ahead of departure. Fully insured operation, professional crew, and curated vessels are standard on every Underway charter — no surprises, just a great day on the water.
Real owners. Real vessels. Real peace of mind.
The owners on this page did not hire us to impress their friends. They hired us to take a problem off their plate — and we did.
“Since hiring Maverick I have not thought about my yacht once, except to use it. Johann and his team handle every detail, and the monthly reports mean I always know exactly what is happening.”
“We are out of state for most of the year. Maverick is the only reason we can still enjoy the boat when we visit — ready, clean, fueled, running.”
“Switched from a full-time captain to the Platinum package. Better coverage, lower cost, and I finally have a single point of contact who actually knows my boat.”
