How much does a yacht charter cost in Tampa Bay?

Charters on our smaller vessels, like the 39' Sea Ray Flybridge and the 41' Regal 4160, start from $1,200. The 60' Flybridge starts from $2,800, and the 68' Uniesse, our flagship, starts from $6,500.

Those are starting points, not flat rates. Every charter is quoted all-in for your specific date, route, and party, so the number in your proposal is the number you pay for the charter itself.

Vessel size is the biggest factor. A larger yacht means more crew, more systems, and more space, and the rate reflects that.

Duration is next. A sunset cruise is priced differently than a full day on the water or a multi-day Gulf itinerary.

Season and day of the week matter too. Peak-season weekends in Tampa Bay book earliest and price highest, which is why we suggest reserving two to four weeks ahead for Saturdays in spring and summer.

Finally, add-ons: a private chef, photography, floral and decor through our vendor network, or DJ and entertainment for an event are all quoted as line items, so you choose exactly how far to take the day.

Every Well Played charter includes a licensed captain and professional crew. You never operate the boat, handle docking, or manage logistics.

Your proposal spells out exactly what is included for your specific charter, so there are no surprise fees on the dock. If something is not included, you will see it as a clearly priced option instead.

One convention worth knowing: in the U.S. charter industry, a crew gratuity of roughly 10 to 20 percent is customary when the crew has done a great job. It is always at your discretion.

Tell us the occasion, the date, and roughly how many guests. A concierge replies personally within 24 hours with two or three vessel options and transparent all-in pricing for each, no obligation.
