Private yacht rental in Tampa

A yacht rental in Tampa should be private, easy and properly crewed. Well Played puts a yacht on Tampa Bay for your group alone, with a licensed captain, crew and fuel included. Whether the day is a celebration or a client outing, you bring the people and we arrange the rest.

Yacht rental on Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is a large, open body of water with a city skyline on one side and quiet shoreline on the other. From a private yacht you see it at its best: the downtown skyline from the water, the waterfront homes of Davis Islands, and the broad reach of Hillsborough Bay and Old Tampa Bay.

The captain decides where the boat anchors, based on wind, tide and traffic, and chooses a spot where your group can eat, swim or simply sit and talk. Tell us what the day is for and we shape it around that.

Where your yacht leaves from

Guests meet our 50' Prestige at the Gandy Boat Ramp in Tampa, which makes her a natural choice for a Tampa group. For every other yacht, each boat page shows where guests meet, and the office confirms your meeting point before the day, so there is never any guesswork about where to arrive.

Corporate entertaining and group days

A private yacht charter is a different kind of room for hosting. Clients, colleagues and partners are in one place, away from phones and the office, with a crew looking after them. Typical days include:

• Client entertaining and thank-you outings
• Team celebrations and milestone days
• Private dinners afloat with a chef quoted by the office
• Birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings

If you are planning something larger or more structured, our events page explains how we plan a gathering around a yacht.

Choosing the right size of yacht

Each yacht's page shows exactly how many guests she takes, so you can match the boat to your group rather than guess. If you are unsure, tell us how many are coming and whether you want room to move, to dine or to lounge, and we suggest the right boat.

Tampa and St. Pete together

Tampa Bay connects both cities, and many groups stay on one side and charter from the other. Our St. Pete Beach boat rental page covers the Gulf side, and a private dinner cruise works well from either. If you own a yacht yourself and are wondering how a charter business could run it, see yacht charter management.
