Book as early as possible: top yachts and prime positions often sell out 60–120 days in advance. For front-row placements or VIP packages, reserve several months ahead when you can.

Yes — we usually offer multiple boarding locations (downtown/Bayfront, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne). Final pickup is confirmed based on marine traffic and logistics in the week before the event.

A deposit is required to secure the booking (often non-refundable per policy). Holiday charters typically require larger deposits and the remaining balance is due before or on the charter date; details are provided on your quote and confirmation.

If the show requires permits or zone fees, we either include them in the quote or list them as separate line items on the invoice. We always confirm fees when sending your final confirmation.

Prime areas include Biscayne Bay near Bayfront, approaches to South Beach, and Key Biscayne approaches. Final position depends on permits, safety, and the specific display layout.

Safety and official directions take precedence — if authorities change zones we’ll follow their instructions. The captain will communicate adjustments and we’ll offer alternatives where possible.

If authorities cancel the show or the captain determines conditions are unsafe, cancellation/rescheduling policies apply: options typically include rescheduling, credit, or a partial refund depending on the terms of your booking.

No — personal pyrotechnics, sparklers, or open flames are prohibited onboard for safety and legal reasons. Any special effects must be arranged through authorized providers and operated off-boat.

Yes — our captains are experienced with station-keeping, coordinating with marine control, and managing traffic during large displays. They follow strict safety procedures to protect guests and crew.

Yes — but coordinate in advance. DJs and large vendors must be approved by the captain (space, power, and safety). Professional photographers are welcome but must follow crew guidance during maneuvers.

Alcohol is typically allowed if authorized by the vessel owner. For holiday charters we recommend crew-served catering/drinks; the captain reserves the right to limit consumption if safety becomes a concern.

During the display, the captain prioritizes safety and position; activities that require leaving the vessel (kayaking, swimming) are usually not permitted. These may be possible before or after the show with captain approval.

We recommend arriving 60–90 minutes before the show to allow time for boarding, safety briefings, and transit to the assigned viewing position.

Yes — most marinas have nearby parking (often paid). We recommend arriving with extra time or using ride-hailing to avoid heavy city traffic and delays on event night.

Bring photo ID for all adults and your booking confirmation. For international guests, carry passports. The captain may request additional details for safety or manifest purposes.

Typically yachts wait a few minutes after the display to allow traffic to clear; many charters include extra time for celebrations (toasts, reflections on the water). This is usually accounted for in the charter duration.

If the captain needs to adjust position or refuel for safety/operation, they will communicate with guests and handle it professionally. Any additional operational costs are explained upfront whenever possible.

Arrive early, consider VIP packages with catering/DJ for an elevated atmosphere, follow captain instructions, bring a camera for spectacular water reflections, wear flat shoes and a light jacket for the evening breeze.
