Houseboat Rentals in Miami
Houseboats in this market mostly look like luxury yachts tied to a slip. Book My Boat lines up overnight stays on yachts and a small number of true houseboats. Most options include the cabin, the kitchen, and a private slip with parking. Stays run 1 night or longer. Captained day cruises can be added to most bookings.

What Counts as a Houseboat
True houseboats are flat-bottom vessels built for living, not high-speed cruising. Inventory in this market is thin. Most overnight options are full-size yachts that stay docked overnight at Miami Beach Marina, Sea Isle, or Dinner Key. You get the cabins, the galley, and the private deck. The marina handles power, water, and parking.
