Not every group needs a 60 foot yacht. Book My Boat lines up small private boats for 2 to 6 guests at a fraction of the cost. Center consoles, bowriders, and deck boats all show up here. Most rentals run 4 hours and stay under $200 per hour with the captain. Use them for a date day, a snorkel trip, or a quick island hop.
Small boats here run 19 to 26 feet. Center consoles work for fishing and snorkel runs. Bowriders give you front-deck seating for sunbathing.
Deck boats fall between the two with a larger usable deck. All come with bimini tops for shade and a captain if you book one.

Real reviews from guests who booked small boats through Book My Boat.

Most small boats run $90 to $175 per hour. Captained rentals add $40 to $60 per hour for the captain. Fuel is often included. The 4-hour minimum is standard at this size.
Small boats hold 4 to 6 guests. Some 26 footers hold 8. Coast Guard capacity is posted on every listing. Going over capacity is a no-go.
Not always. Some owners allow self-drive with a Boater Safety Card. Most groups still book a captain to relax and skip the parking and docking. Captained rentals are the easiest path.
A 4-hour trip covers Stiltsville and back, a snorkel run, or a sunset cruise. Bahamas trips need 8 hours minimum on a small boat. Most groups stick to the bay and the close islands.
Usually not at 19 to 22 feet. 24 to 26 footers sometimes have a small enclosed head. Plan a marina stop if anyone needs a restroom on a longer trip.
Yes. Center consoles are built for fishing. Most include rod holders, a livewell, and a cooler. Rods, bait, and tackle add on as a separate package.
Yes. Florida law requires children under 6 to wear a life jacket while underway on vessels under 26 feet. Jackets are provided. Captains pick the calmest route based on the wind.
Small boats book out 1 to 2 weeks ahead for weekends. Peak season (December through April) needs 3 to 4 weeks. Weekday trips often open same week.
