Just shy of 30 miles outside of downtown Miami, Homestead offers visitors a small-town atmosphere with the facilities and amenities of a big city. Homestead is the perfect location to go and have some family fun. Whether you choose to rent a boat for half a day or for a few more, Homestead is sure to wow you.
Ten miles west of Homestead is Everglades National Park, and on the opposite side, on the east is Biscayne National Park. Nestled between these two national parks, this South Florida town is truly special, and has the perfect balance between nature and city. While it may appear to be landlocked a first glance, Homestead has many lakes where you can spend a day out on the water by renting a pontoon boat, for example. And not too far from Homestead are the Florida Keys!
Sailing around Homestead can be a relaxing getaway for those looking to vacation in a small town with many activities. From Homestead, take your charter experience to another level by taking the river down to the Biscayne National Park Outstanding Florida. Here you will be able to take full advantage of your water toys, spend the day scuba diving, exploring the coral reefs, or paddle boarding in the crystal clear waters.
If you’re looking for a calmer day out on the water, look into renting a boat out on a lake. Contrary to boating in the ocean, lakes offer boaters a calm and tranquil environment which can be ideal for less experienced sailors. Lake boat charters are also ideal for family vacations. Kids will be able to swim in the lake and enjoy different water sports without having to worry about big waves, for example. Some lakes, like American Bittern Lake, even have parks nearby where you can then have a barbecue or have a great time playing land sports.
Renting a boat can come at many different price points. The pricing scale can widen depending on whether or not you choose to add different options to your yacht rental. Add-ons can include but are not limited to water toys such as paddle boards, jet skis, etc., crew members on board, a captain on board…

Renting a boat with a skipper is guaranteed serenity both for the boat renter and the boat owner. Having a captain onboard means that the renter will not need to worry about anything during the charter and will be able to focus solely on having a great experience. Boating rules and regulations can vary from state to state, so not having to worry about having the correct boating license is a huge weight off of your shoulders. We highly recommend renting a boat with a captain in order to ensure the smoothest sailing experience.
The type of boat you should rent depends on the type of activities you would like to do during your trip. People looking for half-day availabilities to fish, for example, should look into renting a small motorboat which is easy to navigate in lakes. Those looking to do water sports can rent a bigger motorboat, for example.
