The Ultimate Private Sailing Experience

Discover why a private catamaran charter is the absolute best way to experience Florida's Space Coast.

Why Book a Private Charter?

A private boat charter is the ultimate way to experience the beauty of Cocoa Beach and the Indian River Lagoon. Whether you are celebrating a major milestone, hosting a family reunion, or simply want an exclusive outing with your closest friends, our private charters offer unmatched comfort, privacy, and personalization.

When you book a private charter with Cocoa Beach Catamaran, you aren't just buying tickets for a boat ride—you are reserving the entire vessel. There are no strangers onboard, no fighting for the best view, and no rigid scripts. The experience is entirely yours.

The Catamaran Advantage

If you are comparing private boat rentals in Cocoa Beach, it's important to understand why a sailing catamaran is superior to a standard pontoon or speedboat:

• Incredible Stability: Catamarans have two hulls, which means they do not lean or roll like monohull boats. You can comfortably walk around, socialize, and relax without spilling your drink.
• Spacious Comfort: Our Maine Cat 30 catamarans are designed for lounging. With a wide beam, there is plenty of room to stretch out.
• Shade and Amenities: Enjoy a fully shaded cockpit to escape the Florida sun, plus a clean, private marine restroom onboard.
• Peace and Quiet: When the wind is right, we turn off the engines. Sailing is quiet, peaceful, and allows you to actually hear the sounds of nature and converse with your group.

A private charter means the boat is entirely yours for the duration of the trip.

Perfect for Every Occasion

We host hundreds of private events every year. Some of the most popular reasons guests book a private charter include:

• Birthday Parties: Celebrate another year with music, drinks, and dolphins.
• Bachelorette Parties: A classy, fun, and memorable way to celebrate the bride-to-be before the big day.
• Corporate Outings: Reward your team or entertain clients in a unique setting.
• Marriage Proposals: Our captains are experts at helping you plan the perfect moment to pop the question at sunset.
• Family Vacations: Keep the family together for a private wildlife tour without the distractions of a crowded public boat.

Customizing Your Experience

One of the best parts of a private charter is the flexibility. While our public tours follow a general route, a private charter allows the captain to tailor the trip to your group's interests.

Want to spend the whole time searching for dolphins? We can do that. Prefer to find a quiet cove, drop anchor, and enjoy some drinks and music? Done. Want the captain to teach the kids a little bit about sailing? We love doing that! Just let your captain know what kind of vibe you are looking for when you board.

What About Large Groups?

Our standard private charters accommodate up to 6 guests per boat, strictly following US Coast Guard regulations. However, if you have a larger group, we have a solution!

For groups of 7 to 20 guests, we offer Bareboat (Demise) Charters. This specialized charter arrangement allows you to legally rent the vessel and hire a qualified captain, enabling us to accommodate larger parties across our fleet. It's the perfect solution for big family reunions or corporate events.

What to Expect on Your Private Charter

When you arrive at Cape Crossing Marina, you'll be greeted by your captain and crew. After a brief safety orientation and a quick discussion about your goals for the trip, we'll cast off. As we navigate through the calm waters of the Indian River Lagoon, you'll have the opportunity to spot incredible local wildlife, including dolphins, manatees, and osprey.

The beauty of a private charter is that the itinerary is flexible. If your group wants to spend more time observing a playful pod of dolphins, we can do that. If you'd prefer to raise the sails and enjoy a quiet, peaceful glide across the water, just let the captain know. It's your boat, your time, and your adventure.

Best Time to Book Your Charter

The Indian River Lagoon is beautiful year-round, but the best time for your charter depends on what you want to experience:

• Morning Charters: The water is typically calmest in the morning, making it an excellent time for wildlife spotting and enjoying a peaceful start to the day.
• Afternoon Charters: Perfect for groups wanting to soak up the Florida sun, enjoy some drinks, and experience the lively energy of the lagoon.
• Sunset Charters: The ultimate romantic or celebratory experience. Watch the sky turn vibrant shades of pink and orange as the sun sets over the water.

Insider Tips for a Great Experience

To ensure your private charter is absolutely perfect, we recommend arriving 15-20 minutes early. Don't forget to bring reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera. Since you have the boat to yourself, feel free to bring a cooler with your favorite snacks and beverages. If you're celebrating a special occasion, let us know in advance so we can help make it extra special!
