One-Day Yacht Rental Costs

By vessel

  • Louisa of the Seas (140 guests, 2,500 sq ft): $8,000–$18,000
  • Eternity (300 guests, 8,000 sq ft): $18,000–$35,000+
  • Grande Mariner (575 guests, 9,000 sq ft): $35,000–$60,000+

What adds to the price

  • Fuel consumption and route mileage
  • Crew labor
  • Gratuity — typically 15–20%
  • Dockage fees
  • Post-event cleaning

Group math

A $10,000 yacht split among 20 passengers comes out to $500 per person — group charters get meaningfully cheaper per guest than a solo rental.
