The most personal way to charter a yacht in Miami.
Dolly Charters runs one boat: a 38-foot Pardo, built in Forlì, Italy. Captained by a USCG-licensed Miami captain who knows Biscayne Bay by heart. The boat is yours for the day, and the day is whatever you want it to be.
Italian-built sport yacht
The Pardo 38 is hand-built by Cantiere del Pardo in Forlì, Italy. Teak sun pad up front, perimeter walkway, shaded helm station, three 300hp Mercury Verados. The cleanest, quietest charter boat in Biscayne Bay.
Tour the boatUSCG-licensed captain, every trip
Dolly Charters runs one boat and one captain roster. When she's already booked, you get one of her hand-picked, USCG-licensed backup captains. Same boat, same standard.

An open-deck sport yacht with a teak forward sun pad that fits eight, a canvas-covered cockpit for shade, and 900 horsepower of Mercury V8 that gets you to Stiltsville before the crowd does.
Onboard the Pardo 38: built for a slower kind of Miami yacht charter.
Walk the perimeter of the boat without ducking under anyone. The forward seating fits the whole group around a teak table that drops into a sun pad. A canvas-covered aft cockpit keeps lunch in the shade when Biscayne Bay is at its hottest.

Reviews from real Miami yacht charter guests.
We run most charters personally, and her vetted backup captains run the rest. The result is the same boat, the same standard, and the same experience that gets us called back.
"Picked us up at our dock in Bal Harbour at 9 a.m. and we were anchored at Stiltsville before the rest of the bay even woke up. Best boat day we've had in Miami."
"Booked the sunset charter for our anniversary. Champagne, no other boats around, and a captain who actually let us have the day to ourselves. Worth every dollar."
"Pardo is on a different level from the standard Miami rental. Quiet ride, real teak, and the captain knew the kitchen at Boater's Grill by name. We'll be back."
