Frequently Asked Questions for Private Miami Yacht Charter with CharterXO: Cruise, Celebrate & Soak Up the Sun

Question 1

Can we bring our own drinks and food?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring your own beverages and snacks on board. Want to take it up a notch? CharterXO boat owners may also offer add-ons like catering and bottle service so you can upgrade your experience without lifting a finger.

Question 2

What if not everyone downloads the app?

Accepted Answer

No problem! CharterXO's payment splitting is flexible, so you can either assign more of the total payment to certain individuals.  If people in your group decide they don't want to download the app after you've created the booking, still no problem.  You can simply pay the outstanding balance yourself and collect the money from them the old school way.

Question 3

Is this just for bachelor and bachelorette parties?

Accepted Answer

While we love hosting epic pre-wedding celebrations, CharterXO is also perfect for birthdays, girls’/guys’ weekends, family events, or any reason to party on the water. Basically, if you’ve got a crew — we’ve got the boat.

Question 4

What makes CharterXO better than booking a random boat rental?

Accepted Answer

With CharterXO, you get more than just a boat:

- Captained trips (no worries about driving)
- Easy cost-splitting in the app so everyone pays their share
- Party-ready yachts with sound systems and spacious decks
- Add-ons like catering, drinks, and VIP upgrades
- Quick booking in just a few taps
- Trust & security: Your money is held in escrow until after your charter is complete — no sending large sums to strangers.

Question 5

How far in advance should we book?

Accepted Answer

For bachelor, bachelorette, and birthday weekends, boats go fast — especially in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks out to lock in your preferred date and boat. Last-minute planners? Don’t stress — the app shows real-time availability so you can grab what’s open.

Question 6

How do we know we’re getting a legit boat and captain?

Accepted Answer

CharterXO only partners with verified captains and vetted boats. Every listing is inspected to meet our quality and safety standards, and funds are held in escrow until your trip is complete. That means total peace of mind for you and your crew.

Question 7

Why book through the app instead of calling around?

Accepted Answer

Because we make it effortless. With the CharterXO app, you can:

- Compare boats instantly with photos, features, and pricing
- Split payments easily with friends
- Book in just a few taps (no endless back-and-forth calls)
- Trust that your money is secure in escrow until your trip is complete

Question 8

Can we talk to the boat owner before booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes! With CharterXO, you can chat directly with the boat owner or manager right inside the app before you book. Ask questions, confirm details, and make sure the vibe is perfect for your party. Just sign up, browse boats, and start chatting instantly — it’s that easy.

Question 9

Do we need to bring our own decorations?

Accepted Answer

Not unless you want to! Many CharterXO owners offer party decorations as an add-on — from balloons and banners to full themed setups. Whether it’s a bachelorette bash or birthday blowout, you can step aboard to a boat already decked out for the occasion.
