Let’s be honest — renting a yacht sounds fancy. But what exactly does that include? Towels? Food? A mermaid bartender? (Not quite... but close.)

If you’re considering one of our Fort Lauderdale yacht rentals, we’re breaking it down for you — crystal clear. Here’s everything that’s included, what you’ll need to bring, and what to expect once you’re onboard FantaSea.

✅ What’s Included in Your Nauti Crew Yacht Charter

We like to keep it stress-free and fully loaded with good vibes. Here’s what you get automatically when you book:

🧑‍✈️ Licensed Captain & Crew

Every charter comes with a professional captain and a knowledgeable crew member (aka your new best friends on the water). They’ll handle navigation, safety, docking, and make sure you’re living your best yacht life.

🛥️ The Yacht

You’ll be cruising aboard FantaSea, our sleek and sexy Concept 32’ center console. Features include:

  • Spacious wraparound seating
  • Lounge-worthy bow area
  • Premium Bluetooth sound system
  • Shaded cover and open sun zones
  • Ample dry storage for your stuff
  • That unmistakable “I’m on a boat” energy

🧊 Cooler with Ice

No need to lug your own — we’ve got a large cooler ready to chill your drinks and snacks. Bring your booze, mixers, and whatever else you want to keep frosty.

🎶 Bluetooth Audio System

Connect your phone and let the playlist flow. Whether you’re throwing a party or setting the mood for sunset, the vibes are yours to create.

⛑️ Safety Gear

Life jackets, first aid, and all the Coast Guard-required safety equipment — handled.

📸 The Ultimate Backdrop

We’re talking skyline, sunset, and saltwater glamour for your next-level Insta moments.

🚫 What’s Not Included (So You Can Plan Ahead)

While we’ve got you covered on the core essentials, here’s what you’ll want to bring or arrange separately:

🥤 Food & Beverages

You bring the drinks. You bring the snacks. We’ll keep them cool and out of the sun. Want catering or a charcuterie spread? Ask us about our favorite local vendors.

🧴 Sunscreen & Towels

Sunscreen is a must (reef-safe preferred), and we recommend packing your own beach towels if you plan to sunbathe or swim.

👙 Swimsuits & Extras

Want to jump in? Float around? Lounge in your suit? Pack accordingly. We don’t provide swimsuits, floaties, or towels — that’s your call.

🍽️ Plates, Cups, Utensils (if needed)

Hosting a party or bringing cake? Bring serving supplies or let us know ahead of time so we can help prep.

📷 Photos/Videography

Want a pro photographer onboard? We’ve got recs — just let us know. Otherwise, you’re the content creator!

🎉 Optional Add-Ons to Make It Extra

Ready to go beyond the basics? These upgrades can take your cruise from “awesome” to “iconic”:

  • Charcuterie boards or brunch platters
  • Custom decorations for birthdays, bachelorette parties, proposals, etc.
  • Photographer or drone coverage
  • Party floaties or inflatable drink holders
  • Themed music playlists curated by us
  • Floral arrangements or champagne setups

We’ll help coordinate it all — just give us a heads-up during booking.

🧳 Quick Packing Checklist

Here’s what to toss in your beach bag:

  • Swimsuit (and dry clothes if you want to change)
  • Towel
  • Sunscreen + lip balm
  • Sunglasses and/or hat
  • Snacks and drinks (no glass bottles, please!)
  • Portable charger
  • Bluetooth-ready playlist
  • Cash or Venmo tip for the crew if you’re feeling generous
  • Birthday sash, bride hat, captain’s hat — whatever fits your vibe

🕓 Timing & Trip Duration

Most of our charters are offered in:

  • 2–3 hour cruises (perfect for sunset or sightseeing)
  • Half-day charters (great for birthdays, bachelorette parties, or client outings)
  • Custom experiences based on what you want to do

We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to go over safety info, get comfy, and vibe into vacation mode.

👩‍✈️ Booking Tips

  • Book early — especially for weekends and golden-hour slots
  • Let us know your group size and if it’s a special occasion
  • Tell us your must-haves and we’ll help customize the day
