Overview
Miami is a major South Florida owner, charter, provisioning and guest-logistics hub with superyacht marina options around Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and the Miami River area.
This guide focuses on marina information, owner/guest logistics, provisioning and emergency notes. Customs, immigration and charter-compliance details should be verified through official US sources or an experienced yacht agent before arrival.
Captain notes
Miami is valuable for owner travel, charter embarkation, provisioning, crew movements, guest logistics and access to South Florida marine services. Captains should plan marina berth reservations, bridge/route constraints, customs and immigration status, provisioning deliveries and hurricane-season requirements before arrival.

Customs and immigration

Emergency contacts
United States emergency number: 911 for police, fire and ambulance emergencies.
Yacht crews should still confirm marina emergency procedures, dock access points, bridge openings, security gates and nearest medical facilities with the marina, yacht agent or local authority before use.
Doctors, hospitals and medical support
Hospital and medical-support details for Miami have not yet been fully verified in this guide. Use 911 in an emergency, and confirm non-emergency medical facilities with the marina, yacht agent or crew medical provider.
VHF and radio notes

Bunkering
Bunkering should be arranged through the marina, yacht agent or approved fuel supplier. Delivery access, berth rules, environmental requirements and customs status should be confirmed before operational use.
Provisioning
Miami is one of the strongest provisioning and owner/guest logistics bases in the United States. Specific suppliers should be selected from verified Superyacht Guide companies, yacht-agent recommendations and marina-approved vendors.
Crew notes
Miami supports crew movements, provisioning, airport access, charter logistics, shore services and South Florida marine support. Crew immigration and employment status should be verified before arrival.
Refit and repair
Miami has strong light technical support, service contractors and access to nearby South Florida refit centres. Larger works may be better planned around Fort Lauderdale or specific Miami River facilities after verification.
Security and safety
Security, marina access, guest movements, delivery rules, hurricane plans and insurance requirements should be verified with the marina or yacht agent before arrival.
Seasonal and weather notes
Miami planning should account for hurricane season, insurance restrictions, winter charter demand, bridge/route constraints and South Florida weather windows.
Local rules
Local marina, anchoring, bridge, customs, immigration, charter and environmental rules should be verified with official sources or the yacht agent before operational use.
