Skeet shooting on a yacht in Miami. This private charter in Miami Beach mixes saltwater fishing with Ocean Skeet Shooting over biodegradable, ocean-safe clays, all without crowds.

I especially like the tight team setup: captain plus two crew members who stay hands-on throughout the day. I also love the thoughtful touch for the ocean, since the targets and ammo are biodegradable and ocean safe. Named crew member Gabriela is even mentioned for keeping the energy upbeat and fun.

One key consideration: skeet shooting is 18+. If your group includes younger kids, plan on them staying with the fishing side while adults handle the guns.

Getting on board at Miami Beach: where the day starts

This experience starts at 300 Alton Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139. It also ends back at the same meeting point, so you’re not piecing together multiple legs of the day. That matters in Miami, where parking and logistics can turn into an energy tax fast.

The charter is private, meaning only your group is on the yacht. If you’ve done crowded fishing trips before, you’ll feel the difference right away. No waiting for someone to haul their line. No awkward standing room. Just a “you’re here for fun” pace.

In terms of timing, the standard listing says about 4 hours, and it also offers 2-, 4-, or 8-hour private options. If you’re trying to pack Miami Beach highlights into a day, the 4-hour slot is often the sweet spot. You still get real time on the water, without turning your whole trip into a slow-motion waiting game.

The 75′ Hatteras yacht: luxury that’s actually built for action

The yacht is a 75′ Hatteras fishing yacht, not a generic party boat. The point is simple: this is set up for fishing and for running a controlled shooting session, while still feeling upscale.

You also get tournament-grade fishing gear, which changes the whole feel of the trip. When the tackle is dialed and the crew is experienced, you spend less time fighting equipment and more time fishing. You’ll also have captain + two crew members there to assist with setup and technique, so you’re not left guessing how to use the gear.

On comfort, you get practical extras: bottled water and ice are included. It’s the kind of small thing that makes a charter feel like someone planned it for humans, not just paperwork.

And for the “this is Miami Beach” factor, the yacht setting helps you see the water from a different angle than you’d get on a beach walk. You’re out there with open ocean around you while the day turns into a full-on event.

Fishing in South Florida: what the crew actually helps with

This is private saltwater fishing with a crew that knows the deal. You’re not just paying for a boat. You’re paying for people who can help you fish well, whether you’re a first-timer or you’ve been out before.

The trip includes fishing gear, and the crew includes trained, experienced anglers who assist in every aspect of your fishing adventure. That can mean everything from helping you get lines set up correctly to guiding you on what to do next if you’re not sure where to start.

The big practical takeaway: when fishing is paired with shooting, you need a smooth transition between activities. A well-run crew keeps the downtime low, so the day feels like it moves, not like you’re waiting for someone to catch up.

As for the fishing results, you’ll see variety in the outcome depending on timing and conditions. One group described catching multiple species like tuna, sailfish, and wahoo, while another mentioned landing five fish. In other words: come for the experience, but you do have a real shot at memorable catches.

Yachts n Guns: ocean skeet shooting with a real safety setup

This is the signature feature. The charter includes Ocean Skeet Shooting, described as an off-shore trap and skeet shooting experience out on the open ocean. Targets are biodegradable and ocean safe, and the ammo is ocean safe too, so the “play hard” part doesn’t come with the “leave a mess behind” problem.

Before anyone shoots, there’s a Safety Instructor who provides lessons and safety equipment. That’s a big deal, because skeet shooting is technical enough that a short, clear lesson can make the difference between frustrated and actually having fun.

The shooting experience is designed for both beginners and experts. Beginners benefit from the instruction and coaching, while experienced shooters can enjoy the novelty of doing it on open water rather than at a standard range.

One more rule worth knowing: skeet shooting requires participants to be 18+. That doesn’t mean the whole charter is off-limits for families. It just means you’ll likely do a split-day style moment: adults focus on shooting while everyone else enjoys the ride and fishing.

How the 2-, 4-, and 8-hour charters change your day

You’re not locked into one schedule. The charter offers 2 hour, 4 hour, or 8 hour private options, and the skeet adventure is included as the signature part of the experience.

Here’s how to think about it:

• 2 hours: Great if you want the main event without draining your whole day. You’ll likely get a shorter, more focused mix of fishing time and shooting time.
• 4 hours: Often the best match for first-timers. You get enough time for instruction, some fishing rhythm, and still have a clear ending.
• 8 hours: Ideal for groups who want a full “day out” on the water and more relaxed pacing, plus time for any custom additions that get requested in advance.

Real talk: shooting takes a bit of mental attention at first. A longer charter gives that first-timer adjustment time without rushing. Reviews also mention the 4-hour duration being a good first experience length, which tracks with how you’d want your first charter to feel.

Also, this experience depends on conditions. It requires good weather, and the provider treats weather seriously enough that they offer a new date or full refund if they cancel due to poor conditions.

What’s included (and what you may want to add)

What comes with the charter is solid and clear:

• Captain + 2 Crew Members
• Fishing gear
• Shotguns, safety gear, ocean safe ammo + targets
• Fuel
• Bottled water & ice
• Private charter for your group, with the included detail stating up to 6 guests

Upgrades are available, but they are not baked into the base rate. Custom upgrades you can request include:

• Private chef
• Red carpet arrival
• Professional photo/video
• Live bait

That “chef” option shows up in real examples too: one group mentioned the fish being cooked during the trip. Since a private chef is listed as an upgrade, that’s the kind of add-on worth asking about if your group wants the day to feel like a full celebration.

Two small gotchas to keep in mind:

• All fees and taxes are not included in the headline price.
• A security deposit is required during the charter.

If you’re budgeting for a smooth night afterward, ask the provider what to expect on taxes/fees and the size of the security deposit.

Price and value: why $3,000 can work for the right group

The price is $3,000.00 per group (the info also notes “up to 1” in one place), and the inclusions state up to 6 guests. That mismatch is worth clarifying before you book, since the value depends on how many people you’ll fit.

Assuming you’re using the “up to 6 guests” capacity, here’s where the value comes from:

You’re paying for:

• A private 75′ yacht with a captain and two crew members
• Tournament-grade fishing gear
• The full skeet setup: shotguns, safety gear, ocean-safe ammo and targets
• Fuel, plus bottled water and ice

Many Miami “activities” charge you for the boat but then add costs for gear, instruction, or special add-ons. Here, the core equipment for both fishing and shooting is included, which helps the math.

So the real question isn’t just the sticker price. It’s this: do you want a private experience with both activities built in? If yes, the price starts to make sense fast, especially for groups celebrating something or companies running a memorable outing.

Who should book this charter in Miami Beach

This is a strong fit if your group wants action plus style. The experience is positioned for:

• Families (with the understanding that skeet shooting is 18+)
• Friends
• Bachelor/bachelorette parties
• Corporate entertainment and team building

It also shines when you want a day that isn’t predictable. Plenty of Miami fishing charters are one-note. Adding Ocean Skeet Shooting turns it into a shared activity that keeps people engaged even if they’re not the most experienced anglers.

If your group prefers quiet sightseeing only, this may not be the right pick. This charter is for people who want to do things, not just watch.

If you’re bringing a mixed-experience group—some who fish, some who don’t, some who’ve never shot—this is still a good match because the crew and instructor are part of the included package.

Quick planning tips before you go

Based on what’s explicitly included and how skeet shooting works, here are practical planning moves:

• Bring age-eligible adults ready to shoot. Skeet shooting is 18+.
• Wear clothing that works on a boat and can handle getting wet. You’ll be near saltwater spray while shooting clays over the ocean.
• Ask ahead if you want any upgrades like live bait, a private chef, or photo/video, since those are add-ons.
• If you’re worried about logistics, note the meeting point is accessible in Miami Beach, and the info says it’s near public transportation and service animals are allowed.
• Plan your day around conditions. The activity requires good weather, and cancellations due to poor weather lead to a different date or full refund.

Should you book this Miami Beach yacht and skeet charter?

If you want a Miami experience that feels like a private event—on a real fishing yacht, with hands-on crew help—and you like the idea of shooting biodegradable, ocean-safe targets over open water, then yes, I’d book it.

I’d also book it if your group includes people who want more than one kind of fun. Fishing alone is great. Skeet shooting alone is great. Together on the ocean, it turns into something few people get in Miami.

Just confirm two things before paying:

1) the group size/capacity details (the info says up to 6 guests in the inclusions, while one line mentions up to 1), and

2) how the day handles the split between the adults shooting and anyone under 18 staying with the fishing side.

Do that, and you’re set for a day that’s part sport, part luxury, and full-on Miami Beach memory.
