Yacht Charter for Miami Swim Week
A floating set and a private showroom for the week swimwear takes over Miami Beach.
Miami Swim Week usually runs from late May into early June, when swimwear labels, buyers, models and press gather in Miami Beach for runway shows and presentations. For brands, it is also one of the best weeks of the year to make content, with clear water, strong light and much of the industry in town.
A yacht works as both a set and a showroom. Brands book a day on the water to shoot a campaign or social content against open water, sandbars and the skyline. Others use the deck to host buyers or editors for a few relaxed hours, with the collection on show. If it is a commercial shoot, tell us early so the operator can confirm what is allowed on board.
Swim week overlaps with the start of the summer season, and the most photogenic yachts book early. Some set minimum hours or event rates for those dates; your quote will show any event-week minimums. We are not affiliated with any Swim Week show or organizer, and the charter does not include show access.
How brands use a yacht during Swim Week
Campaign and content shoots
Open decks, clear water and a captain who can reposition for the light make a yacht a flexible location for stills and video.
Sandbar backdrops
Shallow turquoise water at Haulover or Nixon sandbar gives you a natural set a few steps off the swim platform.
Hosting buyers and press
Invite buyers or editors for a few hours on board to see the collection in its natural setting.
Pools and jacuzzis on deck
The Sirena 88's bow plunge pool and flybridge jacuzzi, or Cloud 9's bow jacuzzi, add something different to a shoot.
Shoot approval first
Commercial shoots need the operator's agreement. Your advisor confirms crew size, equipment and any conditions before you book.

Frequently asked questions
When is Miami Swim Week?
Miami Swim Week usually runs from late May into early June, with shows and presentations around Miami Beach. The schedule varies from year to year, so check the organizers' official information and send us the days you want on the water.
Can we do a photo or video shoot on a charter yacht?
Often, yes, but tell us at the start that it is a commercial shoot. Some operators allow it on a standard charter, others set conditions on crew size, equipment or styling. Your advisor confirms the yacht's terms in writing before you book so the day runs without surprises.
Which yachts work best for a swimwear shoot?
Yachts with large open decks and water features tend to photograph best. The Sirena 88 has a bow plunge pool and a flybridge jacuzzi, Cloud 9 has a bow jacuzzi, and the 88-foot Freedom has generous sun pads. Your advisor can share photos of each to help with planning.
Can we host buyers or press on board during Swim Week?
Yes. Many brands book a short charter to bring buyers or editors onto the water for a few hours. Your advisor can arrange catering and drinks for the guest list. Most yachts on this page carry up to 13 guests, so plan your invitations around that limit.
How much does a yacht cost for a Swim Week shoot?
Four-hour rates in our fleet start at $3,300 on a 60-foot Azimut and reach $9,500 on the Sirena 88 or Cloud 9. A full eight-hour shoot day on Freedom is $9,700. Any event-week minimums, catering and tax are itemized in your quote.
