Holy smokes this is a cool venue! I'm glad I found this mega-yacht party palace at an event during Art Basel. I liked it so much I just got my firm to book it for a company event. Very seldom have I been so blown away by the setting and service, anywhere, anytime. If you're wondering where/what/how, Seafair is the huge white yacht docked on Biscayne Bay by the Intercontinental Hotel. That's the hotel with the 30-story tall hip hop girl gyrating in LED lights. I felt like her after visiting Seafair, but didn't dance right there on the street. It's hard to decide where to start. This enormous modern boat will make you feel like the benevolent dictator of a small oil sheikdom. It's available for events just there at the dock, or it will take you out into the Intracoastal or even the Atlantic. Food and service were top-notch. There were some cranky old complainers (me included) at the Art Basel event, and even the harsh ones were impressed. You can use their in-house folks/food or bring your own. In short, it's an only-in-Miami venue. Plus, I just like showing out-of-town clients the giant hiphop light sculpture 5 blocks from my office to borrow some Miami hipness.

Absolutely the worst food I have had. We were on board for a company event and the buffet was gross. The beef short ribs were chewy ( over cooked) the chicken was over seasoned that I couldn't eat it. The bar tenders were nice but had to look up drinks( manhattan's) which seemed weird for a standard drink. The wine selection was not ideal. They served second / third label wines that were probably $8-10 a bottle. Not even worth the effort. I would not recommend this venue.

this boat is a mess and outdated also very expensive, this company of Enzo Ships LLC does not have the right staff for this venue, at best they hire low paying wages migrants for the maintenance of this vessel. Their bathrooms look nice but the plumbing is terrible, the third floor flooring is coming apart from water leaks from the plumbing, they give a false promise that the ship will sail in the bay, and have mechanical problems. Don't use this boat for any events, their prices are extremely extremely high. Go elsewhere

Had the pleasure of attending the 2015 Halloween party aboard SeaFair Miami. We went with a group of friends and we all had a lovely time! The yacht is beautiful and extremely well kept. Then again is only a 41 million dollar mega yacht. This mega yacht had was extremely spacious at 228 feet and 4 cool decks. The Skydeck by far was one of our favorites! Upon entering the crew kindly greeted you and it truly made you feel welcome. The bathrooms were clean and spacious and the many areas and spaces never made you feel claustrophobic. The yacht took off on around the Miami Bay area and it had a priceless view and feel. It truly made me feel like a million bucks... The on con was that the drinks onboard were a little overpriced at $20.00 each then again it wasn't a surprise considering how lovely this party was. Overall, we would definitely recommend this yacht for a private event and can only imagine how amazing it would be to be onboard for their New Years party. I would definitely recommend going with group or taking a romantic date for a private event. Enjoy!

The Yacht is good looking and it is reserved or rented out for different events. My first experience here was an Art Gallery event that they hosted, which was a pretty classy event. But this time they hosted a Cadillac and Architectural design event, which was WAAAAAAY Better. The Hosts and Hostesses were super polite, friendly and accommodating. The food and drinks-amazing. The parking-convenient and not priced outrageously. The decor of the inside of the Yacht-elegant. The Event-1st class. **Note: If you are dating someone with class and a good sense of style then take them to an event that's hosted by this place. So, check it....the food that they catered for this event was delicious assorted sandwiches, pasta, cheeses and fresh salad, which was so full of flavor and refreshing. They also served honey mint iced green tea, which I enjoyed every sip of it and soft baked macadamia cookies, which was one of the best I've had in a while. Count me in on any future events-Holla!!!!

We paid a lot of money to go out on the "VIP" New Years party. The boat never left the dock and we overheard two employees saying that it never intended on leaving. We emailed the captain and he flat out lied that it was too windy when it wasn't windy at all - total rip off

I got married on the sea fair last year around this time and it was the best experience of my life. The boat is completely remodeled with state of the art amenities. You can't compare it to any other wedding yacht in South Florida! Not only is the vessel incredible but the staff is top notch. Michael handles all of the events on the boat and he is so organized and such a pleasure to work with. Also big kudos to the captain who welcomed everyone and made sure to take a picture with us. All in all it was a day I truly can never forget and the experience was beyond expectations because of this incredible ship. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts Mr.&Mrs.Robinson

Such a beautiful yacht. Greg White, Mariana Hauri, Captain Craig Matthews & Captain Sam Carroll all did an amazing job. Since one of the owners is an art collector, so there is beautiful art throughout. It is clearly a luxury yacht including the ballroom on the third level surrounded by windows where people can enjoy the sunset while enjoying their dinner.

The New Year's Eve celebration on the SeaFair sounded fabulous online and we signed up to go with another couple, selecting the VIP option for a fee of $400 per person (supposedly discounted and going up to $500 after Dec. 1). We arrived for early "VIP" boarding and quickly realized that nearly all the participants had opted for the VIP event and boarding was basically a "cattle call". Once on board we were directed to the third deck where a buffet was set up in two rooms, each with very limited seating, mostly sofa-like seats with low tables. There was a bar set up in each room as well, serving drinks in flimsy plastic cups. The buffet was what you would expect at a party in a second-tier restaurant...mediocre food and flimsy plastic dishes and flatware to put it on. Before long there were lines at the bars and buffet and people were searching for a place to sit to eat. We ended up going down to level 2 where there was more seating (since no one seemed to have opted for the regular party), but no music or entertainment was provided. At 9:00 we were herded to the top deck for the "show"...a DJ with several dancers on stilts wearing feathers and offering an opportunity to dance on a soaking wet, slippery dance floor, alongside families with young children. The "cruise" took us off-shore (barely) until just before midnight, when we returned to watch the orange make its final climb to the top of the Inter-Continental Hotel. Judging from the majority of faces, the disappointment in the event was shared by all, except for the children who seemed to enjoy themselves. This event was a big disappointment for my group, though we tried to make the most of it...sorry SeaFair but this party was pathetic. I gave two stars because the yacht is beautiful.

The global megarich are paying up to $2 million a week for superyacht rentals but smaller boat charters are down

Sales of luxury yachts may be down but the world’s megarich have found another, more instantaneous way to get their high seas kicks — chartering a swanky boat instead.

Total chartered days for yachts longer than 50 meters has increased since 2020, according to  IYC , a global firm specializing in the sale and charters of luxury yachts. Vessels between 60 to 70 meters posted the most growth last year, at 10%, whereas shorter yachts aren’t nearly as popular as before.

IYC Chief Executive Officer  Raphael Sauleau  said he’s seeing more customers willing to pay a higher premium for the ultimate ocean experience. Clients are willing to pay more for a so-called advanced provisioning allowance, which covers on-board expenses like food and service, of up to 40% compared to the standard 30% of the total charter fee, he said.

New customers are coming to yachting “with an appetite for larger yachts,” Sauleau said. Compared with smaller vessels, these floating villas come with more privacy, better facilities and a larger crew. A bigger range of large models that’s become available over the past three years has also contributed to higher bookings, he added.

Fraser Yachts , a major international broker, is experiencing a similar phenomenon, receiving 7% more charter bookings for yachts over 60 meters in 2023 versus prior years. Across yachts of all sizes however, the number of charter days reported last year was 19% down on 2021.

It’s a quirk that would seem to chime with the trend of super luxury brands defying a broader luxury slowdown. Hermes International SCA, for example, saw Chinese buyers  snap up its products . Hermes typically caters to the most affluent customers, making it more resilient in a challenging luxury goods market.

At the same time, sales of floating palaces are waning, the Superyacht Times said in a  report  in March. Sales of superyachts, generally defined as boats longer than 30 meters, contracted 20% in 2023 from 2022 and are well down on 2021, when many rich people splurged on boats to travel in a safe and exclusive way.

Stacy Fischer-Rosenthal , the president of luxury travel and lifestyle consultancy Fischer Travel Enterprises, said she’s expecting to help clients charter at least 10 yachts this year. Most of the interest is around megayachts — or yachts above 60 meters — and prices range from about $700,000 to $2 million a week, she said.

Wealthy people may be shying away from outright purchases due to geopolitical worries and global conflicts.

Fear of more widespread fighting in the Middle East and Russian’s war in Ukraine “seem to make some buyers nervous, particularly those in the market for very large new builds,” the Superyacht Times said.
