Art Basel Miami Beach 2026 (Dec 4–6) & Raccoon Island VIP Charters

Every December, Art Basel Miami Beach (December 4–6, 2026) turns South Florida into the epicenter of the global art world. While gallery openings, pop-up exhibitions, and evening galas fill convention halls, discerning art collectors and VIP guests seek private retreats on the water.

1. The Ultimate Escape from Miami Beach Crowds

After hours of navigating packed art fairs and traffic along Collins Avenue, stepping aboard a private motor yacht provides total tranquility.

Cruising north into North Biscayne Bay reveals stunning views of the Miami skyline, Biscayne Bay waters, and the waterfront architectural estates of Indian Creek Island — famously known as "Billionaire Bunker".

2. Private Yachting to Sandspur Raccoon Island

Your private captain anchors off Sandspur Island, where guests can wade into shallow, clear turquoise waters to encounter the island’s resident raccoons in a serene natural setting.

Enjoy chilled champagne, gourmet charcuterie boards, and custom playlist audio setups aboard plush leather sunbeds while taking in panoramic sunset views over Biscayne Bay.

Reserve Your Art Week Charter Early

Private boat charters during Art Basel Week (Dec 1–8) experience high demand. We advise reserving your yacht 3 to 4 weeks prior to Art Week.
