When to charter in Miami and Florida?
Because of its subtropical climate and ideal temperatures, Florida is a great destination for a yacht charter any time of year. It’s called the Sunshine State for a reason; and you’ll enjoy blue, sunny skies year round. There are a few considerations when planning your charter, but in most cases, it’s simply a matter of preference.
Tourism
The high season runs from mid-December to mid-April as U.S. residents seek to escape for their local snowy weather. You’ll find more visitors around the winter months, which means may mean more company on land as you visit South Beach, Lincoln Mall, or upscale restaurants. Plan to get reservations in advance if visiting during the high season.
Summer months can be busy, especially around national holidays, as families with children take vacations to the state. Since school is out during the summer in many communities across the country, you can expect to see an influx of families and kids; however, many of these tourists are heading to the Orlando-area for Walt Disney World and other attractions.
Florida’s Weather
From May to September, Florida experiences hot and humid weather. The coastal regions are blessed with cooling ocean breezes. Afternoons are often marked by thunderstorms that have built up with the heat. Plan your activities during the morning or early afternoon or in the early evening, as most storms come through and leave without a trace, allowing the sunshine to return. June through November is hurricane season, so keep that in mind while planning, and be prepared.
From September through November, the state cools off slightly and this is perhaps the stormiest time of the years. In the winter months, it is still relatively warm and what natives consider “cold” weather may still be in the 70s and quite comfortable. December through April offers warm temperatures with low humidity and is an ideal time for a yacht charter. The weather begins warming up again in late March through May, which is often associated with tropical showers.
