Serving Fort Lauderdale and Beyond

M/Y Rapture is a fifty foot Sea Ray Sundancer that comfortably welcomes you and twelve of your guests to experience the time of your life on the beautiful waters of Fort Lauderdale. Our crew of yachting professionals have one thing in mind - giving you a first class charter experience in a safe and comfortable vessel. She's stable, she's fast, and she's beautiful. Your Captain is USCG Licensed and knows the local waters well. Your Chef / Stew will make sure that if you opt for a food package, that you never go hungry. We want your experience to simply amazing.

We are lucky in Fort Lauderdale to have so many options on where to cruise. The Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and the New River are at your doorstep and provide some amazing views of magnificent homes and super yachts that give Fort Lauderdale the title "Yachting Capital of the World." Longer charters allow us to also enjoy beautiful anchorages off the beaches in Fort Lauderdale and Miami for swimming and sunning. Nothing beats Miami at night, except for fresh Key Lime Pie or snorkeling in the Florida Keys. If that is your goal, we can do that too. Everything depends on your dreams.

From the minute we welcome you aboard with a champagne toast until we bit you farewell, we will make your day one to remember for life. And if the past is any indication, we suspect you'll book your return trip shortly after arriving back on land.

Dear Charter Guest,

It s a joy and a privilege to be able to make your cruise extra special. The joy and satisfaction that my of seeing my guests enjoy my creations motivates me to always go above and beyond. Nothing beats a beautiful day on the water like a meal properly paired with wine, enjoyed while the sun goes down. When you book your charter, should you wish to enjoy a custom culinary experience I will work with you one-on-one to understand your dietary requirements so that when you sit down for dinner, it is one to remember. My specialties include French, Mediterranean, Spanish and Asian-Fusion. 

As a French-trained Chef and a yacht owner, I know what you expect from your day on the water. Please feel free to check me out on Facebook and Instragram, and email me for specific questions. 

Bon Appetit, 

Chef Arlene Meyer

Safety Aboard - We take it very seriously. Know that every crew member of M/Y Rapture has been trained in First Aid / CPR with AED. Additionally, they are enrolled in a active drug testing program. When on charter, our crew is prohibited from consumption of alcoholic beverages. There will be time for that at the dock.

Prohibited Items - We don't like to talk about this, but we have no choice. Rapture Charters has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to controlled substances onboard the boat. This INCLUDES marijuana (including medical) and CBD. These regulations are required by the United States Coast Guard. Any violation of this policy will result in immediate termination of the charter, and no refund will be issued. Please understand the seriousness here. Your crew can lose their licenses to work, and the boat can be seized if contraband is found onboard. So leave that stuff at home. You'll have a great time without it.

Firearms - We believe in the Second Amendment, and we support your right to keep and bear arms. However, on the yacht we ask that you not bring them. If, however, it is a choice between locking it up on your car and locking it up on the boat, please bring it onboard, but allow the Captain to secure it for you. We would rather keep it safe onboard that risk it getting stolen from your vehicle. It will be returned to you upon completion of the charter.

Smoking Onboard - YES...you CAN smoke on Rapture. However, we have a designated smoking area, so please respect that.
