WELCOME ABOARD

Experience South Florida
Like Never Before

Welcome to Prime Time Boat Charters, where unforgettable days on the water begin with a private charter experience designed around you. If you are looking for a luxury boat charter in Boca Raton, a private yacht charter in Deerfield Beach, a sightseeing cruise in Lighthouse Point, or a relaxing South Florida boating adventure with family and friends, Prime Time Boat Charters offers a personalized way to enjoy the boating lifestyle that makes this region so special.

South Florida is known as the boating capital of the world, and once you spend time on the water here, it is easy to understand why. From beautiful Intracoastal cruising and calm sandbar afternoons to waterfront dining, sightseeing, and custom celebrations, the water offers a side of Florida that you simply cannot experience from land. At Prime Time Boat Charters, we make it easy for guests to enjoy that lifestyle aboard our comfortable and well-appointed 35-foot express luxury cruiser.

Whether you want a half-day charter, a full-day charter, a romantic cruise, a birthday celebration, a family outing, a bachelor or bachelorette party, or a customized day of boating with out-of-town guests, our mission is simple: help you have an exceptional time on the water in a safe, comfortable, and memorable setting.

YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY

Private Charters Customized for You

One of the things that makes Prime Time Boat Charters different is that every trip is customized for you and your guests. This is not a crowded group tour with a fixed schedule and limited flexibility. It is your day on the water, and we want it to feel that way.

Some guests want to slow cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway and admire the scenery. Others want to anchor out at Lake Boca, swim, relax on the giant inflatable raft, enjoy drinks and snacks, and soak up the South Florida sun. Some charter guests want a romantic date-night cruise or a sunset experience, while others want to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, proposal, reunion, or special occasion with friends and family.

Our captain knows these local waters extremely well and can help create a route and experience that matches your group, your schedule, and your goals for the day. From Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach to Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Prime Time Boat Charters helps guests discover some of the best boating experiences in South Florida.

LUXURY, COMFORT AND FUN

The Perfect Boat for South Florida Cruising

Prime Time Boat Charters centers around our 35-foot express luxury cruiser, a boat that combines performance, comfort, layout, and amenities in a way that makes it ideal for half-day and full-day charters. The boat was selected specifically to provide an all-around enjoyable experience for couples, families, and small groups who want more than just a ride. It is designed to let people relax, celebrate, sightsee, swim, dine, and enjoy the water in style.

Aboard Prime Time, guests enjoy a roomy and comfortable layout with the kind of features that elevate a charter day from ordinary to memorable. The boat includes two cabins that can sleep up to four adults, air conditioning, a generator, a U-shaped dinette, a flat-screen TV, a DVD player, a refrigerator and freezer, a two-burner stove, a microwave, a modern and clean bathroom, and an upgraded Bluetooth stereo system so you can bring your own playlists for the day. There is also a large bow sun pad for lounging, an extended swim platform for easy access to the water, noodles, and an oversized six-person inflatable raft for extra fun when anchored out.

This mix of features makes the boat a strong fit for everything from laid-back sightseeing to more active sandbar and swim days. If you are searching for a Boca Raton boat rental with captain or a South Florida private charter boat with more comfort and amenities, Prime Time is built for exactly that experience.

Meet Captain Paul

The heart of Prime Time Boat Charters is Captain Paul, whose passion for boating and hospitality is a major reason guests return again and again. Captain Paul has more than 30 years of boating experience and has held a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain license for more than 15 years, currently holding a 100-ton Master License. His experience has taken him from Newport, Rhode Island to Key West, Florida and throughout the Bahamas. That depth of experience gives charter guests confidence, safety, and the benefit of a captain who truly understands the local water and how to create a great day on board.

Captain Paul’s love of boating started early. As a teenager, he received his first boat and quickly turned time on the water into his first boating business selling ice cream to other boaters on Long Island Sound. That experience shaped his connection to the boating community and helped build the passion that still drives the charter business today. What guests appreciate most is that he combines professionalism and boating knowledge with a friendly, welcoming approach that helps everyone feel comfortable from the moment they step aboard.

A WELCOMING PRESENCE ON BOARD

1st Mate Jessica and a Friendly Charter Experience

Prime Time Boat Charters is also supported by 1st Mate Jessica, whose own love of the water and multilingual background help create an inviting environment for a wide range of guests. Jessica grew up around boating in Venezuela, later moved to Boca Raton, and eventually joined Captain Paul on many trips throughout South Florida, the Keys, and the Bahamas. She speaks English, Spanish, French, and some Italian, which helps make the charter experience even more welcoming for a diverse group of guests visiting South Florida.

Together, Captain Paul and Jessica create a private charter environment that feels more personal than transactional. Guests often mention how comfortable, well cared for, and at ease they feel while cruising with them.

Chris

Paul is a great Captain! Accomodating, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. I highly recommend!

Captain Paul and his crew were incredible! He helped me pull off the surprise of a lifetime with our engagement. We will be back and encourage you all to hop on board!
Captain Paul and the crew were very engaging, professional and fun. We felt we were very taken care of duding the entire boat ride. I would highly recommend this group for a great experience.
Captain Paul and Jessica are the best! This was our second charter with them because we knew no one else could top our first experience. They took me out for my bachelorette trip, and this time we brought my whole family. They truly make you feel like family from the moment you step on the boat. They’re so friendly, fun, and made sure we had an amazing time. We wouldn’t book with anyone else and can’t wait to charter with them again the next time we’re here. Highly recommend!
Captain Paul was accommodating in every way. We brought 6 of us along with our one year old and everything was fantastic.
Captain Paul and First Mate Jessica were amazing hosts. These are all-around wonderful people who will go out of their way to create an enjoyable and memorable experience. It was me and 5 other friends on their charter and it didn’t feel crowded at all. Wonderful experience! For those wondering, there is a bathroom onboard.
Our family chartered the vessel Prime Time in Boca Raton and the entire experience was exceptional. The vessel was in excellent condition, the service was professional, and the itinerary Captain Paul gave us the perfect mix of sightseeing and relaxation. Every detail was handled with care, making it a seamless and enjoyable outing. Highly recommended.
Captain Paul and all of his staff are not only first class boat charters but first class people. My wife and I started our relationship and charters with Paul in 2021 and always strive to make it a must-do when in the area. Now inviting our friends and family along too, who feel the exact same. As fairly novice charter people, we have grown to loving being on the boat. Each charter comes with great care, safety, and most importantly fun. It’s a must do when in South Florida and Paul (and Prime Time Boat Charters) will be the only charter we use for this experience. 100% recommend!
My wife and I hired Captain Paul and his First Mate Jessica for a nice afternoon tour on his yacht. It was fantastic and we had such a great time talking and hanging around with them. Very knowledgeable and funny. Lots of great trivia questions.
I will use Captain Paul again. Jessica was tremendous as well and made sure that we were well taking care of. 5-star service. Thank you.
Captain Paul was excellent! He was knowledgeable, easygoing, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. His experience on the water really shows, and he made everyone feel comfortable and safe. I’d definitely recommend Captain Paul to anyone looking for a great boating experience.

Captain Paul is a great captain. Boat is beautiful and he is very reliable and flexible.
Love love love !!
Captain Paul and Jessica were amazing! We had a fantastic time cruising the intracoastal. We have done several charters of them and look forward to many more in the future
Our family’s 3 generations had a wonderful time on the boat. Paul and Jessica were absolutely lovely. We loved swimming in Boca Lake and cruising along the Intercoastal. We can’t wait until next year!
We had an amazing experience on Captain Paul’s “Prime Time” 35-ft intracoastal Florida cruise! Two families, kids and adults, and every single person had a fantastic time. The boat was spacious, clean, and super comfortable—plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the ride.

The cruise itself was beautiful and smooth, with gorgeous views the whole way. It felt fun and relaxing at the same time, which is not easy to pull off with a big group! Everything was well organized, Captain Paul made us feel safe, welcome, and totally at ease from start to finish.

This was easily one of the highlights of our trip and something we’ll all remember for a long time. If you’re looking for a memorable boat charter for families or groups, this is 100% the way to go. We can’t wait to do it again!
What a great day! The boat is beautiful and we were treated like friends not customers. Highly recommended.
Our family had an amazing time with Captain Paul & Prime Time Charters. The boat was perfect for a group of 8, comfortable and clean. Captain Paul made my 91 year old grandmother feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. Everyone had a blast, from our kids to our grandmother, who enjoyed briefly driving the boat. Captain Paul knows the area very well and made our whole trip easy and fun. Highly recommend we had a lovely afternoon!
I was going to rent a boat and tour the intracoastal waterway with my family. I’m so happy I came across Captain Paul and Prime Time – coordination and pickup was perfect, boat is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Paul is a great captain, and he even has deck hands helping out to keep everything running smoothly. We will book with him again next year, no question.
We loved the special gifts of balloons and fruit in honor of our 30yr old daughter!! Their pics were awesome!! Whaaaaaaat! We are definitely booking Captain Paul again…a great canal cruise to see Boca ..Fla…His wife was a gracious hostess! Ahoy!! M.C…NC
