Designed to appeal to the most prestigious clients, Residence Yacht Club (@residenceyachtclub) delivers a seamless VIP yachting experience with elegantly tailored programs. Appealing to Miami’s high rollers and jet-setting clientele, trips can be perfectly crafted, bringing in people like massage therapists, DJs, top-tier chefs and even yoga instructors—anything the customer desires.

Levin controls nearly every aspect of the company, owning and operating the fleets, ensuring the ships, captain, crew and experience exceed their customers’ expectations, who often return for multiple trips. The captains and crew are dedicated, providing an unparalleled sea adventure. Clients even have the option to brand the boat, customizing shirts, towels and hats.

“We wanted to create a difference for yachting in South Florida and beyond. We can ensure the boat meets certain criteria and, more importantly, it is to our guests’ expectations,” Levin shares. “The Residence Yacht Club clientele is largely made of people who can afford to buy their own yacht but want the experience we offer and meet their expectations on all fronts.”

Clients can choose from a selection of luxury yachts to experience daily or multiday chartering to the Keys, the Bahamas and the Caribbean, taking advantage of Miami’s premier access to the deep blue seas and nearby destinations. Residence Yacht Club is also partnered with SBE Hotels, bringing the signature Hyde Experience to the open waters, which Levin says they hope to expand in the future.

With hospitality, food and beverage and all-star service aboard, Miami has never looked better from the sea. Smooth sailing!
