Not everybody wants to buy a yacht—how about renting one for a spell? Most resort areas that lie on the water have a marina, and that means yachts, swanky, sleek, over-the-top party boats for repose. From Miami to San Diego, a variety of sexy boats can be leased for an hour, a week, a day or more. Consider heading to Los Cabos, where the concierge at the classy Resort at Pedregal can help organize your yacht rental. Some guests begin and end their stay at this secluded, waterside resort, hewed into the cliffs. Some boats to float from their tony repertoire inclue the immense 96 foot Canados, which has a VIP bedroom, a master suite and tow other commodious guestrooms, plus five bathrooms, a kitchen, dining area and common spaces. Water toys (from Stand Up Paddleboards to floats to kayaks) are part of the deal—not to mention a chef, open bar, staff, captain and any bespoke items ordered to customize the cruise.

Finally, Sailo, the airbnb of yachts, remains a great option. With thousands of boat rentals, from catamarans to luxury yachts, in places from the Bahamas to New York City, Sailo’s easy website makes filtering for boat, crew and dates carefree. After you book, just show up at the dock, climb aboard and let the captain do the work.
