The Crew

Service you feel, never service you manage

Too Shallow is more than a beautiful yacht. It is the team onboard that shapes the feeling of the charter — planning ahead of you, working around you, and leaving you nothing to organise.

Aboard Too Shallow

A full professional crew for up to ten guests


Every charter runs with a licensed captain and a dedicated crew — enough people that nothing about your day depends on you.

  • Fully licensed and certified crew
  • Discreet, unobtrusive service
  • Trained in guest safety and first aid
  • Itineraries planned around your group
  • Dedicated crew-to-guest ratio
  • Years of Caribbean and Bahamas experience
The Captain
01

The Captain

Licensed master, and the person who shapes your day on the water.


Every charter runs under a fully licensed captain with deep local knowledge of Biscayne Bay, the Florida coastline, and the crossings to the Bahamas. Routing is planned around your group, the weather, and where the water is best that week — not a fixed itinerary.

  • Route planning and daily itinerary
  • Navigation, weather routing and crossings
  • Safety of everyone aboard
  • Local knowledge of anchorages and sandbars
First Officer & Engineer
02

First Officer & Engineer

Keeps the yacht — and everything on it — running quietly.


The technical side of the charter is handled entirely out of sight. Engines, generators, air conditioning, tenders and water toys are maintained and launched by qualified crew, so the only thing you notice is that everything simply works.

  • Engineering and onboard systems
  • Tender operation and transfers
  • Launching and supervising water toys
  • Safety briefings and equipment
Private Chef
03

Private Chef

Menus built around your table, provisioned before you arrive.


Dining is planned in advance from a conversation, not a set menu. Preferences, allergies, celebrations and the pace you want to eat at are all agreed before departure, then provisioned and prepared fresh onboard for every meal of the charter.

  • Custom menus and provisioning
  • Dietary requirements and allergies
  • Breakfast through late dinner service
  • Celebration cakes and special requests
Interior & Deck Crew
04

Interior & Deck Crew

The detail you feel without ever being asked to think about it.


Cabins turned down, glasses never empty, towels waiting when you climb the swim ladder. Interior and deck crew work around your day rather than through it — attentive when it matters and invisible when it does not.

  • Table service and bar
  • Housekeeping and cabin turndown
  • Swim platform and water sports support
  • Celebration setup and styling
How a charter runs

Planned before you arrive, adjusted while you are aboard


  1. 01

    Before You Board

    A planning conversation covers your dates, your group, dietary preferences, celebrations and the kind of days you want. The crew provisions and prepares around it.

  2. 02

    Arrival

    You are met at the dock, bags taken aboard, and walked through the yacht. A short safety briefing, a drink in hand, and the charter begins.

  3. 03

    On The Water

    The captain adjusts routing daily to the weather and to how your group wants to spend the time — more swimming, more cruising, more sitting still.

  4. 04

    Every Evening

    Dinner is served where the light is best. Cabins are turned down while you are on deck, and the next day is confirmed before anyone turns in.

Moments Guests Remember

Time on the water guests talk about long after the trip ends


We did an overnight charter with family in the Bahamas, and Too Shallow was perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, the kids loved getting in the water, and the cabins were comfortable and well-kept. Waking up on the yacht the next morning with coffee on deck was probably my favorite part.
Tom Kennedy Caribbean Weekend Cruise
We booked Too Shallow for a birthday day charter, and it ended up being the highlight of the whole trip. The yacht was even more spacious in person, the crew was friendly without being overbearing, and everything felt really easy from the moment we stepped onboard. We spent the afternoon cruising, swimming, and just relaxing, and none of us wanted the day to end!
Lisa Astor Miami Skyline Cruise
I planned a sunset charter for my fiancée, and the crew helped make the whole evening feel really special without making it feel forced. They timed everything perfectly, gave us privacy when it mattered, and the setup on deck was beautiful. It was one of those experiences that actually lived up to what I had hoped for.

Alison Woolworth Miami Skyline Cruise
Chartering Too Shallow was easily the highlight of our trip. The crew was professional, welcoming, and made us feel completely relaxed throughout the entire journey. The yacht itself is stunning, and there was plenty of space for everyone to lounge, swim, and enjoy the incredible views. Watching the sunset from the deck was something we will never forget.
Sean Ford Sunset Charter
I proposed to my fiancée aboard Too Shallow and it was perfect. The crew helped plan the moment at sunset, and everything felt private and unforgettable. We celebrated with an amazing dinner and incredible views. It was the perfect place to start our next chapter.
