Launched in 2002, Art Basel has become the premier art fair in Miami showcasing a new generation of contemporary artists and bringing with it a huge turnout of visitors from every continent.

Due to its close proximity to the water, charter guests with an affinity for the arts and the creative industry regularly attend the event by yacht, berthing at Island Gardens Deep Marina

This marina is situated just a stone's throw from the venue's location at Miami Beach Convention Center, putting yacht-goers right in the heart of the action. Guests can enjoy the unmissable opportunity to visit this highly acclaimed event and mingle with up-and-coming artists and the creative elite of North America.

Charterers can also anchor at Miami Beach to take part in Art Basel, explore the galleries and tour around 'Magic City'.

The event is also well-suited to business functions, and many yacht-goes also conduct meetings or formal networking functions as part of a corporate yacht charter.
