When Is Art Basel Miami 2026? Dates, Hours & Venue

VIP Preview Dec 2–3, 2026 Invitation only
Public Days Dec 4–6, 2026 11am – 6pm daily
Venue Miami Beach Convention Center
Miami Art Week Nov 30 – Dec 6 Approximate

The fair drew 283 galleries and over 80,000 visitors in 2025. Doors close at 6pm, about half an hour after a December sunset. That timing makes an Art Basel yacht party the easy next stop: board as the sky turns pink, then watch the skyline light up. Check evening availability for your dates.

Art Basel Parties & Events on the Water

Miami art basel events fill every rooftop and gallery in town. A private charter gives your group its own venue, with no cover charge, no guest list to get on and no line at the bar.

After-Fair Sunset Cocktails

Leave the Convention Center at closing and board at Miami Beach Marina minutes later. Cruise past Star Island and Fisher Island with a drink in hand while the light fades over Biscayne Bay.

Floating Gallery Night

Hang canvases and set sculptures in the main salon, then invite collectors aboard. Our event yachts have hosted Art Week openings with easels, pedestals and screens for digital work.

DJ & Dance Floor After Dark

Turn the night into a party with a DJ, LED lighting and an open dance floor. The larger yachts have an enclosed deck, so the music keeps going whatever the weather.

Pre-Party Before Miami Art Week Nights

Many groups cruise from 6 to 9pm, then head to parties in South Beach, Wynwood or the Design District. Your captain can drop you back at the dock closest to your plans.

Private VIP Yacht Events Away from the Crowds

Art Week brings packed rooftops, long lines and invite lists you can't control. An Art Basel yacht party flips that. Only your guests come aboard, and a USCG-certified captain handles the route while you host.

Pick a 13-guest luxury yacht for a close circle of collectors, or a 140-guest yacht for a full VIP reception. Every charter comes with transparent pricing and no hidden dock fees.

  • Whole yacht for your guest list
  • No tickets, lines or cover charges
  • Champagne and bartender service
  • Sunset or after-dark cruise times
  • Discreet, professional crew

Skip the Art Week Traffic: Arrive by Water

During Art Week, the causeways between Miami and Miami Beach back up for hours. A yacht turns the trip into part of the evening.

Spending the day at Wynwood Walls or the satellite fairs? Head to the nearest Downtown dock and cruise across the bay instead of sitting on the MacArthur Causeway.
