Why Charter the Sea Ray 48ft in Miami

The Sea Ray 48ft is the boat Miami locals actually recommend to friends who want style without the stuffiness of a superyacht. You'll see it anchored off Key Biscayne sandbar on a Saturday, hosting a bachelorette party with champagne in hand, or cruising past Star Island while guests point out the mansions. It's the sweet spot for groups of 10 to 13 who want to feel the ocean breeze and still have room to move.

Birthday groups love this yacht because the aft deck turns into a dance floor as the sun sets over the Miami skyline. Corporate clients use it to close deals with a relaxed vibe — nobody says no to a meeting on the water. Families book it for a full day at the sandbar, where the kids snorkel while grandparents stay shaded in the salon. Sunset cruises from Bayside to Fisher Island deliver that golden-hour glow you'll post everywhere.

GQ Concierge operates 2026 and recent model year yachts, so you always get a clean, current-generation vessel. With 10+ years of Miami luxury charters under our belt, we know exactly where to anchor for calm water and the best views.

Sea Ray 48ft Specifications

The Sea Ray 48ft combines sporty performance with comfortable cruising for 13 guests. Here are the exact numbers you need to plan your day.

This Sea Ray's deep-V hull cuts through Government Cut chop with ease, keeping your champagne upright. The open bow seating gives guests a front-row view of the Miami skyline, while the aft deck offers shade and a table for snacks. Two staterooms below provide a quiet spot to freshen up or nap between swims.

Charter Packages & Pricing

The Sea Ray 48ft is available for charter starting at $1600 for 2 hours. That price includes the captain, crew, fuel, and insurance — no surprise fees when you arrive.

Every charter includes a licensed captain, attentive crew, fuel for the entire trip, and comprehensive insurance. You'll also get snorkeling gear for the sandbar and a cooler filled with ice — just bring your drinks or order our catering add-on. The 4-hour window is our most booked because it covers a relaxed cruise to Key Biscayne with time to swim and still get back for dinner plans.

GQ Concierge Add-On Services

GQ Concierge goes beyond yacht rental — we're a full-service luxury concierge. Add a professional photographer to capture every laugh and splash, from boarding at Miami Beach Marina to the final sunset shot. Our drone videographer will film the Sea Ray 48ft gliding across Biscayne Bay with the skyline as your backdrop — cinematic footage that makes your Instagram unforgettable.

For food, our private chef can prepare anything from champagne and charcuterie boards to a full gourmet seafood feast served on the aft deck. Prefer to keep it simple? We'll arrange catering from a top Miami restaurant and have it delivered to the yacht before you board. VIP transfer to the marina is another signature touch — arrive in a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Sprinter, or Rolls-Royce, picked up from your hotel or Airbnb.

Celebrating something specific? Add flower arrangements, birthday decorations, or custom setups tailored to your theme. Tell us your vision via WhatsApp and we'll handle every detail.

Miami Charter Routes & Destinations

Your captain knows Miami waters like the back of his hand. Here are the four most popular routes for the Sea Ray 48ft, each offering a different flavor of the city.

Biscayne Bay & Star Island Cruise

Glide past the mansions of Star Island and Fisher Island while your captain points out celebrity homes. The Miami skyline rises behind you — perfect for photos from the bow. This route is ideal for first-time visitors who want the full Miami power-and-money tour.

Key Biscayne Sandbar

Anchor in the shallow, crystal-clear water off Key Biscayne and step right into the warm shallows. Snorkel gear is included, so you can explore the seagrass beds and spot tropical fish. On weekends, the sandbar turns into a floating party — tie up with other boats or find a quiet spot for yourself.

Miami Beach & Government Cut

Cruise along the South Beach coastline, past the Art Deco hotels, and out toward Government Cut where massive cruise ships depart. Watch the ships glide by while you enjoy the ocean breeze. This route shows off Miami's maritime energy and is a hit with visitors.

Sunset Cruise from Bayside to Fisher Island

Set off from Bayside Marketplace in the late afternoon and head toward Fisher Island as the sun dips below the horizon. The sky turns pink and orange over the water, and the city lights begin to twinkle. This is the most romantic way to end a day in Miami — bring your camera.
