The 43′ Rendezvous is a 43-foot power catamaran — the smaller of the two catamarans in the Miami Boat Charters fleet, positioned at the entry level of the catamaran charter category and offering the twin-hull advantages of stability, wide beam deck space, and shallow draft in a more intimate and accessible package than the 62′ Luxury Catamaran. The Rendezvous carries 3 staterooms each with its own dedicated head — a 3-to-3 head-to-stateroom ratio that gives overnight guests complete bathroom privacy with no sharing, which is notably better than most 43-foot monohull vessels at this price range. An upper helm station provides an elevated navigation and lounging position above the main cockpit, and the sundeck gives the group a second open-air zone for sunbathing during the anchor stop. The catamaran’s wide beam makes the deck feel larger than a comparable monohull at the same length — more outdoor space per foot, more stable at anchor, and a shallower draft that positions the Rendezvous closer to the Nixon’s Sandbar shallows than deeper-keeled vessels. The vessel accommodates 12 guests during the day and 4 overnight. Learn more about this charter below or check out our other Miami Yacht Charters.
Yacht Overview
The 43′ Rendezvous Catamaran accommodates 12 guests during the day and 4 guests overnight across 3 private staterooms — Master cabin and VIP cabin confirmed in the gallery, plus a third stateroom — each with its own dedicated ensuite head. Three heads for three staterooms is a 1:1 ratio that gives every overnight guest direct private bathroom access, a standard not typical for vessels at this size and price range. The main cockpit is large and open-plan, with comfortable seating throughout, an al fresco dining table for meals on deck, and a surround sound system that creates a social atmosphere from the moment of departure. Multiple sun pads are positioned across the deck for guests who want to sunbathe during the anchor stop or the cruising route. An upper helm station above the main cockpit gives the captain an elevated navigation position and gives guests who want the highest vantage point on the vessel a separate open-air area. The sundeck adds a third outdoor zone — distinct from the main cockpit and the upper helm — for the group to spread across during the full charter. The full galley is equipped with stove, oven, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and coffee maker for on-charter meal preparation and provisioned overnight stays. The state-of-the-art entertainment system is operational throughout the vessel.
Why Charter the 43′ Rendezvous Catamaran in Miami?
The 43 Rendezvous is the entry-level catamaran in the Miami Boat Charters fleet — the right choice for groups who want the twin-hull experience at the most accessible price point, or who have chartered the 62 Luxury Catamaran previously and want a more intimate format for a smaller group. At 43 feet, the Rendezvous is the most maneuverable catamaran available from Miami Beach Marina — it accesses Nixon’s Sandbar shallower positions than the larger 62 Catamaran, gets closer to the sandbar center than most monohull vessels at comparable length, and anchors with less disturbance in calm anchorages. The 3-stateroom 3-head configuration gives 4 overnight guests more bathroom privacy than most 43-foot vessels — all three cabins have direct ensuite access without sharing. Day charters include a USCG-licensed captain, professional crew, fuel for local Miami cruising, water, sodas, and ice — all-in from $1,999 for a 4-hour half-day charter, no fuel surcharge. Charters depart from Miami Beach Marina (300 Alton Rd) for half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) formats.
The standard 43 Rendezvous day charter route covers Government Cut for cruise ship views from the upper helm station, the Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island celebrity home cruise narrated by your captain, and a Nixon’s Sandbar anchor stop in Key Biscayne where the catamaran’s wide beam and stable twin hulls give guests a more settled platform at anchor than a narrow monohull — guests swim while the surround sound runs and the sundeck provides dry sunbathing above. As the afternoon closes, the route continues north for the downtown Miami skyline sunset return. The 43 Rendezvous operates locally on Biscayne Bay and the immediate Intracoastal — for overnight Bimini and Bahamas passages, the 62 Luxury Catamaran with its 750-gallon offshore capability and larger stateroom layout is the appropriate step up.

Frequently Asked Questions — 43′ Rendezvous Catamaran Charter Miami
Everything you need to know before booking the 43′ Rendezvous Catamaran in Miami.
The 43' Rendezvous Catamaran accommodates 12 guests for day charters and 4 guests overnight across 3 private staterooms — Master cabin, VIP cabin, and a third stateroom — each with its own dedicated ensuite head. Three heads for three staterooms means every overnight guest has direct private bathroom access with no sharing. The wide catamaran deck, sundeck, and upper helm station give 12 day charter guests three distinct outdoor zones simultaneously.
The 43' Rendezvous Catamaran starts at $1,999 for a 4-hour half-day charter and $3,499 for an 8-hour full-day charter. All pricing is all-in — USCG-licensed captain, crew, fuel for the full local Miami cruising route, water, sodas, and ice included. No fuel surcharge at the end. Crew gratuity of 15 to 20% of the charter fee is the only additional cost, paid in cash to the captain at the end of the charter.
A catamaran provides four specific advantages over a comparably-priced monohull at the same length. First, stability — the twin hulls eliminate the rolling motion that single-hull vessels produce in beam seas and at choppy anchorages, making a catamaran significantly more comfortable for motion-sensitive guests. Second, deck width — the wide catamaran beam provides more usable outdoor space per foot of vessel than a narrow monohull, giving 12 guests genuinely separate zones to spread across. Third, draft — the catamaran sits shallower in the water, allowing it to anchor closer to the Nixon's Sandbar shallows. Fourth, the twin hull platform stays more level at anchor, which guests notice immediately when moving around the boat during the sandbar stop.
The upper helm station is an elevated navigation and open-air seating position above the main cockpit on the 43' Rendezvous. The captain can navigate from this elevated position, giving the vessel an additional outdoor zone above the main deck for guests who want the highest vantage point on the vessel. During the Star Island cruise, the upper helm station provides a better sightline to the celebrity home waterfront than the main cockpit level. It also serves as a separate lounging area during the Nixon's Sandbar anchor stop for guests who want separation from the main cockpit group.
Yes — all charters on the 43' Rendezvous Catamaran are fully crewed. A USCG-licensed captain handles all navigation, route planning, and sandbar anchoring for the full charter duration from the upper helm station. A professional crew member manages boarding, deck operations, surround sound setup, and guest service throughout. No boating license or prior experience is required from any guest. Miami Boat Charters has operated fully crewed charters on Biscayne Bay since 2000.
The 43' Rendezvous Catamaran is ideal for four specific group types. Motion-sensitive guests — particularly first-time charter guests or guests who have experienced seasickness on monohull vessels — where the catamaran's twin-hull stability makes the on-water experience genuinely different. Small intimate groups of 4 to 8 who want the wide catamaran deck space and three separate outdoor zones without the cost of a larger vessel. Overnight guests who value bathroom privacy — the 3-stateroom 3-head layout gives each of the 4 overnight guests direct ensuite access that 43-foot monohulls at comparable pricing do not provide. And guests choosing between the 43 Rendezvous and the 62 Luxury Catamaran who want the catamaran experience at the most accessible price point for a smaller group.
